An email arrived this
morning from my friend KC of Biafraland in the South East of Nigeria. In a
previous interview, Conversations with Naomi: My Biafran Friend we
were able to "peek into a Biafran's frame of mind at this critical juncture
when Biafra seeks to secede from Nigeria.."
Today's email from KC to Naomi
April 26, 2016
Good Day Madam, Have you seen this
news?
Breaking news: Many feared killed as Fulani herdsmen invade Enugu communities https://t.co/GJYo156qWa BIAFRATODAY (@Biafranewspoint) April 25, 2016

| Fulani herdsman |
KC: The Fulani herdsmen are the same people that
have been causing mayhem in all parts of Nigeria and has now gone to our land
to burn churches and kill our people with no arrest at all!
These are Buhari blood
relations because he's Fulani too and Fulani herdsmen are the fourth deadliest
terrorist group in the world but not one is arrested, they kill and go free!
Someone claimed on
twitter that yesterday as the attack was going on in our land the governor of
Enugu state in Biafraland placed a call to the president but no reply from
him. The police couldn't even stop the herdsmen from killing our people
because they are answerable to Inspector General of Police and the president, not the state Governor!
Personally I have
written off Nigeria! To me it doesn't exist again and I think the only option
now is to fight for survival because Buhari and his brothers are out to Islamize our people and take our lands by at all cost!
Naomi: KC, I would like to ask a few important questions. First of all, how organized is
IPOB?
KC: As you know, IPOB stands for
Indigenous People of Biafra, the owners of the Biafraland and its
resources. We have a well organized hierarchy. As you know, our
leader Nnamdi Kanu is currently in detention but our Deputy Director
Uche Mefor doubles as the Director of Radio Biafra and the Director of IPOB in
the absence of our Leader Nnamdi Kanu.
KC: Right now nothing is in place for self-defense! The Fulani herdsmen are fighting for
our lands and the president, Buhari, is also Fulani by tribe so he has decided
to close his eyes on the atrocities of his Kinsmen. We the Biafrans see
them as an Islamist Army in disguise as herdsmen! The Nigerian government
kept their eyes closed as the Fulani herdsmen killed yesterday in Enugu!
I attached my tweet to
you today to bring to your notice that it is alleged that the Nigerian
government was complicit in the defense of its herdsmen and this has been the
case since the present government came to power especially against Christians
and Biafrans. The Fulani herdsmen kills and destroys without reproach, to
them and the present government their cattle are more important than human
beings.
Naomi: Is there any country or entity that will
intervene to assist?
KC: We are not sure of any country that will
intervene in our situation because the Nigerian government has paid them off to
keep silent about Biafra. Amnesty International and United Nations that we
hoped on has all turned their eyes against us.
The world knows Biafrans
as unique people and with the assistance of Britain they have kept us in
perpetual subjugation until today under the Muslim North, which they used to
kill us during the Biafran-Nigerian civil war.
We pray that as the Americans goes to the polls they will elect a leader that will look into our plights.
We also believe
that Israel will come to aid in all forms both by lobbying for
recognition of Biafra as a Sovereign State in the United Nations and by
supporting the struggle militarily when necessary.
Naomi: How will the Biafran people transition
from a peace loving and religious group to be able to defend yourselves? And what
would happen if your people started to arm themselves in their communities?
KC: We have local security guards in our respective
communities but I guess they were overwhelmed by a more organized and well-armed
Fulani herdsmen yesterday at Enugu. I believe the Nigerian government arms
the Fulani herdsmen because when they attack civilians the government does not
lift a finger to assist the victims. This isn't the first time such has
occurred but why we spoke out in such a magnitude and rejected it, is
because it's in our land- Biafra and they even destroyed churches and and
lives! They are the fourth most deadly terrorist group in the world so
this speaks volumes about them. Also they focus mostly on Christians
communities.
As I said, nothing is
in place for self-defense!
The Fulani herdsmen are
fighting for our lands and Buhari is also Fulani by tribe so he
has decided to close his eyes on the atrocities of his Kinsmen. We the
Biafrans see them as an Islamist Army in disguise as herdsmen! The
Nigerian government kept their eyes closed as the Fulani herdsmen killed
yesterday in Enugu.
With our leader Nnamdi
Kanu in detention the Nigerian government are looking for evidence of terrorism
against him having charged him with treasonable felony, so it’s not wise to
pick up arms till our director is out of detention.
They adjourned our leader's case in the federal high court today to 20-23rd of June 2016 these are deliberate delay tactics to know if the Biafrans will retaliate in any form and they will immediately tag us terrorist and condemn our leader Nnamdi Kanu!
We are in a big mess but
we will triumph over the Pharaoh of our time - Muhammed Buhari.
Naomi: Thank you KC, stay strong!
Naomi: Thank you KC, stay strong!
KC: Take good care of yourself!
