"I don’t care! Quote me verbatim.If I’m re-arrested, this
country will burn, I assure you. From where that oil money they depend on, they
can no longer have access to it. I assure them that. This is not empty
threat.We’re IPOB, we don’t abandon our own.
I will sacrifice anything including my family to ensure that
Biafra is restored. Any obstacle on my way will be obliterated. I’m not asking
for Sokoto; I’m not asking for Kaduna, or Borno, I said this very land where my
progenitors raised us; the land of our ancestors; of over 5, 000 years old,
this land must be free, absolutely free, I assure you of that. The way we were
before the whiteman came; had the white man not come, I would have no
relationship with Sokoto, non whatsoever. The whiteman is not God, only God can
create a nation, Lord Luguard is not God, only God can create a nation. I can
tell you the day Nigeria was created even till the exact second and hour, but
you can’t tell me when Biafra was created. It came as a result of organic
interaction of cultures and value systems and traditions fussed into one to
make Biafra a possibility, that is how nations emerge.
By the collision of
commonalities and value systems, not one idiot somewhere pontificating and
dictating to us who should be in a country or not. Other African people can
accept it, Nnamdi kanu cannot accept that. The whiteman is not God and cannot
create a country for me. Have Nigerians sat round the table to say we have
agreed that our name is Nigeria? We want to live together; perhaps, there will
be a strong argument against what I’m proposing. Right now, what we are seeking
to do is go back to where we were before 1914. From there, we can then begin to
negotiate and discuss." He told Sun, in a recent interview when asked If he is
not afraid that he could be re-arrested as the Federal Government.
