Doyin Okupe, I am sorry, at your age ,you do not know that there is nothing like Nigeria. You do not know that because you do not know your History.
Those that do not know their history do not know who they are. Hence they do not have Identity. Take it from me prior to the coming of the British, there was no place called Nigeria. Does the word Amalgamation mean any thing to you? This took place in1914. Britain, amalgamated three different Countries, with not even any commonality, to be a Union. They did not call it Union., rather they called it Nigeria. There was no consultation of any type. It was imposed on them. So, at this time of the world’s modern civilization, the citizens of the amalgamated Countries do not have the right to challenge, the chief of colonization, Slavery, and all sorts of atrocities. Bear in mind Britain shares no boundaries with any of the Countries,she Amalgamated,
Mr. I know my histori, and I know my Identity. I am a Biafran. The People of Former Eastern Region pulled out of the Union, created by Britain, and told the world, the four Walls of Eastern Region is Biafra. That is the way it is. Therefore, take your Nigeria. Biafrans are gone to the land God gave them. You can come again.
