BIAFRA, MY COUNTRY!!You begin to have faith in the future of our dear country and then all of a sudden, something happens and you discover that we still have a long way to go. The past few days have not really gone down well with some group of individuals who are fighting for the secession of Nigeria and the reign of Biafra. There have been series of ‘peaceful’ protest in the south-eastern part of our country by the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) over the long detention of their leader ‘Nnamdi Kalu’. Onitsha, Port-Harcout and Aba metropolis have not known peace since the inception of the Biafran Struggle. Often times, I wonder if there is something inherently wrong with the black mind. I have often tried to understand what exactly is our utmost desire and why most of the time, our emotions are much greater than logic. The Biafran dream is a pipe dream that can never be achieved unless the agitators channel their anger to the right direction. Our wants most of the time are largely driven by our emotions at that moment and never for the good of humanity.This is definitely not the right time to express our grievances through violent means, we should be happy that we are Nigerians because God willed it so and the future of our dear country looks bright as the day unfolds. We are in the same Country due to a much greater reason beyond human comprehension.Looking at it from a perspective view, one will discover that the Biafran struggle is not an Igbo struggle but also a black man's struggle. You will also discover that this struggle was borne out of frustration, unemployment, hunger, poverty, idleness and the poor state of our economy. Take a close look at those involved in the so called ‘Biafra Struggle’, you will discover that they are mainly thugs, touts, illiterate and jobless youths with torn clothes and singlet.No reasonable educated or business tycoon will risk his life for something that is as useless and meaningless as the biafran struggle. If onlythese touts knew what they are fighting for, they will quickly make peace before things get out of hand.An average Nigerian has the same hopes and struggles as a"biafran". We all have the same dreams. We all experience the same kind of pain and annoyance. No Nigerian has it easy because he belongs to a particular tribe and even the hausas that ruled Nigeria for many years, their people have nothing to show for it. We need each other because we are fighting the same battle. We are one irrespective of our vast ethnic and tribal differences.Look at it from this view, the hausa man is very comfortable in agriculture, the Igbo man is very comfortable in his business, just provide a good environment for his business to thrive, the yoruba man loves education and knowledge. Many other minority groups are linked to the three major tribes. Add all this strength and you will get a prosperous economy. What is life without food, business and knowledge? This probably shows that united we stand, Divide we fall.Nigeria is in a bad state because the citizens are fighting the wrongbattle. Now is not the time to preach for the sovereign reign of a baby country 'Biafra,' it’s time for us to put heads together and work as one Nigeria for the good of humanity. An igbo adage says: “Anyuko mamiri onu o gbaa ufufu",which literaly means: 'if we urinate together, it produces foams implying that united we stand.Whatever an igbo man is going through, is the same thing for a Yoruba man and an hausa man. No free food, no free shelter and no free health care yet each ethnic group has a representativesin the federal level, state level and local government level. In Jonathans government the Igbos were well represented but all we saw was a gross mismanagement of public fund. Who do you blame for this? the government or your government? Are they not the same people to rule in Biafra or are we going to appoint 'saints' to rule us? The yorubas had nothing to show for years with OBJ as the president. Even the Nort
