GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!

Hear this loud and clear. Many years from now history will record that it was not the tyranny and bondage of President Muhammadu Buhari, his minions and his government or the curse and affliction of Boko Haram, the Fulani herdsmen and the almighty Caliphate that the oppressed people of Nigeria were up against.


These people are not the enemy. They are merely the representatives, the low-level foot soldiers and the primitive enforcers of a greater satanic power that has sought to use them to create chaos in our nation, to subjugate our people in perpetuity, to establish a sacrificial blood bank, to wipe out our faith, to rob us of our identity and to corrupt and destroy our destiny and cherished values.

What we are up against are the forces that inspire, encourage, control, nurture, fund and guide them.They include the unadulterated evil of the wahhabi and salafist doctrines and philosophies espoused and propagated by the Royal House of Saud in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Illuminati agenda of the shapeshifting reptilian forces and Luciferian entities that put President Barack Obama in power in the United States of America 8 years ago and that attempted to ensure a Hilary Clinton Presidency at the end of 2016.

The entire challenge is essentially an existential struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. The fight is raging in both the spiritual and physical realms. The currency is blood and the prizes are the precious and eternal souls of men and the control of the entire world and its enormous resources.

The good news is that our adversaries never saw President-elect Donald J. Trump coming. They wrote him off right from the start and dismissed his aspiration with scorn and contempt. Little did they know that he was God's ace in the spades, or to put it in an even more appropiate manner, God's "trump" card.

And it worked beautifully. The whole world and the forces from hell that control it were shell-shocked. They still are. Yet thankfully there is nothing they can do about it. They forgot that He uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wisdom of the wise.

With Trump in the White House, guided, protected, led, fortified and driven by the love, power, mercy and grace of the Living God that put him there, the world will be a better and safer place after his swearing in on January 20th 2016.

It may take some time but after that day the dark and lonely winter ice of wickedness and witchcraft will begin to melt and the summer sun of blessings, prosperity, joy and peace will begin to rise.

After that day the oppressed people of the southern and Middle Belt zones of Nigeria will have a friend in the White House. And as time goes by they will be given the opportunity to tell their story to the world, to break their chains of servitude, to shattter their yoke of slavery and to free themselves from the hideous mental prison of fear, tyranny and bondage that they have been subjected to over the last 56 years by their internal colonial masters.

After that day their mortal bodies and sacred flesh will no longer be cut to pieces and carved up like Peking diced duck or barbecued spare ribs in state-sponsored pogroms and acts of merciless genocide without any consequences.



Their precious blood will no longer be used as a free-flowing blood bank for the devil and his monstrous demons to drink from and quench their frenzied thirst.

After that day they will no longer buy and eat the charmed and jinxed cow meat that they have been sold and fed by the apprentices and sorcerers of their secret adversaries for the last 56 years.

After that day they will no longer feed on the Caliphs sweet cow meat which, over the years, has enchanted their spirits, locked up their souls, incapacitated their thinking faculties, broken their will, taken away their courage, destroyed their manhood, bound up their ability to reason, turned them into zombies and reduced them to a pitiful and shameful degree of impotence, cowardice, stoicism and docility.

Finally, after that date, their women and children will no longer be regarded as nothing but fair game, easy sport, expendable chattel and the spoils of war to be enslaved, shared, violated, raped and enjoyed by their collective oppressors and conquerors.

All this will come to pass sooner than later because freedom beckons and its trumpet call  is loud and clear.

Sooner than later Pharaoah shall die and we shall leave Egypt, enter Goshen, part the Red sea and cross over to the Promise Land.

It is just a matter of time. In the next few years our country will either be peacefully and equitably restructured according to the will of the people and the counsel of God or she will be violently broken into two or more pieces.

The mass murder and ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of religious and ethnic minorities in the Middle Belt and the core north over the last 56 years cannot stop it.

The slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Igbos and the barbaric acts of genocide perpetuated against millions of Biafrans over the last 56 years cannot stop it.

The subjugation, dehumanisation, humiliation and outright robbing and pillaging of the people of the Niger Delta area and the southern minorities over the last 56 years cannot stop it.



The castration, demystfication, pacification and infiltration of the people of the south-west over the last 56 years cannot stop it.

The consistent and relentless persecution, incarceration, torture and slaughter of key opposition figures and those that are perceived as being the enemies of our President and his government cannot stop it.

Nothing can stand in the way of this new wave and no mortal can successfully resist it.
It cannot be stopped, delayed, intercepted or aborted because it has been decreed and ordained by the Ancient of Days and the Lord of Hosts.

Locking up Sambo Dasuki, El Zak Zaky, Nnamdi Kanu or any of the other numerous political prisoners and prisoners of war in the  underground dungeons and cells of the numerous security agencies for months and years cannot stop it.

Nothing can stop it because it is written in the wind and it has been pronounced and spoken into existence by the oracles of the Living God.

The unleashing of fear and terror and the inflicting of violence, carnage, brutality and barbarity on innocent and defenceless men, women and children by the Armed Forces and security agencies cannot stop it.

The conspiratorial silence, submissive acquiesence and covert collusion of our nations media cannot stop it. As a matter of fact nothing, no force on earth or in hell, can stop it.

For the voiceless, oppressed, cheated, marginalised and afflicted people of Nigeria the bells of freedom are ringing and it is either liberty or death.

And today I speak for those millions as I dare to proclaim, just like the great American patriot Patrick Henry once dared to proclaim in his famous speech to the Virginia Convention 291 years ago whilst calling for an armed struggle against the British:

"GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!"

THE LOST FEDERALISM AND GOWON'S INFIDELITY

It becomes extremely difficult to set out to write about issues with historical vestiges, as it is often a huge task to get the reader to see through an unbiased lens without drawing his or her intimate bigotry or pre-existing historical notion about a particular subject matter (that is taking sides before critically analyzing and understanding the subject, especially on issues that draw coldly from the lintels of ethno-religious doors that has shaped our modern history. I am compelled regularly, to present unbiased essays on diverse issues, but in making it worthwhile, the discipline of the writer often plays a remarkably role in presenting a systemic analysis of a particular subject matter, devoid of political insinuations but crammed with facts from the sands of time, especially where antipathy to political correctness is an embraced virtue. I humbly ask readers who are either victims of the “elite’s historical oppression”, which releases negative or positive waves, to listen to the apprehension that rocks the heart of Nigeria and judge for yourself whether the conclusions drawn therewith are justified.
Interestingly, it has been a significant practice amongst Nigerians (biographers, contributors and autobiographers) to detail gullible authors to write supposedly history books for posterity, wherein they write concoction of fallacies to absolve themselves from their past errors, or claim (assume) unmerited victory rather than nobly own up to their mistakes to guide future leaders. On the other hand, the reverse trend lately is to refute, accounts in books during book launch or presentation, in other to discredit the accounts or generate controversies enough to put the subject matter in issue, some of which are commendable when lies are published, but the gullible victims becomes the unborn.
To begin, one draws caution from the Colonial Government Report (CGR) of 1947, “The African’s background and outlook on public morality is very different from that of the present day Briton.” The question of how does one give credible accounts of historical facts becomes a subject that requires both, vast research, reading, logic, critically examination and recreation of the times of the said event and sometimes one is left in the winter roads of discovery to wander.

One significant clause in the Aburi Agreement that has reared its head amongst many others is “that legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government was to remain in the Supreme Military Council (SMC), to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided it is possible for a meeting to be held, and the matter requiring determination must be referred to military Governors for their comment and concurrence”    
The above expression is clear and befits at the time the political situation of the country. It literally means, that the decision making process in the government does not reside in one individual but in a body as described above. Whereas, decisions reached or affecting the whole country must or “shall” be referred to the body for their comment and “concurrence”.  Where a particular region fails to concur, it inevitably means it disagrees with such proposition and would definitely not be bound except a more convenient plan is fashioned out to accommodate her interest.
Irrespective of whatever term that has been coined or implied from the above, “confederation” “power to Veto”, which is evidently unwritten, it remarkably seemed to be the only solution that would accommodate the mistrusts and horrific events that had played prior to the Accord.
This is well encapsulated by the words of Adewale Ademoyega in his book “Why We Struck” being the only member of the 15th January 1966 coup who wrote the first hand account of the whole action, he noted thus at page 186 “ …Ojukwu had scored all his points at the meeting. ‘If Gowon were to be faithful to the resolutions,’ the Nigeria (–Biafra) Civil War might have been averted. But as ‘usual’ with him, as soon as Gowon stepped down in Lagos, he gave his ears to the Federal Civil Servants and to his Northern masters, who advised him that he had conceded too much to Ojukwu. There and then, he was prepared to dishonor “his own word” and “break the terms” of the Aburi Agreement. Thus, before the Decree No.8 could be finally issued on March 17, 1967, it had to be passed by the Supreme Military Council (SMC) meeting which sat in Benin on March 10. But Ojukwu did not attend that meeting because he had earlier rejected the draft of that Decree which made a mockery of the Aburi resolutions. The really offending clauses of the decree were Sections 70 and 71 which empowered the SMC to declare a state of emergency in Nigeria, if the Head of the Federal Military Government (FMG) and at least three of the Governors agreed to do so. Section 71 also empowered the Head of the FMG in agreement with at least three of the Governors to legislate for any particular region whenever they deemed it fit during a state of emergency, with or without the consent of the Governor of that particular region. In effect, Gowon had thus taken power unto himself to deal with Ojukwu whenever he pleased, how he pleased and as long as he pleased”
The argument credited to Gowon that Ojukwu misinterpreted the Accord, or that Odemegwu travelled to Nigeria before him after the Accord to give his own version, with due respect is nothing but a fallacy, and can be likened to a guise to re-write history.
The question remains what stopped Gowon from observing strictly the terms of the Aburi Accord? Why was he so concerned with the interpretation than the observance?  As the full implementation and observance of the accord without tampering it would not have raised Ojukwu’s repeated broadcast of the video and audio clips of the Aburi meeting through the Eastern Nigeria Broadcasting Service. As historical records would have it, Odemegwu came with a mission to end the further pogrom committed against the people of old Eastern Nigeria. There couldn’t have been a better time to be serious and prepared with leadership, than in those periods, to vilify Ojukwu’s representation and preparedness would be to condone negligence or unpreparedness on the part of Gowon and his Team, observing the fact that no pressure nor causalities were been conveyed on Gowon’s side.
The Aburi Accord failed solely as a result of Yakubu Gowon’s infidelity to the strict observance and implementation of the Accord without further deliberation, in addition to his failure to exhibit genuine exemplary leadership by asking for renegotiation if he felt he had been out smarted, which practically wasn’t the case, as the issue that ought to be paramount is the safety of the citizens and stability of the State, than a leaders proclivity for central power, it would have been noble than hiding under spurious comments to acknowledge his youthful errors and advocate for a system of Government that would accommodate all ethnic groups and religions linings in other to end the contemporary feud in Nigeria.
The Nigeria-Biafran Civil War would have been averted as its trigger became the failure of the “Aburi Accord to Stand”. Majority of historians, even those being acquiescingly misleading themselves and their readers by the personality of both actors which can be rightly differentiated from the written agreements, admitted quite unexpectedly that Gowon on the stance of the Aburi Accord had to be held responsible for the failure of the Accord and the collateral succession. Nigeria haven been strained by crisis, the thread of allegedly unity needed a single mishap and Gowon was unexpectedly but readily available to offer same. In the words of Ademoyega ‘…He had been hurled into the saddle of power by forces that were greater than himself, he did not claim to have control over those forces….He was simply an instrument of fate and time. Once in the saddle, he did not pretend to be wiser than his colleagues. He did not pretend to have answers to the problem of the nations…he was conscious that other Nigerians had a part to play in the scheme of things and allowed them to have a say..”  With Aburi Accord a lot would have been prevented, a lot would have been mended, the quest for material possession in this case Oil, confused many, made the good bad, made the bad ugly, and ultimately distorted where their allegiance should lie. This error has shaped the Nigeria of today.
All this crisis here and there may have been averted.
Nigeria needs to be Politically Restructured to accommodate all ethnic groups and  put an end to all killings.


Disclaimer: The above examination seeks to pick errors in leadership to guide future actions. It is neither a means to demonize or adulate any individual, whether living or dead. Therefore all proposition, comments and analysis are drawn solely on the premise of Aburi Accord and actions leading thereto.


Thank you.

The British colonization of this part of sub-Saharan Africa and their decision to unite the parts that makes up the present day Nigeria which cuts across religious divides, tribes and languages is where the problem of Nigeria as not being a single peaceful whole started.

Philiosophy Of Life By Ogbuka Ifeanyichukwu: Part1

You will understand what life is if you think about the act of dying. When I die, how will I be different from the way I am right now? In the first moments after death, my body will be scarcely different in physical terms than it was in the last seconds of life but I will no longer move, no longer sense, nor speak, nor feel, nor care. You will also come to understand
