"Now I understand.."
"If we were given Biafra today. In the next 4years you will be surprised at what it will become of us. You don't know how determined we are…" He said
"The reason we want Biafra is that we want to return to the way we were before the British came to colonize us. Biafrans have been blessed by God and we want to develop our culture and heritage and talents…"
"We want the best for our people and a better place to live in peace and harmony…"
"The Actualization of Biafra is the rebirth of a new nation, new talent,new life, development and infrastructure and technology for the Biafra citizen"
Obinna*
"Yes, you are 100% right about the rebirth of new nation, new life and new talent, more opportunities for modern development and infrastructure and technology for the Biafra citizen "...
"The day Nigeria will accept a referendum to be conducted is the day we will find the root cause of our problem and make Biafra a better place"…
"And I believe that I cannot achieve Biafra alone, we need to unite our people to achieve this and work as one family" He said
Obinna*
"This is a very difficult task because to unite millions of people is one of the most difficult things in the world.."
Chibuzor*
"I know but I am very confident that you have the potential to do it, But promise me that you won't let us down and work with the directorate of State for the Biafra Actualization Movement and work collectively to move this struggle for Self-determination"
Obinna*
"Okay, I promise you, and those who die in this struggle for freedom that I will try my best to restore Biafra and make biafra a better place if I am alive to witness it …"
"Trust me you will get through this and you will be victorious in the end and I believe God won't let his Children down, God will guide and protect you! In Jesus name I pray…"
"Amen…" I said
"Thanks for your encouragement I will try my best to work with the directorate of state for The Biafra Actualization Movement ..."
"Let me continue driving I got alot to tell you today and tomorrow for you begin with your plan for biafra restoration"
"Okay, I am available any day, anytime for this discussion I don't want a moment where I will get half-baked information just like how my grandpa left without having a fulfill discussion it was painful though "
"Sorry about, the experience you heard with your dad and also I want to you tell you my own story which you never border to ask "
"Do you know that I lost my wife to an accident?"....
"Sorry for losing your wife to an accident. I know how painful it's living without her by your side."
"Thanks, I really appreciate"
"My Son Ebuka Is a soldier in the Nigerian Army and I believe he will work with you to restore Biafra."
WE ARRIVE AT THE ROUNDABOUT
We left the market already and we arrived at the Benue Roundabout. He was driving straight.
I could see people going about their normal business while he continued speaking as drives.
"So I was talking About my son, I want you to work together as brothers, take him not as a soldier but as a family to you…"
I was surprised when he said that his son is a soldier that made me wonder why Chibuzor would risk his son life to become a soldier but I could remember that it 's been a long time since we last saw each other. I guess it should be 10years ago and I believe that he must have changed alot that I might not be able to remember him and then I replied to him.
