Dear @KadariaAhmed I wish i was one of those your Igbo friends and we could have one on one conversation on your tweet about "pro biafra provocative siblings" Your tweet and events lately have opened some wounds in my heart maybe for some other Igbo people who grew up and lived
in the North, You spoke about Allegiance to Biafra not Nigeria, honesty, deep seated anger, I can tell you that most Igbo's believe in Nigeria but Nigeria don't believe in them, Not all Igbo's who believe in Biafra are provocative or Hate Nigeria but they don't have any other
choice, majority want a country that recognized their efforts, where there is a level playing field, where they are not been persecuted, abused, killed, denied and hated for been IGBO. Growing up in Kano i know countless of times when me and my brothers abandoned everything we
had and ran for safety at the Bompai police station, at a time we went as far as Kaduna Airforce base, for crises no Igbo person had started, 95% of Igbos in North are peaceful, hardworking, but every single time they get killed, abused, business destroyed, they live in fear,
for things they know nothing about, no one single person has been held responsible, no compensation, no sorry, nothing, 1000's of Igbo people had left the north because of this. I was spat on as a young boy in Kano by Alamajiris my sin for dressing well and going to church,
recently Igbos where denied to vote in Lagos, by well organized Yoruba youths/thugs till date no one has been held responsible rather they have been rewarded for their acts, you see why Biafra is the only option for some Igbo's, a at least they will have a sense of belonging,
freedom, recognition, You do not know what it feels to be Igbo in Nigeria, You went to schools with cut of mark we didn't even thou we came out from war. Everything Igbo people have today in Nigeria has been through hardwork not giving. So lets work towards that truth, honesty,
equality, love, inclusiveness that you spoke about maybe we will have a Nigeria where all of us will be proud of, for now is hard to pledge Allegiance to this Nigeria. That is why Biafra is a choice not a wish. May God bless you @DrJoeAbah @AMADICHIMA @UchePOkoye @akaebube
