Sometime in 2017, right there in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s house, an interviewer asked him if he was ready to pay the ultimate prize for Biafra. He answered in the affirmative. He told the interviewer that his death will even bring the restoration of Biafra quicker. I can still hear the interview playing in my subconscious.

Why did MNK say that his death will bring Biafra quicker? Because he understands what his death will mean to millions of Igbo youths both at home and abroad. And he understands that his life is peace and his death the opposite.

I must say that I have avoided writing this article because of the weak few among us, and the tragedy it will unveil. But we can’t continue avoiding the obvious. This warning might save us all a walk into the pit of hell.

I strongly think the leaders in this country and Igbo land are either ignorant of the reality on the ground or they are just playing the devil’s advocate just to put everywhere on fire.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not just loved by millions of youths. Millions of youths are living because of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Many have lost the sense and taste of life but still, keep on because of the hope that lies upon Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s shoulders. The hope of a new nation away from the trauma this country has given to them.

This country is an evil entity. An entity ruled by groups of criminals and murderers. Blood thirsty murderers who have no regard for their people. Men that have looted the oil money and left the masses as paupers. Youths that have been marginalized because they are Igbo have decided to restore their prideful nation which was cut short in 1970. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains the symbol of that hope.

Let nothing happen to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. As an activist and a philosopher who has the gift of using the events of today to read future events, I am telling the leaders of today not to allow anything to happen to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. I am not asking but telling the government to quickly release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This country will not survive what will happen should any bad news be heard about MNK. Every sincere analyst already knows what I am saying.

Let me paint a little picture of what will happen should anything happens to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Firstly, let me start by telling us that should anything happens to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, no military or police can quench what will start happening. Do you know why? Because what will happen will envelop millions of youths. When almost the entire indigenous people decide to pick up arms against a state, there is nothing the state can do. The youths will unleash madness upon the state. At that point, the youths will say to hell with your blackmail. Both the police and military will no more find their voice again to blackmail ndi Igbo. At that time, the youths must have declared war on security forcing all indigenous peoples to quit the military or police or face the youths.

The youths will declare all politicians in Igbo land an enemy of the people. What will start happening will be disastrous and better not explained. But the bottom line is that most of them will run into exile. But nowhere in the world will be safe for them, since Igbo youths are everywhere around the world.

The military will be brought to Igbo land to quench what will be happening, and the same military will run away in civilian clothes. The worse is that while these things will be happening, it won’t be called war, because there won’t be any front anywhere. The world will completely get tired of what is happening and no government will be going on in Igbo land, except the government of the PEOPLE.

At this moment, those who have worked with the government to try to give IPOB a bad name and harm Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will also be declared enemies of the people. What will happen is better not imagined.

I will tell the government again to avoid all this evil by releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has secured freedom from your court asking you to release him, yet you are still holding him hostage. You have denied him medical attention. You have denied him food. Now for a very long time, he needs heart surgery and you have refused him that. You want him dead and I am telling you that his death won’t end well.

You all have failed from all angles in your move to have IPOB destroyed. You infiltrated IPOB and the infiltrators failed. IPOB was able to separate IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from the actions of the infiltrators you all recruited. Today, everybody in Igbo land knows that what is happening is the handwork of the government using infiltrators. You didn’t succeed in killing the image of IPOB. The people are still with IPOB and against your infiltrators. So have you seen why you should stop this game?

The country will gain nothing in setting Igbo land on fire. For when you set Igbo land on fire it won’t quench until this country ends.

If you love the peace we enjoy today, join your voice in demanding that the government release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. I know that most of you in government, and those that support politicians will laugh and say I am making dreaming. You know that looted oil money has a way of making people blind and dumb. But I hope that you people will read this article with your senses intact.

Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu now. You don’t even need Supreme Court to do this. Don’t open this Pandora Box.
