From an objective and stochastic analysis, with regards to the quest for the sovereignty of Biafra, it can be safely concluded that what has agitated the mind of many a person revolves around whether to be momentarily denied some comfort in place of freedom, or to live affluently as bond men, as reflected in the caption above. But any clear-minded, objective, rational, and realistic person will naturally ask: What is the point in being free when skilled and unskilled people can't get jobs?
Freedom is indeed meaningless if it doesn't translate to economic empowerment and opportunities. The struggle to find employment, especially when skills and qualifications seem to count for little, or even nothing, can be very demoralizing. It is the necessity to resolve this demoralization that there arises a need for a more inclusive and equitable system, where skills training, education, and job opportunities are accessible to all.
When it is considered that Nigeria, as a fraudulently concocted contraption, is full of absurdities, with different strokes for different folks, it highlights the importance of addressing systemic malfunctionality like discrimination, inequality, and lack of access to resources, which unnecessarily trigger and sustain the consistent struggle for meaningful employment and other opportunities.
Freedom must be accompanied by opportunities for economic mobility and growth, if not, it remains a mere mirage.
Another important focus must be channelled to the area of food security. Freedom is indeed hollow if it doesn't translate to basic human needs like food. The struggle to access nutritious food, despite being free, is a harsh reality that many faces. The food and agricultural terrorism being unleashed upon the Biafran population by Fulani terrorists, through their masters from within and outside Nigeria, truly calls for concern.
This unscrupulous, cruel, and callous desecration naturally impedes, interferes, and disrupts equitable distribution of resources, hindering appropriately addressing systemic issues like poverty, inequality, and food insecurity. The feeling of being free yet unable to meet basic needs is not just ironical, but equally cruel.
Because food is the first necessity of life, it is imperative that freedom must be accompanied by accessibility to basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and Healthcare.
Else, it remains a mere mirage.
Let it also be stated emphatically, for the benefit of those who are unnecessarily worked up because of what they consider to be immediate denial or deprivation, that structures are usually put in place, over a period of time, at, sometimes, a very high price. When those prices are being paid, it will look like going uphill.
But shortly after, those prices paid for those structures begin to yield and birth the society of our collective dream, like adequate and free Healthcare, housing, education, electricity, manufacturing, logistics (transportation), orderly (law-ruled) society, safe/progressive/prosperous society, responsible governance, all of which will galvanize to enable Biafrans unleash their creative and innovative ingenuity, for which the world has been terrified about us. This their inherent and pathological fear about Biafrans naturally leads to their unanimity in conspiring against #Biafrans.
With this knowledge at the back of the mind of every Biafran, it will be safe to conclude that no immediate discomfort is weighty enough to cause any Biafran to lose sight of the destination, which is Biafra's FREEDOM.
