BIAFRANS REMEMBER POGROM THE KILLING OF 3.5 MILLION BIAFRANS

Indigenous People of Biafra exiled in UK on this day we remember the most devastating episode of our history”Biafra”, from year to year it recedes a little further into the past,but the magnitude of it remains beyond our comprehension, and the pain of it beyond consolation. all we know for certain is that we have a duty to remember, for the sake of those who perished.so that they may not be forgotten; for the sake of those descendants who survived them, so that they may know that they are not alone in their sorrow; for our own sake,so that we may not be blind to the evil of which human beings are capable;and for the sake of future generation, so that they may consider well what is needful to prevent such a destruction from happening again to our people or to any people.

 

We Biafrans pledge ourselves to Remember.

And should the wonder happen and i live on to see the world illumined with new light,
the light of justice, love and peace,
I shall surely praise that generation
From the dept of my sorrow,from the deepest abyss of my shattered soul,
But my wound will not be healed.
its blood will flow as long as my heart beats,
As the blood of Biafrans flowed, till their hearts froze

And even should you chukwualbiama in all your mercy
offer me the cup of forgetfulness
i will not touch it i shall say forgive me .YHWH

but if i taste the cup of forgetfulness
i will no longer be I
And so, as long as my heartbeats,
and as long as i know not why
you have done all that you have done
i am unable to forget, i am unwilling to forget.

We pledge ourselves not to forget
i have taken this oath to remember it all.
To Remember and never to forget
Forgetting nothing of this, till ten generation pass.
and the grief disappears and all the pain,
and the punishing i blows are ended for good.
I swear this night of terror shall not have passed in vain
I swear this morning i will not live unchanged,
As if i were no wiser even now even now.

Where you may be, whenever that maybe, i shall be there with you, the last survivor.Because you will be the last survive, i shall be there i promise you. i promise to be the memory of your memory. i promise that what you have endured will not be erased from the human conscience. i promise you this ultimate justice,that neither your name nor your suffering shall be permitted to vanish from world history. you were one man one woman but it is as if you had been one suffering humanity.
