The python 2 dance of the Nigerian army on the streets of Eastern Nigeria is a disgrace to mankind. It is equally appalling how the international community has remained silent in the face of extermination of the eastern Nigerian people since 1966. Since the Biafran war ended, the federal government of Nigeria has never made any conscientious effort in re-integrating the eastern youth into the Nigerian society. It is known that the Eastern Nigerian youth are the most educated in terms of numbers. There are more youth in education in the eastern Nigeria than any part of Nigeria yet there are more youth unemployment in the East than any other part of Nigeria. Nigerian government admitted that the youth of the East are more educated and intelligent than any other youth of Nigeria yet in terms of employment those who are far behind the youth of the Eastern Nigeria are in well paid jobs, and the youth of the East are struggling to find painting jobs. Is this right?

Now, instead of finding a solution to the eastern youth unemployment, our president Buhari declares python 2 dance to exterminate the remaining youth who are the future of eastern Nigeria. The world must know that these unemployed youth of tthe East are all graduates, some of them with first and second class. They graduated more than five years ago and up till now, as I am writing, they have no job. I just returned to UK from Nigeria on Sunday, the 17th of September where I observed that the only job available for the youth is menial work, including painting, riding Okada and Keke. These are graduates of the East, and their counterparts, the graduates of the northern origin are all in well paid jobs, and in many cases, have government appointed political offices. To add salt to injury, there is no federal government presence in the East. No good road, no electricity, no industry, nothing whatsoever to get the youth engaged. The only activity open to them is IPOB membership and agitation for Biafra. Are we not lucky that these able youth have not turned to armed robbery or something worse than that? Someone is sitting in Abuja and State Houses talking nonsense, proscribing IPOB and declaring it terrorist organisation. Do you know what that means to term an organisation terrorist? Nigerians must be careful as they are pushing the youth of the East too far.

The only active voice for the Eastern youth at the moment is IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu, and this is why it is stupid of the Eastern governors to proscribe IPOB. Let Nigeria and their python soldiers know that majority of those who are fighting for the actualisation of Biafra are not IPOB members. All Igbos are Biafrans and are actually contributing to its actualisation except those Igbos whose livelihood depends on Nigerian politics and corrupt practices. I mean those thieves who rig the elections for their selfishness. Biafra is not going anywhere, it must surely come to pass. President Buhari was the chairman of PTF with billions of dollars to rebuild Nigerian infrastructure, what did he do in the East? All federal roads in the East of Nigeria are dead trap, from Umuahia to Owerri, Owerri to Onitsha and Onitsha to Lagos. Can anyone honestly tell me that the northern federal roads are as bad as the federal roads in the East? What on earth has President Buhari done for the East, as military head of state, as PTF chairman, and as it is now, as the president of Nigeria? The best he could do is to send soldiers to the East to kill and to maim the frighted youth in the name of python 2 dance. Buhari, the commanders of the army and the grossly corrupt Eastern governors must dance in hell and will be tormented by the spirits of those educated jobless, unemployed, marginalised youth they have massacred. They have died but they are part of Biafran history. We will remember them. On Biafra I stand as python 2 dance is nothing but a motivating factor.
