Listen to Godwin Donatus recount his experience on how he accepted he was Biafran to escape lynching.

HOW I ACCEPTED I AM A BIAFRAN

Viewing the beautiful sight of the Garden City Port Harcourt i decided to visit the popular mile one market to get some stuffs.

I was trying to make purchase when i heard a guy shouting the price of what he was selling in Biafra currency, i asked him ” you are using biafra currency in a Nigerian State” playfully, that was the only thing i said, he dropped the cloths move towards me and Asked me who i was, where i came from, who is my president, which State is Nigerian State, as all these questions dropped at once.

He shouted am a Biafran, my people the next thing i saw i was rounded up in the market, when i look at their faces i know am in Trouble, some of them felt like hitting me, Thank God for my stature and the little Igbo i know, even the guy i wanted to buy something from denied me, i had to speak a little Igbo and declare i was a Biafran.

Now am trying to process the information in my head, what would have happened if i didn’t admit

As a Corper

Nigeria is Ours

Nigeria we serve.

I pray for this Country Called Nigeria, History should not repeat itself in a Violent manner.
