Chidi,
It’s possible that Adepoju has started developing a martyrdom complex , in which case we had better ask him now: How would you like to be remembered , after security agents come and tote your mystical gnash away for talking big-talk ?
Re- Poetry as a weapon against oppression, since – God forbid- poetry can never be a weapon of oppression….
Here we have Niyi Osundare and his Not My Business
in the same tradition of Martin Niemöller and hisFirst they came for the Socialists ( probably what Bishop Kukah would sound like, if possessed by the Holy Spirit he climbed down from Big Grammar ethics to the Motor Park reality of the suffering masses, of the this kind : the many, many pithy instances of a sometimes wry but never bitter Chidi Anthony Opara taking on the vagaries of life in Nigeria, suffering , blood, sweat and tears.
If Fela Kuti ( mostly in the real Nigerian English ) Dr. Sir Warrior ( in Igbo) and Oliver De Coque ( both) were with us today, in person, how would they be relating to what’s going on through the poetry of protest music?

By that singular act of self-sacrifice, Mohamed Bouazizi kick-started the Revolution/ Arab Spring
When the conditions are right, all it should take is a little spark, such as what happened at Lekki
The 2023 Elections of 23rd February 2023 are 620 days away , and, needless to say, at this rate of fallout, many, many things are going to happen before that date (with fate)
To avoid another hunger catastrophe I wish that the people who are going to be most directly affected start do what’s necessary
By the way Chidi, the Prophet Moses was eighty years old when he led the children of Israel out of Egypt....

Chidi,
It could be understood and not only assumed that since you are right there in the thick of it, you must know what you are talking about, unlike those of us who are thousands of miles from the scene of the crimes being committed. That being so, you could please demystify us as to exactly what is meant by " pro referendum killer cells" which seems to imply that there are armed criminals going around threatening their fellow citizens and brother tribesmen that they must vote “Yes” Biafra, or else they are traitors and their very lives could therefore be in danger.
The main possible danger to a Yes vote for Biafra in a free and fair referendum (in which it is a clear Yes or No choice) is the likelihood that even before the referendum takes place, some of the people in the North, understandably, especially in the North, would already be seething and in a retaliatory mode they are going to be in it is to be expected that they would start giving marching orders to the millions of Igbos currently prospering or eking out a living in the North, to please pack up their belongings and start going back home to their own country....not to mention the inevitable looting and confiscation of Igbo owned businesses and property...
So far, if achievable/ feasible the best way out of this imbroglio and a worthwhile alternative to unnecessary bloodshed is what is Lord Agbetuyi’s wonderful summation of Doyen Ayo Olukotun’s essay, here
