The Indigenous People of Biafra
The indigenous people of biafra
Every poeple has a right of an identification
Every poeple has a right to live
among themselves by themselves
If they so wish to isolates from an old identity
Hi friends have you ever had of biafra
A new nation is about to be born in africa
So to all biafrans
As you fight for freedom
Never gave up your right
The indigenous poeple of biafra
The country nigeria is a British colony
Before the existence of the name nigeria
first exists biafra
We are older than nigeria
We are a people from the supreme
We have our traditions
And our religion is truth (ofor)
We lived peacefully on our land
before the arrival of the hunters
Oh biafra my beloved country
The indigenous people of biafra
We speak igbo
And we worship the supreme
(chukwu abiama) the God of truth
We are well know as hard working
and creative people
And this is the only crime
We ve commited
So we are hated
As well isolated economically
and systematically
After we lost the war
3million biafrans dead
We had nothing left
But now we are the richest
in nigeria
Oh biafra
The land of hope
The land of the rising sun
The indigenous people of biafra
We are peaceful people
That is part of our tradition
We are tough but not rough
We are brave not coward
I see too many calls for freedom
In different places by same people
We need our right
We need be biafrans
And this is the only crime
We ve committed
It been too long we are not satisfied
with nigeria
Is been so long we yain to be free
As we sick for freedom
We are been jailed killed
Tortured
It been too long
But i know one day
We are going to gain
our long awaited freedom
By the grace of (chukwu abiama)
Our reality will soon come to light
Oh biafra my biafra
The land of hope
The land of the rising sun
