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
