Biafra Destiny

For all biafrians everywhere

The wind of change is blowing 
It carries a lot forces
But after it storm 
Still we will stand tall

That is a destiny 
Not a decision
Form: Epic


Oil and Water

oil and water
we can't be in their names 
any longer 

we can't continue as one nation
any more 

we are like an outcast with
same nationality like them

we are not fighting to get wars
we only need our indigenous rights

even our colony recognise
we can't be together
no wonder they said
we are like 
oil and water 

long live biafra
Form: Epic

Anuruedoahu

In Biafra, when we drank from the tilting
cusps of dank leaves and washed with the spittle
of cassava,
the sun scorched like hell.

Añuruedoahu*, the oasis of war, like worldly
cowrie, stagnant, yet devoid of rural fetish,
calmed our nerves and built in the altar of
our souls hopes of answered prayers.




*A mysterious stream in the poet's village.
