“To
make Nigeria one is a task that must be done” he lowered his gaze, and tears
slipped out of his left eye, I saw my father fighting to stop either the tears
or the tales of a deadly civil war that claimed the life of his best
friends.
He pointed at an old radio, which shows the words he said were from there,
He looked up to the sky, and the agony in his eyes explained how bullets flew.
there were killers, there were rapists, i could still see some bullet wounds healed but memorable.
though i wanted to hear the story, yet i could not bear the sight of my Fathers tears.
Oh yea war!
stay away from my people
stay away from Nigeria
stay away from Africa
and let my father's tears come with a smile of the achievements of his children
and not in any more remembrance of the lost world
a period of ignorance and pride
a time we are not ever going to see again
yes, TO MAKE NIGERIA ONE IS A TASK THAT MUST BE DONE
but not in violence and war
for we do not kill who we protect
we do not uproot a vine we water
a story i was supposed to tell
but sorry my father didn't say all
(This is to inform you all that i am conducting a research on Nigeria-Biafra war, talking to eye witnesses and retired soldiers, using the details to do a screenplay. we need good cinema films, it starts with this screenplay. to collaborate or produce this work, contact me)
