Sometimes i wonder what it means by using zoo Nigeria as topic 'what is propaganda', and what role does it have in Biafrans political life? That is the question of greatest interest to us the born Biafrans. How should propaganda look in the new world era, and what is its role in our movement 'IPOB'? Is it an end in itself we believe in what we learn an act, or only a means to an end life it know more new news for the war? We must discuss that, but we can do that only when we begin with the origin of propaganda itself, namely the idea is the internet it's keyworld for the world to believe that the web, has then move to the target of propaganda, namely people call the cybernet.
Ideas in themselves are timeless. They are not tied to individuals, much less to a people. They rest in a people, it is true, and affect their attitudes. Ideas, Biafran people says, are in the clouds. When someone comes along who can put in words what everyone feels in their hearts, each feels: “Yes! That is what I have always wanted and hoped for Nnamdi Kanu.” That is what happens the first time one hears one of Ojukwu's major speeches. In oversea here i have met people who had attended a Nnamdi Kanu meeting for the first time, and at the end they said: “This man put in words everything I had been searching for many years. For the first time i got it, someone gave form to what we want. Others are lost in confusion such like zoo Nigerian's, but suddenly someone stands up and puts it in words. ZOONIG’s words end up; we believe soo it become reality: Lost in silent misery, God gave someone to express my suffering but not when you are ZOONIG.
Some kind of idea is at the beginning of every political movement for IPOB. It is not necessary to put this idea in a thick book, nor that it take political form in a hundred long paragraphs. History proves that the greatest world movements have always developed when their leaders knew how to unify their followers under a short run, clear theme i see it in the youth is IPOB. That is clear from the French Revolution era, today some like and hate French people even bomb them, or Cromwell’s movement, or Buddhism, Islam, or Christianity. Christ’s goal was clear and simple: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” He gathered his followers behind that straightforward statement. Because this teaching was simple, crisp, clear, and understandable, enabling the broad masses to stand behind it, it in the end conquered the world.
Biafran's every one can say that each person has a worldview not because he or she knows a lot or has read a lot but because he sees all of life from a certain standpoint, and measures everything by a certain standard. I am a Christian when I believe that the meaning of my life is the heavy responsibility to love my neighbor as myself. Brother Peter's once said: “Act as if the principle of your life could be the principle for your entire nation.” I am a National Socialist even a propagandist not when I want this or that from politics, rather when I consider all aspects of daily life. I must act in all things by putting the good of the whole above my personal good even if it will take my like, by putting the good of the Biafra state above my personal good. But then I also have the guarantee that such a Biafra state will be able to protect my personal life. I am a National Socialist also a propagandist when I see everything in politics, culture or the economy from this standpoint. I therefore do not evaluate the theater from the standpoint of whether it is elegant or amusing, rather I ask: Is it good for my people, is it useful for them, does it strengthen the community? If so, the community in turn can benefit, support and strengthen me. I do not see the economy of ZOING as some sort of way of making money, rather the bad government, I want an economy that will strengthen the people, make them healthy and powerful. Then too I can expect that this people will support and maintain me. If I see things in this way, I see the economy in National Socialist terms.
If I develop this crisp, clear idea into a system of thought that includes all human drives, wishes, and actions, I have a worldview.
Now we must consider who is the carrier, the transmitter, the guardian of such ideas. An idea always lives in individuals Nnmadi Kanu etc. It seeks an individual to transmit its great intellectual force for a new era of born country. It becomes alive in a brain, and seeks escape through the mouth. The idea is preached by individuals, individuals who will never be satisfied to have the knowledge remain theirs alone. You know that from experience. When one knows something one does not keep it hidden like a buried treasure, but rather one seeks to tell others. One looks for people who should know it. One feels that everyone else should know as well, for one feels alone when no one else knows. For example, if I see a beautiful painting in an art gallery, I have the need to tell others. I meet a good friend and say to him: I have found a cute picture. I have to show it to you. The same it's true of ideas. If an idea lives in an individual like Nnmadi Kanu, he has the urge to tell others. There is some mysterious force in every human that drives people to tell others while some can not tell others. The greater and simpler the idea is, the more it relates to daily life which is the web, the more one has the desire to tell everyone about it or not, everything is in website so some are building power skills.
If I believe that the nation must be governed by the principle that the common good comes before the individual good, I will tell it to those to whom it applies. As soon as I realize that this principle is not only of a transcendental nature, but that it applies to daily life, I have the need to tell it to those in the economic, war, pace, etc in the world. And if I see it applies to culture as well, I have the need to tell it to those people involved in cultural activities. The great masses will ever won simply by such a sentence; it must cast its shadow over all areas of human life.
You see how an idea spreads and becomes a worldview today, and how the bearer, the individual, reaches out to form a community, and how an organization, then Biafra movement grows from the individual. The idea is no longer buried in the heart and mind of an individual. Now there are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 a hundred, and ever more. That is the secret of ideas; they are like a wildfire that cannot be restrained. They are like a gas that seeps through everything. Where an idea finds entry, it enters, and soon that person is influencing others. The others cannot stop it. They may believe they can stop the fire by force. They may even be able to do so for two, or ten, twenty, or fifty years. But that is not significant in the larger course of world history. It is irrelevant if something happens today or tomorrow, or even years in the future.
Each movement begins as a party. That does not mean it has to follow the methods of parliamentary parties. We see a party as a part of the people. As an idea spreads, becoming a worldview that spreads to the community, the community will want to give the idea practical form. The party will feel the necessity to organize. Someone will suddenly have the idea: “You think the way I think. You are working over there, I am working here, and we know nothing of each other. That is absurd. It would be better if we worked together, if I did my part and you did yours. Would it not be good if we met every month and talked?” That is an organization. Gradually, a strong organism develops, a party ready to fight for its ideals. A party that does not want that will indeed continue to preach its ideals, but will never bring them into reality.
A recent example may help. Our movement is often accused of losing its character as a movement. We are accused of taking the vast, broad and ever-moving system of thought in any country we find your self that's why ZONIG is hard for Every Biafrans.
