Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has claimed to have sacrified his wife for two years in his struggle for the actualization of Biafra as he emphasized that he was born to restore Biafra.

Kanu revealed this when he received members of the Igbo Civil Society Coalition, led by Obasi Igwe at his Umuahia home yesterday.

The IPOB leader, while he was in prison, said the Federal government offered to allow him have the Republic of Biafra with just the Five Eastern states.

According to him, he rejected the offer because he wanted seven states and not five states.

Kanu also claimed that the FG offered him a mansion in Dubai and an oil bloc to stop his agitation for the creation of Biafra but he also refused the offer.

However, he also opined to have sacrificed his wife for two years, which means he cannot be bought. Never the less the Biafra activist did not give further details on how he has sacrficed his wife.

He said: “They gave me Biafra in prison with only the five Igbo states; I said no, I want Benue and Rivers. They can’t buy us with money.

If I can turn down oil block, turn down mansions in Dubai, what can they offer us? All the roads in Biafra land are in deplorable condition, yet we have elites who are just interested in their pockets.

All the roads in Biafra are bad. Apart from Okpara (late Michael Okpara), Mbonu Ojike and Sam Mbakwe, I have not seen any elite in Igbo land. Let them show us what they have done, no roads, no water, nothing. Because they are in Abuja, they are now elites, let them show us what they have done for the people as elites.

They said everything has price, I told them that Nnamdi Kanu has no price. All of you here know my wife, I sacrificed her for two years so what can they offer me.

Self actualization is not war. We are not for war. We are not talking of war but self actualization. Self determination is not war. Any elite that interprets self determination to be war does not understand English.

Biafra is coming; there is nothing that can stop it, no matter the level of intimidation and blackmail. Some people are running around, saying why must it be Nnamdi Kanu, why not me. I am not an elite.

I was born to restore Biafra. We are not interested in any violence, self actualization is not violent" he said
