The Man That Set Himself Ablaze Because Of Biafran Freedom


                  THE FIRST FOREIGN BIAFRAN HERO
One of my facebook friends just told me that love never exist or visited the earth, but I succeeded in convincing her that love existed and visited but gone are the days. I automatically became cold blooded when I came across this story, I began to think about the type of emotion and love, for justice on the biafran race that must have moved her to lay his life for our freedom. 

                As we all know that biafrans has been into slavery to the northern part of Nigeria and mostly we have suffered a lot of genocide from them against us. The last one that was followed by the civil war was the killing of over 2 million biafrans mostly children, and thereby making the remaining ones to flee east immediately. 29th September was proven the worst day by an ethnomusicologist Charles Keil, who visited Nigeria in 1966 as he recounted:

'''The pogroms I witnessed in
Makurdi, Nigeria (late Sept. 1966)
were foreshadowed by months of
intensive anti-Ibo and anti-Eastern
conversations among Tiv, Idoma,
Hausa and other Northerners
resident in Makurdi, and, fitting a
pattern replicated in city after city,
the massacres were led by the
Nigerian army. Before, during and
after the slaughter, Col. Gowon
could be heard over the radio
issuing 'guarantees of safety' to all
Easterners, all citizens of Nigeria,
but the intent of the soldiers, the
only power that counts in Nigeria
now or then, was painfully clear.
After counting the disemboweled
bodies along the Makurdi road
was escorted back to the city by
soldiers who apologized for the
stench and explained politely that
they were doing me and the world
a great favor by eliminating Ibos.

And apart from that, during the war itself more than 2 million biafran citizens were also killed by the northerners again, over 700 in Asaba massacre and many other massacre of the Igbo’s by the Nigerian troops, while some died out of starvation due the the blockage of the importation of foods in biafran land just as they are doing now (by president Mohammadu buhari). They used all this genocidal strategies to assume winner of the war. But a real truth speaker will tell you that Biafra, whom out of lack of ammunition and population size went into self defense, defeated the Nigerian troop. France, Charles de Gaulle and other God’s fearing men and countries saw all this genocides and called it genocide straight and also caution BBC news and their brothers to stop broadcasting the genocides as war strategies. It was then that this young man BRUCE MAYROCK out of his love for biafrans and their fundamental rights, protested for their freedom with his life on 29 may 1969, at the united nations headquarter premises in New York by setting himself ablaze. He died the next day out of the burns and injuries he sustained. He was a student of the Colombian university. His death will never be in vain and biafrans will never forget you in life. May chukwu okike abiama (God of creation) an the God of biafrans grant you eternal rest .AMEN.
