Believe it or not , this Night of Power , when I got to this part of a certain prayer
" So great is Your Mercy that You grant the right to live even to the unbelievers who deny You"
for a few seconds my wayward thoughts went to Brer Nnamdi Kanu and his edict that
"'Anyone Who Says Biafra Will Not Be Achieved Will Die' "
The line of prayer quoted is from chapter 10 of " The Unveiling of Love " by Sheikh Muzaffer Ozak al-Jerrahi
the chapter entitled " A Prayer" ...
indeed, " Love is the wine" and from that point of view my appeal to Oga Kanu is PLEASE even as we repent of mistakes in the past,
for now and forever, let us be kind to one another
there should be no problem calling the other, Brother....
Kanu of course is speaking of the future, not the past or the present
here too reminiscent of the Exodus 10:28 - words of dramatic irony, from Pharaoh to Moses :
"Pharaoh said to him, "Go away from me! Beware! You shall no longer see my face, for on the day that you see my face, you shall die!"
Fact is that Pharaoh never saw the face of Moses again....
You know what I mean?
"My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence" (Love minus zero/ No limit)

Chidi,
This thread is getting kind of long, going through so many twists and turns. Now we're here:
Why does the chairman of IPOB have to be so incendiary, talking like this before his trial doesn't help matters much:
'Anyone Who Says Biafra Will Not Be Achieved Will Die' - IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Spits Fire
You know that what he says in at least some small way impacts on Igbos throughout the Naija federation and beyond. When he is not brought to order after making such outlandish utterances it could be interpreted that the silence of the Igbo elders means their consent, not just their indifference, because this unpeaceful way has its inevitable consequences and who the hell does he think he is to pass the death sentence on law-abiding citizens of Nigeria? Is that not inviting hell to descend on the Igbos once again?
As always there's more than one side to a story; I wonder what you make of this piece from propaganda and destabilisation avenue:
RECOLONIZATION OF NIGERIA:Neo-imperalist agenda - forex and political destabilization.
