Open Letter To Mr Seun Osewa by sirEAGLES(m): 4:48pm On Dec 10, 2015
I respect Mr Seun Osewa very much, in this era of internet celebrities and arm chair critics Mr Osewa can be seen as a visionary and a role model to millions of youth in this country. That been said I was shocked to see his thread banning freedom of speech against the biafrans. While I am not a biafran and will never be because I believe in an indivisible one Nigeria, I feel the actions of Mr Osewa can be equated to the comments of arguably the next POTUS Donald Trump (barring muslims from coming to the US) which activists and enforcers of human rights worldwide have spoken against, condemning Mr Trump actions as a threat to national security. Mr Osewa “it takes a big man to admit when he is wrong and an even bigger man to shut up when he is right”, I might be wrong but then again I might be right but I am of the opinion that Nairaland should promote free speech and not preach the message of hate, tribalism or nepotism, if u do that Sir, it brings you down to the level of the Nnamdi kanu's, Asari Dokubo's and the Shekau's of this world. Thank you Mr Osewa I will leave you with this famous quote Sir, God bless you Mr Osewa. “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me”. God Bless Nairaland

I think he means well ohh... Just saying. Most of this biafrans are ready to opt for violence if what they want isn't done. The state of our country doesn't need more crises now, we already have enough. Say no to biafra. Nigeria has always been one. We would remain one. They can peacefully ask buh we'll peaceful refuse.

The thread "Nairaland says no to Biafra" is very unfortunate, miscalculated, judgemental, insensitive and tactless.
