BECAUSE I AM IGBO
Don’t criticize me because I am Igbo.
Don’t deny me of my right because I am Igbo.
Don’t deny me of opportunities because I am Igbo.
Don’t join my enemies who want to kill me because I am Igbo.

Don’t kill the works of my hands because I am Igbo.
Don’t try to shut me up because I am Igbo.
Don’t make my neighbours to hate me because you hate Igbos.
I have been marginalized enough in my father’s land don’t make it worse.

All I ask this day as I mourn my fallen heroes.
Accord me the same opportunity as Musa from the North and Wale from the West.
Allow me speak freely without the fear of being labeled a terrorist.
My right should be respected as a Nigerian.

My brothers..
Abokin na daga Arewa (My friend from the North).
Ore mi lati odo (My friend from the West).
Are my demands too much?

God bless the land of the rising sun.
#OZOEMENA

Feel free to critique..
