Reminiscing the ancient sacredness of God's creatures, a zeitgeist of strict adherence to the sanctity and purity embedded in the customs of the land (Odinala), not in anyway anything close to Omenala (tradition)- borne out of man's urge or wish.
An epoch when the lands, waters, bitter cola, etc were all incorruptible, immune from poison and, in most cases, vomit or neutralize poisonous concoctions meant to harm one another.
It was an era when truth, purity of heart, virginity, obeisance to Supreme Being, hardwork were held at high esteem and in man's subconsciousness.
On fateful morning, all other creatures, out of greed, took bribe and became an avenue of poisoning people, hiding charms to inflict elephantiasis on another except BITTER COLA. The lands became friendly with charms; the waters too didn't hesitate in being nice to poisonous concoctions and so things fall apart.
Bitter cola was the only thing left to fight evil, neutralize poison, disperse and abhor man's charm-like tendencies. Isn't this this a mystery?
Have you asked yourself why God preserved only bitter cola to depict His original plans for us? Have you ever pondered why no matter the quantum of poison in any food substances, once you are with a single bitter cola, all of those things neutralizes? Have you asked yourself why people go to burial ceremony with bitter cola?
The understanding and insight of the mystery behind bitter cola is a pointer that God has not only call Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to restore Biafra, He has also casted him in the furnace of purity, truthfulness and indestructibility by mortals.
Like Bitter cola, Nnamdi Kanu is the ONLY man immune from deception, lying tongue, bribery, enemies spell or charms; every other persons including Uche Mefor Okafor can become corrupt like lands and waters.
In the scripture, Christ admonishes His followers, Christians, to be like SALT. In same manner, I adjure Biafrans to be like BITTER COLA for only then can we be free from corruption even after Biafra Restoration.
