I hope the ones who didn’t make it know that their children survived. I hope they know their bloodline did not end with them.
I hope they know we rebuilt Igbo land. I hope they know it didn’t end with them.
I hope they know their daughters grew into some of the most beautiful, resilient women in the world, and their sons became successful wherever they went.
I hope they know that despite the war, the loss, the starvation, the displacement, and everything that was done to break us, ndi Igbo endured.
We are still here. We rebuilt. We thrived.
We will always remember.
No we won’t forget!
Surviving Biafra genocide!
