October 31, 2022, was a great day as the Abia State Coordinator, Akparawa Mendie acknowledges Odina-ana (The most ancient way of life known to man which was handed over through our forefathers to us by CREATION Himself, CHIUKWU-OKIKE-ABIAMA)Akparawa Mendie, who is from Annang Province in Biafraland celebrated the native Kolanut today amid the Great Biafran Elders, Abia State.
According to him, the celebration came up as a result of the Biafran culture of presentation of Kolanut on every occasion, which when broken, has various meanings depending on how many pieces it appeared in.
He went further in explaining by saying that he picked a Kolanut in a feast as it was presented to him to pray on, as he broke the Kolanut, it was so fortunate for him that the Kolanut appeared to be a seven-piece Kolanut, which means good fortune for who broke it. And this calls for celebration as Odina-ana so demands.
"I was so surprised when the interpretation by Igbo Biafran Elders on a Seven-piece Kolanut I broke in one occasion that I attended is being interpreted to be the same meaning by an elderly man in my village". "Then, I realized that Biafrans are tied with a common culture and value system".
In his remarks, he said, "I dedicate this celebration of Kolanut of good fortune for the FREEDOM of our Indefatigable leader, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and BIAFRA Restoration".
We also gained a great lesson on this memorable occasion today as the Biafran Elders educated us bountifully about Kolanut and other Biafran cultural practices.
The Annang and Ibibio-speaking Biafrans turned out en mass to grace the occasion in support of their son, Akparawa Mendie.
BIAFRA is our Religion!
BIAFRA is our Culture!
BIAFRA is our Heritage!
BIAFRA is our Life!
All Hail BIAFRA!
