Never have I seen a man so energetic and promising like my hero Ukaobasi. I happened to talk to this fine gentleman at a cafe and boutique crowds in downtown Houston. Carefully packing tobacco in a wood pipe judging from where we were sitting on the balcony of this beautiful shopping plaza, I think he's got a whole lot of points.
Ukaobasi is tall, light in complexion and heavy set with great sense of humor. He loves baggy pants and overcoats. He wants to take Biafra to another level. Here we go:
TB:What's up, man!?
Ukaobasi: Not a whole lot TB. What's going on with you?
TB: Well, I've just been chilling taking it one day at a time. I'm just trying to get rid of all the freebee women hanging around my neck. So how's your family?
Ukaobasi: Everybody is doing just well.
TB: Let's talk about the Biafran struggle. Don't you think you have been contradictory all your life? On the one hand you want a Biafran Republic; and on the other hand a sovereign national conference is needed to address the critical situations in the country. What's going here?
Ukaobasi: The Biafran experience is between mourning and getting on with life--between heroic sacrifice and building a national state. Think about it. There are beautiful beaches out there in Biafra. There are lots of things going on. We have better scientists than anywhere on planet earth and we have enough resources to the success of the Biafran enterprise. A dream come true. You can always quote me on that.
TB: What was burying the dead Biafran like at Umuahia when Orji Kalu okayed a location for reburial. What's significant about that?
Ukaobasi: The case of Biafra isn't just about any other story. It is deep than you could imagine. And with a permanent location for the dead, it's now our national story, our history and where our soldiers are finally buried. We need to be able to visit the graves there easily without Olusegun Obasanjo's interference. We need to pay our respect to the dead in a proper, organized way. Just like the way people visit Arlington Cemetry in Virginia.
TB: As a cultural scholar how would you define Biafra?
Ukaobasi: Biafra will be a country where in a couple of phone calls, you can reach the president. It will be accessible, familial, vibrant with a lot of Igbo tradition, a lot of noise, a lot of arguing, a lot of girls, a lot of partying and full of energy .
TB: Really? Come on, man! BNW, the starting point of the Biafran struggle has a restricted forum. Only God knows what's going on there. What's up with that?
Ukaobasi: You have to realize that in a struggle like this, classified documents are necessary.
TB: Have you been raising arms?
Ukaobasi: That is not our way of the Biafran dream. We want to achieve Biafra through dialogue and diplomacy where there will be no bloodshed.
TB: Oh yeah? How would Biafra be a truly free country? I'm not gonna lie to you, I love the United States and I love my freedom. So how would Biafra be free with all the haggling going on between Mr. Fathead, Patrick, NwaBiafra, Biafra, Chiboy, Damian, Ojoto, MeBiafran and your humble self? Do you think you guys can work things out?
Ukaobasi: Of course! It is our goal. It is a dream and when realized will be a truly free country with a thriving democracy. It will be genuinely egalitarian. But I am afraid the only problem Biafra may encounter will be the hagemony of the bastards who lack morals. The ones who think there should not be a free market of ideas.
TB: Who are the bastards. You mean Damian, Ambrose, Mr. Fathead, Biafra, Chiboy and the rest?
Ukaobasi: Nope!
TB: You don't wanna tell me?
Ukaobasi: It's very confidential for now.
TB: Wait a minute. Doesn't this contradict what you said about the country being characterized by its freedom?
Ukaobasi: Not really.
TB: How can this be accomplished?
Ukaobasi: It is going to be an uphill battle. But there are people who have begun to realize that it's a crucial one, and they are beginning to show their heads.
TB: And who are these people?
Ukaobasi: It's the people at BLM who've shown the guts that what feeds any liberation movement is the actions and how to go about its struggles in a genuine and properly organized way.
TB: Let's talk about your private life. What were you doing the other day I saw you hanging out in a street bar?
Ukaobasi: I like to go there and play billiards. Sometimes I check the women out.
TB: How does that make you feel?
Ukaobasi: It's actually a way of relieving the stress caused by this Biafran movement. Besides, the girls are good. Good relief, man!
TB: Do you jack off sometimes?
Ukaobasi: Look TB, I'm a moral being. That question is uncalled for.
TB: Have you seen your partner in crime Anaedo lately?
Ukaobasi: Anaedo just got married. A sweet sixteen and seventh marriage in five years. He's had troubled relationships and marriages almost his entire life. I told him to quit drinking but he wont listen.
TB: Wow! I thought Anaedo was a hardliner. Well I'm running out of time and make sure you stay out of trouble. And stay away from those street bars. Would you?
Ukaobasi: Sure!
Good night!
I LIVE HERE!!!

I did'nt make out nearly as badly as I thought I would. In fact you were very nice to me in every aspect.
With this wonderful Portrait picture now defined, I am now holding my pose for good and hope some mail order brides can now be ordered for me, on account of this flattering profile.
Afterall, a man has to be a man you know (pssst: dont tell my wife).
Really though, I especially enjoyed that part about:
quote:"tall, light in complexion and heavy set with great sense of humor. He loves baggy pants and overcoats"
This internet life is something else. Now I can reassure myself daily that this is who I am afterall.
As they say, "Who born moncki ?"
