The people of Haiti are in need of our help
All the people of former eastern Nigeria, the Igbo in particular, should do whatever they can to help the people of Haiti at this tragic time. We should remember that Haiti under President Francois Duvalier was one of the few countries to recognize the Republic of Biafra. In addition, The Republic of Haiti sent relief materials (food, medicine, clothing, etc) that without doubt helped save the lives of the children of Biafra. Haitians helped us when many countries abandoned us. Today, Haitians need our help. This is the time to pay them back. This is the time to display generosity of the spirit. Please help our brothers and sisters who are currently going through hell in this island nation.
