00:00When was the last time you saw Ajuku?

00:03The group that I represent, all we want for you to do is to call a halt to the fire.

00:09We will not allow him to destabilize our nation.

00:12Yes, sir.

00:13The regime wants him silenced with nothing traced to us.

00:16But that will require placing a hold on secession.

00:20Yes.

00:21And that is the sticky point, Wole.

00:23The Igbos were nothing but an excuse for the military and the mafia

00:28to not do the actual work of nation building.

00:31And that, my friend, is carrying out the aims of January 15.

00:35You should be in class teaching.

00:37Why are you always disturbing the peace of the land?

00:41The last time you held up a radio station with a gun.

00:44Stop that.

00:45Now you are in bed with Ajuku. Why?

00:48I think we need a group of new entrants into this world.

00:53So that we can neutralize the two combatants.

00:56Absolutely.

00:57A third force that will work in terms of a compromise for the people.

01:03Wole, speak all the grammar you want.

01:06But this, this is not the way to go about it.

01:11So what will you have me do, Obama?

01:13I have a message that could end this war and bring about peace.

01:17Supporting the Igbos against this nation does not look like a decision

01:21an intelligent Obama like you should make.

01:23People have been subjected to a degree of inhuman violation

01:28for which there is no other word but genocide.

01:31I believe very strongly that they have a right to seek an identity

01:35apart from their aggressors.

01:37You know, when I see you fighting each other

01:41and then the war does, fighting you and you fighting each other.

01:45You know what I see?

01:47I see this nation.

01:50Have you heard the story about the red ants and the black ants in the jar?

01:54You know, they're all going about their business, you know, doing their thing

01:58until someone shakes the jar.

02:01And then the ants, they start to fight each other.

02:04Now why the red and black ants are fighting is a secondary issue.

02:07The urgent question is, who shook the bloody jar?
