This is very wrong. The soldiers would have handed them to the police for persecution than humiliating them in this manner. This is how some corrupt soldiers and corrupt police men, force offenders into criminality; the offenders go into crime and delivers the money they make to this corrupt soldiers and police men. Offenders that are bold would report such corrupt soldiers and corrupt Police men to the authorities while those who are weak remain scared of this corrupt security agencies and refused to report them, there by remaining the slaves to this corrupt soldiers and corrupt police. |

Five weeks after its secession from Nigeria, the breakaway Republic of Biafra is attacked by Nigerian government forces. In 1960, Nigeria gained independence from Britain. Six years later, the Muslim Hausas in northern Nigeria began massacring the Christian Igbos in the region, prompting tens of thousands of Igbos to flee to the east, where their people were the dominant ethnic group. The Igbos doubted that Nigeria’s oppressive military government would allow them to develop, or even survive, so on May 30, 1967, Lieutenant Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu and other non-Igbo representatives of the area established the Republic of Biafra, comprising several states of Nigeria. After diplomatic efforts by Nigeria failed to reunite the country, war between Nigeria and Biafra broke out in July 1967. Ojukwu’s forces made some initial advances, but Nigeria’s superior military strength gradually reduced Biafran territory. The state lost its oil fields–its main source of revenue–and without the funds to import food, an estimated one million of its civilians died as a result of severe malnutrition. On January 11, 1970, Nigerian forces captured the provincial capital of Owerri, one of the last Biafran strongholds, and Ojukwu was forced to flee to the Ivory Coast. Four days later, Biafra surrendered to Nigeria. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/civil-war-in-nigeria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxptTaAF5mY |
One terrible aspect of the Asaba massacre is not only that it actually occurred, but that 53 years after that grim and despicable flaunting of the worst of the human spirit anywhere, Nigeria does not recognise it as a national tragedy. Thus, every 7th of October, only the people of Asaba commemorate that gruesome mass murder, which meets all definitions of GENOCIDE. The Encyclopaedia Britannica defines genocide as “the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race. The term, derived from the Greek genos (“race,” “tribe,” or “nation”) and the Latin cide (“killing”), was coined by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-born jurist who served as an adviser to the U.S. Department of War during World War II. The term was coined in 1943 by the Jewish-Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin who combined the Greek word “genos” (race or tribe) with the Latin word “cide” (to kill). That such an unprovoked gruesome mass murder of hundreds of people took place at Asaba, is not in question anymore. What really happened that October 1967? As Emmanuel Andrew Chukwuedo Nwanze, BSc. MSc. Ph.D. DIS, Professor of Neurobiochemistry and former Vice-Chancellor, University of Benin said in a lecture: “Asaba people came out from their homes and places of other engagements in response to a call to come out and welcome and receive the conquering Federal troops. When the troops requested them to separate into groups of males and females, they naively complied, never having ever witnessed such an event before. The men were marched away to the more secluded axis of Ogbe Osowe- Ilo-Umuaji-Ogbe Ilo. When the guns started blazing it was too late to escape. The staccato over, only the groans of those on the throes of death could be heard with blood flowing freely: indeed ‘blood on the Niger’. The few alive or not completely dead who had been clobbered to the ground by the falling dead could be heard calling on the soldiers to come on and finish the job. Hence the weak cries of “See me, I never die o” Mr. Chiedu “Cassy” Juwah was about ten years old then. He recalled that “People were dancing in a welcome party at OgbeIlo field. Then soldiers stopped the music and a grim business began. That was how Asaba became a town of landladies. My cousin who had survived the pogrom at Kano, his dad and two elder brothers, were shot. I hid and returned home. The following day, 7th, we were rounded up and shepherded to Oma, opposite today’s Grand Hotel, That’s where we were separated. At Ogbe Osowe, the men were separated from the boys and the women, and I, a boy, joined the women in going to the Convent, now St. John Bosco’s Church at Nnebisi Rd, and Ogbe Osowe became a killing field. My brother, Augustine Juwah, who passed out of St. Anthony’s College in 1964, pretended to be dead and hid among dead bodies there as a machine gun belched fire and death. By 8.pm he made his way home and we started our flight; first to Achala, and from there to Ubulu-Uku. Some people returned home days later and were still killed in the house-to-house combing by the military.” The Federal troops thundered into Asaba on the 5th. The Biafrans had melted away as the immediate commander, the late Col. Joe Achizia (a son of Asaba), opted to retreat to Onitsha as a lorry load of cutlass was all he was given to defend Asaba with. He blew up the Niger Bridge. Then, the indiscriminate killing started. It turned horrendous on the 6th and became hellish on the 7th. About 1, 000 persons died in Asaba in those gruesome three days. Yet, more died later as the town’s folks fled into the bush, trying to escape to the nearby towns and villages. Many were caught outside the town while escaping and were decimated, others died from hunger and unhealed wounds inside the bush. In fact, the killing spilled into Ogwashi-Uku, and several other towns in the Anioma Delta North Senatorial District. In Ishiagwu, a coastal village to which Biafrans would travel to from around Oguta to buy food stuff, having crossed the lordly River Niger by canoe, the Federal troops visited one night and simply killed 400 people who failed to escape and burnt down the village – even as a General Cyril Iweze, a son of Ishiagwu, was fighting on the Federal side. Ibusa suffered genocide and the entire surviving population fled into the bush. As late into the war as 1969, the killings were still on. A Benin-City based medical Doctor, Patrick Anyafulu said: In 1969, a company of Federal troops was ambushed and decimated by Biafran troops on the road leading to Asaba from Oko. That incident brought the horrors of war to my sleepy, rustic village. The whole village was razed to the ground. We escaped death through Providence…a heavy rainstorm the previous night delayed their advance from Asaba, and fishermen who had gone to check their nets saw them and alerted the whole village. Shells were already landing in the village and the air was filled with the whine of bullets. We escaped into the forest and lived there until 1970!” So, why has the Federal Government, which has recently acknowledged the evil inherent in denying the late MKO Abiola his June 1993 electoral victory, refused to even recognise the atrocity committed against Asaba and other Anioma towns? As hard as that insult upon injury is difficult to swallow, it is pertinent to remember that for years the Asaba massacre was a totally hushed up topic. A London Times correspondent, Bill Norris, who passed through Asaba in mid-October 1967, sent back photos of hellish destruction there and noted that the town appeared to be largely abandoned. But he said nothing about the genocide. He explained in a 2012 interview that he did not know about the massacre. The first mention of mass killing in Asaba appeared in the London Observer, almost four months later, when Africa correspondent Colin Legum conûrmed that Federal troops took part in the killing. However, his (second-hand) account claimed that a group of ‘implacably hostile’ Igbo attacked troops by surprise as they watched the welcome dance, leading to retaliation. Even both pro-Biafra and pro-Nigeria writers of book on the Civil War left the Asaba massacre well alone. The Nigerian Army made no attempt during or after the Civil War, to investigate the Asaba Massacre. Yet, The London Observer commented on it on 21 January 1968, Le Monde, the French evening newspaper, wrote about it on April 5, 1968, LOOK, the British magazine, did same and even a Canadian Member of Parliament, who served as the UN Observer, Stephen Lewis, was mentioned in the London Observer on October 11, 1968. Yet, the then Nigerian High Commissioner to Britain, Brig. B. O. Ogundipe called the reports “wild rumours”. The Times of London reported in 1968 that Biafran propaganda had instilled fear of federal soldiers in Igbo people, but these fears were unfounded. A year later, the Times reported that an international observer team had “been unable to ûnd one single trace of mass killings of Ibos”. An Asaba indigene, Sylvester Okocha, then senior civil servant in Benin, wrote to the International Committee of the Red Cross describing what had just happened. His letter was intercepted by the military, he was arrested, tortured and incarcerated in Lagos. Now, the truth is out…and it is horrendous. There are only two choices left for Nigeria: to keep ignoring this sordid fact and allow the sore to fester and become food for agents of national disunity or address it so that healing can begin. Yet, the silence has really ended, what continues is national self-deception. An Asaba indigene, and journalist, Emma Okocha published the book Blood on the Niger in 1994 (his father was a victim of that massacre). It lifted the lid off that story and has remained a condemnation on the government’s official silence on the Asaba massacre – that terrible blot on Nigeria’s history. vanguardngr.com https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/10/asaba-massacre-terrible-blot-on-nigerias-history/

DaddyFabooluz: you are talking rubbish, I can now see that you are a dullard that was born without a brain.Close that your smelly mouth, before the bad odour from your gutter mouth will harm you. You are talking nonsense and your envy towards the release of nnamdi kanu from detention have been revealed. My advice to you is get common sense and think before you speak, so you would not advertise your ignorance. Pig |
It is no longer news that Nnamdi kanu would soon be released from detention due to his illness in detention. The United Nations have called upon the Nigeria government to release Nnamdi Kanu from detention because he was not legally brought back to Nigeria from Kenya. The governor of Benue State Mr. Samuel Ortom have also called for the immediately release of Nnamdi kanu from detention, including concerns Nigerians because they know the consequences if should any harm before Nnamdi kanu. The Nigeria government is still deliberating on how to release Nnamdi Kanu from detention, following the orders from United Nations. The lawyer of Nnamdi Kanu have raised alarm publicly following the deteriorating health of the leader of Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) The lawyer to Nnamdi Kanu is calling for the bail of Nnamdi kanu from DSS detention soonest, so he can go for proper medical treatment. Nnamdi Kanu is been called a lucky man from the eastern region of Nigeria by Nigerians because Nigerians see him as a strong freedom fighter who have escape so many assassination on his life and was able to overcome betrayals both from within and outside. Most Nigerians are hopeful that before 29th October 2022, Nnamdi kanu will be granted bail on health reasons, and will be compensated for his violated fundamental human right from Kenya as a dual citizenship of United kingdom and Nigeria. Most Nigerians that hate injustice and inequity believe that wherever Nnamdi kanu might be now, he will be laughing at his enemies. |
abobote:PDP wants some one who can deliver 2023 and that person is anyim Pius anyim because he is capable and sensible to help PDP to win the 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria.

Mirabella00:Correct |
Anyim Pius Anyim is a man of courage, boldness and eloquent speaker who is ready to take People Democratic Party to the next level of winning the 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria for PDP. This is one of the reasons why some members of wike team believe anyim Pius anyim is the choosen one for the replacement of Ayu who will soon become the former National Chairman Of People Democratic Party in Nigeria. Anyim Pius anyim has always been ready for this day, the day he anyim Pius anyim will be the National Chairman Of PDP. Even though atiku team just recently gave anyim Pius anyim a post in Atiku campaign team, anyim Pius anyim will still accept the offer from wike team to replace Ayu. Anyim Pius anyim is capable and sensible and with his political capacity experience as former Senate President of Nigeria and former secretary to the President of Nigeria can help PDP to win the 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria, if choosen to replace Ayu. Due to the wisdom of anyim Pius anyim, made atiku team to rush him and appoint him as one of atiku campaign advisers; never the less anyim Pius anyim would still accept wike team offer to become the next PDP National Chairman. Anyim Pius anyim is the choosen one.
