DomPerignon:



I have no sympathy for Delta north despite all the rubbish they did in 1967 leading to the occupation of old Bendel.

There was and remains concetious efforts to forgive the sins of the Delta Ibos who aligned with Enugu against their fraternal brothers in old Bendel .

But it seems this is lost on this current generation who have benefitted than the other tribes who contribute more to Delta wealth by having the capital of Delta sited in Asaba courtesy of Maryam Babangida's influence.

Since they will rather sell their patrimonial heritage in the form of lands to you guys who are now turning around and claiming you now own Asaba , I can not blame you but the myopic idiots in Asaba .

It is this wedge you want to use to claim the entire Delta but just like in 1967 , you will run back across the Niger

Besides, the so-called Asaba massacre never happened.

Those killed were collaborators and biafran deserters and POWs rounded up by Murtala and summarily executed.

You do know that any enemy combatant who ditches his uniform is no longer covered by the Geneva convention and in war time civilian collaborators of enemy invaders are treated as spies and executed on the spot.

So, add this contribution of the so-called Asaba massacre from me , that Murtala's decision to execute turncoats,traitors and biafran deserters was in line with the Geneva convention.

To give you an example :.
Below is the pic of a South Vietnamese officer executing a captured North Vietnamese officer who ditches his uniform after the failed Tet Offensive.

The ICC ruled that no war crime was committed as the north Vietnamese officer did not identify himself as an enemy combatant after ditching his uniform.

The same north Vietnamese officer had killed several civilians as he tried to make an escape.

Stop embarrassing your self due to lack of knowledge of the law. All summarily execution are crimes. If you have captured an enemy combatant, wether in uniform or out of uniform, and you execute them, it is against the Geneva convention and a war crime.


Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.
