Its true some died at the shocking blast of these canon's and some others at the trembles of its sounds. But somehow and luckily, even in the midst of excessive sustainance of casualties and as determination may have it, victor fell to their advantage. ‘A victor of sadness, a victor of unforgettable traumas’. No one still happens to get over the pictures of canon bombs, tearing an entire crew into bits. The war had come and gone and the men from Bonny sails for departure with three big canoes with which they sailed with their war spoils. Ahamefula’s group leading the line; being the first canoe in this lead, and carrier of most spoils and very few fighters. However, it became on this night of their return as people trooped out to witness their incoming that their songs and chants of war victor changed into chants and songs of war advance followed by a line switched-left by the later two canoes carrying most of the returning war men that the unimagined occurred and all hell got lose. An impending doom. Tension had began its grip-hold with young men scrambling for anything tool for pursuit in possible defence of the now suspected vulnerable, over a sensed dawn of savagery, whilst the women, young and old shouted above their voices to the other side waking and raising high voices of alert to the redmen on the other side of the beaches estuary, where they largely settle, away from the mosquito disturbed upper-body. Nonetheless, in all futility, to this west bank harbouring most foreign merchants, an unwarranted slaughter bred. One man running towards his gun and another –with a spear’ piercing through his back. Another running into his ship and getting hit by an arrow. This dark-night, the lands of people's further west, beginning from the new Kalabar, became their safe haven. It was a dark night and helplessly this took great effect. The following morning at sunrise, regarding the late nights barbarism, the beach had filled to peak with numerous numbers of people, young and old, including little children, many who had come from the generally-Igbo compounds of the village, situated further from the beach, whose fair numbers had enlarged since many years integration of numerous new members from the heartland -'to the ill trades victimization', had all come to witness firsthand what had transpired, while the old people and adults had besieged for prosecution in befallen faces of disgust on both the nights before savagery and now the aftermath effects on Bonny’s already unstable economy. Before time, like in a village square, the beach had quickly been turned into a jury place, where the old men and judges amongst them all sat on stools they had brought forthwith, following the incidents hearsay. And having now commenced, had carried along with questioning and listening to testimonies of all parties involved in these atrocity and their opposing witnesses, regarding the night-before, regardless of their own personal disdain of the perpetrators offence. 'They had lived in harmony with the reds and particularly the Portuguese, for very many years and amongst many are witnesses to the time when the popular Portuguese name ‘Bonny’ made its trend. However, excluding these old men and the incident witnesses, it was also crystal obvious the overwhelming majorities disgust, mindlessly they still opened for jury'. Nevertheless, the long proceeded jury hearing had since found difficulties in proceeding into judgement as it was a republic and both parties in the heat kept each other on push, all struggling to surpass the other with greater and more superior arguements. While in this, Ajukwu Oko; one of the war commanders in his arguement came countering a woman from the crowd. ‘Our people, innocent people were in cold blood killed by this people. This people's own kiths and kin, that, you were not around to witness. So tell me, since when did it become difficult of us in the distinguishment between justice and injustice, cause even in the midst of the redmen's own world and ships, both public and private of them all, justice remains constant; an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’. On Ajukwu’s pronouncement of the redmen, ships and ‘private’, Ahamefula had got upon him an immediate recall of a Dutch ship, a boy, his father and their crew, who he last traded with before his departure for Opobo. This boy is Stewart. |
IDENTIFY BELOW IF I SHOULD CONTINUE*** BOOK ONE In the steady and continuous approach of distant voices of men singing and approaching this “YET TO BE KNOWN” bight of a state west of the newly discovered dark continent, people were beginning to raise off their beds and out of their temporal trade tents to emerge this supposed intruders. It was midnight. Nobody knew nor believed these men were ever going to return least emerging victor. Thus; individuals and groups, trade partners and even this Igbo-village had at large beared grievances of their loss to Opobo. Now to this and in respond to the noise of continuous chants by these in-sailing men, people, both those at the beach residing and indigenes of that island began trooping out in mass to behold in this unrest, that undoubtfully, it is the one hundred men who marched into battle in Opobo when the Jaja called. It all began in Ubani; the popular Bonny, four weeks ago following a heavy in flood of battle dressed men who were said to had assembled in Obi-Igbo, alongside some important figures from Opobo, who they had come in with. This ‘important men of Opobo’, were said to had come with a confirming message from Jaja, the chief of Opobo, over the long rumoured news of the death of a very popular Awka merchant of note, who was shot dead by some Portuguese fort-keepers and afterwards, the reprisal attacks that it resulted to and overwhelming catastrophe that had since lived off it. The tragic demise of Nduka, ‘the merchant’ and his two servants of ‘year of last service’, happened in cause of rising tension between them and these Portuguese they had gone trading with. Nduka who came along with several other commodities, asides small tools bought along the Ndoki waterside markets through Imo river and other smith works brought already from Awka, had with him finely finished guns, exact replica of the Portuguese type he claimed to had gotten from a particular blacksmith in Awka. Their accusation condemned Nduka to either had stolen this arm's or probably kidnaped one of their officers to it's acquisition. Nduka’s rage to this had provoked the first shooter and following, his counterparts who had no other option but to self defence as the deceased servants, the two with whom he came with were already initiating a reprisal. In this manner, witnesses got over these men, mobbed them and set their forts razed. Ever since, about two Portuguese naval ships stationed in that world part had come in turns bombarding and turning Opobo into ruins, regardless, the Jaja's personality. Now, in turns of time, the Jaja's resistance having proved futile began his call for help from surrounding neighbours.These Opobo men and their volunteer counterparts also got into the islands with this plea of volunteering assistance from that bights part, seeking men in battle. 'It was on this note that Ahamefula; a man of his early thirties joined in line and came to have in his lifetime, a very first battle experience'. This Ahamefula’s condition is as a result of being from a particular Igbo set -the Aro's. 'Aro units, villages and towns are for them an only-inheritance and for others a refuge for all, place of God and confederate of all Aro inheritances, majorly inhabited and indigenalised by all Aro people, all facing the age old Arochukwu-Okike Abiama as its governing and spiritual capital. Here, Ahamefula hails from –Arochukwu'. Nevertheless, so many legends and adventures are told about the Aro’s in warfare and battles but less likely is told that until particular periods, the Aro’s themselves never fought their own wars. The trembling sounds of canon's had roared and heavy fire of automatic gun boats rained. Even Ahamefula had testified in this first time face to face with death, the many said things about the might of the reds. |

RUSSIA 1969 BY OTAH KELECHI lets make postmodern literature |
FINDING WHETHER IGBOS IN BRASS ISLAND BAYELSA ARE IMMIGRANTS OR ABORIGINAL's ONLY TO STUMBLE ON THIS. SUPRISING HOW ALL THE NOISE OF AN EASTERN IJO ONLY STARTS AND END AT NEMBE-BRASS. NO WONDER EVEN BORO NEVER CROSSED THIS LINE IN HIS ND, BUT TODAY JO'S ARE EXPANDING PAST BAYELSA. WHY? Up on fine research to discover whether the Igbo's in Bayelsa Islands are Trade migrants or Aboriginals, "sometimes we then get to learn that in the beginnings, the Islands where never yet formed at all". Now it becomes a case of who discovered which part first, just as Igbo's discovered Opobo West to Peterside's down. Only for propagandists to push a fictious reality, that all that was before the slave trade I'gbos, were anybody but Igbo that now becomes so shocking for everyone Ubani discovering this against the old trauma with which he's being forced to grow with.
