You can argue with your keyboard An average Nigerian will talk down on Aba products and see them as inferior. Some smart business men now exports the products to Dubai and other countries. Nigerians now travel to those countries and buy them as luxuries. Until we begin to appreciate our efforts, mental slavery will always have serious toll on us. Let's talk about some materials, they are imported. These talented people craft them, create them to compete with other world renowned products. A typical black man feels inferior to himself. He seeks foreign validation. No self-trust. |

The Zikist Movement however, were influenced by this, to press further for independence. Go back to listen to Ọsadebe's song again: Ọnụigbo. Ndị a mere anyị arụ! |
At the end of their sporadic shooting on the protesters, 21 men were fired dead while 51 men where badly injured. The names of men who died include: Sunday Anyasodo, the hewer from Mbieri; Livinus Okechukwuma, the machine operator from Owerri; Okafor Ageni, an Udi man; Moses, the machine operator from Ụmụohoho; Simeon, the machine operator from Mbutu; Nnaji, the hewer from Ndibara Amaimo; Nwahu, the engine driver from Amuzi Bende and 15 others. They were kílled because they asked for their working conditions to be improved. |
About 1:30 pm, the police became angry, upon seeing the numbers and songs of solidarity. The captain ordered his men to shoot. The first person to be kílled was Sunday Anyasodo. He newly got married and came to Enugwu to live. He hailed from Mbieri, Owere. Captain Philip kílled him. Livinus Okechukwuma who was a machine operator from Ohi, Owere was kílled. An Udi man known as Okafọ heard what happened, came out to ask questions, he was shot on the spot. |
A British Superintendent of Police by name Captain F.S. Philip and other British officers plus 75 armed local policemen were instructed to remove the explosives as the chaos was getting momentum and this led to workers protesting and singing. Miners protested with red pieces of cloths. They used them on to their miners’ helmets, wrists, or knees, as a sign of solidarity. |

The colonists, however, introduced trade unions to stop workers uprising and ban the strikes. Everything changed when Okwudịlị Ojiyi— the man who was slapped by Mister T. Yates and he got the white man punished for that, campaigned for better working conditions. He was the General Secretary of the Colliery Worker's Union . |
But the ones removed were Obwetti mines. The real Iva Valley explosives were difficult to remove because workers had refused to assist them. Yes, workers did all the jobs. They did all the mining works, the colonists only instruct and command as bosses. |
Because their welfare was disregarded, the workers began to go on strike. As a result, the colonial guys sacked about 50 miners. The British management removed the explosives because they feared that the strike and protest could lead to Independence. |
This never changed the fact that workers were treated as slaves. The poor working condition was serious to an extent, the workers demanded for payment of rostering, payment of housing and traveling allowances which were trashed by the management. |
The workers experienced racism and physical abuse by the British managers. On September 2, 1945, a British national by name T. Yates slapped a worker, Mr. Okwudịlị Ojiyi who challenged the man and seek for redress. His actions got the British man penalized. |
It was on the 18th of November, 1949, about 21 coal miners were shot dead during the protest against the British colonial regime and the poor welfare and slavery of the coal miners. Iva Valley mines were built to replace the Udi Coal Mines. |
Was the skull mined? |
Now we are stucked at only oil as export You remember Chief Stephen Osita Ọsadebe's Song— Ọnụigbo? Now, let's discuss what led to that song. It's the kîlling of the coal miners by the British colonial government in Enugwu. The Iva Valley history. Read in details 👇
