AHABA AWAKE....UJOM DEMAND JUSTICE

Man’s capacity for justice makes Democracy Possible, but Man’s Inclination to INJUSTICE makes Democracy NECESSARY…Reinhold Nie-Uhir

The Federal Troops murdered Innocent men, women and children in their thousands at Asaba. Asaba lost in few months university graduates, PhD holders… among them were Permanent secretaries, medical doctors, lawyers, teachers, professionals, clergy men and missionaries. It remains the only war and genocide of such magnitude without a monument of remembrance………United Nations Observer, Canadian M.P, Stephen Lewis, London Guardian, October 11, 1968.

The Federal Troops assumed that the people of Asaba were Igbos and gave support to OPERATION TOUCH…. The people of Asaba suffered more than any other southern tribe in terms of human and material losses. Chief Tayo Akpati, former secretary, petroleum trust fund, The Guardian, July 17, 1997.

Benin was the capital of the mid-western states with a high concentration of Asaba-born technocrats, bureaucrats, and professionals who met their untimely end at the hands of federal troops and other accomplices……there appeared a fleeting period of lunacy in which mid-westerners gladly identified Ahaba people to be shot down by federal troops on the so called liberation day in Benin…. It was the first Black On Black genocide in post independence Africa. Midwest Solicitor General, Giwa Amu, The Nigerian Obsrever, March 16, 1983.

The civil war was one of the worst and under reported event in Nigerian History, thanks to the “PATRIOTISM” of the Nigerian Journalists…..the result of the massacres… for most part were not to happen since there was a political consensus between the press and the politicians led by Chief Anthony Enahoro….a man who was part of both, He was the Nigerian war time minister of information. Lewis Obi, African Concord, Cover Story, The Asaba Massacre, August 4, 1997

The Ahaba Man became the most vulnerable Nigerian…. It required ten positive acts of loyalty to one of the rest of the nation to prove themselves human being. Ever since the Mid-western invasion, they (Ahaba People) had been hounded, killed and considered the greatest security risks than the rest Igbos. Noble Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, The Man Died.
