“When I remember the struggle water, runaway me (my) eyes”. Your struggle and death is the reason I am still alive, Adieu. We Must not forget those that gave all, including their lives.
1] For the over 3.5million people killed in just 30 months, 1.9million of them were kids who were starved to death and others that the Federal troops bombed their food and drug stores. I remember you today.
2] For the 7,692 of our officers in the Nigerian army butchered by even their bosom friends in 1966 as a reprisal of what they branded as an Igbo coup. History has vindicated you, the coup was never an Igbo coup, but the envy of your success was their motivational factor.
3] I also remember the over 800 officers killed on the day and after Gen Aguyi Ironsi was murdered by T Y Danjuma. We will never forget this as time refused to heal the wound.
4] I remember the over 200,000 mothers that choose to go without food in other to save their starving and sick children. You are the real Heroine of our time.
5] I remember the over 44,000 Easterner killed in various trains stations and bus park trying to escape the massacre in the North.
6] For the 380 Pregnant women, whom their tummies were were ripped open by Nigerian soldiers and their unborn babies used as football. This is your day.
7] For about 39 Northerners who were killed trying to protect their Igbo friends, heaven is the best place for your good souls. I remember you all today.
8] For over 2,700 killed during the mop-up exercises and house-to-house search for Igbos in some cities in the West and Mid West, your fears, cry and gruesome murder is why we have today.
9] For the over 500 young men in Asaba killed by Ibrahim Haruna when they were tricked to come out to celebrate the liberation of their villages. They were summarily executed while women and children were forced to watch. You will never be forgotten.
10] For over 33,000 young girls used as sex slaves by the Federal troops, majority of them gruesomely raped to death and some ‘lucky’ one forced to marry officers.
11] Specially remembered today are the 71 Missionaries, Relief and Aide workers, Volunteer Doctors and Nurses that lost their lives in some of the deliberate bombing on health and food storage facilities. They were aware of the danger of assisting in a war torn environment yet decided to come over to Biafran homeland to save lives. This day is for you.
