Notes on depravity, responses, contrasts
Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe
1. Sunday 12 June
2016 Chronicle of bursts, booms,
flashes, murders: islamist terrorist outrage in the United States ravages night
club in Orlando, Florida, beginning at about 2am, Sunday 12 June 2016,
murdering 49 clubgoers and wounding scores and scores and scores – several
critically…
Paraphernalia of US
state response to tragedy: police, including special forces, is deployed right
away to aid and save stricken citizens, battling the source of the terror ferociously
until eliminated; continuing stretch of medical services and support made
available to victims; retinue of state officials including state president,
regional governor, regional attorney-general or chief law enforcement officer,
town’s mayor, intelligence and security forces’ apparatus key representatives
and leading candidates of ongoing presidential campaign rush to their
microphones condemning outrage, reassuring citizens and vowing to bring
retribution on the vector/agency of the terrorism; international revulsion
abound with tweets and voice comments alike from many a leader and a range of
public officials and personalities; continuing, comprehensive coverage by
domestic and international media
2. Monday 30 May 2016 Chronicle of bursts, booms, flashes, murders:
islamist terrorist Nigeria state outrage ravages worshippers
attending mass on the grounds of St Edmund’s Church, Nkpo, near Onicha, Biafra
(a country that has been under occupation by Nigeria since 13 January 1970), beginning
at 3am, and later continues its free-fire assault on Biafra Heroes Day/Independence
Day celebrants in the greater Onicha district and on the bridge over the Oshimili
River and across the bridge into Asaba twin-city, Biafra, slaughtering a total
of 120 Biafrans and wounding scores and scores and scores – several critically…
In the meantime, the terrorists return to some hospitals in Onicha and environs
treating survivors of the massacre and wrench these (survivors) off their beds/theatre
wards and load them up on trucks and drive away to “unknown destinations” …
These survivors haven’t been seen since and are very unlikely to ever be found
alive…
Paraphernalia of
genocidist Nigeria state response to this act of genocide of its very own premeditated
creation: defiance, defiance, more slaughtering of Igbo, more slaughtering of
Igbo planned; response from the rest of the world including especially leaders
such as David Cameron and Barack Obama who imposed islamist Muhammadu Buhari as
head of regime in Nigeria in March 2015 but who have duly condemned the Orlando
terror slaying: silence, haunting silence, deafening silence … No reporting of
the Onicha slaughtering from the international media nor church, not even from the
Anglican church to which millions of Igbo in this west region of Biafra belong
… Why has there been the “aching silence” on this ongoing genocide from Lambeth
Palace, for instance? Is the Archbishop of Canterbury not aware that Igbo
people are been “gunned down” by genocidist Nigeria – to quote a phrase from
the well-publicised Amnesty International report on the genocide published in
London on 10 June 2016? When will the Archbishop of Canterbury condemn the slaughtering
of Igbo people?
3. Monday 25 April 2016 Chronicle of bursts, booms, flashes, murders:
islamist terrorist Nigeria state outrage ravages Uzo-Uwani,
north Biafra, beginning shortly after 4am, slaughtering 200 Biafran children,
women and men asleep in their beds and wounding scores
and scores and scores – several critically…

4. Wednesday 9 February
2016 Chronicle of bursts, booms,
flashes, murders: islamist terrorist Nigeria state outrage ravages Aba,
southeast Biafra, beginning shortly after 6.30am, slaughtering 22
Biafrans gathered for morning prayers at the National High School for the release

of Biafra illegally detained currently by the Nigerian regime), and wounding scores and scores and scores – several critically…

As this phase-IV of the Igbo genocide (earlier
on during phases I-III, 29 May 1966-12 January 1970, Nigeria and strategic ally Britain
murdered 3.1 million Igbo or one-quarter of the nation’s population in this
foundational genocide of post-European[conquest] Africa) demonstrates most
appositely in our age of “instant information”/“instant communication”, nowhere
else on earth, in 2016, are any peoples murdered so monstrously with scant
responses of revulsion from the rest of the world particularly from the key chanceries
of those chiefly responsible for propping up this desperately fiendish Nigeria
islamist genocidist regime emplaced in southwestcentral Africa.
