What happen in nigeria b4 the 1960s war is happening again in kano
great massacre took place in kano last week and it has began again today as am writing this at the airport near the 5th Battalion's home city of Kano. Last week a Lagos-bound jet arrived from London, and as the Kano passengers were escorted into the customs shed, a wild-eyed soldier stormed in, brandishing a rifle and demanding "Ina Nyammari?"—Hausa for "Where are the damned Ibos?" There were Ibos among the customs officials, and they dropped their chalk and fled, only to be shot down in the main terminal by other soldiers. Screaming the blood curses of a Moslem holy war, the Hausa troops turned the airport into a shambles, bayoneting Ibo workers in the bar, gunning them down in the corridors, and hauling Ibo passengers off the plane to be lined up and shot.
From the airport, the troops fanned out through downtown Kano, hunting down Ibos in bars, hotels and on the streets. One contingent drove their Land Rovers to the railroad station, where more than 100 Ibos were waiting for a train, and cut them down with automatic-weapons fire.
The soldiers did not have to do all the killing. They were soon joined by thousands of Hausa civilians, who rampaged through the city armed with stones, cutlasses, machetes, and homemade weapons of metal and broken glass. Crying "Heathen!" and "Allah!", the mobs and troops invaded the sabon gari (strangers' quarter), ransacking, looting and burning Ibo homes and stores and murdering their owners.
Garbage Trucks. All night long and into the morning the massacre went on. Then, tired but fulfilled, the Hausas drifted back to their homes and bar racks to get some breakfast and sleep. Municipal garbage trucks were sent out to collect the dead and dump them into mass graves outside the city. The death toll will never be known, but it was at least 1,000.
Somehow, several thousand Ibos survived the orgy, and all had the same thought: to get out of the North. Many were packed onto a Southbound train. The management of large companies operating in Kano chartered every available plane. All told, 1,400 Ibos were flown out of Kano alone last week.
One officer of the 5th dismissed the whole thing as a prank, but there was no assurance that it would not happen again. When a government representative promised a tense meeting of the Kano Chamber of Commerce that all was under control, he was hooted down. "Assurances are no longer any good," retorted one local business leader.
oh my GOd my uncle is in Sabon geri KANo i pray that this will not affect him but when all this will end we are one nigeria but there are a lots of hatred amoung us even we that are in a foriegn land no one have ever threat us this not to talk about when u are in ur country home u are been threat like a slave i think the best way ibos should live that hausa state for then to live there alone live is more important than wealth .if since this mess have start happening that igbos left hausa state for good i guess by now the wolud have get over it ... the problem we igbos have is this we love money soo that we ready to lose our life for it i pray that all this will stop in JESUS name amen
