The problem is that the massacre did not just end there, even in our own generation it still happens till date as long as we keep on seeking for freedom
@@AncientInsights1 I concur but as I stated earlier, it is the consequence of war. My grandpa was tortured by the Biafra soldiers and his big toe was cut off because he would not give up my father. Biafra soldiers killed my tribesmen in the creeks. So my friend it is the consequence of war.
They died bcos of one Nigeria, they came out to welcome the federal Troup singing one Nigeria and yet they were killed. There is nothing like one Nigeria, the same senerio happened at Lekki tool gate. Youths singing national anthem with Nigerian flag, yet the soldiers killed them.
lekki toll gate was nothing like massacre where two people died.. you can't compare what happened at the toll gate to what happened at Asaba.. There was nothing like massacre at lekki
History has a way of repeating itself or re-telling its old story. I am sure you remembered that it was the late Col. Taiwo, who was then a major, was the one who literally shot the people under the leadership of Col. Muritala Ramat Mohammed...the GOC 2-Division. Watch this: it was also alleged that the Son of major Taiwo who lost his life in a coupe d'etat as the Governor of Kwara State may have been the brigadier general who fired the shots at Lakki toll gate. Can you see History! People, please never get yourself involved in blood... no, no, no, because you may be too small to adequately handle the issues in the future. Blood is thicker than water.
The so called revenge for the role Nzeogwu played during the January 1966 must have been the senseless reason for the massacre. The traces of hatred between the Igbos and Hausas is still felt today. I am sorry but I feel no pity for Ibrahim Taiwo and Muritala Mohammed. What goes around comes around !!!
You are absolutely correct. No one has to answer for another person's atrocity. Muritala and Taiwo made a very big mistake killing innocent people. It was inhumane.
This is both revealing and upsetting at the same time Did Murtala order this massacre or did he turn a blind eye Either way he definitely had blood on his hands and I can understand Igbo resentment towards him
@@Relevance4life which NigerDeltan did Ojukwu killed for being neutral? The war didn't get to Urhobo or Itsekri or Isoko The Ijaw areas of Nembe, Kolokuma Opokuma where the route the Federal troop entered from, despite being a road in, they killed and maimed If Asaba Massacre wasn't captured with some escaping, Olukanmi would have tagged it on Ojukwu.... Though the sad event happened but painful there are witnesses so you can't rewrite history as your people do
I knew Dr Ify Uriah as a director in a milk-producing company in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. So sad to know that he and other families were victims of this traumatic happenings in Asaba.
Also Colonel Joe Achuzia a Biafran army commander who destroys Nigerian troops and their war equipment under Murtala Mohammed Command at Abagana was from Asaba. Could that be the reason for Murtala Mohammed to massacre Asaba people?
Please stop the lies,the Asaba massacre happened WAY before the abagana skirmish.please stop the lies and excusing the Nigerian Army of their genocide against innocent Asaba civilians.this is vile and deplorable.
And the main reason was revenge for the assassination of the Saurdana and tafewa balewa by the Nzeogwu coup,Muritala was led this atrocious action was also assassinated by Dimka in 1976.
The same delta state/Asaba indigenes are using igbo language to say they are not Biafrans... they are aligning with the same Hausa Fulani that killed their people
This account didn't capture everything about the Asaba massacre. The main massacre was when the military lured the indigenous to come and welcome the military leadership. And the people were willing so long the front line has come past them. There were no more fears because the town had been captured. It was a peace time, supposedly. They came out in their numbers, the military separated the indigenous men from the women and children, and had them shot. This is how it has been told, written, and shared with the population over the years.
This is bad, be you isoko, urhobo, agbor or anywhere from delta state, we are all biafrans and so is the truth. We have the major resource yet we continue to suffer. Go to bayelsa and see what's going on. Using our resources to build lagos
Col. Muritala Mohammed and Major Ibrahim Taiwo should have been tried posthumously for war crimes. The same thing should be done to Youths of Itshekiri, Urhobos , Ijaws etc where killed by Biafran soldiers because they opposed the occupation of the Mid-West Region by Biafra and imposition of an Igbo Biafra officer as Administrator of the Region by General Ojukwu Emeka of Biafra Republic (Defunct).

This fool is pronouncing blessings on Nigeria soldiers for evil they did in Asaba. You people formed Boko Haram and bandit against Igbos, now your Boko Haram is also killing you, the other day, 8 persons were killed in the mosque. Glory be to God.
Vandals . After all these, they were not good fighters, happier they are killing unarmed civilians.God saved the rest of Nigerians by the incident of Feb 13.
This is one sided story, it is true that a lot of people were killed in Asaba you failed to mention the numbers of Nigeria troops who lost their life there mainly because some of the people there were collaborating with the Biafra soldiers when Nigeria soldiers got into Asaba. War is bad for everyone and we should do our best to avoid it.
😂😂😂😂.... You see why hatred makes people sound stupid when they defend their hate? You justify soldiers killing of unarmed civilians by pointing out that those soldiers were killed by other soldiers. Funny.
If Haruna admitted on the stand for giving the orders to massacre civilians, why wasn't he charged for war crimes? I'm not sure which is worse Haruna the war criminal's unapologetic stance or the idiots in agbada applauding him...pathetic!
Karma!!!The good Book says "who so sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed..." God Himself avenged d hapless children and civilian men of Asaba. How, d 2nd division suffered d highest casualty in d hands of f Biafrans when their arrogant commander disobeyed Army hqs and insisted on crossing d niger to attack Onitsha in open boats...as sitting ducks for Biafran infantry. After losing so many soldiers and still managing to capture Onitsha, they went a looting and got busted by Col. Achuzie's battalion. Then d long march to along d Niger to descend on Onitsha from Enugu axis. That's when d mother of all Karma on d 2nd div occured...d Abagana massacre of more than 200 weapons and soldier full war vehicles...!!! I am from Gombe but let's call a spade a spade. The Asaba massacre was totally uncalled for...
Thanks for standing for the truth. It’s highly uncalled for. Too many senseless killings have happened in this country, I pray we start learning from History to avoid repetition of such.
Is really a pity, but the reason for the massacered , is that the asaba people were d ones dat led to the death of many army officers BCos they serves as spy to Biafran troops, they used to show d nigérian army whereabout to Biafrans, later d army were upseted and start killing d citizens of asaba
One thing that's paining me today is that some people from asaba are busy denying to be part of Igbos after witnessing the wickedness of been one Nigeria,," but for me"after all the war never ended, the death of our people shall be avenged
I am from delta state. From Asaba to Agbor we are all Biafrans , never give up
The problem is that the massacre did not just end there, even in our own generation it still happens till date as long as we keep on seeking for freedom
Those who took part in this massacre would certainly know no peace
It was the consequence of war my friend. It was really sad but unfortunately it is what it is.

I couldn't agree more with you.
That is why war is not good for anyone except for the ammunition salers
There was no moral justification for killing innocent and unarmed people.
Gen. Yakubu Gowon should have ordered the soldiers to stop the massacre.
Gowon was a coward and toy, he barely knew what was happening in Asaba
