IGBO LAND ON FIRE, UMUADA IGBO ARE GETTING INVOLVED: GLOBAL EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY

Yesterday my wife gave me a certain look and I jumped back, then she showed me a post in her phone Whatsapp about Umuada Igbo.

Truly, Igbo man have failed our families and our communities. Look at Igbo Nation scattered and in tatters. There is killing everywhere! Yoruba too are looking for their freedom from One-Nigeria but is their land on fire? No! Because they do not have a mad man who from abroad commanded his fetish and f00lish gang to kill soldiers and police, deceiving them and thereby bringing the Fulani-govt’s military into Igbo land. So we are facing a whole basket of problems.
~ Fulani herdsmen abi Fulani terrorists
~ IPOB/ESN/UGM violence
~ Very poor internet network
~ Very poor roads
~ Very poor infrastructure
~ Very high food costs
~ POVERTY!

Now our women as Umuada Igba have come out to help our Igbo Nation, and their children.

Although the 1929 Aba Women's Protest (or Women's War) was not just Igbo women, there were also women from Ibibio, Andoni, Ogoni, Efik, and Ijaw, I take this information from Wikipedia:

The Women's War, or Aba Women's Protest, was a period of unrest in colonial Nigeria over November 1929. The protests broke out when thousands of Igbo women from the Bende District, Umuahia and other places in eastern Nigeria traveled to the town of Oloko to protest against the Warrant Chiefs, whom they accused of restricting the role of women in the government. The protest encompassed women from six ethnic groups (Igbo, Ibibio, Andoni, Ogoni, Efik, and Ijaw).

It was organised and led by the rural women of Owerri and Calabar provinces. The modus operandi of the protests involved 'sit-in' by the women. During the events, many Warrant Chiefs were forced to resign and 16 Native Courts were attacked, most of which were destroyed. It was the first major revolt by women in West Africa.

For more about the Women’s War, here is the link to Wikipedia source:

In 1929 our women revolted against injustice and oppression. The take away is that our women of South East and South South today can also protest what is happening right across our Region. The Umuada Igbo Global Emergency Assembly is therefore a very welcome development.

Any effort to stop the killings in igboland is welcome.
