IGBO LANDING

For today post, I wan tell una small history tory wey connect yankee and Naija. I believe some of una neva hia dis tory before. Dis one na about sometin wey happen for one town wey dey for Georgia state. De place na Dunbar creek wey dey for St. Simon island.

I remember one time wey me and one akata been dey talk, afta I don tell am say I from Naija, him come ask me weda I don hia about de tory of IGBO LANDING. I tell am no. So de guy come begin tell me about am.

So de tory na about some igbo people wey onyibo bring come america around early 19th century. Just like dem don dey bring people by force come yankee, dis one no get anytin unusual about am, except say dis group of igbos do sometin wey none of de onyibo people expect.

Dem no rebel like some groups don do before, like to fight dos wey capture dem or try to run from. De tin wey dem do be wetin I go call ultimate courage. You must get enough liver to do wetin dem do!

All of dem from pikin, women and men been wait until de ship carry dem from West Africa come reach Georgia state for america. Afta dem land, all of dem come decide to march enter de ocean and come drown dem sef. With de chains wey dey dem hand and leg and neck, all of dem commit mass suicide.

Now when you come tink am, for igbo culture dem see suicide like one kind big taboo. Person wey kill im sef no dey get proper burial. But dis people get de mind do am. Dem realize say to stay alive for dis strange land go worse pass HELL FIRE. So dem discover say to kukuma end everytin go be dia best choice.

I know say some christians go say dis poeple go still end up for hell fire. And den you go begin wonda why ee be say na de same people wey carry christianity come give us, be de same people wey begin catch awa people to be dem slave. Shey na femi kuti sing am for song-you go wona wonda wona, until you go turn to wonderer! Me sef don begin wonda about dis christianity tin well.

Some people say if you go dat place for Georgia wey dis people comit de mass suicide, you go hia strange voices and de noise wey dey sound like chains. Well....., me I no believe too much for kpoju-kpoju tory, but I dey plan to go see de place with my eyes. Any time when I get small break I go like to travel go Georgia to see de place with my two eyes!!
