EKWE NCHE ORGANIZATION : EBO LANDING

There is not a rnonument or marker, most locals know the location of “Ebo Landing.” It’s along the bluffs of Dunbar Creek behind the waste water treatment plant on St. Simons Island. Many have also read accounts of the tragic event that occurred there in May, 1803 in books of Island history, lore and legend.

But now the story of the Igbo slaves who drowned themselves rather than face a life of slavery is gaining worldwide attention. And today they symbolically represent millions of Igbos in their homeland of Nigeria who are still not free. (Ebo is the English word for the Igbo people of West Africa and is pronounced the same.)

Boko Haram threatens to attack A’Ibom  

  

The Akwa Ibom State Government said it had received text messages from the Boko Haram terrorist group threatening to attack public places in the state.

A statement issued on Friday evening by the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mr. Aniekan Umanah, said the public places targeted include churches, markets and schools, among others.

Umanah advised members of the public to be security conscious and be extra-vigilant by reporting suspicious movements to security personnel for immediate action.

He assured residents of their safety, saying government had directed security agencies to step up surveillance to prevent likely attack on the state.
