A Walk to Remember in November.
66yrs ago, precisely on the 18th of November 1949, 21 Coal Miners were massacred by the British Policemen led by Captain F.S. Philip (SSP). The Miners were protesting deplorable working conditions and simply asked for improvements. The British didn’t see them as protesting workers but rather as slavers and savages that deserves nothing more than what is given to them.
William Nwahu, Sunday Anyasodo, Levinus Okechukwuma, Okafor Ageni and 17 others who became the first martyrs of our Nationhood have since become unsung heroes leaving history to have a repeat. On Saturday 21st November 2015, A Memorial Walk will hold in honor of them who gave their lives so that a Nation shall stand. Their colleagues will lead the walk to show people what was and what we have neglected.
The Walk will start from the National Museum of Unity Enugu, to Asata Coal Compound, and end at Iva Valley Coal Compound. As you take part in this Walk, one question that should be on your mind is “What happened to the Coal”?
