His name, David Obinnaya Anyaele, 38, from Igbere, Bende Local Government Area of Abia State! David is a victim of Charles Taylor's Liberia madhouse - he had both his hands forcibly cut-off at the wrist, by Charles Taylor's gumbahs! In other words, David is a Charles Taylor's amputee! David is also a victim of the brazing discrimination against the Igbos of Nigeria by every successive Nigerian governments, each acting in concert with one another, ever since the end of the civil war in 1970. Their objective, to asphyxiate the Igbo nation! This is the single biggest factor driving the massive Igbo-exodus out of Nigeria; - a people now dispersed all over the world, in their desperate effort to survive Nigerian governments conspiracy to strangulate their race, economically. David succeeded in finding his way to Liberia during the infamous reign of terror of Charles Taylor; but lo and behold, his, was the proverbial case of from the frying pan into the fire! But does Icheoku blame this "Biafran at heart" for the fate which befell him in Liberia? No, as we strongly believe in the saying, get somewhere in life or die trying! David was only unfortunate to have lost his limbs in his quest, but he still remains "nwa-afoo! According to his narrative, there was an instruction from Charles Taylor to his boys, to kill and/or maim every Nigerian seen anywhere in Liberia. This, in his warped mind, will teach Nigerians a hard-lesson on how not to dabble into the internal affairs of other nations. However, Icheoku could not independently verify this alleged Taylor's instruction and so, you are to it with some advisement. Continuing, David said, on January 19, 1999 he and other Nigerian-residents in Monrovia received a surprise visit from a gang of gun-totting youthful-rascals; death-messengers of Charles Taylor. David tried to run, but was stopped by one of the boys who gave an order to shoot him. However he was countered by another who would rather he was sent to the Nigerian government in Abuja as an emissary to convey their demand that ECOMOG soldiers should stop attacking them. They later agreed to cut off his hands as an effective propaganda-tool of their seriousness; and this was the story of how David Obinnaya Anyaele lost his two hands.
David said he miraculously found himself at a United Nations Observation post where he received first-aid before his evacuation to a safer place somewhere in Monrovia. After his stabilization, he was airlifted on February 3, 1999, to a military hospital in Nigeria, where he remained until he was discharged on August 30, 1999 for further rehabilitation. Thereafter David met with the then Minister of Health under Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr.Tim Menakaya, who promised in 2000 to rehabilitate him; but eight years thereafter, the promise, is still on the Nigeria's government's awaiting list?
David needs assistance to help procure his artificial limbs from a German hospital to enable him fully get back to his life. His prescribed prosthetics will cost 35,000 euros and he will also need flight tickets to travel to Germany to have them fitted; accommodation and other sundry/miscellaneous expenses while in Germany will further add to the tab. Presently, David is barely scrapping by to provide for his family, but would like to get his "mojo" back, to once again, start taking real care of his business instead of being wholly dependent on third parties for even his most intimate privacy! Icheoku says, David or anyone who knows him should contact us to see how we can assist in his come-back efforts.

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.

ReplyDeletein as much as i sympathise with the igbo people of nigeria-have lots of igbo friends,had my NYSC in enugu state and wished an igbo man rules Nigeria someday-i beg to differ on your take about the government's institutional neglect of the igbo people of nigeria.that is largely not true.if David is still on the governemnt's waiting list,don't you think the then health minister,Dr Menakaya,an igbo just like David is the reason?
