VIDEO-IGBO LANDING 2023: PRINCE ONUOHA MAKES INVOCATIONS AT DUNBAR CREEK

As part of celebrations to commemorate this year’s anniversary of Igbo Landing, the Council of Igbo States in America (CISA) visited Dunbar Creek, Georgia, United States where the Igbo Landing took place in 1803.

In August,1803, about 75 Igbo slaves seized the ship that brought them from Africa to the New World. Holding hands and singing, they all marched back into the ocean waters and got drowned, rather than live in slavery.

During the commemorative event organized by CISA at the site of the historically heroic that occured 220 years ago, Prince Chijioke Chinedum Onuoha, of Ibeku -Umuahia kingdom, Abia State made invocations with kolanut, thanking the departed Igbo ancestors for their uncommon sacrifice and praying that that shall mark the end of Igbo travails.
