\"Araba\"
Hi Max,
My recollection of the military coup was the word \"araba\" ( slogan the hausas were shouting) in housa lingua franca meaning \" Division\".
Six years old boy caught in street riot in Kaduna. Though born in Lagos Island (campus square) had my primary education in kaduna.
The word \"araba\" ( still having nightmares with the word) was not mensioned in your article.
Many Igbo neighbours were burnt or beheaded that was gruesome and repugnant for six years old to experience.
The Hausas has a lot to anwser to regarding the atrocities they commited prior to the civil war.
Please Max Siollum release the next episode quickly as you\'ve wet our appetite.
Max who are you and where are you from?.
