Igbo Landing 2003: Igbo Nation Honors Early Igbo Heroes in America 'The water brought us; the water will take us away.' That was the defiant chant of 13 Igbo heroes who preferred death to slavery in America. Led by the brave and immortal warrior Oba, neither their captors' threats nor guns could stop these proud and unconquerable Igbo patriots- men, women and children- from returning to the land of their ancestors, as they defiantly kept walking deeper and deeper together until they sank into the murky waters of Dunbars Creek of St Simons Island in Georgia.

While her supporters in the reform movement were clearly delighted, hardliners who don't share her liberal views were not pleased to see the outside world honouring someone they regard as a dissident. There was little coverage of the award in the state media. Most of the official media are regarded as strongholds of the conservative hardliners.
