Do not loose faith in humanity.... Help even the tiniest most insignificant being, whenever, however you can... That is our own little way of being super heroes... Do not let an opportunity to help slip by when you know you can help 5 Likes

Sile12: I respect this thread with profound respect but I hate to see lies being rubbed on my face and shunned out to people as truth. I have chosen to counter this false story being shunned out with true version of the story. Books have been written by foreign Journalists who witnessed Nigeria Civil War and I ll humbly ask you to pick these books to read instead of reading the ones written by the likes of Chinua Achebe and Other Igbo writters; all written out of emotion and tribal sentiment. The man who facilitated the involvement of France and Portugal at the side of Biafra Nation against Nigeria state wrote a book in which Ojukwu was held responsible for 80% of those heart-trending pictures of Igbos. Ojukwu, in his bid to garner world sympathy towards Biafra struggle decided to use the death of his people as a war propaganda of which the world powers were able to see through. The obvious questions you and your likes chose to ignore are: 1). How come Ojukwu and his soldiers looked well fed at the time of these Kwashokor pictures being taken? 2). How come Igbo elites both political and military with their families were well fed in the midst of all this? 3). How come Biafra soldiers choose not to kill Nigerians in a war that lasted for 3 years with white South African pilots mercenaries bombarding Nigerians from the air? 4). How come Biafra were so keen in taking pictures(if not for propaganda) than fighting their enemies? 5). How come we never see the pictures of Nigerians who were mercilessly killed by Biafra soldiers? Nigeria Govt has no intention of using it as propaganda. 6). How come Biafra soldiers chose not to commit genocide against Nigerians in the midst of all the genocide against their people? I presumed cos they were too nice........ Finally, the world chose to ignore this genocide rhetoric coming from the Igbos cos they witnessed it all. Biafra committed as much crime as their Nigerian counterparts and that was/is why that has never been any criminal case against those who were involved in Nigeria Civil War. Regardless of how much anyone tried to rewrite the true event of what happened, the truth ll always prevail. Thank you. 14 Likes 1 Share |

@ OP...These are legendary pictures, speaks volume! we cant even exhaust the after-tots it dissipates as you slide from one to another! I have had to save a few for my records...hmmm stories behind some are more graphic than the pics themselves! You may just want to ease up a bit on the pics, before messes up with ppls head...it is inordinately too poignant for the mind to grasp at once. These are emotionally overwhelming events that span centuries all wrapped up in one thread...Ah brother abeg take am easy..i don cry taya |

Sile12: HOAX ALERT This was repeated on NL can't point where the initial lie came from but trust nlanders in spreading unconfirmed tales When I saw these I had to call God with all His names that I know.

victorazy: The war stopped cos your progenitors ass were thoroughly whipped while your coward rebel leader stole one of Biafra women wrapper and took to his heels. What a coward!!! The idiocy and greediness of your worthless and senseless progenitors were what led to the war and the result of the war. Are your Biafra states ok today? If your answer is no, then your Biafra Nation won't make any difference cos the same corrupt and shameless Igbo leaders would still lead you and your failed likes in the new Biafra. The only region suffering in Nigeria today is the East. They are the only one running from poverty in their land to other regions for a better life while others stay in their regions cos there is nothing to run to in the East; think abt that fool. 2 Likes 1 Share |
