"Until now efforts to relieve the Biafran people have been thwarted by the desire of the central government of Nigeria to pursue total and unconditional victory and by the fear of the Ibo people that surrender means wholesale atrocities and genocide. But genocide is what is taking place right now - and starvation is the grim reaper. This is not the time to stand on ceremony, or to go through channels or to observe the diplomatic niceties,  The destruction of an entire people is an immoral objective even in the most moral of wars. It can never be justified; it can never be condoned."
Mr. Richard Nixon, September 9, 1968- During the Presidential Campaign.

Young girls were abducted from their homes, working places and schools and forced into sexual intercourse with sick, demented and leprous men.

( Benjamin Adekunle. Commander, 3rd Marine Commando Division, Nigerian Army to French radio reporter). ",


The war aim and (final) solution properly speaking of the entire problem, is to discriminate against the Igbos and in their own interest. Such discrimination would include above all the detachment of those oil-rich territories in the Eastern Region,  in addition, the Igbos' freedom of movement would be restricted, to prevent their renewed penetration into other parts,  leaving any access to the sea to the Igbos,  is quite out of the question, "

"Unfortunately this [Gowon's] enlightenment at the top level does not penetrate very deep: a Lagos police officer was quoted last month as saying that the Igbos must be considerably reduced in number"
Dr Conor cruise O'Bien , 21 December 1967 New York Review


"Myself and The same UNICEF representatives went on to convey something of what lay behind this intransigence: "Among the large majority hailing from that tribe (Yorubas) who are most vocal in inciting the complete extermination of the Igbos, I often heard remarks that all Nigeria's ills will be cured once the Igbos has been extaminated from the human map , "
Dr Conor Cruise O'Bien (21 December, 1967, New York Review).

If you think that this is chilling, you haven't even read half of it. So next time castigate Biafrans, just think twice.

And today the Igbos still hold their own in every single endeavor. Evil cannot and will not overshadow good.

The blood of the innocent killed will continue to haunt the wicked and some are even regretting, others have had to die shamefully while others have become confused and stupid now after realizing that their short sightedness made no sense.

I guess with these facts more non Igbos would learn to appreciate what the Igbos went through, what they represent and what they will always fight for.

This History can make a man weep o! There was no difference between the KKK and these devils that wish the annihilation of the Igbo people.

This exactly the reason why they are afraid; they tell their children lies about Igbo people.

bullshit, who is telling lies about igbo

Eziachi,
Great work!!
U beat me to it. I was working on same. Its great how the IGBOS have refused to slave to the bastards.

Why are you guys turning over the decomposing body of peace (or its semblance)

Who is afraid of equity, transparency, justice, fair play and equal opportunity?

These things are what the average Igbo man or woman wants and I sincerely believe that every single person should want the same thing. Sacrificing excellence at the altar of mediocrity has never done mankind any good and will never do.

I can still see the tired war boot of my uncle by the wall. It is a monument i wish to let my children see. He loves telling me stories of how brave men (some of them under 15) fell on bombs to save a battalion from extermination. Here we are, somebode should tell Adekunle that those guys are even more now. They ( the Nigerian killing machines) are presently repenting ,  but that is just the beginning. My father use to tell me when i do some things stupid that it was not what Ojukwu would have done and it made me cry then because that man is the Igboness i see. This reminds me of how resilient (infact how igbo) i am.

Igbo ga adi!!

hello guys,

it was really great to stumble on this post and even greater to know there are people who think and see what you do. THE THINGS YOUR ENEMIES WANT YOU TO FORGET ARE THE THINGS TO REMEMBER! i think we should as young igbo come together to

  1) document the experiences and events of the biafran war because what we hear today are what others say

  2)find a more effective strategy to restore our economic dominance, something beyond the thieving, semi literate petty trader model currently in place

  3)develop ways to make our young people go to school and find pride and dignity in their igboness

  4)finally, make igboland viable economically, so that all of our investments will no longer be outside the homeland.

i will keep watching this thread to see where it goes and if perhaps it could serve as a launch pad for some of these things

be strong people!

@ bibiking1 says
Why are you guys turning over the decomposing body of peace (or its semblance)[b][/b]

We are turning over things so that people can see that the bodies are still very much alive and had never decomposed. When you read stuff on Nairaland and sees the amount of ignorance of people of Nigeria especially the young generation today, who had been fed lies and still ignorantly lives by the same lies told them, it makes you want to weep. They had no idea, the sort of unimaginable war crimes their fathers, uncles, heroes committed inside Biafra all in the name of one Nigeria some of them today are telling us they are regreting. Some that had called the great Ikemba names to day without knowing half of the story or the whole truth.

They want us now to sweep it under the carpet because it makes them uncomfortable, but just like the Nazis, the Jew will always remind the present day Germans, what their fathers did, but the good the things is that the Germans are acknowledging this facts and making amends but with Nigeria and their offsprings, it's a different matter, some are even will do it again if give the chance or opportunity.

I want every young Igbo, Yoruba, Efik, Ijaw, Annang etc to read this, not to get angry or be happy but for an education of what human being are capable of doing when fueled by hate and lack of compassion.
When I published the minutes of the Aburi accord, not many knew that that fact existed but it does. I am not a young man anymore and I experienced what happened first hand. If you don't tell the young the truth, the liars of this world will legitimatize their designs and the consequences are unimaginable to comprehend.

somebody said we are disturbing the decomposed body of peace. i ask you a question: what killed the peace whose body we are disturbing, should he not be alive and well?

mr. eziachi, thank you for your post, please keep it up, and how do i get a copy of the other things you have published?

Thank you, go to my past postings in nairaland through my profile here or Vanguard website, under my name Jon Ajuzieogu Lawrence.
The truth must be told.
Those that doubt the impact of Ikemba in Igboland are just decieving themselves. Look at how their appeal court had done the right things with Andy Uba, when his supporters were heard organising a celebratory party for their governor in waiting and the Ikemba had to speak out. One the Judges, Justice Ngwuta was warn by his town union of the consequences, if they ever imposed Andy Uba on our people.
Its not the right way in a normal democratic environment with a case in court that supposed had been thrown out but this is Nigeria and Ikemba and most of us understood the language the looters understands, quickly.
Do you see how slow, Ojukwu bashers on this forum had responded to this particular thread about the quotes of their heros and the job they did in their behalf.
The silent is deafening!!

This is no iorta of doubt that Odumegwu Ojukwu commands a lot of respect among Igbos and Nigerians in general and thats because of the straightforward way he tackles critical issues . . . . . Whenever he speaks, he does it bluntly without fear unlike his peers.
There is no doubt that his recent unappologetic press conferrence must have played a role in todays appelate court positive ruling.

While you await for the answers to your questions (many of them I find ridiculous anyway) I have just one for you.

Why are you using an Igbo username on this forum even when you are from the North if you are not ashamed of your tribe or your people?

I sincerely hope that people do not bother responding to him because there will be no end in sight as regards questions as this is the usual tactics of people that want to derail threads.

if you no get de intellectual capability to answer great questions wey go help us understand eastern political history, or if you dey nervous about de outcome of dis kind intellectual conversation, den you are indeed an intellectual midget.

na people like you go take cutlass chase anyone wey disagree with una, during village meeting. if you no get de stomach for dis kind of examination, go join forum where everyone share de same view with you.

as for me, i prefer to discuss issues rather than personalities or login names of faceless people.  make you continue to hide your ignorance inside tribalism - it will do you no good.  you don already judge my motives and that says a lot about where you are intellectually.

(16)The lost children of Biafra (who are they and where are they now?

Some of them grew up and became Nigerians. Some, like myself, managed to find their way in life and were able to become citizens of a much wider world, and in the process found the strength to be able to break free from the limiting chains of ethnic and primitive tribal bigotry, in spite of the hurdles that are thrust in front of them. While others still nurse unhealing wounds, around which festering scars have appeared that are too disfiguring and too painful for them to let go.

But many, the majority, did not make it. Their bones now lie scattered and broken in the eroding lands of what has become the South Eastern states of Nigeria. These ones, lost in the sands of time, yet whose names are engraved in the matrix of the beings of those that survived of their families; engraved like an image indented in molten gold that has hardened and will outlive a lot of those that gloat over their misfortune; these ones, perhaps, are the ones that are truly 'the lost children of Biafra'. That's what really happened to them. They died in a senseless war, yet in the hearts of those that survived, they live on.

War is not a good thing.

@beneli, thanks a lot. allah will grant you peace and bless you and your family richly.

my questions na to make people understand, minimally, de evil in warfare and to dissuade many of today's youths, who out of ignorance, continue to romance the idea of war.

may we never experience such a senseless war again.

Some of your question is not only meaningless or pointless but every yapping fowl deserved an answer sometimes, so I will try as much as I can.  This week in the whole of the western world, remembered 1914-1918 & 1939-1945, because its part of their history and a make of up of what they have become. Now how long ago was Biafra war, three decades. The reason people like you dont want to talk about or want it under the carpet while you disguise it as a pretence to peace or moving foward, is because it makes you unease when you heard what was done in your behalf by your parents or heros.  I am sure no child would like to be reminded that his father is a rapist.

Because all the evil that engineered the war is very much around, if not bigger. Now here is the answers to you question.


(1)Could  Biafra have survived to this day?
You don't need to go far to know it. If we survived by having just 20 naira of our own money to start, how much more when we start with everything, independent and free from quota system, educational advantage, boundary adjustment, fictitious census figure, deliberate deny of manpowering amenities lie good road, modern international airport?

(2)Where did the Biafran war of  survival go wrong?
It did not go wrong, we lost the physical war because of the size of the enemy- Britain-USSR-Egypt etc. But we won the moral war.

(3)Did Ojukwu fight for Biafrans or for his personal interests?
Ikemba was a billionaire before the war and ended up with nothing at the end of the war as he used his money to feed us in the face of impossible. That is not selfishness, its called self sacrifice. How you wish your brothers like Babangida or Abacha was 0% that selfless.

(4)Is there any way that the Biafran secession could have been  avoided?
Yes, if the Aburi accord signed by everybody was implemented. If you have left us alone to go our separate ways, marriage is never by force. And Nigeria of 2009 had vindicated us.

(5)What role did the eastern minorities play in the Biafran struggle?
Edwin Clarke, Anthony Enahoro are still is alive, maybe you should direct your question to them before they kick the bucket.

(6)Who actually killed Nzeogwu, Nigerian federal forces or a group of envious Biafrans?
I was one of the Biafran soldiers, I can't remember any unit known as the envious unit. If you know any better from your enclave in Sokoto, far away from the theatre of the war, please kindly educate me.

(7)Did Biafran and Nigerian federal forces swap foods, women, and ammunition?
Now you sound like Radio Kaduna during the war. The dumbest question since the last of the idiots.

(What should be done to the living Biafran war criminals?  (war criminals exist in every war)
I don't know any Biafran war criminal, if there is any tell us who they are and their crime and I will be the first to send them to share cell with Charles Taylor in the Hague.  Meanwhile you knew who the Nigerian war criminals are.  President Nixon, Sen Kennedy mentioned them but because of oil, they relent in punishing them. I think you know whom they are.

(9)Where did the Biafran war leave the people of Eastern Nigeria? Is there any way out of it?
It left us where we don't want to be. Individually we have ok, but as a nation, we are still slaves and the consequences is the fact that the likes of Uba family today are called our leaders by their creators in Abuja/Lagos.

(10)To what extent did the Biafran army use chemical weapons in strategic battles?
If there was a chemical weapon in Biafra, maybe we forgot were the key of their storage of kept when your fathers took pleasure in raping our mothers and sisters all over our towns and villages.

11)How effective were the Biafran-made weapons of mass destruction (Ogbunigwe and Flying Ogbunigwe) and self-guided  surface-to-air missiles?
As much as it could be effective under the circumstance war/hunger, the designer- Eng Roy Umenyi went back to teaching after the war.  In a progressive society, his talent could have been well tapped.  He becomes Jim Nwobodo's deputy between 1979-1984. He is now late.

(12)What deal did Cameroon and Nigeria make to facilitate Biafra's defeat
Cameroon president during the war (Ahmadu Ahijo) is from Adamawa but their part is in Cameroon and both still under the same Lamido of Adamawa. So the northerners counted on him to help them as their kin and he did.  If Biya was in charge during that period, things could have been different.
That is the reason president Biya- officially named the biggest market in Cameroon- BIAFRA MARKET. FACT!!

(13)What deal did China and Biafra make and why did it fail to materialize?
By 1967-70, Biafra is more developed in modern life than China, believe it or not. So I don't know where you got your idea of any deal with China, when China could not rescue Hong Kong from the British until 1998.

(14)Did Biafrans destroy the Nigerian 2nd Div. by sheer chance or by some form of advanced warheads developed in secrecy?
You tell me, armchair field marshal!!


(15)How and why did Biafran soldiers kill fellow Biafran  soldiers?
The war was fought inside Biafra and you were in Sokoto, you must have had some sort of sixth eye to know. Another stupid question.

(16)The lost children of Biafra (who are they and where are they now?
No we were not lost. Number one of them is me, and you have people like Phillip Emeagawali, Chris Akabuisi, Patty Boulaye (real name Pat Obi-igwe) and many others that were evacuated abroad by the red cross after the way to protect the Igbo race.
Today, I am a top orthorpeadic surgeon in the U.K since the age of 26, Emeagwali is one of the best brain today in the world, Akabussi went on to win Olympic gold for Britian in 1984, Patty became a top actress worldwide (she was the "JOY GIRL"featured in the joy soap advert on the Nigerian TVs in the 70/80s)

(2)Biafran women of war: what was their role in the execution of the war and other activities?

(3)What was the alliance between Biafra and Israel: the big deal between them?

(5)The Biafran "Boys Company", were Ojukwu and his commanders justified in using them for intelligence gathering and other war
engagements? Did the Boys Company help the cause of the war?

the answer to these questions go dey very instructive to many of us here.  i challenge the inhouse historians make dem help us with answers. no abuses, no prejudging, dis na just to add small academic dimension to de topic.

the answer to these questions go dey very instructive to many of us here. i challenge the inhouse historians make dem help us with answers. no abuses, no prejudging, dis na just to add small academic dimension to de topic.

Have you heard the saying that, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Education comes with a price, I am not here to supplement your Nigerian made educatin by answering your endless and sometimes meaningless questions not with a quest to learn especially when you think that I am insecure. Why not ask your father, he might tell you some. If he doesn't then let us know.
