Facts U Dont Know About This Biafran War by brandydaniells(m): 4:54pm On Jan 11, 2017
to be clear ...am not on any bodies side ..


OK ..fact u probably don't know about the civil war ...


1* September 29 1966 was Nigerians worst day ever progoms In the north killed thousands of the IBO's ..causing millions to do flee ..

2*major Emmanuel ifeajuna was the first to attempt a coup in Nigeria on 15january 1966


3*major aguiyi ironsi successfully carried out the first coup . but he was later removed in a counter coup ....studies showed that he brought his own downfall ..when he released northern leaders in prison. they went and plotted his downfall ..

4* the Nigerian army out numbered biafrans on a 10:4 ratio

5*the civil war attracted many foreign attention and support ...with Britain, Syria,Saudi Arabia ,algeria, supporting Nigeria . and France ,Portugal,Spain,south Africa,Rhodesia supporting Biafra ...with Egypt supporting both side s with air support ..(confusing though) resources said they did it for money

6*in 6 July 1967 two columns matched in to Biafra led by murtala Muhammed and massacred 700 of biafran soldiers in asaba ..who in turn retaliated by killing thousand of them ..

7*resistance in abagana ,arochukwu,oguta,umuahia,ikot ekpene, onne gave Nigerian soldiers bean and fire ..when they attempted to infiltrate them


8*the final attack that broke Biafra was "operation tail wind " led by general olusegun obasanjo on 23 December 1969 ..shattering owerri and uli ....days later ojukwu fled to ivory coast!!!

9*hunger and disease killed about 12million people more than what d battle field killed !


10*after the attack on Nigerian troops in asaba ..they hired Egyptians air forces ...who fired at will both on civilians and d red cross shelters

11*:the funny part was that Gowon didn't understand the terms of the aburi record
before agreeing to it !! it was after that he understood it and refuted it .

12*the northerners turned against Gowon when he was head of state ....reasons hidden ....sources said his alliance was with the British colonies

13* French is studied in eastern schools cos of French help in the time of danger !!!



doesn't change anything we all want peace though ***

One thing i know about Biafra. It isn't a good cause. It breeds war, disunity, and death.

Point of corrections

1) Ironsi never plotted a coup

Soka forest historians on rampage. Una no go leave Ironsi alone? The man even made you lot what you are today. He was the one that crushed Nzeogwus coup. He was the one that made Gowon chief of army staff while allowing northern officers to occupy strategic positions in the army as a way of appeasing them after the january coup. He was the one who had the chance to finally wipe you lot out of the army, police and co but refused, rather prefering to travel all over the place in the name of peace. That was why the second coup was very very easy to happen. Aginst all advice from igbo officers, he was there being more Nigerian than anybody else, travelling with a retineu of northern military officers as his guards...

Once again, lets state the fact; Ironsi did NOT poerticipate in any coup. Even Danjuma who was enthrusted with the duty of safegaurding him at Ibadan and who killed him said he did so because he was slow in trying Nzeogwu and co. Obasanjo made Ironsis son the minister of Defence immediately after Danjuma resigned. That was a powerful way of trying to spite Danjuma. If Ironsi was involved in any coup, those who foght to revenge that coup wouldnt have congratulated his son with the position of the minister of defence. You guys should stop rewriting history. Ifeajuna and Nzeogwu led the January 15 coup. They were igbo and those who killed over 3 million to truncate their revolution can look at beutifull Nigeria today and pat themselves in their backs for their foresight in biulding a very sweet and prosperous country.

lol. I am Christian and somehow my religion doesn't support violence. But take a good look at it. David was a man after God own Heart. Sometimes referred to as God's general. The man that has never lost any Battle. Even Jesus my saviour had to get a little violent when he saw his father's temple turning into a market place. Come on please don't hate me.

Ibos and lies are like siamese twins. Hunger and desease killed 12million. What was the total population of the SE at that time ?

Secondly, stop masturbating on the pogrom without admiting what led to it. One thing led to another. Ibos in the north stupidly and arrogantly brought the pogrom upon themselves so they had themselves to blame.
Again you cunningly hid the fact that the Ibos were surreptitiously carrying out ethnic cleansing in the army while Ironsi filled virtually all stratigic positions with his Ibo brothers.
No matter how much you people try to rewrite history to suit your whims and ego, always remember that facts are stubborn elements.
