Interesting

Ojukwu was a good man but a poor soldier.

Man declared the seceding of biafra with emotions and without plan. Arrogance and the general belief of superiority of igbos blinded his eyes to the fact that fantasies are not the same as reality..

Nope, they are there to collect allowance, their husbands are the ones on the front. Shay that one with baby too want to join army?

The same lagos ipigs call no man's land bcoz we have allow them do business and prosper without inference

The wounds of Biafra war hasn't healed in our nation

Ok

I cross-checked the picture with google source, it didn't lead to any page that confirms your claims. These women could be registering for ID cards or census something else.


Give us a proper source, everything yoruba media says is now taken with a huge bag of salt.
Even your 'Good mornings' still need needs to be confirmed by checking the clock properly. Its as bad as that.

Ok

For very small number of Biafran soldiers, Nigerian government begged for volunteers in the army including women. This is wonderful. I never hear say Putin begged women to volunteer for the Ukraine war because if you claim to be big boy, you act as one.

Cool. When next Biafrans talk trash. Them go receive wotowoto. E go worst this time.

So any thing that does not align with your search is inauthentic, right? Did you check the year? Who have you engaged to upload all photos?
I know as long as it doesn't brush your idiosyncrasy, it must be fake or explained away.
Kwantinue!

Trust me, if you were Ojukwu, and watched as over 30,000 of your own people are slaughtered in broad daylight, you would do exactly what he did

This is the plain truth that Chinua Achebe shied away from, in his book "There was a country"

haahah you left the Chelsea thread to become a full time political pundit

Some wounds would never heal, but we must all learn to respect opposing views, learn from past events & work for the betterment of humanity.

The country needs to be restructured, but violence is not the way forward in this particular situation...

OP you are a liar.
I guess some of those women are trying to enlist their babies as well.
Ojukwu’s declaration for a Biafra State was not a bad idea but his timing was bad and he did that out of sentiment.
If he had succeeded,the Igbos would have been better off.

Ojukwu was a lunatic without a brain. There is not a single thing good about him.

I didn't know he just woke up one day to declare Biafra. Once you see your people aren' safe and are ready to be finished off the map, a good leader would stand up and defend his people instead of being massacred without resistance. Igbos are proud of his actions

Without foreign interest and support, the Nigeria army wouldn't have won Biafra. Britain just wanted their Cash cow country to remain, not that Nigeria could win Biafra.

Oh lord, make this country a great one. We do not need another war
