Lovely .

This is history in black and white , irrefutable.

Not the one that some drunk ikwerre professors will be saying they took wings and flew to Ala Ibo (Alaigbõ) from bini ,without any shred of evidence or proof.

Just hypothesis and abstractness (hoping to cache into the sensibilities of some mumurians)🤣🤣🤣

But ikwerre is Ibo and ikwerre land is Ibo land .period

They served Adekunle beer and meat and he joked, "Before I drink my beer, I want Father to make it holy. After all, Jesus turned water into wine. If you cannot do this, it means you are fake". Sensing the mockery in his voice, Anthony refused to bless the beer and Brigadier Adekunle, noticing Anthony's reluctance, said "Well, if you don't bless it, it is blessed".

Without me you are as good as dead .lol

rinzaugustine:
story.. he should have been a coward and fold his hands while his people are being killed in north without provocation over coup military officers no igbo person elected ? Typical Agbado coward mindset..Ojukwu wasn’t going to ever be that because cowards die a thousand times before their death. Instead of fear fear life of paranoia and hiding under internet it’s best to take a rope and hang yourself to die honorably because a life of living when your inner man is dead due to fear is not worth living

What do you know about war?

What were federal forces doing in Umuahia? Asaba? Enugu? Owerri?

War is about advance and defense.

The supreme objective is usually to take the capital and unalive the grand commander on the other side.

Airhead.

because they are d only tribe creating nuisance everywhere

Even ahmadu bello said it

N till today, it is still igbos that is been prevented from voting in Lagos

It is still igbos that are given quit notice in the north

It is still d igbos that the Niger delta people don’t like

U people have to check yourselves

Umuahia, Asaba, Enugu, Owerri are and were all within the established territory of the sovereign nation of Nigeria.
When you have such rebellion, it is important to establish your presence within your domain.
Leaving your stronghold and proposed territory and marching into the mid-west with the aim of reaching Lagos was comical and naive.
Those baby generals totally got it wrong and paid dearly for it. Take the capital in Lagos? Are you kidding?

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was another simple man. Reverend Monsignor Colonel Pedro Martins wrote about his strange experience with Sir Abubakar.


Colonel Pedro Ayodele Martins was a Catholic priest who at various times worked as a science teacher at St Gregory's College, as the head of the Nigerian Army Chaplaincy and as the Vicar General of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos. He died in 2014 at the age of 103 and he was reputed as being the oldest Catholic priest in Africa and probably the oldest retired Nigerian soldier at the time of his death.


When this incident occurred in the early 1960s, Pedro Martins was a reverend father and science teacher at St Gregory's College.


Father Pedro Martins was driving down Awolowo Road on his way to his residence at St Gregory's College when his car developed a fault. He parked at the side of the road and came down to figure out what was wrong. He was working on the car when another car parked behind him. To his surprise he saw that it was the prime minister.

"Father, what is the problem?" Balewa asked. Father Martins told him about the car and Balewa suggested that his driver should take Father Martins home and then get a mechanic to fix the car, while he and his ADC would walk home (the prime minister's residence was at the end of Awolowo Road, right beside Onikan Roundabout).

Father Martins was about to protest that he could not allow the prime minister to walk home, but the ADC had already brought out Balewa's things from the car and both of them started walking to the residence (it was only Balewa, his police ADC and the driver that were in the car. There were no escorts or sirens).

Of course we all know that Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was assasinated and that his death (along with the death of other politicians and soldiers) led to the counter coup in which many people died and the counter coup led to the Civil War in which even more people died.

You know more than Ojukwu who was trained in conventional warfare and fought an active campaign?

The secessionists already proclaimed Biafra a sovereign state, complete with a map and a capital.

In your little mind, they should simply sit their asses down and wait for federal forces to attack the territory before they respond?
There should be no advance; only defense, occupation and retreat?

Stop displaying your crass ignorance online.

At the bolded, think of all the allies who offered assistance to the federal government in arms, mercenaries, intelligence, tactics and propaganda.
Think of the fact that the war dragged for a little longer than three years and you'll understand the capacity and motivation of both sides.

Sit down with your grandfather and ask him questions.
Everything is possible in war.

Mechonu, shallap dia. They all jealoused us and still jelousing us. They hate us in Lagos, Kano, Yaounde, Accra, Cape Town, Nairobi, Abidjan, Sao Paolo, etc. Even plus including Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka and very recently Cambodia. They are all Igbo haters just jealousing us.

“What? You talk about charity here? If an enemy caught up with our wounded men, they would still be shot to ascertain they are dead before removing all they have on them and whatever ammunition found on them would still be used on us. You don’t discuss charity. This is war”. “Sorry sir”, Anthony said. After this, he learnt to keep his mouth shut. Understandably, all is fair in war!
