Why Biafra Might Have The Largest Military In Africa by MilitaryAnalyst: 12:40pm On Jun 04, 2021 |
From history, we have seen that how a country gets its independence tells on how it treats it's future. Israel got her independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice and today we can see her military. China got her independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice as well, being humiliated and dehumanized by Imperial Japan and today we see how they've taken a stand never to allow a repeat of such again. If Biafra gets her independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice it will forever be in Biafrans mind making them super patriotic and will flood in mass into their military force. Owing to her large population of 25 million people, this gives her advantage to get a lot of citizens willing to stand to the defense of the land. The only thing I see which some might term a disadvantage is lack of a naval force due to the fact that the tribes of SS have expressed that they will not be part of Biafra, not withstanding a lack of a navy is not a lack of a strong military force. Biafra could field nothing less than 500000 soldiers and above. Nigeria could push Biafra to create one of the strongest military force in Africa. 15 Likes 4 Shares

If Biafra gets her independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice it will forever be in Biafrans mind making them super patriotic and will flood in mass into their military force. I know they don't teach history in our schools, but has Biafra not already tried to gain "independence through bloodshed and great sacrifice", or are you not Igbo so you never heard the stories of those that were sacrificed in your family? I think it is time to use the brain to get Biafra, if its worth getting that is, but I get some might just want to die for nothing! Again! 7 Likes

Akwa Ibom is Natural Ally and Friend of Biafra , the Last President of Biafra General Philip Effiong is from Akwa Ibom , which have direct access to sea . If Ijaw refuse to Join Biafra we can always have access to the sea via Akwa Ibom which even have the highest oil deposit in Niger Delta 20 Likes 4 Shares |

We are over 50 million, stop writing what you don't know. And until referendum is held, you can never know who is going with who. That some northerners are on nairaland forming south south, does not make them south south spoke person. For your information, we will be more than happy to form a country that is made up of only Igbos. We will do great with or without south south but we can never be angry with them if they choose to be on their own. They are great people. Divide and rule. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

umunaija: I thought as much. Imagine the cunning of trying to eliminate Igbos by slying leading them like lambs to the slaughter! I am not Igbo neither, just that I thought an Igbo person would have learnt from the past and become more smarter at achieving their goal rather than ignorantly repeating the mistakes of the past. |

mrvitalis: That's what they do, open two accounts, one as Igbo, the other as ijaws or Edo, and start arguing with both of them. Claiming that South South must join Biafra, that they don't have choice. People are falling for their tricks. I have always said that South South are at liberty to do whatever they like. Igbos will survive with or without south south. South South knows in their hearts who is waiting patiently for their oils, Igbos that I know don't care. One thing is sure, we will always be neighbors if they choose to stay on their own. We are not begging or quarreling with them. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Whiteangel1234:Even with SE, Ndigbo have the closest link to Atlantic ocean which is OBUAKU 25nm to the link to Atlantic compared to onne and Calabar which are 30 and 35nm respectively. Study the map and ask questions. Even with only SE, Igboland has never been landlocked. SE port is closer than Apapa and Lekki sea port which are (35 and 45nm respectively) There is a very big difference between beach and Ports. It is extremely difficult and costly to construct ports on beaches that is why you use the closest linking river as port. Which unfortunately SE have the closest in Nigeria 4 Likes 1 Share |

tutudesz: First he is not the spoke person of the Igbos, likewise you are not the spoke person of the ijaws, majority of the Igbos if referendum is held, may or may not want the ijaws to join, like majority of ijaws may or may not want to join Igbos. All this nonsense tribalism you guys ( Igbos, Yorubas, ijaws, etc) are showing on nairaland is funny. You all are not the representatives of the people and have no influence to do anything if your people choose otherwise. You are just an individual. N.b I still know that 90% of people here are not from the tribe they claim on nairaland. Most of this thing started after asaba declaration by the governors 7 Likes 1 Share |

BKayy:You will have to give me those in English because my Ibo is no more than that, though I'd say the full “Igbo kwere na ihe ha kwuru”, but I haven't found a meme for it yet. The assumptions is that "the Ibo people stand together in agreement and collective will”, but I'm finding that not to be the case as Peter Obi and Atiku make some choke. BKayy:As for the above, no one is asking you to negotiate with terrorists if you do not want to, though I would be rather you not call my government terrorists since we are not so dumb as to have elected terrorist! Be that as you prefer, "Use the brain" is the phrase I used, which could mean use intelligence, or wisdom, or wiliness, or slyliness, or cunning, or deviousness, or just about anything you can use to get or take what you want except shedding your blood and losing your life which has already been tried but which woefully failed. I mean, you must have learnt from past experiences and become wiser and smarter. No? 1 Like |
