If ojukwu only left with Igbo land in the east central state, there would have been no civil war, but he forcefully annexed the minorities and their land into Biafra The Ikwerres were so angry they took over Igbo properties in PH. Till today, the Ikwerres have refused to handover the properties to the rightful owners 3 Likes 1 Share |

Paraman:You lied. It is the Nigeria government that forcefully annexed the minorities and their land into Nigeria, if not there would have been no civil war. Biafra was referred to as the old eastern region which ikwerres were part of under river state (Biafra is not just Igbo tribe alone but consist of other ethnic groups) 9 Likes 1 Share |

Paraman: It doesn't matter if Ojukwu left with one street or the entire Eastern Region, there would still have been war. Those who consider Nigeria as their property won't let leave with even a plot of land. I wonder how the so called minority are enjoying Nigeria today?

Igbo states(south east) consist of 5 states which are Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Ebony while cross river, rivers and other south south states are part of old eastern region which ojukwu preside over as leader of old eastern region except benue (some parts of benue are Igbo speaking, Biafra territory) 6 Likes |

Paraman:Old eastern region was referred to as Biafra. Republic of Biafra, was a partially recognised state in West Africa that declared independence from Nigeria and existed from 1967 until 1970. Its territory consisted of the former Eastern Region of Nigeria, predominantly inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group. Biafra was established on 30 May 1967 by Igbo military officer and Eastern Region governor C. Odumegwu Ojukwu under his presidency, following a series of ethnic tensions and military coups after Nigerian independence in 1960 that culminated in the 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom. The Nigerian military proceeded in an attempt to reclaim the territory of Biafra, resulting in the start of the Nigerian Civil War. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biafra 3 Likes |
