Whalis: Why write such broad faced lie against Ndigbo. Igbos have never believed in annexation or allocation. Even though Ikwerre is part of Igboland somebody from Owerri cannot lay claim to land belonging to Ikwerre even though they live side by side. Ikwerre man cannot lay claim to land belonging to Etche even though they're both Igbos living side by side. It is only Yorubas who lay claim to Lagos oppressing the real Lagos natives. 6 Likes |

GUNITGuy: That's the story of consolation Westerners like to tell themselves, that Fajuyi was killed because he wouldn't leave Ironsi's side. The Northerners didn't have to kill Fajuyi, they could have just detained Fajuyi and done whatever to Ironsi Fajuyi was killed because Northerners knew that Yoruba would do nothing. Ogundipe who should been head of state was chased away because Northerners knew that Yorubas would do nothing The Western Region had already been overrun and taken over by Northerners long before Ojukwu came to Ore 5 Likes 1 Share |

Believeintruth:They were land issues I know for sure not just ph even in Calabar ...The Ikwerre elders know all this ... immediately they notice an encroachment by Ibos which was then called Ibo domination they remaned all their lands sharing similarities with Imo state and Abia state to Rumukoro Rupokwu .,Rumuibekwe inorder to distinguish them from Ibos and automatically declare themselves non Ibos this still available till today... They were also rumors that many Ikwerre young men who refused to fight the war were buried alive in Imo state ..... War is ruthless and cruel anything can happen .... They want to use the minority to fight while they lead from behind ....I heard all this from an elder in Ph.... The minorities were so weak and naive ....ibo character is known to have an attempt to dominate and even take possession of other people's lands in ....Such is demonstrated even in Lagos were they call Lagos no man's land .... A small lady was telling me before the last election that they would take over Lagos even without any legitimate powers now imagine when they have authority in a place like Enugu the kind of influence they would wield .. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

gidgiddy:What was Ojukwu looking for in Ore ....Giving commands from Enugu to a Yoruba man to take over Lagos isn't that cowardice he should have led the army himself and that was the only successful campaign because Banjo occupied the Midwest but the reason he couldn't cross ore angered Ojukwu ... No Ibo commander mase such degree of progress saving Colonel Achikwe who carried out an assault leading.to the death of 5000 soldiers on Onitsha bridge but he was reported to be shooting his own men in front of others to create fear .Ojukwu end up garrison soldiers to protect himself from being captured and changing command post from Enugu to okigwe then to Owerri only to run away after wasting so many men in the war front ......Yet he's called a war hero by Ibos ...... 11 Likes 1 Share |

The Civil war was won with the help of the British, so you guys should stop acting as Heroes. It was the Igbo led eastern region versus the British aided Nigerian army. The odds where unfavorable to the eastern region from the jump. That is why they were called rebels.....The war end in a No Victory, No Vanquished note. But despite everything, The Igbos are still a threat today. What a strange Ethnic group of people 2 Likes |

sportskid:@bolded confirms my point and belief. With what you just said, I’m sure you would agree with me that it’s only an idiot that goes into a war where all odds are against him. Secondly, your argument is a blatant lie because many countries also supported Biafra during the war. The notable ones being France and Israel. I think Russia was also with Biafra at the time.

Wickedlywicked:Some of what you said are correct others aren't. Igbos led by Ojukwu undermined the interest of Britain in Nigeria. They never envisaged that Britain had Nigeria as an entrusted personal estate. France aided Biafra with medical and food aids I doubt weapons were inclusive. Russia was out to make money and only aided the side ready to pay which was Nigeria. Israel aided both sides. 3 Likes |

Whalis:Thank you but they (Biafra) got external supports too? That’s exactly my point and full stop. I don’t want to see that false narrative again. The narrative that Biafra was fighting heavily supported Nigerian troops should not be aired again. It was a case of two-fighting and both sides suffered casualties and got external supports. The igbos need to grow up and stop this victim mentality already, it’s nauseating. 7 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=Goodvibes007 post=130468069] Sunset in Biafria - Ikwerre man that served in the war - Elechi Amadi See War is no picnic, you guys betrayed the Biafran army by selling out to rebels, so they acted the way they did, if you were in the Western region and you betrayed them in war, will they clap for you? again you are trying to be smart. i asked you in the time before the war during old eastern region you said in your statement that an igbo man will ask you to leave your land. Oya show us evidence from the 40s till 1966 where igbos did it. You guys are not clever at all. 1 Like |

Brenbentondiaz: muykem: Jonjam269: Golan007: Blazebond: You people make me laugh. Prior to the civil war, the Nigerian side had a standing army, a navy and an air force. The Biafran side had none. All the 200+ tribes in Nigeria combined to fight 1 tribe, and you guys dey jubilate 🤣🤣🤣 When war was declared, the Biafran side was able to mobilize and train men, setup logistics and even do R & D DURING THE WAR! Just imagine that. Research is something that is done during peacetime and applied during wars but they did theirs in the heat of the battle. The Nigerian side was supported by more than 9 countries including Russia and Great Britain while the Biafran side was supported by the Vatican (mostly with aid) and a few other smaller countries while France aided bịafra with medicine and food. They held the Nigerian side for 3 good years and decimated the better-equiped Nigerian forces. In the end, fearing imminent defeat, the Nigerian side setup a blockade to prevent food aid from being brought into the Biafran side. This is the tactics you people are celebrating; killing women and children by starvation because you're too chicken to face their men in battle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 4 Likes 1 Share |
