These guys, 'bird chest' and all, held off the Nigerian army for more than two years with sticks and stones. Nigeria should continually thank Britain, Egypt and Russia, if not for them there'd be no Nigeria.

Lol

@@@@

forget 1967

under radio biafra london

we are coming strong!

and we are here!

the sun must rise as Chukwuabiahama has said so

enuff said

It shall never be well with all of you calling these youths Biafran soldiers! How can people fight with ordinary sticks and barefoot? The Biafran soldiers I saw, both on video and pictures, were well-fed gallant men in uniforms trained to use rifles. I'm not even sure where they got this picture from. But if this is a part of Biafra, it must be the local boys during a martial art training section. The purpose was to be able to defend themselves since they couldn't carry guns.
Op, e no go better for u!

teeowl:
And you actually believe what you just wrote....

no Igbo beggar.... lmao... in Lagos we have them in groups of blind and lame, singing Igbo songs with their tamborines...

...
lol... Liv the bigot.. they so think they are special.. in kaduna, Abuja, aba, Lagos, Kano... they use god as a way of begging in Marco polo.. plus 90 percent of prostitutes re igbos.. did all there rich brothers Liv them to fend for themselves

MadCow1:



Yeah, you are right. I heard that there were a couple of flash conflicts here and there at the early stages of the war. The Onitsha one was definitely one of them. Then the Abagana Ambush which followed as a result of the failure to take Onitsha the first time. But it may interest you to also know that it was after those attack that Gen Murtala was relieved of his command and on the next onslaught, Onitsha fell in under 24 hours.. Then came the formation of the 3 Marine Commando unit and all and that began the end of the war.. From there on, Biafra was taken apart..

10,000 FG troops massacred in four days with wave after wave being poured at the Biafrans is not flash conflict "here and there". it was a bitter battle that Murtala the butcher of asaba lost like the puzzy he was. He had to attack Onitsha from idah, kogi state to get anywhere.

You are reading your history upside down if u describe the war as piece of cake for the FG it was bloody and costly. For instance Owerri which the FG captured was retaken in a bloody battle by the Biafrans and held for almost a year when the war ended. For your info the 3rd marine commandos had limited spread in the conflict.

Lmao @ 10,000.

You mean Biafra took down a whole division of the Nigerian army out of thin air, when the number of troops deployed there weren't even up to a brigade (3,000)?

Stop indoctrinating yourself with jejune tales and fables. I believe the Nigerian army lost less than 200 soldiers in that theatre. Still a disaster, though.

EVEN BOKO HARAM LOOK SMARTER THAN THIS HUNGRY LOOKING ADVANCE YARO BOYS.

All of you insulting them cos of their stature and the sticks they're carrying should stop for a moment to think. If they could hold off the Nigerian Army who had foreign help for more than two years with just sticks and a few Awka made Guns, just imagine what they could have done with real ammunition. I rep Biafra- Land Of The Rising Sun

Well done! You have said it all.

Lmao. You obviously sound like a stark illiterate. Anyone can post fables on wiki.

I put it to you that: I doubt Nigeria lost upto 10,000 soldiers throughout the duration of that war combined. Ditto Biafra and the fictitious 3 million people story. That was a propaganda war. A lot of folks died, but the numbers were exaggerated.

In case you don't/didn't know, apart from Biafra - the rest of the country was peaceful and folks were going about their normal business, as if the country wasn't fighting a war. Apart from aerial bombings by Biafra's European mercenaries, from time to time, in Lagos, Ibadan, and I think Kaduna as well.

omonnakoda:
Did I kill them ? Cry me a river. You better go and wake Ojuiku up to account for your dead during the war. Yes there was genocide before the war but to a lesser extent even Yorubas were victims of that and your folk played a role in precipitating and provoking it. One with the January 15 coup but even more with the usual insensitive and triumphal behaviour in the days and weeks after that is typical or you lot The main problem of the Eboe in relating to others is you have very bad manners and just talk anyhow.When you speak you have no regard for others feelings
There was no genocide during the war that is nonsense
Your mom deserves to die a lonely painful death and she will

^^^^Hehehehehe

This pathetic post of yours shows you've lost the argument and lost the plot!

You say 'my folks played a part in precipitating and provoking the genocide before the war'? You see this is exactly what i mean when i say you're evil, full of deceit and full of shi't! Care to tell me where and when Ndigbo gave Nzeogwu (and any other Igbos that took part in the coup) an overwhelming mandate to go out and slaughter people in the name of coup? You wanna sit there and tell me the core muslim north never killed Igbos prior to the Nzeogwu coup and uncivil war, and haven't touched a soul ever since?.....Because this is the implication of your post: that but for the Nzeogwu led coup the core muslim north wouldn't have targeted and killed Igbos up north! The fact that any Yoruba may have been a victim is probably a case of mistaken identity or being in the wrong place at the wrong time because we all know it's Igbos they were actively looking for!

Your evil kind always trot out this lie that Igbos were triumphal and insensitive after the first coup!.....This is another lie you bastards cooked up to justify your wickedness!! Your excuse is that Igbos were targeted up north in their tens of thousands because they were gloating after said first coup! Care to show me independent reports of this happening; and care to explain why even as we speak innocent individuals are still being hacked down up north in their thousands? I suppose they're still angry decades latter that Igbos were 'gloating, insensitive and triumphal' over the first coup!?

You say we have 'bad manners'? Your problem is that your hatred and bigotry is beclouding your judgement and anything Igbos do or say riles you up so much.....that's one of the effects of bad-belle! You can end the mental torture with a very strong rope around your neck!

You say there was no genocide during the war? Pray tell, what is the stand of international law regarding mounting a food blockade during war that targets non-combatants so as to get at fighting soldiers?.....Tell me! Also, care to tell me what you call the goings on in Asaba when Murtala Muhammed decided to pay a visit with his bloodthirsty gang?

My darling Mum is blessed thank you very much, so your psychotic rambling episodes amount to no more than water off a ducks back!


PS: Oh....and before i forget, it's spelled IGBO not Eboe! Cheers!!

Smallie I don't do wiki I leave it for internet kiddies like u. Read a few books and u may learn a few things. Nigeria lost half a million soldiers. 20,000 died in owerri and onitsha alone

Half a million soldiers in a police action the country never fought with its might, apart from securing certain axis, no?

I doubt that war would have lasted 6 months, if they had taken it seriously - the whole plan was to suffocate Biafra, till they surrender. And the plan changed towards the end.

Anyway, that war was one of the biggest propaganda wars ever. Nothing interesting about it, apart from exaggerated numbers from both sides. And noise making everywhere. All in all, an unnecessary war between a young country and a power-drunk suicidal warlord who ended up eloping like a coward.

Learn ya history cos it has a way of repeating itself.

Just so you know: I believe Nigeria is a zoo with primates, and not a country. Hence the country is stuck in abyss, with no future, unless everything is restructured - or folks are allowed to pursue their own different destinies. And I support Biafra. But as a black man, I don't support suicide among black folks.

The Biafran adventure was a suicide mission. And it seems you lot haven't learnt from it, and the only way you console yourselves is by chest-beating and making unnecessary noise everywhere, with jejune tales, faux-bravery, and fables. History is about to repeat itself, be wise.

zendy:


You are not making any sense at all. Ojukwu is highly revered by the Igbos becuase he did exactly what the his people asked of him. The Igbos told Ojukwu that they were tired of Nigeria and mandated him to give them independence and Ojukwu listend to them and declared Biafra. Wether you like it or not,it is the right of any group of people to pull out of Nigeria any time they want. Ojukwu is by no means a coward. He left when the game was up. It would have been f00lish of Ojukwu to stay back to be slaughtered over a war he had already lost. Yes Igbos don't like Yorubas and Hausas and they know this yet these 2 tribes are against the Igbo man going his way. Why? I'm sure if Igbos declare Biafra tomorrow, these two tribes will come out to fight again. The question is why? Can't they do without Igbos? Yes Igbos supported Jonathan and if he runs again in 2019,Igbos will still support him although [s] I'm sure we will have had Biafra by then.[/s] Igbos have a far more stronger connection to the Ijaws, nothing connects an Igbo man with an Hausa or Yoruba man.

Ojukwu is a coward
Everything he did was for selfish reasons and you gullible foóls believed in him.
Biafra is a dream that will never become reality bcoz, the ss region included in your map is impossible.
Even ss people hate you people.

Yujin:

Nwanne Ojukwu never caused anything.

well said brother, I just cant help to think that a lot more lives could be saved if Ojukwu had done things differently. Aburi was never going to be accepted because oil had been discovered in the region.

As for Nigeria, I don't think anyone hates me. I have lived most of my life outside Tate south east and I haven't been discriminated against. Igbos are doing well all over Nigeria, we have federal appointments and hold key positions (Ngozi okonjo iweala) but we always tend to. overlook all these to continue playing the victim. Forget what you see on nairaland, igbos and yorubas live in peace in real life.

no one likes an arrogant person. I'm igbo yet I get irritated at the attitude of some Igbo sometimes. Igbo call hausas aboki and Yoruba ugly, are they supposed to like that. respect is reciprocal, I respect other people and I know that they will respect me.

I still maintain that we should let go of the past and make something for ourselves in this Nigeria.

the funny thing these days is that igbos dont even need a standing army to seceed for Nigeria, we only need to invest in a state of the art drone program.

Bad manners is making a record after the January 15 1966 coup entitled Ewu be na akwa(goats are crying)and others.
Playing such records in the barracks and other triumphal Eboe behaviour that is typical of you. Taunting Northerners about the death of their leaders and various other activities.Those things happened and you folk refuse to learn today.
You and your mother can write a book if you like.You will not change anyone's mind

Biafra is history that Igbos should be proud of. It should remain history.

A handful of sponsored individuals wearing uniforms and taking photos in London doesn't equate to a movement.

May the Good lord bless the two wonderful igbo parents that brought you to this world and bred you to become a rationale and upright Igbo man you are today.... I would urge you to keep propagating this gospel of rationality and detribalization amongst your fellow Igbo brothers and make them see reasons why they should stop playing victims and look beyond hate and and an age long vendetta. Though I am Yoruba but you have spoken my mind quite well in the most diplomatic way possible. As for me to a large extent I believe in the Nigerian project and also the quality in our diversity if we make unity a constant factor. Enough of the blame games.

They were defeated almost immediately. Ojukwu in his pride chose to play games with civilian lives and refused to surrender.Thank God the Nigerian Army were professional and not inclined to genocide

Excuse me! Defeated almost immediately? You definitely have no knowledge on the accounts of the Nigerian civil war. Please do your background checks before saying things you don't know.

Okay let me rephrase that. They were defeated before a single bullet was fired! Their "chis" were defeated so all the time they were dancing a dance of defeat

God bless you my friend! when i talked like this, the other Igbo would say i am Igbophobic, when it is only Ojukwu that i am against. Civilian lives were lost for a war that some of them were NOT in support of.
