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! 2 Likes |

MadCow1: 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. 1 Like |

joeyfire: 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. 4 Likes |

joeyfire: 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. 1 Like |

omonnakoda: ^^^^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 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!

joeyfire: 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.

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.

Yujin: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. remain blessed 4 Likes |

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. 3 Likes |
