And for those talking nonsense due to thier alarming high level of ignorance, let me educate you a little. This men fought 2 men to 1 gun yet they held off the Nigerian, Egyptian, USA, Russian etc military for about 3 years. They made thier own guns, bombs, telecommunication system, war ships, rockets etc from scrape metals (something Nigerian army has never and can never do). These skinny hungry men were regarded as the most advanced black nation in technology within those 3 years. Even an American journalist once said "It was in Biafra I saw Africans truely in charge". Lets now imagine what would have happened if the wicked Awolowo had not blocked the bouders and they had enough food or if Biafra had foreign aid from other nations, then by now not even a living cell would be found in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

teeowl: And your point is? Are you Igbo? How dare you tell a people how to feel about a hurt? How disrespectful? Nigeria number 1 citizen, Aguiyi Ironsi, is murdered in the revenge coup and it wasn't enough revenge. An entire generation of Igbo officers were then wiped off in the revenge coup and it wasn't still enough revenge? These were not enough revenge for the north/Nigeria? Igbos then deeply felt Nigeria really wanted to wipe them off after the 3- month pogrom in which over 100, 000 Igbo civilians had been killed all over the North and other parts of the country without government protection. A weak Gowon government had even announced he could not guarantee their safety. Who does that? When the mantra was kill the Igbos because they are the problem of Nigeria, how exactly did you want them to react? Do you punish an entire tribe for the sins of a few soldiers? Only in Nigeria! With what happened in Asaba (GENOCIDE), How dare u blame the rest of the Igbo nation for fighting to the last man? Read this quote: "There has been genocide on the occasion of the 1966 massacres, the region between the towns of Benin and Asaba where only widows and orphans remain, federal troops having, for unknown reasons, massacred all the men" (Paris Le Monde, 5th April, 1968). Now, read this: I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary and no UN delegation. I want to prevent even one Ibo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the centre of Ibo territory, we shoot at everything even at things that do not move, " ( Benjamin Adekunle. Commander, 3rd Marine Commando Division, Nigerian Army to French radio reporter). ", And read the meanest: "Let us go and crush them. We will pillage their property, despoil their womenfolk, kill off their menfolk and leave them uselessly weeping. We will complete the pogrom of 1966" (The theme song of Radio Kaduna, government-controlled, 1967-1970). Now this war to the Igbo was: fight a people that hate you or be slaughtered to the last man. This was the psychology of that war from the Biafran perspective. It was not about Ojukwu. This was why men fought with sticks against bombs. It was about survival. And it's why Ojukwu is a hero. He had many flaws but defending the Igbo nation was not one of them. So why cry more than the bereaved? 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Everydaeguy: Who told you Ojukwu started any war? That's how you people distort history. Do you know that Ojukwu went to Ghana and signed a peace treaty with Gowon right in front of the President of Ghana so that there would be no war but Gowon went back to Nigeria and broke the agreement. Ojukwu declared Biafra not war and he only did this after watching over 30,000 easterners,men,women and children butchered in cold blood. It was Gowon that declared war not Ojukwu. If anything,Ojukwu did over and above what was required of him to prevent war. Ojukwu is the only Igbo man who has ever fought for his people and that's why he remains a hero forever amongst his people not minding the suffering and death that occurred. All of that was the price of freedom. Sometimes in life,you don't fight because you are sure you will win,you fight because of dignity because without it,you might as well be dead anyway. |

If these set of young lackeys training with sticks and fighting with the war with little or no weapons kept a well armed nigerian military on its toes backed by soviet union, Britain Egypt ,chad, Sudan, Arab world and OAU destroying 3 divisions of the nigerian army then a well armed biafran army would have wiped out nigeria from the face of the map. My suggestion to IPOB is if you don't have the backing of Russia and America then don't toe the line of war. |

ludamix: [size=15pt]My brothers and sisters, I just want to comment on the Biafra issue briefly. We must commit and renounce the use of force to actualize our demand.We reject the use of armed struggle in the Biafra independence request. I know just like me, many of our people are not 100% convinced Biafra is the answer, while many others already are. Therefore, we should agitate for a UN sponsored referendum on the Biafra issue . Northern Ireland fought the British for 30 years for the independence of Northern Ireland, but the referendum proved that majority of the people wanted to stay in the UK. Likewise, the South Sudan's referendum proved majority of South Sudanese wanted to be in their own country. Therefore, a United Nations sponsored referendum should be the demand to see if majority of our people support independence or to stay in Nigeria.[/size] |

Many of these guys were conscripts and on their first day would often shoot themselves in the hand or arm to secure a medical discharge. A large number engaged in taking food from civilians by force and raping vulnerable Eboe women. These are well documented facts .So much for Eboe bravery 1 Like |
