Another first hand account that confirms Igbo cannibalism and wickedness
The writer witnessed the butchering of his uncle and he was then dismembered and his body parts sold in a Biafra market.
Interesting......
The murders and atrocities committed by biafran soldiers confirms the lies by Igbos that they were only defending themselves against aggression from Northern Nigeria. The real cause of the war was Igbo greed and an attempt to gain access to oil in the Niger Delta. As soon as Gowon created Rivers State and removed it from the former eastern region, Ojukwu went mad
This is the same strategy that Igbos are using today with their fake love for the SS. 74 Likes 9 Shares |

Trillyonaire: As a Rivers man who saw the events of 1967-1970 and who was old enough to understand them, this protest in Port Harcourt is a slap on true Rivers indigenes. and the memory of ALL the Rivers men and women who were slaughtered in the pogroms and ethnic cleansing committed during the civil war by the Biafran Army.
Let us remind ourselves of the TRUE facts and REAL reasons behind the secession and subsequent civil war. Ojukwu and his cohorts decided to secede from Nigeria because Gowon broke up the regions and created Rivers State among the 12 states he created. Remember the Aburi accord? Article 4 of that accord had to do with the breaking up of the regions. On the 27th of May, 1967, Gowon broke up the Regions, from the then Eastern Region and carved out Rivers, South-Eastern and East-Central states. 3 days later on 30th May, 1967 Ojukwu seceded citing the Aburi accord. ON ABURI WE STAND!! The rallying war cry of the day. How anyone who calls himself/herself a Rivers indigene support tacitly or otherwise the so-called Biafra cause when Biafra seceeded just because Rivers State was created and the Rivers people for once had a right to self rule?
In the quest for a sovereign country did the Igbo majority seek, discuss with or solicit the support of the minorities in the Oil Rivers and South-East?? Where is Biafra? How do you seek for a country which was susequently named Biafra WITHOUT involving the indigenous people of Biafra? Isn't that supreme arrogance or maybe they were not included because they were meant to be wiped out later. Events proved the latter to be true.
Late Chief (Dr.) Nabo Graham-Douglas who was the Attorney General of the Eastern Region was sent on compulsory leave and exiled to his home town Abonnema with orders for him to be executed. Fortunately the plans leaked and he miraculously escaped. He didn't draw the Articles of secession and only heard about Biafra from the BBC journalists who came to interview him in Abonnema. He was one of the lucky ones.
The ethnic cleansing began in earnest. Our intelligentsia; top civil servants, technocrats and other able bodied men and women were rounded up and summarily executed in Enugu, Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Degema, Buguma, Bakana, to mention but a few towns/cities. In Port Harcourt, Rainbow town and Igritta, became killing fields. the bones of those victims still lie there These atrocities were committed by the Biafran Army, against people who were supposed to be fighting the same cause with them. In a bid to wipe out the minority tribes, our towns and villages were evacuated, our men put to slave labour and later on shot (reminiscent of Nazi Germany), our women taken as sex slaves, young boys shared the same fate as the men. Bakana, Bille, Abonnema were all forcefully evacuated.
Finally, when the Nigerian Army counter attacked and liberated Port Harcourt, the retreating Biafran Army, burnt Kingsway (now Supabod building), Nabo Graham-Douglas's law library (which was the best Law library in the whole of West Africa) and other land marks in the Garden city. Of what military significance were these acts??
I don't blame the misguided ill-informed people for trampling on the graves of those who were murdered by the Biafran Army, by protesting in Port Harcourt. I blame Gowon for forbidding accounts of the war being published after the war, but more importantly for not trying war criminals (like Col Ojeh of Degema) within the Biafran Army and holding them accountable for their inhuman and murderous actions during the war. 70 years after World War 2, we are still reminded on a daily basis the atrocities that the Nazi's committed. If Gowon had done what he was morally and duty bound to do, this matter of Biafra would have been put to rest once and for all.
By the way, in May 1968, my uncle (my mother's younger brother) was shot in his Warri street residence in Port Harcourt, his corpse butchered, his flesh sold as Biafra meat in Mile 1 market. That same day the Nigerian Army opened up and started shelling Port Harcourt, which was ultimately liberated
Are those protesting and the other supporters of "Biafra" aware of these facts??
The war has been over these past 45 years, we are forging on as a country, setting aside our ethnocentric issues. That Ex-Biafrans have been assimilated into all spheres of our society (as they should), without any punishment meted out to the war criminals among them, doesn't give anyone the right to re-write history or bring these painful memories back. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Igbo greed destroyed the political solidarity of southern Nigeria.
With the benefit of hindsight, I have concluded that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup even though I had earlier initial reservations about this. Nzeogwu may have had nationalistic intentions, but the likes of Anuforo, Ifeajuna, Okafor and perhaps even Ironsi were motivated by that Igbo innate propensity to want to lord it over others.
They repeated the same mistake with GEJ and that one was politically naïve and took the bait. He allowed himself to be controlled by neophytes in the political game, had GEJ aligned with the Yorubas early enough, he definitely would not have lost that election. Igbos used the poor man and destroyed his political legacy including that of the PDP.
Yoruba voted Buhari not because he gave any sound political arguments or enunciated any solid economic policies, they voted Buhari simply as a reaction to Igbo greed!
Yoruba will not be servants of the Igbo in the same country, let us all be slaves of the Fulani, after all, they are a capable people too!

https://www.facebook.com/alaboabiye.akkioabbey/posts/10153267949980028 What you wrote on facebook is very much one-sided and is not only novel, but largely unsubstantiated. You failed to highlight the exigencies and confusions of the war situation which led to whatever you alleged the Biafran army did wrongly. You believe Gowon would reveal the atrocities of the war when Nigeria, like its British creator, has been a rogue state involved in genocide, ethno-religious killings and human rights violations which it manifested in its monstrous forms in the war both in PH and Igbo heartlands. I can assure you that for every Graham Douglas extrajudicially killed by the Biafram army, there are one thousand Graham Douglasses and Okafors also extrajudicially killed by the federal troops during the independence conflagration. My landlord, an Ogoni man fought that war on the Biafran side,and the only thing he agrees happened in what you enumerated above was the evacuations- that he also attributed to a movement to safer hinterland areas because of the operation of federal troops from the coastline. Many people died on that long trek to the hinterlands, he said. How were the Biafran troops directly responsible for this? Elechi Amadi and other Ikwerre/Rivers leaders were at the Oputa panel in 2005. When the Ohaneze confronted them with some of the atrocities of misguided riverine persons against their hinterland Igbo brothers during and after the war, they couldn't handle it and mere flared up. How did the federal troops access the coast routes to attack PH and Biafran hinterlands? Let all verifiable truths be brought to the open immediately so that we all could get the healing we deserve. Now I leave you with this question to chew on you since you appear to hold the above strong opinion: Do you consider it truly a 'liberation' that the federal government carved out Rivers State as autonomous from the 'old Eastern Region' but refuse to allow them free control of their resources which was taken with the left hand through revenue consolidation in Abuja, local governments, 600 ambiguous agencies, and states creations? 15 Likes |
