After a pogrom of Igbos in Northern Nigeria, in May 1967 the Igbo people seceded from Nigeria and declared the establishment of the Republic of Biafra. The British Government of the time demanded that Nigeria must stay as one country, despite huge religious, linguistic, and ethnic differences. With British help, the Nigerian government blockaded Biafra in order to starve its population. Between 1966 and 1970 more then two million Igbo people were murdered in Biafra. During the Biafran war the British Government was the main suppliers of arms to the Nigerian Army. The present day British Government must apologise for it's predecessor's complicity in causing and sustaining the Biafran War.

That's the only reason Nigeria won the war. Had Britain chose to remain neutral as they do now in most conflicts in the world, there is no way Nigeria would have won. Ojukwu was the one who had the Oil, the seaports and a determined people. Had Ojukwu being allowed to sell Oil and import Guns,ammunition and food the way he wanted, Gowon and his northerners would have been chased into Niger Republic. But unfortunately, Britain deployed it's Warships to blockade Biafra while supplying Nigeria unlimited resouces. Britain won the war for Nigeria

Not only Britain But d whole world.
If only dre was no arm embargo on BIAFRA.
It would've have been a different story.
OJUKWU after watching d igbos being massacred in d North, has no option but 2 declare BIAFRA.
[size=13pt]I have no idea whether all these Ipob Igbo's have been forsaken from using their brain. Diplomacy, international relations etc are technicalities in war which one must use to his advantage during war. How your Ojukwu that schooled in the UK could not comprehend this is pathetic, that the senseless one among you Igbo's will blame others such as Yoruba Britain France etc for the glaring failures of your entire tribe and Its leaders and not doing whatever is necessary to achieve success only shows you are all deranged.
If German can perpetrate the holocaust just to win a war and USA that shout human right can drop atomic bomb twice on Japan just to win a war I see no reason why I personally will not do the same to Biafra if I was the Nigeria president at the time you Biafra deem it fit to wage a war.
War is not kunfu or kickboxing. War no be dirty slap, do whatever is utmost necessary to win and apologize for any resolution you might have floated after victory. You ipob Igbo should cease provoking other Nigerians with your shameless, pathetic unrelenting claims of deprivation genocide or whatever you all chose to call it. Its beta you instigate another war than continue with this act of extreme cowardice and incomprehensible foolishness in the name of fighting for freedom it is naeuseatiing. You all can achieve you freedom using Ghandi diplomacy style or simply go the way of Kosovo Eritrea Slovenia and many other smaller countries that fought successfully for their independence without whinning about it senselessly for several years like you all are doing on NL.[/size]

Why can't you people just admit that you n your leader during the Biafra war are all failures.
You are here whinning about an embargo, can you people not learn from countries that Crimea Ukrain Syria Yemen etc that understand what international relationship is all about. Why can't you people query why your own leaders are not able to have someone with superior war arsenal at their disposal fight your cause.
Why not take a moment to understand all of these so that you can comprehend what a foolish man Ojukwu was for sacrificing 2 million Biafrans in a war he knew he can not win. Why do you lament over foolishnrs and lack of foresight everyday on NL while blaming others over his poor judgement instead of condemning and scolding his generation yet unborn for condemning his people to death. Have you not read about Ghandi before ?

Re u dumb? Or intentionally being ignorant, when did OJUKWU declare war.
All he did was to declare Biafra, after thousands of Igbos were being massacred up North,
Was it not Gowon and co that brought armored tanks in Biafra border?
Re u an illiterate? If not Why talk like one?
So u expect OJUKWU to just surrender innocent Biafrans 2 d Nigeria forces 2 b raped and murdered like defenseless idiots.
OJUKWU did what any SON OF D LAND will do which is 2 fight back when pushed 2 a corner.

Every person or group of persons who participated in that UNJUST war against the people of the Eastern region has their punishment coming for them
There is nothing they can do to escape it
This is going to happen before the very eyes of everyone so no one will say they don't understand what's happeningg

Get out of here!!!
Hmmmm I guess not . Remind me please, what exactly did ojukwu thought he was doing on Jan 9, 1970 when he ran off to Abidjan under the cover of darkness? He simply left his people at the mercy of the invading force whom he had earlier on, told his people were out to annihilate them. However, this was not the case, evidently (else you wouldn't be here to spew this gibberish), but not before ojukwu had wasted 2 million innocent biafrans lives for his personal war.
Even in the face of obvious defeat, Ojukwu persisted with HIS war and despite the harsh conditions innocent biafrans were going through then, the eze gburugburu of iboland rejected two further peace accord in 1968, convened to end what has now clearly turned out to be. a one- sided war.

Oh shut up! This discussion is beyond your years. Ojukwu did not kill 2 million people, Nigeria did. Anything in this world than can kill 2 million is an evil entity. Britain supporting Nigeria was all about the same reason Britain created Nigeria, exploitation. Exploitation has been what Nigeria is all about. When freedom fighters such as Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu emerge, the agents of slavery and exploitation will rise up and unite to try and bring them down. Look at Nigeria since the war ended, are we any happier? Have we progressed? Are we united? Do we even like each other? So where is the 'one Nigeria' that Nigeria came down to the peaceful East to kill 2 million for? The same Britain that supported Nigeria because of its imperialistic and selfish motives are the 4th richest nation in the world after America, Japan and Germany. Where is Nigeria? That same Britain hardly intervenes in any war these days because things have changed. That same Britain gave Scotland referendum to decide their fate rather than shout 'one Britain!' and kill 2 million people like Nigeria did. Don't mention Ojukwu again, Ojukwu was fighting to free his people from ISIS, Boko haram, the herdsmen, Janjaweedians and political domination of the North. Everyone else was fighting for the chance to be a "northern a$$licker"
Hmmmm I guess not . Remind me please, what exactly did ojukwu thought he was doing on Jan 9, 1970 when he ran off to Abidjan under the cover of darkness?

No amount of twisted logic can change the facts The facts are there for all to see!!!
Your writeup is nothing but a total and utter waste of time
Some of you don't seem to realise that we live in a digital age where information can be easily accessed on the internet
Why still waste your time with the 1 dimentional twisted propaganda crap system of the analogue age When you know such cannot survive in this age of easily accessed digital enlightenment
It baffles me why some of you still try propagating nonsensical stories that can just be debunked by the click of a button

Dey there de fuul yourself. The silly op you need to castigate is there still blaming other for the failures and ineptitude of the Igbo's and its leader. Continue encouraging while you castigate me 4 only replying what him. A very good case of blaming that which returned a slap but complimenting the intiator of the slap. Keep on twisting logic on its head. Your generation have been doing the same thing since the 60s.

The problem with you Igbo is your sense of entitlement even when you clearly understand the system is faultly.
Now, did the war started from when FG moved it tanks to the Biafran border ? Your answer to that question should tell who is dumb BTW us.
Did you not read about how chest beating Igbo lunatic deem it fit to orchestrated a coup killing the Hausa prime minister draging is dead body through the street of Lagos, killing the Hausa premier of the northern region, killing the premier of the western region ? While sparing that of the Eastern region.
What audacity could make anyone act so carelessly, where do you Igbos get the sense of entitlement that you can slaughter these leaders without being slaughtered en masse in return ? What gave you the effontary to commit such daredevil atrocities and still beat you chest about it to the face of those you have perpetuated these crimes and expect that they can not feel entitled to the right to instigate the Biafra genocide of 2 million Igbo and chest beat about it right back at your face ?
