kropotkin11:according to the casualty data, Nigeria had about 35,000-50,000 casualties while Biafra had just 10,000-25,000. It shows that Nigeria won by sheer population of soldiers. 23 Likes |

I still marvel at all the war machines built with local technology as at 1967. That needed great inspiration and motivation to do. Ojukwu, that leader Nigeria never had. He knew how to inspire and motivate, and ultimately influencing his followers.Those are the qualities of a good leader: They carry the charisma and people follow them, and not forcing themselves on and oppressing others with sirens 37 Likes 3 Shares |

One of the things hindering our developments as Africans is our capacity to distort every information, seek ethnocentric and tribal glory, and nit pursue truth which is critical to even self development. Biafra was part of the larger French pursuit of energy control in Africa. Biafra fought a French proxy war helped with underground supplies through third parties, free technological supplies/ transfers and indirect weaponry through pro French countries across the Bight of Biafra. I must however give kudos to Biafra engineers and military personnel's for quick adaptability but don't forget, some of the soldiers benefited from foreign trainings and were used to those machines. Yes Nigeria blockade of air and sea were just rhetoric, Nigeria herself could not in anyway enforce even today, a hundred percent air and sea boundaries. Biafra got many aids but jus like those propagating this thread Governor Akpabio said " if propaganda win wars, Biafra would have won" However, its a shame we couldn't build on these knowledge at least replicating these and improving on them but we must admit, the technology must come from your heart to do it. The population percentage given by someone there is misleading, I will, as a factual person and analyst contest forever the notion in the media of Muslim majority in Nigeria, do the breakdown state by state, you will realize that Muslims are never exclusive in any state in Nigeria.

mandarin: Arrant nonsense and wicked envy! Go and read about Prof. Ezekwe and how Ibrahim Bagangida begged with him to head the Science and Technology ministry with hope he would transfer his Biafrran inventions to Nigeria. Lets go by your logic that french transfered Biaffra technology as you claimed out of envy, are they still transferring technology to the guys in Nnewi who can craft anything mechanical? Have you been to Nnewi? If you see heavy mechanical parts manufactured in Nnewi, you people will run mad. Did the french transfer technology to Innoson to manufacture aviation parts for Nigerian Air force? From no where you concocted this lie of french transference of technology out of the envy in you people...why are you people like this for God sake? If there was ever a transference of french technogy, I promise you, top western powers who supported Nigeria will know...they had intelligence, and yorubbba media would have written about it like there is no tomorrow...that has never happened. So pls stop this envy...IGBOS ARE NOT YOUR MATE AND NEVER WILL! 76 Likes 8 Shares |

Nkem4040: How can I be jealous of myself, I give up on you. I said that Nigeria would have leveraged on all those stuffs and improvised but those who felt such be discarded would have their reasons. However, I believe there were some divisions of Nigerian army and military wares in Eastern Region then so it wasn't that Biafra didn't have ammunitions an arms to star with. You see, I don't know how old you are and how well educated and versed in documented and researched history of nations you are, but I must admit you are just here to flaunt what seemed to u as Biafran innovations? Nope but fabrications? may be. Please also argue and prove that innosson innovate and developed aircraft parts. You see, you are a funny guy. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nkem4040: If the story is true then something else must have happened because scientifically there is no know conventional munition that can obliterate everything in a 50 mile radius. .even the little boy atomic bomb used in Hiroshima didn't obliterate everything in a 50 mile radius from its explosion ,it was the radiation and vacuum fallout that caused so much loss of life.. what kind of explosive charge did the ogbunigwe use that is such a secret . I have seen the build of the ogbunigwe launcher and I can deduce it was a silo for launching a very crude solid propellant rocket which couldn't have been able to travel more that 4 kms of course without any precision. 1 Like 2 Shares |

mrvitalis:Proda was headed by Prof Oranika an uncle of mine, then at UNN, you should know him or may have heard about him. He was the brain behind ogbunigwe. Its a shame how desolate and deteriorated Proda has become, offering skeletal services every now and then upon my visit there last year. If Nigeria government had any interest in developing Nigeria, companies like Proda and Niger steel (which is at close proximity to Proda) should be fully functional. It's quite shameful that people will come online on threads like this to exhibit their total ignorance, mumbing things like reverse engineering and purchase of equipments which where clearly locally produced technology, verifiable by the Nigerian soldiers themselves and company records of Proda and SEDI. Infact, few weeks to the end of the war, the Biafran scientists had a major break through in the development of a missile(an advanced upgrade on ogbunigwe) which they have failed to divulge to anyone thereafter. 28 Likes 2 Shares |

ashjay001:Comparing America to yorubaland is funny. America is a nation of immigrants. Everybody is an American and owes their loyalty to America. Lagos is not a country of immigrants. It is an ethnic state. The people there don't owe it any loyalty neither does not confer any citizenship. The igbos as well as other ethnics there just wants to hustle and send the money home to build big houses in their villages. The rest of yorubaland is a docile fourth world enclave. The only other place there that has a bit of industrial activity is ogun state and is not even in the class of aba and Nnewi. Btw, America is the only real success story of strength in diversity. The rest of the developed world in Europe and Asia was built on the back of homogeneity and singularity of people and ideas. 11 Likes |
