Constructing heavy War-Machines, Grenades weren't a problem, but producing a tiny bullet was?!

Technology indeed!

sukkot:
thats not the point. its a fight between one faction of the west and another faction of the west. yes the west already had control but the french wanted a piece of the pie and biafra war was how they could cause instability so they can get a piece of the pie from america and britain.

new2020:


**** you need heavy machineries to make those parts abi? If B!afrans engineers and scientists reasoned like your amala brain, they would not have manufactured a simple device. Whenever Ojukwu will tell them to manufacture a weapon or device for the survival of the B!afran nation...they will all reply with you amala thinking brain " WE NEED HEAVY MACHINERIES TO MANUFACTURE THAT DEVICE" ****You see why Igbos don't reason like you people? ****

Go and see if Innoson uses heavy machineries to manufacture aviation parts for Nigerian Airforce. Only if you will travel out of your amala region to Nnewi...do you know that car, trucks mechanical parts that most Nigerians use...gear box, fuel pumps, water pumps, transmissions are manufactured in Nnewi and branded as made in Japan? Go and tell Abdsulami Abubakar he doesn't know what he was saying when he visited Nnewi last week.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
stop jumping around ignorantly. Those weapons were produced locally, the factories where they were produced are still in aba and nnewi.

The armoured tank there is called the red scorpion, who else do you think would have constructed the ojukwu bunker (was it imported from Paris?).
We cannot change history because you don't like it, even the Europeans and famous notable Nigerians gave credence to this fact, then who are you to start making fallacious claims.

sukkot:
bros, this is all fun. dont take nothing personal. if you read through the thread you will see several cone-head afonja scratch face yoloba insults lolzzz. this is harmless nairaland banter between yoruba and igbo who deep down know they are brothers but just enjoy fighting each other

ashjay001:



True talk jare! How can Igbos be my mate? My lands are d most developed compared to urs, my pple are d most civilised, my region is d most peaceful.

Infact this ur innovative tech was stopped by mere hunger, initiated by guess who ...

betterABIAstate:
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.

PaulIdu:


How can a grenade launcher wipe out an entire division. .my friend you talk like a learner .

zeongeon:
You won't blame me, its just the perception I have about you and the personality you created online. Its well

Milllz:


Smh .

Same way they cleared all our account balances, gave us £20 each to start and sold our oil wells to the north but today we are still billionaires.

cstr15:
That you believed the French can get a pie from America is funny.
America was and is the world power. Nobody gets a piece from them.
If the French actually had a hope of getting a piece, then they would actively supported Biafra like Britain did Nigeria.
France just wanted a weak anglophone Nigeria that is all. They didn't stick their necks out for it.

NobleG1:


If you knew the damage that weapon can cause, you won't doubt his statement.

The thing didn't launch an ordinary hand grenad. You're probably confused on what type of grenade it was.

sukkot:
french mercenaries did all that with the help of biafran labor

aresa:


Chain reaction..lmao..

You people no go kille pesin with lafta I swear...

Warship:


Technology is not based on size but knowledge.

That knowledge we lack

sukkot:
ojukwu did not hire mercenaries. those mercenaries hired ojukwu. biafra was a proxy war for the west for african resources. deep down ojukwu thought he was fighting to liberate biafra but the people who are controlling the show ( the world powers ) were fighting for nigerian resources.

eduj:

while at it you can post links on how France sent the ogbunigwe bomb to Biafra too.

DengXioping:

Though ur assertion is mostly ryt, I would say it is a bit crooked .
Yes the quest for control of resourses was a major issue, and DT was wat brought France to support Biafra, nd the U.S etc. on the Nigerian side. Control over petroleum in the Niger-Delta, was a paramount military objective of both sides nd their supporting parties. But apart from those mercenaries u said hired Ojukwu, Ojukwu did hire mercenaries. They were paid for there services in Biafran bonds.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
French marceneries did the job? How come Nigeria government have not hired French mercenaries till date to do something substantial for the nation?
Where was it published that they French mercenaries did the job or did you just assume it?

Ojukwu bunker is a masterpiece of an IBO, Frank mbanefo of agbim and partners a port Harcourt based company made the structural design and Okechukwu Onyemelukwe was the builder of the bunker.

Stop this ignorance, I think Nigerian government should incorporate Biafra history into our curriculum to educated people like you.

Izonpikin:
is it a crime if for once you praise the ingenuity of the ibos??...just for once...

sukkot:
i do not contest that fact. in fact he hired a yoruba mercenary by the name of victor banjo, a warrior who single handedly took benin ore under 1 day

betterABIAstate:
bros, there's hidden potential in Igbo land. At the age of 27, I had already identified and extracted a diuretic phytochemical in a very popular plant that can help manage hypertension. My brother who is a chemical engineer is working on a local drug synthesizer. The molecule is going through preclinical tests, the government of Nigeria is not helping at all coupled with the financial setbacks we have had in coming up with the drug synthesizing machine.

If I have the then government of Biafra, you think I wouldn't have gone far with all the preclinical tests?
We may have dusted that part and even gone ahead to develop other drugs and machines because we know what we want but no fund, no functioning research institute, no facilities in the country.

Let me just hint you on the little contribution I can make if Biafra war should come again, I can developed biogenetically engineered microbes (which name i wont give here) that can degrade some particular metals, l know I will get a good platform to carryout the research because the fund is now available unlike the then Biafra (I'm already doing little things as regards that incase the war comes again). This time, you will see the full technological potential we posses.

Or just give us independence, lets plan ourselves, this country is annoying to me.

sukkot:
biafrans did the labor, the french mercenaries did the draft and architecture

Aigbofa:


Biafra did not produce jack, it is a blatant lie. You don't products armored tanks without any factory or factories.

Oasis007:




Biafra Technologists lacked the simple and basic knowledge to make Bullets..... but well endowed with the knowledge to build sophisticated Tanks and WMD - Ogbunigwe?!

Even ordinary Yoruba Hunters are making Bullets since time immemorial!
