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!

Warship:


Sometimes you talk without deep research and reasoning.

One reason we lost the war, was because no one knew how to build ammunitions technology

If the Biafrans, knew how to produced bullets and shells, the money they spent importing one bullet, would have been used to produce 100 local bullets/shells.

The capacity to produced 100 local bullets/shell for one foreign bullet/shell, would have meant more bullets/shells for Biafra troops.

So the technology that we lacked that rendered Biafra weak is the bullet/shell technology and also jet engine technology

Till today, bullet/shell technology and jet engine technology are yet to be developed.

Soviets were on the Nigerian side, nigga. These technologies as at then were proprietry and advanced for African standards let alone a breakaway nation blockaded by land and seas.
Even food was not passing through the borders let alone weapons. Get some education, you afonja and stop putting everybody on the same pedestal you put yourself.
Even in 2016, the only place where you can get a decent level of manual engineering and reverse engineering and its applications is in the east. Nowhere else in Nigeria.

Yes they were destroyed by a retrogressive leader called Gowon.

Why did you think Nigerian Steel industry was built in Ajaokuta after the war against the original design by a white man to build it at Onitsha

lordkhalifa:
yeah we are chest beaters because we are achievers... after the pogrom which we all know how it was won, without western ally I wonder would have become of you by now... probably in shackle pounding fufu,

Look at the amount of hate poured in this thread. I don't understand why people who hate each other so much should live under one roof. It doesn't make any rational sense to me. Just look at the hatred on this thread. It's a shame.

The Yorubas were living wonderfully well before one white man joined them with people of other cultures, spirituality and language. The Igbos were living peacefully before one white man joined them with people of different culture, spirituality and language. Even though these tribes or nations ave skirmishes their reconciliation come easy.

Now for some reason some people want to clings so hard to the people they so much hate. To me, this is stupid and immoral. Some will say Nigeria will collapse if a certain section leaves even though they didn't collapse all those years prior to that forced marriage.

See the hate in this thread. Smh. How can I hate a student so much and vice versa, quarrel and fight literally and metaphorically dirty with him or her but when it's a new session we renew our rent under same roof? Is Wealth better than Peace?

Look at the axle in the first picture and explain to me how you can forge that crudely with your bare hands. The hole in your story is bigger than the ozone depletion.

WE KEEP LYING TO OUR SELF IN NIGERIA SINCE 1960. IF YOU THINK BIAFRANS BUILD ALL THOSE EQUIPMENTS DURING THE WAR WHO STOP THEM NOW FROM BUILDING THEM? OJUKWU HIRED ALOT OF WHITE MEN WHO WHERE TO EXPLORE THE OIL AFTER HELPING BIAFRA TO WIN THE WAR, YES THERE WAS BLOCLADE BY NIGERIA AGAINST BIAFRA SO THIS HIRED WHITE MEN STARTED MOUNTING GUNS ON NIGERIA ABANDONED MILITARY EQUIPEMENTS. THEN USE PROPAGANDER TO FOOL THEIR SUPPORTERS TO MAKE THEM BLV THAT THEY ARE PRODUCING MILITARY EQIUPMENT LOCALLY. NOW THAT THE WAR IS OVER WHY ARE THEY NOT MANUFACTURING? OR IS IT ONLY WAR EQUIPMENT THAT THE CAN MANUFACTURE? IF THEY MANUFATURE JEEP AND TANKS DURING THE WAR WHY DONT THEY USE THOSE IDEAS TO MANUFACTURE HUMMER JEEPS OR RANGE ROVER OR EVEN CATARPILLER FOR THEY GOOD OF THE IBOS AND NIGERIA AS A WHOLE, IF YOU THINK THAT THEY IBOS MANUFACTURED ANYTHINF DURING THE WAR THEN WAKE UP BECAUSE THEY DID NOT MANUFACTURE A PIN TALK MORE OF A TYRE SO DONT BE DECIEVED. IF THEY MANUFACTURED REFINARY OR REFINED CRUDE OIL IN THE SIXTIES ANDY UBA WOULDNT BE IMPORTING REFINED PRODUCT INTO THE COUNTRY TODAY.

YES,TYPICALLY INTELLIGENT YORUBA.CAN'T CONTAIN AND SWALLOW THE LIES OF THE IGBOS.YOU ASK YOURSELF...HOW SUDDENLY WOULD IGBOS BE TECHNOLOGICALLY SAVVY DURING THE WAR WHEN THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE AND AFTER THE WAR.AS WE STAND YORUBA CONTROLS 70% OF THE ICT WORLD IN NIGERIA.WHERE ARE THE IGBOS?
MOREOVER WE HAVE SEEN THAT MOST OF THOSE THINGS WERE BROUGHT IN BY FRANCE AND THE MERCENARIES.DON'T BELEIVE YOUR LIES...

new2020:


Typical yorubba...can't contain their envy of Igbos. Keep disgracing your kinsmen!

revolt:
I think you have a point. They hadn't mastered the art of creating projectiles. those tanks were the 1st step to inventing the wheel .....eeerrmmm that being said, they were still ages nd miles ahead of the federal govt. If that momentum in science had been sustained, by now we'd have greatly improved in our engineering . This nigeria is just cursed n retrogressive sha.

Warship:


Was Biafra blockaded by sea and air.?

Go back to your history classes.

Sorry, I remember that Nigeria don't teach history in order to hide the truth.

PaulIdu:


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

mekuzi200:

Yoruba controls 70% of the ICT in Nigeria, how and when? Can you please post your data and also show us the percentages by tribe?
You should also post the numbers of indigenous application built by Yorubas that gives it this 70% lead. These applications must be world standard, and used by global communities. Links should also be provided..
You should also lists the start ups that really having global impact in the tech industry by Yorubas which add up to the 70%...
Please do, or forever, keep quiet.

new2020:
What baffled me till this day was all of these sophisticated weapons and inventions were carried out in 1960s within a very short time, we are talking about 3yrs...so the Igbos knew all these then? Just imagined had Nigerian government absorbed all of the B!afran engineers and scientists. I know IBB pleaded with Prof Ezekwe to lead the ministry of science and technology but never disclosed much as a minister...his heart was with B!afra I guess.Lol

Warship:



Cameroon was pro-Nigeria because they had a Fulani president then who helped blockade Biafra by land.

Why did you think we lost Bakassi peninsula

Go back to your history classes

Horsesmouth:


I have just about had it with these yoruba people.

Aigbofa:


Cameroon shares a border with Nigeria, Cameroon was a French colony, France was sympathetic to Biafra. Please connect the dots.

Kaysalas:

Are you for real or biend sarcastic. How can tanks be the first step(inventing the wheel as u put it) compared to production of bullets? Pls enlighten me

Ritchiee:


No wonder 200 Yoruba soldiers defeated battalions of Biafran soldiers ao Ore.The weaklings.You feel bad that the typically intelligent yorubas do not swallow your lies.

kettykin:


The information is not hidden at all it is there on the Internet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abagana_Ambush
So devastating was the brutal slaughter of the 2nd division of the army that murtala mohammed was relieved of his command of any division and went on a self imposed exile .

The ogbunigwe was again used to halt the advance of the nigerian army during the operation o.a.u
All though through combat means the biafra forces again reduced the size of the 3rd Marine Commando commanded by Benjamin Adekunle from 35000 to a mere 300 soldiers.

NobleG1:


You mean launching many explosives with that thing at a particular place can't destroy the place? What the hell are you saying?

Even a common hand grenade can destroy a place if many of it are thrown to one place!

It's all about physics? E.g. One nuke can't destroy a whole country but if you drop many of it, a country like Nigeria would be reduced to dust.

It seems you were absent in science class.
