In conclusion, war is never fair to the truth. Often at the end, the victors rewrite history.

If you were Ojukwu, you would have acted in the same manner; If you were Gowon, you would not have acted any differently.

Any war is full of betrayal, deceit, 419 and thuggery. Every one get USED unknowingly in one way or the other.

After any war, the question still remains: Is it worth the waste in lives and properties. Whether we like it or not, some people benefit from the WAR.

I salute all the fallen soldiers (Nigerian & Biafran). They were just doing their DUTY to their countrymen.

Thanks a lot for this because it is necessry in this ferocious period to remember the negative consequences of war.

And they still want this so called Biafra, after so much suffering.

Yes, it is a picture of a Nigerian soldier! Not just any soldier! It is a picture of the Black Scorpion himself, Benjamin Adekunle.

From where did you lift that image?

Who the hell are you, man? You can't tell Adekunle apart from a Biafran soldier?!

Shattap ur dirty mouth.....Adekunle ko,ibikunle ni. Which biafran soldier get mind 2 capture the black scorpion? Mcheeew

pathetic, very sad

Very sad. please stop posting pictures.

I have no pity for ibo people, they are greedy animals destroying Nigerian passport all over the world!

The number one cause of death among ibo people is crime and GREED!

OP, it would have been better if you had stuck to your vaunted neutrality when posting these pictures, by not making incendiary comments. These pictures are a valuable glimpse into a past that should not have been allowed to occur.

It is sad that egoistic men have to go to war. I hope everyone learns a good lesson from this, and not the inciting lesson op seems to want to impose on his audience. Lives are valuable, no matter where the colour of their external skin, their professed beliefs, or the accident of their ancestors' geographical birth. While we see pictures of the dead and dying, soldiers and civilians, adults and children, the only common characteristic they all seemed to possess was that they were all poor, and all powerless to start or prevent this war. Those who started the events leading to the suffering of all these people lived on to a happy old age, surrounded by their well-fed children and grandchildren in huge mansions, receiving pensions and accolades from the national wealth of those whom they caused to suffer, and being praised as heroes by the children of the dead victims. When we are encouraged by such people to fight so as to satisfy their ego and their thirst for power, we should remember that it is our children that will die, not theirs. Does anyone know how many of Ojukwu's or Gowon's children died during the war? My guess is zero.

Akhenaten:
Guess what battle this is from?

Abagana

Igbos should learn

And these stupid iPods want another biafra

Hmmm

Not even Obasanjo or Gowon would make such a statement.

who is dis "nobody"...

binhozie:


How else does it mean?
Its self explanatory!
I guess my mom was also among them, because she told me they all had kwashiokor!! 
My Dad who happened to be in charge of egg-yolk powder distribution or something like that happened to save their lives
Thats how they met!   

ur dad na vast guy..see how im use chance dey kpash kwashiorkor babes upandan , while men dey banter.

ekubear1:
Then it is quite fortunate for Biafra that Nigeria only had one or two "ordinary" commanders, eh?

If they'd been able to swap out Murtala Mohammed for another "ordinary" Adekunle, I imagine the war would have ended in 6 months.

And if any of them had been "excellent", would the war have lasted 2 months?  

excellent will mean all civilians will b killed na!

Starving Children Of Biafra

kai!war is no good.i saw NK among d starving children.

war is bad,i pity 4 those biafran children no food,no cloth,no bathing,no good drinking water,no teeth brushing,no basic toilet,smell of rotten corpses,shit,epidemic.

The naivete and simplemindedness of the Igbo led them to the disaster of the Biafran war. Now they're gearing up for another episode of slaughter and starvation in their paranoia. If I were the head of state of Nigeria I would send soldiers to occupy the Igbo states, including the Igbo regions of what is now Delta state. Someone has to save those savages from themselves.

Mr man relax we have seen millions of this pictures , believe me its not moving our stand on Biafra.. Biafra or nothing else.. Awolowo that starved them where is he chill men , explain the pix below

chill down... first go and read what lead to the war, the same thing that lead to the war is currently happening right now, who will see his people been killed for nothing an choose to remain silent because he want to pleased the Fulani masters, we have seen millions of this pix, believe me is not moving our stand on Biafra, Biafra is our only hope on awusa dominance , the 1st Oct threat how do u see do u see it as just a bluff the northerners hate Biafrans for no just reasons, because of their enterprise, business prowess, their industriousness, etc... their only problem is to maim , kill , destroy properties and goods worth billions, this is just mere jealousy, there is certain length u will push someone to the wall,they will have to pushed back, I will rather fight and die than to fold my hands, lead to the slaughter house like a cow and killed, point of correction ojukwu did not start the fight, its Gowon illiteracy that started the fight, they misinterprete Aburi Accord to him...

Do you really believe what you wrote up there, especially the bolded? I refuse to believe that this shallow mindedness is anything but a joke in bad taste. I do not believe that any halfway intelligent person can really reason this way.

The aftermath of the famous Uzuakoli Ambush, where a federal convoy was annihilated by Biafran troops.

Did igbos learn from the war?

Jakumo:


The aftermath of the famous Uzuakoli Ambush, where a federal convoy was annihilated by Biafran troops.

No Jakumo, you are wrong. This is the miracle of Abagana

MrPresident1:

I stand corrected. My knowledge of history is indeed fallible.
