On this day 47 years ago, the Biafran soldiers surrendered to the Nigerian government after a 30 month civil war which cost the lives of many people.

The Igbos were not happy with the Northern-dominated federal government and saw secession as the way out.

On May 30, 1967, late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, a military officer and politician announced a breakaway of the Eastern Region under the new name Republic of Biafra.

The Nigerian Civil War also known as the Biafran war started in the early hours of July 6, 1967, and ended on January 15, 1970. Nigeria fought against Biafra to counter their secession from the Republic of Nigeria.

During the course of the war, the Biafran Army had to build its own arms, ammunition and armoured vehicles.enter this link

1)Obunigwe(mass killer when interpreted in English) it is a series of weapons systems which includes command detonation mines, improvised explosive devices and rocket propelled missiles. This deadly mass destruction missile also called the 'Ojukwu Bucket' was popular in the civil war era and was said to have made the federal troops jittery.

2) biafran Grenade Launcher
This was used to launch the dreaded grenade “Ogbunigwe”.

3) Biafran armoured personnel troop carrier
This was use to convey soldiers to the battle front during the war.

4) Biafran armoured car
This armoured car is usually equipped with high powered machine guns.

Lol

5. Biafran red devils
The armoured vehicles built by the Biafrans were called red devils because of the devilish way they operate. There was the Red Devil - type A, B, C and D.

6) Biafran made armoured tank
This tank is equipped with an anti tank gun and can rotate 360 degrees.

7) Biafran mobile artillery machine

And still with all these war machines. Nigerian Federal Troops crushed your succession dream.

8. The Biafran bomber aircraft
The Biafran engineers and experts convetred some aircrafts into a weaponised bomber fighter jet.

9. Biafran refinery or Biafran pot
Hundreds of this heavily and carefully crafted crude oil refinery were built by the Biafrans. It brought refined oil, diesel, kerosene, petrol and aviation fuel for military, government, public and private use.

Biafrans have still not given up and are still clamouring for secession. Their leader Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention and is facing trial on charges related to treason, mismanagement of an unlawful society among others.

after the defeat Nigeria failed to capitalize on the ingenious inventions of the Biafra rather they allowed it to die a natural death because of God knows what

LOL. The federal troops where like learners under the might of biafra soldiers.
Reason why there were much casualties among the federal troops than they where on Biafra troops.

Food security factor made Biafra soldiers to surrender if not, no federal troops would have remained to tell the story.

No be whining.

3million of Osus and Ojukwus were still suyanised to Amadioha within a spate of 2 and half years.

Shows how pathetic your military prowess is.

LOL... See frustration...
When we look at the past and check how far we've come, we go on our knees to thank God almighty. Bc no ethnic group in Nigeria will ever survive the onslaught not even the yorubas that's why up till today they can't challenge the north in outright fight or worse war.
Calling you guys Cowards is just understatement. You no dey shame say you are in word exchange banter with people that fought for survival in the span of 3 solid years. God have mercy on your soul bc karma is still a big dam.

There you go again, Yorubas are coward bla bla bla

Yet your grandfathers were urinating at their pants at the mention of black scorpion. Major adekunle was about to wipe you out if not that you surrendered to another yoruba man.

You should be grateful to the yorubas for your survival today, we could have taken over the properties you left here but most yorubas gladly took care of the properties while the war was going on and it was returned to you guys after the war. Some yorubas hid your tribesmen in their houses to prevent them from being captured, ,soldiers were going about stopping people and asking them to pronounce "TORO" knowing fully well that your tribesmen couldn't pronounce "R" . But we hid you away from the army. That's why many of you were able quickly adjust back to your previous financial situation. When Germany lost the war, they were made to pay reparations, so also Japan, Japan was punished with lots of restrictions. That's the conventional way to prevent people from starting needless wars .but gowon said No Victor No Vanquished . You are here praising yourself for one stupid resilience, Fg spent huge amount of money giving amnesty to your grandfathers so they could restart their life. Fg spent huge amount of money on reconstruction and rehabilitation. it won't have cost the FG anything to make sure that you guys were suffocated.

You are here showing us pictures of ogbunike, why aren't you showing us pictures of food produced by biafrans, why didn't you tell us that your army was diverting food meant for sick biafran children.

Ojukwu boasted to the whole world that they will surprise us although he did surprised us eventually by disguising as a woman and "commandeering" a plane meant to airlift sick biafran children. He started something but he couldn't finish it. In Yoruba land, our Aare onakankanfo don't run, whenever they lose a war they commit suicide. And you opened your mouth to say yorubas are coward.. If yorubas hadn't stop the invasion of the fulanis southwards during the olden days wars only God knows what would have happened to you guys because you had no standing army. .just young and old chest beaters with wrappers on their waist.. It would have been terrible for you guys.

Don't ever open your mouth to call yorubas cowards again

If Biafra have goting dere freedom during nigeria civil war dey we be one of the war power by now

woww.. ..

why the harsh comment?

Are they not losing their lives now even though there's no war?

ritababe:

go and check the meaning of harsh when you wished genocide on a group.

Fedayeen02:

I see you are frustrated, take your frustration somewhere else I don't have your time.

Fedayeen02:

Where did she wish genocide on a group? She was only being factual. Most of the Ibos flying up and down (Like Nnamdi Kanu) and his supporters need to realize that should they go to war today, their people would suffer and suffer for nothing. Making threats and calling Buhari a goat will not give them Biafra.
