IamaNigerianGuy: Take note of what I pointed out in the earlier reply. Nigeria had the resources to trade in exchange for support and munitions. Biafra relied mainly on home made equipment, propagenda and recruitment of mercenaries. No pun intended. |

The drum of war is hard now. The Yorubas are at the receiving end. Thank God Obasanjo, Gowon and half dead-Buhari are still alife. They will disgracefully go to their grave when Biafra will come to be. 2 Likes |

KidsNEXTdoor:@bolded. You zee bro, this friend and foe idea has been imprinted on our minds by our leaders just to serve their selfish interests. The number of tribes and religions in Nigeria doesn't stop us from achieving greatness. India for example is more diverse than Nigeria yet they are more developed. We need to unite and show our greedy leaders that we are no fools. We need to resist manipulation in order to achieve our collective aim - greatness! |

decatalyst:They did not have, if they did, he would have given it to them. However they needed to fight, I used to think that my uncles were lying by saying northerners gave them no choice but to fight. Until in 2012 when a northern Nigerian old soldier told me that " I understand why ibos had to fight, only cowards wouldn't ". 3 Likes |

decatalyst: And I repeat: it is not true. 1. Ojukwu dedicated his personal fortune into the Biafrian cause. It was not a small amount. At one time, his Father Louis was the richest man in Nigeria. 2. The Biafran people levied its citizens and raised considerable sums from home and abroad. 3. Many members of the British ruling class who were Ojukwus personal friends invested secretly in the project. 4 France supported Ojukwu clandestinely to protect her oil interests. 5.The Vatican through CARITAS flew food,medicine and emergency supplies - some say weapons as well - into Biafra 6.For a long while Shell and other oil companies paid a part of their earnings to the Biafra government 7.Belgium sent mercenaries "unofficially" to fight for Biafra. Ever heard of Rolf Steiner, Goosens and others ? Ojukwu was no fool. He was a scholar of History and Classics from Oxford. He was the Chief Instructor and Strategist for the Nigerian Army. He weighed his chances against the Gowon regime carefully and he had excellent intellectuals on his side. The brainpower recruitable in Biafra could only be matched by the South West - and some factions of the yoruba elite were circumspect in their support for Gowon. The aim of Biafra was to carve out a state not to invade Nigeria, he could have made it. The war was won by Britain for Nigeria. At one stage Britain blocked the sale of arms to Biafra in the international market even though the funds were available. 6 Likes |
