prince9851:The reason for Biafran agitation was reasonable and the people were resolute but Ojukwu didn't trust his comrades or soldiers hence the release of ammo in piecemeal( the Nigerian civil War and the Biafran Revolution by need Madiebo). The war largely failed because of Ojukwu's self preservation quests. |

IamaNigerianGuy: My brother, in war something has to change the course of the battle. It is acceptable to muster your support from anywhere to pursue your goal in war. In war, the ends justifies the means. Don't also forget that the winner takes all. Forget what Gowon said, "no victor, no vanquished". It is a rhetoric to keep the Igbo's with the rest of Nigeria! I am very indifferent about cession...I believe people\nations should have right to self determinism. 2 Likes |

decatalyst:It's more than perception. Multiple reports has it that ibos were coming back from the north in body bags. Mind you, no body killed ibos in the west, but the north, that led ojukwu to famously say "if you can find yourself in Enugu or cross the Niger into onisha, you are in fact safe". Little did he know that you win a war by waging it and not by being defensive. 1 Like |

[quote author=KidsNEXTdoor post=56718033] You join hands with friends and like minds And not with foes with different cultural religious differences It leads to chaos... Underdevelopment .. Hunger.. All the indices you see in Nigeria today Nigeria have been hell on earth A den of injustice An epitome of corruption A historic mistake The onus is on all of us to rectify this catastrophe and Balkanize this country We have nothing in common [/quote with all this grammar of your even if igbo should again an independent nothing good will come out of it.Check very well |

decatalyst: After the 1966 coup and the counter coup and the Kano and Zaria pogroms, war was inevitable. The grievances on both sides were too deep. Ojukwu had to accede to his peoples demands else he would have been removed. He was a hostage of historical forces. The British facilitated genocide. It would not pass today. Remember Professor Bolaji Akinyemis statement " ...the civil war was fought at the right time for Nigeria and the wrong time for Biafra..." . Also, Johnson was busy with the war in Vietnam, tackling the Civil Rights Movement and struggling to save his crumbling presidency; else American intervention might have altered events -we will never know. The weaker side does not necessarily lose in war. See Vietnam and Afghanistan for example. 1 Like |

Youngadvocate:if u like u can propaganda till you die.. do not go and start restructuring the south east .. do not go and start building infrastructure in the south east. kwontinu trying to dissuade people from the unavoidable.. nigerian government is ticking many time bombs.. not only biafra.. but other ethnic greviances exist.. they should kwontinu stealing bribing killing and using police and soldiers to suppress citizens.. they should continue paying oluwole journalists and e warriors to flood every social media and news papers to spread their properganda.. even tb joshua is tired of this thing we call nigeria.. we want change or let d common people who suffer d brunt of all these injustices sit and decide their destiny and their future themselves.. i am sure we all know what the outcome will be.. |

I am an easterner from UDI LGA in Enugu state after reading accounts online from great men on Biafra and 1st hand information from my grandfather who served in the biafran army ,Ojukwu led his people to suicide.He wasn't really prepared for this ,who goes to war without sufficient armour or Ally's .I still don't see ojukwu as any hero |

decatalyst: Because that was all they could afford. If 50k of ur people are massacred, you will fight with bare hands. Igbos are not cowards. Besides, i dont think any other tribe would have behaved differently. Fight or be trampled upon. It is called standing up for oneself. |

laribari: you guys should quit trying to mock people or their rationale for going to war. You did not experience their persecution nor pogrom and cannot understand their rationale better than them. You can castigate (or brand as foolish) the modern day Igbos but not those who took part in the Biafran War. |

decatalyst: Niqqa had only 5 phucking bullets? WTF! Did they think they were playing police and thief game? He wasted his 5 bullets shooting at what exactly? I suspect he was chasing antelopes with his bullets. Ojukwu just put these people into unnecessary misery.
