Nigeria lost more than 500,000 soldiers to biafra


HUNDREDS of angry military pensioners in the country Monday besieged the Oyo State Secretariat saying they regretted fighting against Biafran soldiers to ensure the unity of the country. They said if they had known that the country would repay them in this wicked manner, they would have fought for the survival and sovereignty of Biafra.


The retired soldiers who spoke through their Chairman, Mr. Mr. Gabriel Oiakhena said, “we have been pushed to the wall. The families of over 500,000 soldiers who lost their lives in Biafra are suffering. We who are alive are just living as destitute. Many of us have died because they did not have money to treat and fend for themselves
Senator David Mark has spent about twelve years and he has done nothing for us. When the militants were pushed to the wall, they took up arms and fought with the last pint of their blood”. Also speaking on the issue, another ex-soldier, Mr. Olatunji Johnson said they came to draw the attention of Federal Government to their 53 per cent unpaid arrears and other allowances. To prevent breakdown of law and order, all gates leading to the secretariat complex were shut against the angry pensioners. Armoured Personnel Carrier, five police Hilux Vans and scores of armed policemen were stationed at the entrance of the secretariat. Displaying the injuries they sustained in the Biafran War and many placards condemning the discouraging attitude of the government, they said it was unfortunate that they were being treated in this inhuman manner after fighting for the unity of the country. He said their mission to the office of Governor Abiola Ajimobi was to present a letter on their plight to him for onward delivery to President Goddluck Jonathan. He said, “we will not allow the government to rest until our money and other entitlements are paid. Many of us are still being paid N10,000 as monthly pension while they are wasting millions over there. It is not fair”.

now listen very well,the biafrans that died during the war died in their fatherland but the 3rd marine soldiers that perished at owerri were mostly yoruba,who perished in a land they hated,never for all eternity get home,their bodies decayed in owerri while native doctors carried off their skeletal remains for fetish medicines.
Likewise murtala 2nd division men who perished at abagana and onitsha.they will never see home neither can they reincarnate,they are forever trapped in our enclave.their bones unburied,they can never rest.
Another yoruba brigade,navy capt makanjuola's men were eaten by the aquatic creatures of oguta lake when their vessel sank after two ogbunigwes were used on it.
As for lagos,YORUBA CANNOT DEPORT IGBO FROM LAGOS.
The only thing the average poor tribalistic yoruba can do is hate while your governor will soon make an igbo a commissioner.
My people make lots of money in lagos and come back home to build good houses.
The action of one slave make us abuse other slaves. igbo has never and will never win any war. Dont just console yourself, you lost a needless war, as for your deportation from lagos, we all know lagos is your holy land that every able bodied igbo must visit/ reside during his lifetime, we are still milking you, when you are useless you will know there is no "no man's land" any where again in the world.....bunch of economic refugees

Buffoons and chest beating as usual. You idiots won a battle to lose a war the only piece of memory you chose to hold on to is the battle that you won. Please what now happen if another war happens ? You will delude n excite yourself on plans to win skirmishes of the war "battle" while you lose focus of the big picture again ba ?

If not for the large heart n generosity of those leading the war front from the Nigeria side, every Nigerian should be taught this piece of history to expose the ridiculousness of the mockery you called a fight. The best effort of the Igbo nation to emancipate itself from Nigeria n not a colonial master vaporized within 3 pathetic years.

Do you have an idea how many years ragtag Charles Taylor children army fought before it could oust Samuel Doe from Liberia ?
Do you have any idea how long the Taliban has the fighting the superpower of USA UK Germany Australia etc ?
How about the war that brought Fidel Castro to power ?
How about that war that led to the separation of Ethiopia Sudan Yugoslavia etc

You shameless piece of shiit can not even secure your own territories from a non-sophisticated Nigeria army, how would you have coped if you are to face the British the way the Kenyans did to achieve their Independence ?

How does one brag shamelessly about being a loser ? Each & every Igbo that brags about losing the Biafra war needs to be put to death if you consider countries that that are not even one tenth of the Igbo population that fought till their goal of a separate state was achieved.

How Ojukwu betrayed, killed my father – Olayinka, Victor Banjo’s daughter
According to Mrs. Olayinka, “He (Ojukwu) conveniently blamed Banjo and three other men. Lt. Col Ifeajuna, Alele and one other for sabotaging the Biafran efforts.

“He needed to tell the people who were losing faith in him something new as a reason for the defeats. His fear about the imminent fall of Enugu was also driving him to do something.

“So, on trumped up charges, my father and three other men were tried by a Kangaroo court and killed by firing squad in 1967.

“The trial did not reveal any evidence linking Banjo with any act of treason against Ojukwu or the Biafran government.

“In fact, it took a second military tribunal to convict Banjo because the first tribunal stated that the evidence presented to it was insufficient to prove Banjo’s guilt in the case. Unsatisfied and not ready to let my father off the hook, Ojukwu constituted another tribunal speedily.

“Apparently, it was a clear case of sacrificing someone as a scapegoat because while my father was looking forward to assisting Ojukwu further with the Biafran war in spite of the huge risk and sacrifice involved for him as a person, Ojukwu was looking for a way of implicating him for sabotage so as to retain the control of the region. Ojukwu betrayed my father by killing him.

“Well, they were friends and friends disagree. They probably must have disagreed on that before then because my father never hid his patriotism. But again, I was told that hours after the execution, Enugu fell.

“I am a Professor. Human beings are very fickle. We are wont to always look for excuses. For scapegoats; so, my father was simply the sacrifice.

“He knew my father was up for one Nigeria. Even before drafting him into the war on his side, he knew my father was a patriot who wanted one united Nigeria.

“After the war we left Nigeria for Sierra Leone but my mother brought us back because my father, in his letters, had insisted we must be raised as Nigerians. So, his patriotism was never in doubt.

Ojukwu merely executed him to cover up his own failures as a leader of the war.

Eze Igbo gburu gburu when he was still Military Governor of the Eastern Region, before he declared the independence of his people.

Had Biafra succeded, He would have been one of the greatest statesmen ever born

It takes a man of guts to declare the independence of his people and fight the combined military might of Nigeria, Britain and Russia for 3 years

With his fathers wealth, he could have easily just relaxed and enjoyed the rest of his life not caring about anything, but he fought for his people and lost everything

Ojukwu was a rare gem
Hmmm! rare gem? pls how many of his relatives were among those that fought the avoidable war ? none I guess and over 2million souls were lost and he ran away to ivory coast and you called him a rare gem abi?

The man that saw tommorrow with little or no ammunition his ill equiped army wrecked so much havoc on the Nigerian military so much that Murtala Mohammed lost 95% of his entire division , first during his ill fated desire to cross the Niger river , secondlyy when a little known major Jonathan Uchendu used an improvised device (ogbunigwe) to dismantle and pulverise more than 98% of the 2 division at Abagana.

There is barely any Nigerian General that is not carrying or nursing wounds inflicted on them by the Biafran military.

With little or no weapon and barely any foreign support Ojukwu commanded an army that reduced the 3rd Marine Commando from its 35000 mand strength to bare 300 men .

The prowess of the Army commanded by Ojukwu was so much that Soviet Union that was backing the Nigerian Military became very embarrassed and disappointed with the outcome of the war, while Britain that could not save face backed Nigeria with enough ammunitions that woul destroy Nigerian 3 times
