TundeBricklayer: I'm not ashamed that Nigerian troops who boasts of having the highest peace keeping operations in Africa is getting help from allies after all one good turn deserves another,you to too ignorant to have an idea of International diplomacy and politics,why am I not surprised since u are a brick layer anyway, it doesn't matter how long it took contrary to expectation since they came out victorious anyway. All is fair in love and war so a food blockade is standard practice in war all over the world,and in saner climes like Japan for example your supposed heroes would honorably commit suicide than be losers who are now your supposed heroes,nothing surprises me anymore after the heroic welcome of the cross dressing fugitive general. Its good news to hear that the region is now the least in poverty and leading in every imaginable field of life but when I checked the statistics and indices of the region on ground it looked just a tad better better than South Sudan,charity they say begins at home or is it the other way round in the region? 3 Likes |

TundeBricklayer:Firstly, you don't know me and I don't know u, but because I have a dissenting view to yours, you call me a "rat"(lol), I could be old enough to be your father or uncle, the same way you could be old enuff to be DAT to me. But your lack of courtesy has led you, like every other patsy on NAIRALAND to address a fellow you don't know as such( see your life?) Secondly, you referred me to a book. Hehehe! Have you read the book? Sincerely? Did you buy the book or you borrowed it? Again, I maintain that Biafra invented NADA! Please read up on the profile of the nuclear physicist author of your book, and how he held several key scientific research agencies in Nigeria over the years, and STILL Nigeria still imports almost all of her munitions from abroad. Oh yeah, you are gonna tell me, he only wants to keep it for biafrans, yeah right! Even innoson cannot but include/involve the Chinese in the good work he is doing. Keep fooling yourself, the European and south African mercenaries (whites) had a great influence on biafran weaponry at that point. While it will be unfair to assume the nuclear physicist didn't contribute anything to the cause then, I think it is far fetched to say, he and other biafrans single handedly invented ogbunigwe. But then, we choose to believe whatever we want.... ** you don't even know the difference between career and carrier, And it's experienced not experience in the context in which you have used it. Shame, Now I have an idea of the kind of fellow I am dealing with 3 Likes 2 Shares |

This is my exact opinion. The day I visited the war museum in the east is the day I felt the wrong people controlled the affairs of Nigeria. Even now, they still try to recreate things and sell locally. In ABA, they remake clothing, shoes, etc without even the formal education. Ibos even have that mechanic turned manufacturer. For someone to use the limited knowledge they learn in mechanics to start manufacturing cars without the full formal engineering education, it shows if Ibos were who held the affairs of this country, it would have been farther than where we are at now. While they can boast of building weapons and remodifying broken military weapons while at war, all we can boast of now is how many outdated weaponry and military arms Nigeria can purchase. Recently while they can boast of making materials out of nothing, all our technology minister can boast of is making pencils. I've realized that the reason Nigeria is such a mess is because the wrong tribes took control. If Hausa, fulani and yoruba didn't control the affairs of Nigeria, we would have been farther than where we at now. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Iamgrey5:Believe me bro, they will tell you the Nigerian government is holding them down! That is the ready made answer. I even read somewhere that it was because of their ingenuity that the federal government closed down chemistry department in UNN. As if that in itself can prevent determined scientists from doing their work, if they want to, Ahswear! Many of dis people are irredeemable. Thank God, they are in the minority amongst the igbo ethnic group. 1 Like |

RandyLewis: I actually do not understand especially from what I'm reading, they haven't even visited the museum nor interested to visit. I don't get why anytime any other tribes is praised on their achievements on this website, it is always Yorubas trying to down put the achievements. Their level of jealousy to every tribe in Nigeria is bothering to self esteem problem. 4 Likes |

PrecisionFx:What is needed to develop a prototype? Shouldn't your eastern governors set aside money to develop prototypes from the knowledge of what you have already developed lying in your war museums? After developing prototypes, I am sure they wouldn't be short of sponsors worldwide wanting to invest in these very unique technologies, don't you think? |

EternalTruths: It's not just ibos they show their jealousy towards. I've seen them downputs the achievements of Akwa-Ibom, Deltans and Rivers. Any time any of the three are praised especially tribes within, the only people I've seen opposing the praise are usually Yoruba. I believe it's their insecurities. 6 Likes 1 Share |

kutchs:Ad a matter of fact sir, the igbos have almost always denied the existence of foreign help. Did you listen to ojukwu's speech before he ran away? The speech on how Igbo has overcome the technology barrier? You have always denied it or chosen to relegate it to the background, thank God for people like us who will always rise to expose falsehood, no matter what. **and yes, I agree with you on the necessity being a mother of "invention" part.

PrecisionFx: Of course mercenaries for hire is standard practice in war so I don't get why some ignorant dolts on this forum keep saying there was no external help on the Biafra side,even the Almighty US military acknowledged Blackwater mercenaries in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fact is Igbo's created a lot of things during the war not out of foresight but the need to stay alive as they say necessity is the mother of inventions and its not peculiar to the Nigerian civil war,Duct tape and Microwave oven were invented by Americans during the WW2 and even the internet we now all enjoy was invented by an American during the Soviet-US cold war and this are real inventions and not just weapon fabrication by Biafrans. Igbos are still building things on their own today so as Yoruba's,Hausa's,hutus,Zulus,Hindus,Asians,are also building theirs so its not peculiar to any tribe neither do I have to visit one yeye camp somewhere to see anything if they have actually produced anything breathtaking and worth its salt as I believe u didn't have to visit Palo alto before u started using Facebook that mark created,the world is now a global village and if their ingenuity produced anything worth its salt the whole world would be informed. |

CSTR1005: He gave you real facts and docs.Reaalities other than propaganda also showed that you did not produce anything before the war or even after the war more than the other tribes especially Yorubas that you have called out.Even regional system of government showed that you Igbos are not intellectually savvy like the Yorubas. The Yorubas developed in leaps and bounds until your jealous uncle started the unitary system of government which you are trying to run away from now because it has grounded Nigeria,even the mumu Northerners that think they are at an advantaged position with the 'bury Nigeria totally' system.Even in this modern time,Yorubas are still technologically better than the Igbos who should have used the war to be technologically better than anybody else.If Yorubas had gone through Igbos' experience,I am sure Yorubas would have built technological machineries never seen in Africa.This is my thought.All evidences showed that France,mercenaries built and brought in some weapons which had to be Biafranised with a few emblems and coatings.Biafrans were mainly used as labourers.This is a fact and you know but like to hide under falsehood like the 'father of the internet'...lol http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/03/05/biafra-the-facts-the-fiction/ And Ogbunigwe was not a product of Igbo ingenuity; it was a “bespectacled” American mercenary from Massachussets Institute of Technology, uncovered by the Irish journalist Donal Musgrave ,that was secretly training Biafrans on how to use fertilisers to make bombs (cf 13 August 1968 cable from American Embassy in Dublin to the one in the Lagos). 4 Likes 1 Share |
