How come there are no documented accounts of this Biafran atrocities on a wild scare like the Asaba one? I'm not denying that atrocities were never carried out by Biafran troops... but on what factual scales were they done? Give me more balanced and comprehensive facts about these Biafran atrocities.

Who want to document rape, who want to remember how his son was murdered? Who want to exhume an unmarked grave of his siblings?

I did not read about Asaba massacre before it was narrated to me, I did not read about how the same people Biafrans soldiers killed systematically were also the saviour of their Igbo neighbours when the NA came marching into Benin, I didn't read about how some Benin's were locked up in Benin prison by Biafran soldiers and how the NA slaughtered all Biafran solders there and freed the inmates.

These are stories told by our older folks and are now corroborated by different writers, if your older folks never said anything about MidWest then you are all being deceived.

Despite all we forgave and EVERY single properties were returned to the rightful owners in Benin. Till the 90's there was a particular property in my cousins area that has no landlord it belong to an Igbo man who never returned, no one ever laid claim to it then.

Your brothers are still talking war. If referendum is what you want, let's start by all of you returning home and start the movement from there.

Oh really? Did Scottish people have to return to Scotland when Britain gave them referendum in 2014? No

Did British have to all leave Europe and go back to Britain when they had a referendum to leave EU in 2016? No


Did Nigerians have to leave any part of the world, including Britain, and return to Nigeria on October 1st 1960 when Nigeria got its independence? No

But when it comes to Igbos, that's when you know they should go back. If you wantIgbos to go back home, support them to have a separate country so they can have a home to go back to.

This fighting and killing each other for "one Nigeria" is pointless

I understand and respect your submission, may we never see war again... A referendum should be conducted and everyone should on that basis go their seperate ways peacefully.

The first step is by holding your leaders responsible for every clog in the wheel of your self determination.

Only these leaders can ask for a referendum but they are busy sharing monthly allocations and enjoying Abuja. The body language of your elites should tell you that they don't want to leave Nigeria.

The Ifeanyi Ubah's,Emeka Ofo,Cosmos Maduka's,Okorochas,Innoson,OrjiKalu,Ekweremadus and Co will never support your agitation because a united Nigeria will benefit them more.

If you really want to break away start from the inside,the problem militating against the success of the Biafra nation are the Igbo themselves... Not Benin,Yoruba,Hausa or Ijaw n Co but IGBOS.

It was Nigerian food. The same Nigeria you were running away from. It wasn't surprising that the rebellion ended when the food stopped arriving from Nigeria.

This shows that you lack knowledge. Nigeria that had a policy of starvation against Biafra. Nigeria that blocked air land sea borders against Biafra. Sorry man .

Oily brain induced reasoning (no thanks to excess consumption of high cholesterol diets) and basic understanding are indeed worlds apart. I was clearly making my point from Biafra as a sovereign nation (there's something called speculative deduction) you brain dead mo.ron. Of course any idiot knows Biafra isn't yet a nation as of now, neither is Nigeria at war in the actual sense of that word. Honestly you need to go have your IQ and reading comprehension properly evaluated before you come online and make a fool of yourself. That's why South West states are doing badly in education,with every yearly release of WAEC and JAMB indexes highlighting how your region drags last positions with war ravaged states in the North... low IQ, bad grammar structure, lack of basic understanding of figurative analysis are all pointers to someone seriously bordering on mental retardation and just plain stupidity.


If people around you are afraid to tell you that you have no common sense, I just told you for free.
If you eventually gain the suicide mission called independent, what business would Nigeria have engaging you in war of words talk less a battle, guy you no get sense se. Oti gor ju. Is it when ebonyi is busy fighting imo, or when anambra is busy slugging it out with nnewi you will have time to fight one real war. Lmao.

My issue with this incessant emotions post of these Igbo Op here is the victim drama they're playing

In the civil war, not only Igbo was victims of loss, a lot of soldiers died and other tribes living in Igbo land lost their people too. For the fact that they lost most which is expected because they called for it, they should let the sleeping dog lies and forgive forever


I urge Igbo to let love rule, play inclusive and liberal politics that would influence the federal govt to recognized the civil war day celebration.


If federal govt want to put this sit at home behind forever from this ipob then they should recognise a day to celebrate those that lost their lives during the failed disintegration of ojukwu lack of foresight plan

Mumu the Biafrans went on the offensive reaching as far as Edo but were beaten mercilessly blue black n beat a retreat beyond Cameroon. In every way you plan your war just make sure it succeed because if it doesn’t you will pay dearly for instigating another war.

Cjrane2:


I don't think the Biafrans want a war. BUT, the Biafrans MUST prepare for a war. You cannot merely expect a barbarian looting your homeland to give it up just like that. WHY would they give it up without a fight?

My only comment is that Biafrans should NEVER plan a defensive war as they did in 1965. They should plan on an offensive war that solely aim to capture the capital of their adversary.

Biafrans must imbibe the Banyamulenge strategy of Laurent Desire Kabila to take over the capital of your adversary, not waiting in the bush to be surrounded and attacked.

Yes pls do and also teach them that foolish Igbo slaughtered the then democratically elected prime minister like a goat n dragged his lifeless body on the stress of Lagos while you advice the bastard Azikwe who was the president to jet his coward self out of the country.

You then conclude that another set of foolish cursed Igbo killed the premier of northern n western Nigeria while you allowed that of eastern Nigeria to live n see if your children n their unborn children will not cursed the day your father gave birth to you.

Do we also teach them about the 1945 Jos massacre or the 1953 Kano genocide? Easterners were slaughtered in both circumstances

The killing of Easterners has long been going on by you Nigerians long before there was any coup

Frankdoz29:
never was their true reconciliation, if there was, why will the same government deny our people of their property in the name of "abandon property". Why will they hand us only 20 pound irrespective of our millions.
Why must will they divide us into south east and south South. Our father has fought the war and gone but we the children must continue until total freedom is achieved.

You are the greatest fool of all if you believe Igbos were handicapped in 1967 when Igbo had their largest number in the army compare to now where you have fewer men n even lesser access to strategic weapons.
brightokechukwu:

The last time was 1967,when the Igbos were militarily handicapped, technology wasn't at its golden stage, there was much access to sophisticated weaponry compared to now where every weapon can be gotten from every black market, and of course the fact that the East wasn't even prepared for a concerted military action etc... yet it took Nigeria 3 years and several hundred of thousands of Nigerian soldiers killed or unaccounted for to "defeat" a small Biafra, even with all the British and Russian support.

Now fast forward to 2019 when all the factors have evened out, do you really think the Igbos will suffer more of there's a war in Nigeria today? remember the ethnic dynamics that saw Nigeria get support from various tribes against the Igbos won't pan out this time, do you think Yorubas, Hausas, Fulani, Ishan etc won't suffer as much as every other Nigerian? I'm not in any way advocating for war, but you should NEVER use war of 1967 to rattle the Igbos of 2019...cause our generation is far more aware and ruthless. Don't be deluded mate.

So in other words, Lugard was wrong to bring us together since all we have been doing since then is killing each other since then?

So let us all agree to dissolve Nigeria and return as we were before Lugard came and stop giving each other head ache

That's what people like Nnamdi

Igbos had the officers, but majority of them were killed
In the July counter coup... Biafrans didn't have the weapons to effectively prosecute a war against Nigeria(it was just sheer determination and courage that made the war last that long) ... and the North always had more infantry soldiers than the other ethnic groups like we see today, read up about the war and stop sounding ignorant.

what is hard in allowing people decide their fate, Biafrans do not want Nigeria as q country..that was what caused the war.if Biafrans were allowed to go lives would be saved and both Biafra and Nigeria will be doing well as a country today.
But to show how backward and stupid Nigerians like u are..ure telling me igbos call for the war. if Ojukwu did not react he would be a bigger coward than Awolowo and all yoruba cowards born and unborn put together.
