They unleashed a massacre. We tried to contain them; they unleashed a second wave more vicious than the previous one. I looked upon the situation, did the best I could for our people who were scattered all over Nigeria. I said okay, this is our boundary. If you can find your way back to within this area, whatever there is within this area would be shared amongst all of us. You have as much right here as anybody who happened to be here. That actually is another way of seeing the declaration of Biafra and they had a goal and aim in their flight. The other thing to bear in mind is that we didn’t really wage a war. What we did was resist Gowon’s coup d’état and I hope that he would enter the Guinness Book of Records as the person who has waged a coup longer than any body else because the whole three years, he was actually trying to legitimize his coup. 9 July, 2001, as quoted by Rudolph Okonkwo, My Last Interview With Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu - Rudolf Okonkwo, Sahara Reporters (26 November, 2011) We do not ask for pity. We make no apologies for the social phenomenon known as the Biafran revolution; rather, we proclaim with pride the inevitability of our struggle, the indestructability of our people, and the assured finality of our success. We are humans. We live. We fight, fight because the decision to be free is a decision taken freely and collectively, because to become involved in violent struggle for freedom is the only honor left to an oppressed people threatened with genocide, because in the final analysis the only true bulwark against death is to live. Biafra rejects death…Biafra lives. The worst thing about Nigeria is that here is a nation that has so much potential but the only problem is that everybody seems unprepared to face the problems or the realities of the Nigerian situation. There is absolutely no way you can look at the Nigerian federation, the way it was conceived, and say it is a good federation. One of the federating units is bigger than the other units. The other thing is that everything that has worked in Nigeria, or appears to have worked, seems very much to have been an imposition. The idea that sovereignty belongs to the Nigerian people is all fiction as far as Nigeria is concerned. I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds, We are ready to defend our homeland. Fellow countrymen and women, on Aburi We Stand. There will be no compromise. God grant peace in our time. 5 Likes |

At some point your father was the richest man in Nigeria and you sacrificed your fathers wealth for the freedom of your people when your people were being massacred all over Nigeria and you declared biafra as a safe haven for your people and after Nigeria reneged on ABURI accord . The reason for which you fought is still there and your kids and your grand kids have taken up from where you stopped to actualize your dream of having our home land Biafra for Nigeria hates us and not for us . You warned Nigeria after the war to take care of Biafrans fairly otherwise the Biafran Kids will grow up and demand for Biafra and that is exactly happening and this time Biafra must surely come because NK and his team is approaching it with more wisdom . 3 Likes |

Omoodua007: Yoruba land was already annexed, Ojukwu was coming to free them. You mean the same Yoruba land that the Northerners went to Ibadan and killed the Yoruba Military Governor of the Western Region, Lt Col Fajuyi The Northerners then marched down to Lagos and chased away the Yoruba man who was supposed to be president, Brigadier Ogundipe, and replaced him with a junior ranked Northerner called Gowon. Yorubas could do nothing as the Northerners held them hostage in their own land. Had they been people who had any shred of dignity, they would have chased the Northerners out of Yoruba land for desecrating Yoruba land in such ways. But Yorubas had no fight in them What is worst is that when the same Yorubas, who could not fight for their dignity, see Ojukwu, they call him a coward even though Ojukwu stood and fought for 3 years. Yorubas who should be ashamed that Obasanjo and Adekunle were busy fighting for the North rather than Yoruba land. Ojukwu fought for the freedom of his people, Yorubas will never be able to produce an Ojukwu who will fight for their freedom 3 Likes |

gidgiddy: This is from the studios of Chinua Achebe Yoruba land was never annexed I know you all come up with this story to help soften the impact that you lost a war Lagos was the FCT so it’s natural for FG presence just as we have Abuja That said You tried to annex ore and not one inch of land was lost The ever gallant Yorubas army sent a strong message to your leaders who boasted Yorubas were cowards The Ogundipe story is about the first military coup not the civil war so stop lieing to yourself Yoruba land has never been conquered We may have fought and won and lost but we were never annexed Can’t say the sane thing for Ipob that has now been reduced to powerless majority |
