(1) those comments were made, just as every other arguments are made and countered in every House of Assembly, I am not sure they were ever passed into Law.
(2) no offense I am from Igbo, from imo state to be precise, but how come off all d Nigerian tribes only us were singled out? The question to ask is is der sth wrong with us?
(3) this above has nothing to do with the war, I blame Ojukwu for it.
(4) the north has the interest of its people at heart before anybody whether one Nigeria or not, same with what would attain in igbo land if the reverse was the case. So I don't see any thing wrong with those comment.
(5) northerners choose ur words rightly and wisely, u never can know what tomorrow would bring.
u are an IDIO.T and ur state is FOOLIS.HNESS

Ena ofugara should stop being a hypocrite. The northerners have a right to determine how they want there region run. Its their land its their government. We should remember that at that time we had regional governments resources then belong to the regions not like now. Nobody would want to be dorminated by another in his territory. Where there northerners in the eastern civil service? Nobody should use education as an excuse. ahmadu bello was rite if u give them an inch they would want to claim everyting lagos is an example. Its only fair everybody protect his or her interest.

nice write up,,,please don't come here to complain when ever Biafra is mentioned because they are fighting for what rightfully belong to them.

My people were being killed in thousands in the north, an agreement was reached in Aburi to halt the killings, your nothern president gowon refused to implement the agreement and the killings of my people continued.

Ojukwu then declared Biafra, he didn't declare war.

Gowon invaded Biafraland and Biafrans have to defend their selves. Infact Biafra defeated them before the greedy British supplied Nigeria with weapon and aid, plus blockade by Nigerian goverment.

You people are ignorant who refused to acknowledge the truth.
The war wasn't necessary, Ojukwu knew he didn't hv d capacity to engage Nigeria in the war, y continue.
D only reasons y Biafran troops defeated Nigerian soldiers in the earlier stages of d war was because the Nigerian side was treating them with kids glove.
If I am a man and my family is about to get attacked if I don't beg one of my attackers, and I know d odds are against me, I wud beg so much, even reaching d ground.
Watching all the Biafran war videos pained me, not because of d ppl dieing but because it cud hv been avoided.

Dat war cud have been avoided.
If Ojukwu had let down his guard and submitted to the federal govt, he had a bloated ego and he used the gullible igbos as pawns. He knew all odds were against him instead of him to stand down he went on with the war.
I ve watched dozens of Biafran documentary, there was even a time that the Biafran southeastern region of Cross Rivers were been attacked by the Nigeria forces by water and air bombardment by I think Adekunle, after they defeated them the Biafrans retreated inwards, they reached a point that they were expecting backup. The backup never came because the people that were suppose to come to defend dem had given there weapons to the battalion battling one force at Onitsha, imagine d rubbish.
D general in charge sent ojukwu a letter dat him and his army were going to take d supreme sacrifice and they all did.
Ojukwu knew he wasn't prepared, y waste d lives of the innocent to proove a senseless point.

Igbos were nt wanted in Nigeria anymore. Aburi was d last chance and d accord reached at Aburi was broken by Gowon after he tendered it before his northern elders. U expected Ojukwu hu was d governor of d Eastern Region to keep calm and ask his pple to go abt their normal businesses?

U said u watched documentaries. Probably those done or edited by the British or Nigerians.


For the records, it was d Eastern perliament that mandated Ojukwu to pull out of thé Nigéria federation and form a sovereign state of Biafra.Ojukwu had d backing of the pple of the Eastern region.

The only regret was he was nt prepared for a war.His troops lacked weapons expecially at d early stage which was y Biafra lost its Northern, Eastern and Southern fringes so early in d war.

My father - a commander that came face to face with Benjamin Adekunle's troop at Azumini battle front which was d boundary of Igbo territory told me how poorly armed they were bt d share zeal, determination & trickery of his boys saw tgem resist d advancement of Adekunle and his boys for some time.

Ojukwu did nt brain wash anybody.The Igbos were determined to fight that war to d last. Have u seen that interview of dat beautiful young maiden during d civil war on youtube? She exhibited d Biafra spirit: "fight with our last blood".

Shut up!! Every monkey and Baboon want to give account of what happened during the war.

If not western countries, British and Russia in particular who supplied ammunitions and helped them, Nigerian wouldn't be existing by now. Nigeria had nothing, the biafrans were using their locally made weapons and held them for 3 years despite their foreign aids

You blame ojukwu, did Ojukwu declare war or did he declare Biafra?

Who invaded Biafraland before Biafra carried arm to defend themselves.

You people need to be taught. Ask an elderly man in your place what happened if truly you are an Igbo.
OK igbos got killed in d north.
D question to be asked was y?
And d answer wud tell u it was our fault.
D New regime is in place and Ojukwu is angry that he shud be d one ontop, since he is a much senior officer to Gowon.
D list goes on, even when they went to Aburi and the agreement wasn't implemented, a sensible man dat knows he is about engaging in a battle without weapons wud keep looking for the most peaceful way to settle disputes, but he cudnt see.

The reasons,why Igbos were singled out, are because Igbos are creative,they know how to make money and they are holding offices which northerners,due to illeteracy could,not man. Members of Northern house of assembly made it clear.
And By the way,You are not an Igbo man.

The hatred of the hausa/ fulani towards the Igbos is in their gene and the fact that Igbos are naturally gifted, talented, creative, hard working and Christians, has made it incurable.

We have to tell ourselves the truth, they have showed us in many ways that it's impossible to Cohabit with different tribes and different ideologies. Is the Igbos that don't want to learn.

Biafra restoration is important, infact it's compulsory. That's the only way you will enjoy your freedom and give hope to the future generations.



Biafra is not negotiable.
Biafra is alive in our minds.
Biafra is sure to come.

Biafra! Oh Biafra!
The dewelling place of God.
The land of the rising sun.

It doesn't matter what anybody thinks now. Ab initio, we know we are only needed in d zoo but not wanted. Freedom from allowing them to determine our destiny is all we seek.

I know dat, if Biafrans and Nigerians was at leveled ground in d war, leveled ground asin same weapons, same supplies, same support, after analyzing the war, d Biafran soldiers wud hv dealth with the Nigerian soldiers, but since it never happened, I still say that war was useless.

Ojukwu didn't share same views, Hitler who led d Germans to war, when the war got tough and he was loosing he drank poison and requested that his body be burnt.
Ojukwu who said he wud fight to the last drop left us to our fates while he and his family fled, it's quite funny.

This is jst a tip of d iceberge compared to what happened in 1966. My dad lost all his property in Kaduna where he worked then. The genocide was so intense that he trecked from Kaduna to Nsukka hiding in bushes during d day and walking at night.

I personelly believe the north is reaping from what dey sowed in d form of Boko Haram. I have no pitty for them at all.

And to those Igbos calling for Biafra in this 2015 u can see that there is no justifiable reason as at now for any government to grant us Biafra. We are nt under any form of torment or attack compared to what happened 1964-67.
Our fathers and grandfathers had paid d price for our survival as an Igbo race.Let them not observe from d great beyond how their children and grand children will suffer what dey suffered. They paid d expensive price so lets live in peace with our Nigerian neighbours
you are over myopic,,,,,,incase you meant what you typed,you are very wrong,is it in1966 that the Oba of lagos threatened the Igbos?

Igbos we are doing the wrong thing carrying on with this Biafra;
It's as a result of this Biafra and it's agitation dat the Nigerian govt and other Nigerians suspect us.
We can't be agitating for Biafra and be saying we want to produce president. Other Nigerians wud be suspicious of us because they would think if they give us the Presidency we wud use it as a plot to finally get our Biafra.
The Nigerian govt the highest investment the Fg has in our region is just few roads, bridges and universities.
They can't site a huge capital investment like a refinery, or steel complex, etc, because they fear that putting it der with our Biafran tendency wud be a risk ti there future so they prefer to sight it somewhere else.
Igbos we shud be smart.
