cheruv: Your prejudiced and demented mind conveniently overlooked the fact that Victor Banjo was murdered by Ojukwu with Ifeajuna, Agbam and Alile and not alone. Ojukwu killed them because they told him the truth to his face - the biafra hadn't what it would take to win the war- something none of his Ibo yes-men was bold enough to tell him. When he later discovered the truth himself, he decided to abandone his people to their certain deaths and flee in skirt and blouse like a woman. What a monumental failure ! What an extra-ordinary cowardly soldier ! What a shameful let-down and worthless leader. In saner climes, Ojukwu would've been executed for treason by Ibos but they venerate a failure as a hero which says a lot about their mentality. Gosh ! 5 Likes 1 Share |

WETINUSABI: For once, I urge you to stay away from Nowa Omogui craps. He was neither in Nigeria nor Biafra when the civil war was fought. To the best of my knowledge, he was not even a member of Boy's Brigade of any of the warring countries. |

PenSniper:Don't get tired easily Pour out all the venom you've, after all now its the only opportunity you've to do so till Nigeria divides. But lemme tell you something.... Ojukwu messed up by replacing Nwawo with Pancho as leader/commander of operation torch! If I were Ojukwu,I'd ve beheaded Pancho,dismembered his body and burned his bones over lime.this would send a clear msg that the national authority of Biafra would not be trampled upon. |

whirlwind7:How did banjo withdraw from Benin when he was the one who lead the invasion of Ore in Ondo State as instructed by Ojukwu after Banjo advised against it due to Biafra military being over stretched? Banjo lead the attack on Ore Ondo State but he lost and got pushed back. I have read several books were it is stated that Ojukwu killed Banjo because he was getting more popular & powerful & due to these Ojukwu was suspicious that he was going to overthrow him. Let look at it from this angle; how will a banjo coup succeed in Biafra when he is but one Yoruba fighting alongside mostly Igbo people and other South south tribes? How will he convince the biafrans to fight against Ojukwu when they see Ojukwu as their Messiah who saved them from the Northerners? Do note that every tyrant leaders have always killed people due to suspicion based on insecurity? Please tell me what happened after Banjo got killed? Biafra started losing battles after battles. Banjo was the main biafran military tactician who got killed due to lack of trust. 3 Likes |

Sir, please answer these questions as fair as possible. 1) Didn't Biafra used weapons and ammunitions gotten from foreign countries?.. Is there a law/ universal war convention which forbide using ammunitions from foreign countries? 2) Why did Biafra had to rely on the benevolence of her opponents, the Nigeria in getting access to weapons, food supply and other essential commodities for the survival of Biafra? 3) Did Biafra ever entered into an aggrement with her opponent, the Nigerian State NOT TO block her access to the outside world via the sea and land to ensure smooth supply of weapons, food and medications which the Nigerian state reneged , prompting Biafra to shout foul play? What manner of military leader leads his people into a war, basing their survival on the benevolence and magnanimity of his opponents? whirlwind7: |

For the Igbos that always accused the Yorubas of betrayal, this history has revealed who is the real betrayal. Igbos betrayed the faithful Yoruba man and killed him. 1 Like |
