A point to make here is that during the civil war, the then Colonel Benjamin Adekunle (Black Scorpion), as one of the three war commanders, was ruthless or very cruel in carrying out his military campaigns. But what will he be most remembered for? The remarks he made during that fratricidal civil war. The New York Times of May 20, 1968, in page 1, col. 7 wrote: On May 17, 1968, Col Adekunle said that he has besieged thousands of Biafrans inside the city of Port Harcourt "with no escape route except to jump in the water”. In another interview with reporters on July 14, 1968, Col. Benjamin Adekunle termed all relief plans for Biafra as "misguided humanitarian rubbish". The Sunday New York Times of Sept. 8, 1968, quoted Col. Adekunle, in answering a question about Biafran relief, as having said rather pompously: "I want to see no red cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary and no U.N. delegation. I want to prevent even one Ibo having even one thing to eat before their capitulation." On another occasion, Col. Adekunle told the interviewer that in Biafra, "we shoot at everything that moves", and in response to another reporter’s question about how he would treat Biafrans when he gets into the "heartland of the Igbos", he replied "Then we shoot at everything, even things that don’t move." 4 Likes 2 Shares |

The Biafra issue isn't like the Catalonia or Palestinian issue. The worlds medias know about it and are pinning it all on "Bad governance". BBC said they are protesting for a "Better Nigeria", The economist said the protest was fuel by politicians and bad governance. They equally mentioned Boko haram and the militants. The real concern is not alleged government brutality but poor governance. Despite huge oil wealth, Nigerians were twice as likely to be poor in 2010 as they were in 1980. Frustration is not confined to the south-east. Poverty and joblessness have driven conscripts into the arms of Boko Haram terrorists, who want to establish a caliphate in the mostly Muslim north-east. Insurgents battled for self-rule in the Delta until they were paid to stop. Over the years, too many of Nigeria’s politicians have been too busy filling their pockets to think of solving the common underlying problems, ignoring them until they got out of control.The world are not really in sympathy with you, It is unlikely for you to even get your Biafra soon because they have been an unlikely change of government. Buhari just has to prove he isn't like the past leaders and the UN would shut your Biafra mouths. 4 Likes |

Idrismusty97:is that all you saw? Anyway the argument is flawed because it doest explain why Biafrans abroad have as much interest in her restoration as those at home BTW, bad governance contributes a lot. But like most write-ups pointed out, the duo of injustice and incompactibility as major factors that trigger pro biafran agitation can't be wished away. 4 Likes 1 Share |
