This what people say when they have no superior argument. History is there and the fact remains that Gowon caused the war by going against the Aburi agreement he signed in Ghana

No you are wrong. The coup did not lead to the war. It was not the 'proximate' cause of the war. This is one error a lot of Nigerians believe which must be debunked.

Nigeria was already on the path of war even before 1966, violence was prevalent especially in Western Region.

What causes a war is the same thing that causes a fight, the inability of two or more people to reason like adults and reach a compromise that does not include fighting.

That was what Gowon and Ojukwu met in Aburi to avoid. The met, discussed for two days and reached an agreement which both signed. The went back home and there was peace. War became inevitable when Gowon could not live up to his side of the agreement.

The war was not caused by the first coup, it was caused by Yakubu Gowon.
The coup threw up characters such as gowon,ironsi,murtala,ojukwu,obj and co.The coup led to massacre of igbos and exodus of igbos to the east.This in turn led to aburi.It is a chain.

There are no words in the dictionary to describe the evil white people committed against Africans.

France and Spain did the same thing. Adolf Hitler used to mock France and Britain "for being so weak that they'll resort to fighting alongside their slaves". France never gave food to the African soldiers as a white man was not supposed to serve food to a black man. They had to resort to killing bush meat and eating it raw!!!. The video is below.

This's why I was explaining to some novices on this forum few days ago that Adolf Hitler loved them more than any other imperial power blackmailing him.

Here is a documentary on African soldiers abandoned in Burma by Britain during world War II.

Well done Explorer.

This Biafran soldier flogging a villager in one of the places they invaded and planted flag.

The Biafran soldier caught a rapist vandal muslim abooki soldier, stipped him naked and flogged him for raping and killing innocent women and children. Our yoruba muslim skulls know that's what happened but like always we will lie against Biafrans. grin

I wonder who the Biafran Soldier was beating up? Probably a captured Nigerian Soldier.

That's what they do to captured abooki and yoruba soldiers who went to their land to rape and kill innocent women and children in the name of 'one nigeria'. They flog them and lock them up instead of shooting them like abookis would have done. To be fair Biafran soldiers were more humane. We may like to deny but it is the truth.
