My brother, stop arguing them blindly, they are correct and u are somehow correct too, so let me clear the air for u guys.

My uncle was one of the head of Biafran research scientists, he was an engineer with Nigerian Railway before the war broke out, so after the war broke out, Britain/US/Egypt/etc were angry with Ojukwu/Biafra for trying to divide British strongest African colony, so Biafra was blocked from receiving any military assistance from any foreign nation via sea or air, so Ojukwu summoned all welders, mechanics, carpenters, artisans, etc to put heads together and invent war weapons, artillery, machines, etc needed to make Biafra a self-sufficient nation in terms of technology.

Ojukwu then converted all Technical Schools in Biafra land to research centers where weapons and machineries were built.

Some of those Technical schools then had furnaces, foundary equipments, etc, and Biafra engineers reconstructed and remodeled them to suite their need.

Even BBC reporter that visited Aba in 1968 was wowed and screamed that a small black nation struggling for freedom has just built the first ever African made armored tank, and this was broadcast live on BBC and VOA, and the whitemen became even angrier with Biafra because they know that if Biafra succeeds in getting independence from Nigeria, they will sustain their war technologies and even advance like Germans did after 1st and 2nd world war, so they made sure Biafra lost the war.

So don't argue it, Igbos are highly gifted in terms of craft, technology and science.

While in primary school, my elder siblings in secondary school and those that just finished secondary school constructed a locally made generator using local materials, but our limitation was that the generator light was fluctuating and destroying bulbs, we couldn't solve the problem and we abandoned the project due to lack of money.

We constructed a lot of engineering stuff, from electric bell, to radio amplifier to antenna, to radio receiver, etc. We were just playing with technology then. That was around 1994.


It is rampant in Igbo land then for youths to construct engineering equipments for fun. If Igbos succeeded in having Biafra then, believe me, Biafra would have had her own national technology like China, India...maybe not as sophisticated as European and American techs

Paul Anber's essay "Modernization and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos" published in the journal of Modern African Studies vol. 5, No 2 (Sep, 1967) 163-179. See pp 171-172 for excerpt:
" '' A system of Universal primary education was introduced in Eastern Nigeria in 1953, though the mission schools had already prospered in the Region long before then. Despite the fact that there was a requirement for limited contributory fees, education continued to be very much in demand. Even at the time when universal primary education was first introduced, the percentage of the population over seven years of age who were literate was higher in the East than in any other Region: East, 1.6 per cent; West 9.5 percent; North, 0.9 percent. Since 1959, the East has had more teachers and pupils than any other area of the country, with the heaviest emphasis on primary education. Figures for elementary and secondary education indicate that the approximate ratio of teachers to population in 1963 was 1 to every 11,500 in the East, 1 to every 2,500 in th West, and 1 for every 10,000 in the north. Other statistical data reveal how rapidly the standard of living rose among Ibos. The East had the most extensive hospital facilities in the country by 1965, the largest regional production of electricity in the country by 1954, and the greatest number of vehicle registrations by 1963.

bros a beg! Is proforce owned by a Yoruba man? And is it a strictly Yoruba thing without foreign influence. I just wanna know. A beg! Nor curse my papa O! I be Yoruba boy O lol!

Kaysalas:

So u don't know abt d debate n u chuk mouth inside? HeheheHehehe, anyway, at least u dey reasonable enuf to know those things from page 0 were modified. Please tell that to ur brodas.. no hating!

somegirl1:


My disclaimer was actually for the benefit of your likes. Who know little or nothing and yet argue like they do. You were supposed to borrow a leaf.

Kaysalas:
now from you talking intelligently to talking foolishly. What makes you feel I know nothing about what I talk about? How many of my posts have you read? Even some igbos here on this thread have made concessions based on the points i have made here, and you liken me to those who know nada like you on this topic? I could school you on modern history(IGCSE level) and Nigerian history, and you'll get an A in your exams.
However, the one I don't know(no one is an island of knowledge) , I humbly ask. I don't chuk mouth into wetin i nor sabi! Sleep tyt my dear.... kisses

somegirl1:


Ditto.
Sleep tight.

Kaysalas:

U didn't answer my question? Is it devoid of foreign influence? Is it wholly indigenous in the true meaning if the word "indigenous"?

SlayerSupreme:


So this gibberish you wrote is the sabotage of Biafra from "within"? Go and pick up those books bro.

lilwill:


This all started when someone tried to correct come errors in the thread and y'all became insecure and defensive of what you felt was an abuse of your heritage. to me the truth is this, anything worth its salt in this world can speak for itself, just like christians don't have to defend God cause we believe He is the almighty and our defender and not vice versa
personally, i really don't care if some people built or didn't build war machines decades ago, i care about what they are doing now

aresa:


Chain reaction..lmao..

You people no go kille pesin with lafta I swear...

Kaysalas:

Now, you are reasoning well. What u wrote up there is what Africans all across d continent can build INFEPENDENTLY!

Deepfreezer:
next time u quote me speak like someone that fed on his mother's breast. Stop being sarcastic.

[b]Let me even further agree that france managed to sell weapons to Biafra in a hidden manner.[/b]It doesn't change much.
The bulk of biafran weapons were built in biafran land.
This is your FG attesting to that.

Kaysalas:
at your first statement... it shows our efforts to educate you hasn't gone down the drain. I mean, coming from someone whose posts here depicts his die hard tribal stand, I commend you for opening up your mind to sound reasoning, even if its just a lil bit. You try

Kaysalas:
pls bros, kindly provide us with titles or YouTube links to those videos if you can do the research for us, if not I don't meeting up with you to copy those videos so as to burst this myth from Saturn once and for all. Pls quote me when you do. I don't wanna miss it

cstr15:
My reasoning have always been the same backed by historical accuracy and FG collaborative opinion.
Biafrans built their own weapons.

Kaysalas:

Now we can all see how unstable you are. After clearing admitting France supplied you weapons, and I picked you out on this, you quickly revert back to : Biafra built her weapons. So what happened to the french weapons however little ( according to you) it might have been?

cstr15:
It seem you have a problem with comprehension. Most of those weapons in those pictures above are not French or even soviet. They are biafran.
Now I don't doubt the fact that france tried to smuggle weapons through, but it was pretty insignificant due to the very tight blockade.
Your FG has already attested to biafran technology. Don't disturb my mention again with envious afonja crap.

Kaysalas:

Hahaha! I leave u to keep wallowing in your baseless opinion.
This is the umpteenth time u r quoting the FG, d same FG who considered u inconsequential not too long ago. Food for tot: if biafrans could build all these in a war situation without naija FG help, how come up till now, in a time of peace, without the FG support still, u can't build jack? And please don't call inmoson, becos while we know he is doing a great job, its not purely biafran technology. Think my brother! Think!

cstr15:
smh.
who the fucck is this illiterate?

Kaysalas:

Hahahaha! I can most certainly predict your behaviour. Resulting to insults always when out of wit. U can keep calling me an illiterate(I doubt u know the meaning of the word, cos if u did, u won't be using it foolishly) but it doesn't change Nada, biafran indigenous tech is a myth...a bursted myth . Wished for d sake of africa , it isn't, but hey... truth must be told. Africans are till alien to independent tech void of foreign influence. Now, run along

cstr15:
look at this nigga. Talking about wits and yet arguing like an infant with a near -zero basic comprehension.
I am done with this thread. Afonjas talk too much, I don't.
