france brought your weapons via cameroon. thats where all your weapons came through
But Cameroon was blockaded. If weapons could pass through, surely food would passed through and millions would not have starved to death.

Great mind u av there! But, its still not developed enough if u really think someone in SW, NE, NW, NC is not developing something comparable or better!

U lost d last war not because of any tech inadequacies, but due to hunger! Achilles lost his life not because he couldn't fight or withstand war wounds, but he had his heels!

Naija govt is not helping everybody, no marginalization there! Instead, get private sponsors and possibly develop ur dreams in ur homeland, create employment for ur teaming jobless youths, make igboland a tech destination. Start a race on ur terms, some might decide to race with u, or change direction!
Nice advice had it been it was free of hatred. But one thing about hate is that it destroys the hater.

Dude just shut up...stop displaying ignorance
The ogbunigwe was a surface to air weapon converted to a surface to surface weapon and not a grenade launcher.
I won't be surprised if u are a flat headed toothless afonja

You are a very ignorant man ...first of all it was the Op that called it a grenade launcher ..okay let's agree it was a surface to surface missile ..from the design of the ogbunigwe launcher silo I see it was at most intended to fire a very short distance and very crude solid propellant rocket without much precision. .the silo was designed to fire it's munition in high angles just like a mortar..please Mr man can you tell me the kind of charge the ogbunigwe used that could destroy a whole division just like that..from perspective there are less than 3000 ruble fighters in Allepo and the Russians have been pounding them with great bombs and missiles for more than a year yet they are haven't been obliterated like you claim the Ogbunigwe did to a battalion. Man this Ogbunigwe story get as e be

No they didn't shut down the foundries, they did something worse off. Like nipping the knowledge at the bud,example stopping the Ogbunigwe arm of the unit by shutting down chemical engineering in UNN which was the unit that put it up. The record is there,that up till today there's nothing as chemical engineering in UNN(then regarded as university of Biafra) rather what is existent now is dept.of pure and applied chemistry. I'll engage with other of the facts if you so wish!

Ofcourse, ojukwu hired mercenaries from many parts of the world including Ethiiopia, gabon, Haiti and many parts of the world as fighters and strategists. That is not a point of argment.
They did not bring much or any significant technology with them. Nigeria was supported by both the east and the western powers. Any tech transfer would be confiscated by the CIA and co.
Even Nigeria is currently hiring mercenaries from south Africa in the war against BH.

ojukwu did not hire mercenaries. those mercenaries hired ojukwu. biafra was a proxy war for the west for african resources. deep down ojukwu thought he was fighting to liberate biafra but the people who are controlling the show ( the world powers ) were fighting for nigerian resources.

Lets analyze your claim. One truck carrying gasoline was aimed at, as a result over 100 trucks behind it ignited in inferno at the same time, incinerating all 100 simultaneously, is it scientifically plausible?
On March 31, 1968 a 106 vehicle convoy of
the Nigerian 2nd Division transporting 6000
infantry as well as armor from Onitsha to
Enugu was ambushed and decimated in the
town of Abagana by a small troop of Biafran
soldiers led by Maj. Jonathan Uchendu.
Homemade Ogbunigwe rocket missiles were
launched by the Biafrans at a tanker truck
carrying gasoline which caused an enormous
explosion that tossed armored cars like tin
cans.[10] 350 tons of equipment were
destroyed or captured by the Biafran troops

The west already had control of Nigeria's resources through shell and co, so I don't really know what conspiracy theory you are trying to spin.
It was the tomfoolery of gowon in not accepting the aburi accord that led to al this nonsense, not all this western conspiracy BS.

Cameroon shares a border with Nigeria, Cameroon was a French colony, France was sympathetic to Biafra. Please connect the dots.
Cameroon was then ruled by a fellow of pueblo (Fulani) heritage. He was sympathetic to the Feds hence the bakassi peninsula saga.why do you think the international court insisted Nigeria honour the deal? Cameroon honored their part by enforcing a no trade relation with Biafra.Cameroon didn't recognize Biafra as a country how then would the give weapons to biafrans? -next you would suggest french engineers where smuggled into biafra to build ojukwus bunker or perhaps it was smuggled by way of Cameroon and coupled in umuahia.the didn't even harbour our starving pals so brother,I have connected your dots.
last I checked this thread is a reminder for people of eastern heritage of what our people achieved durning a trying time,not a thread for other tribes to comment on our supposed cheast beatings.
as a young boy in aba I knew the boys of btc (boys technical college)produced guns before their equipment was seized .Engineering feats such as this is very possible and people would overcome their skepticism if the have visited the eastern towns of aba and Onitsha.

We only believe the version of the war the suit our tribe.

I will not totally believe any civil war stories because the person recounting it will do so to favor his tribe.

I learned something new today sha. Techpower vs Brainpower.

Ndi Igbo can abuse my tribe all they want but when I was in owerri, 70% of the consumables that I bought there were produced in the south west. I even bought 'my joy bread' produced in Ibadan at Alvan Ikoku college of education so imagine the marginal propensity to import.

Comparative advantage is key, tech wise the east might have comparative advantage but other tribe also have theirs.

its suppressed news. the whites suppress their roles in every war they have concocted on the planet so they dont look evil. thats why you think they are saints. because they hide all their evil deeds. hence why they control the media. he who controls the media writes the history. it was with astonishment yesterday that i found out yesterday that the huge radio station that daddy freeze works for in nigeria is owned by a white man. so a white man controls the media in africa ? no other country in the world would allow that. but hey ? we do not control our own news. but if you look below the surface, all the secrets are hidden. dats why yall need niggas like me. i look below the surface. i dont operate on emotions. i tell you what it is and how it is.

while at it you can post links on how France sent the ogbunigwe bomb to Biafra too.since those vehicles where imported from France deductive reasoning would imply that the French military would have used them at a point in time.u doubters should post pictures of those armoured tanks in service for France and also its name.The modular refineries -some of which has been adopted by crude thiefs in the niger delta-where also imported abi? pls we should thrive to be pragmatic and not biased in our posts.granted that some contents where probaly internationally sourced (like their navy modification of shell boats into gun boats) it doesn't in any way belittle the efforts of those guys.

thats not the point. its a fight between one faction of the west and another faction of the west. yes the west already had control but the french wanted a piece of the pie and biafra war was how they could cause instability so they can get a piece of the pie from america and britain.

bros, there's hidden potential in Igbo land. At the age of 27, I had already identified and extracted a diuretic phytochemical in a very popular plant that can help manage hypertension. My brother who is a chemical engineer is working on a local drug synthesizer. The molecule is going through preclinical tests, the government of Nigeria is not helping at all coupled with the financial setbacks we have had in coming up with the drug synthesizing machine.

If I have the then government of Biafra, you think I wouldn't have gone far with all the preclinical tests?
We may have dusted that part and even gone ahead to develop other drugs and machines because we know what we want but no fund, no functioning research institute, no facilities in the country.

Let me just hint you on the little contribution I can make if Biafra war should come again, I can developed biogenetically engineered microbes (which name i wont give here) that can degrade some particular metals, l know I will get a good platform to carryout the research because the fund is now available unlike the then Biafra (I'm already doing little things as regards that incase the war comes again). This time, you will see the full technological potential we posses.

Or just give us independence, lets plan ourselves, this country is annoying to me.

With all this metal scraps yet biafra still woefully lost the war, which simply makes technology not the sole means of winning a country backed by Britain and Soviet union.
If Biafra had built more of Airborne vehicles and rockets that could haul payloads and hit with precision, targets that are more than 100 km away in dodan barracks, Kano, Kaduna etc possibly the war could have been prolonged, if biafra had mastered the art and technology of building under ground tunnels with fish ponds , poultry farms, water purification plants, refined pharmaceutical plants , nuclear power stations, nuclear arsenals, nuclear powered submarines that could blow up all the naval ships of the invaders, biafra would definitely have won the war after just 6 days.


Any body promoting biafra must be a mad and insane person. Igbos should just be contented in nigeria
You self get mouth to talk... will your tribe be able to achieve those feat in a short burst of three years?
