****Did you just put up this comment for a response or the hangover is still affecting your sense of reasoning,you better wake up,the truth is that people like you will end up drown in your own vomit when the time comes,if truly you are from South south region of the country, remember what ojukwu told saro wiwa before he was killed"he met him in the prison and told him,goodmorning"that was when it was dawn to him that he was used to fights is brothers before they now executed him......try and read sometimes man,dont just spend your time playing nairabet..
YOU'RE THE ONE STILL ON HANGOVER. YOUR CREATOR HASN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF BRINGING YOUR SORRY ASS INTO THIS WORLD WHEN THE WHOLE SHIT STARTED, AND YOU ARE HERE ACTING ALL UP AS IF YOU KNOW WHAT WAS BEHIND THE BIAFRAN STRUGGLE. IF A WAR BREAKS OUT NOW, YOU GO LOSS ONE TIME>>>> IF NA TO MAKE MOUTH, NA YOUR OWN GO WIDE PASS....EDIOT!! YOU GET LUCK SAY I NO SEE YA FACE, I FOR GIVE YOU DIRTY SLAP!!!!! IN FACT, TAKE THIS>>>>>>

I've watched this video a number of times and the hypocrisy is mind blowing. I give props to Major Taffy Williams, my father fought alongside him on the Biafran side and he was a great motivator. It should be noted that mercenaries were used on both sides of the war, infact, Nigeria used far mor mercenaries than Biafra.

As Ojukwu rightly said in the interview "war is the price of freedom". Every war has one side that is fighting for freedom and another side that is fighting to take freedom away. When it comes to the Nigerian/Biafran war, every Nigerian knows which side was fighting freedom and which side was fighting to take that freedom away.

I'm happy that people like Gowon, Obasunjo, Buhari, IBB who all fought against Biafra and went on to be presidents are all still alive today. I'm happy that they all alive to see the faliure that same Nigeria has become.

Ojukwu has been vindicated, the Nigeria he fought againt turned out to be a monumental disaster, proving that Ojukwu was right to try and get him people out.
Aren't you Igbo?

Of course Nigeria is a complete faliure, look around you and tell me what is working? Nigeria can't even boast of a bigger economy than Belgium, a small country of just 10 million people.

Nobody is coming together to make anything work, it's not a must that everybody must believe in the same project as you.

SharkTank:


Nigeria is a failure. Unrest in 3 outta six zones. Recession. Tribal and religious discord. If Nigeria is your idea of a working system, the mediocrity of your type is the problem Nigeria is facing

I agree with u pple that the country is going through tough times.....so you are saying breaking away is the solution? We cant repair our own country again?

"its a victory for common sense". As a yoruba man that has lived in igboland land practically all my life, this is where i call home, these are whom i call my brothers, i pray they bury their hate and forget the past transgressions as we all work "together" for a brighter future...................

They will never forget any past... their heads and minds is filled with hatred passed onto them by their fore fathers... they think other Nigerians are responsible for their failure in life forgetting that everybody can never be successful.... the same way we have rich igbo people is the same way we have poor igbo people and in other tribes too..but some of these hopeless flattinos need someone to blame for their failure in life and they are quick to call awolowo, gowon, and curse hausa and yoruba for their problems.

If you can't make it in Nigeria, you obviously won't make it in your failed Biafra.. if you check, the successful igbos don't give two phucks about Biafra... the hopeless village goats and the ones who are used to corruption as a means of getting rich are the ones shouting Biafra up and down... whether they like it or not, Biafra will never come..it's dead and buried even before ojukwu died.

Common! The igbo caused their own down fall,dey should not have face any south west land! U expect Awolowo to be looking on while ibos face the western region during the civil war? If ojukwu had not overun Benin and Ore he would have won the war!

We might have have repaired, if we believed it was our Country. As an Igbo man, why would I want to help repair something that killed over 3 million of my fellow tribes men?

Why did the igbos co-opt unwilling tribe into their eldorado Biafra? If they were seceeding, why annexed the mid-west? It was an unforgiving error on part of Ojukwu and other Biafran leaders.
the book there was a country laid it bare ojukwu did not attack the mid-west it was the yoruba man he took under his wing against the wish of his advicers that carried out that action

It too lame blaming Banjo and exonerating Ojukwu who was Biafra's commander in chief. All of us read history regarding the war. If Banjo acted alone in invading mid-west as you want us to believe, then why did Ojukwu appoint immediately, Major Albert Okonkwo as military governor of mid-west? Guy, we know there might have been a gentleman agreement between Awolowo and ojukwu which can't be proven now, but don't re-write history by trying to paint Ojukwu as only a secessionist and not a conqueror.

and Yorubas as the liberators? Yorubas never spent a year in Nigeria's democratic history without pursuing some selfish agenda. I wonder who gave this holiest theory to you. Why were Igbos killed in the west before the civil war (don't say Akintola's death because common knowledge is that the generals liberated Yoruba land from the tyrant via a coup in which Yorubas were well represented). The coup is no more igbo's than yoruba's. It may be more proper to refer it a coup by concerned generals. Justify the killings of Igbo civilians and soldiers and then justify the war upon igbos when they moved away from the killing, in the name of one nigeria. No sincere historian will back nigeria to any extent. And when outsiders read write ups like yours, it only shows a great miseducation. And about calling adekunle, murtala, gowon, Buhari, obasanjo, ty danjuma national heros (how about hittler)

Federick Forsyth was a classmate of Ojukwu in Oxford so try to look elsewhere for unbiased account of the civil war
