Thanks kingzizzy
However from brigadier Alabi Isama's book, I got it from there that the propaganda machine of the Biafran government made the people flee into the bushes when in actual fact the third marine commando was trying to liberate them that was after Ojukwu rejected the Federal Government's proposal for food to pass through its corridor for proper checks.
What will you say about that kingzizzy?

How can third marine commando be liberating those who have already declared their own freedom and independent country?

Third marine commando was only fighting to take the people back into Hausa/Fulani controlled Nigeria. That is not liberating people, that imprisoning them

This topic had been done and dusted many times on and off this forum.
Yet every now and then, Yorubas we would raise this dubious letter that had long been debunked, all for the sake of their propaganda.

Well, you can open a million threads on this topic in the future, but be rest assured that I personally would be there to debunk your lies.

Hahahahahahaha funny comment. In the book pictures were shown of well fed Biafran officers while the citizenry started. When the 3MCDO troops got there, they fed the citizens even with their own ration of food. This was all supported by pictorial evidences in the book.

Ojukwu did everything humanly possible to avoid war. When Igbos were first massacred in the North and they started running back home, Ojukwu asked them to go back in the spirit of 'one Nigeria' only for them to killed in larger numbers later.

While many Igbos were being killed in the North, Ojukwu ensured the safe return of all Northerners in the Eastern Region.

Ojukwu went Aburi Ghana and signed a peace agreement with Gowon. Gowon broke the agreement.


Ojukwu did all he could for peace but Nigeria did not want peace

Nigeria used starvation as a weapon of war and this policy is highly condemnable. It is today regarded as a war crime to do this.
We all know your brain is in your pocket. Even if God reveals the truth. Your brain will still not take it. Well, continue with your ignorance. We are enjoying it.
