“BIAFRA: The Consequences of Betrayal”

In the heat of the Nigeria-Biafra War, there was a Rhetorical Question Biafrans used to sing, like a song. It went thus: Is there anyone that will gain, if the Hausa/Fulani win? Why is it that each time Odumegu Ojukwu finishes working out his strategic plans, some people decide to sabbotage him? No one whatsoever will gain anything if the Hausa/Fulanis win” That was the song! Today, the singers have been vindictated. A few examples will surfice:

1. S/East Ibos have the LEAST number of states in Nigeria. They are the most marginalised in terms of Federal appointments, and infrastructural development.

2. The S/South zone lost Bakassi to Cameroon for supporting Nigeria.  80% of the Oil-wells in the zone are owned by the Hausa/Fulani that they supported, and bear the brunt of environmental pollution from oil operations. Issac Boro and Ken-Saro Wiwa also paid their dues.

3. Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle of the S/West who led Nigeria’s 3rd Marine Commando to Blockade Biafra economically was DISMISSED from the Nigerian Army that he suffered for.

Awolowo who led the Yorubas to team up with the Hausa/Fulani against the Biafrans did not get the Presidency the north promised him for doing so. In frustration, he comitted suicide with N20 worth of RAT POISON; representing the twenty pounds he gave to Biafrans in 1970 as Finance Minister.

4. The Benue-Plateau people who formed the Backbone of the Nigerian Armed-Forces against Biafrans have been getting their Pay-back from the Hausa/Fulani. Majority of their key-officers in that war have been sidelined into oblivium. Their several attempts at Military-Coups were met with humilating defeats. Even their son GOWON who led Nigeria in that war against Biafra was ignominously booted out of office in a military coup by the same officers he commanded in his Anti-Biafra campaign.

For long now, people of that same zone, particularly the Benue-Plateau axis have been suffering from the Hausa/Fulani-Led genocide which they helped to perpetrate against Biafrans. Cases of being used and dumped. Currently, Prof. L. Mohammed of Northwest University, Kano has stated in a public lecture in Kano that Benue State BELONGS to the Fulanis by RIGHT OF CONQUEST!! The list is endless.

What a PROPHETIC Song by the Biafrans in those War-Days! What an IRONY of hisory!

Biafra was an igbo only affair, so why did Ojukwu and his rag tag army march towards South West instead of North?
Moreover the other minority tribes in the then Eastern region didn't support biafra. They made it clear they would rather remain Nigerians than be subjected to slavery under Igbos.

Or you expected Awo and Adekunle to fold their arms while Ojukwu and his minions enslave Yorubas?
You expected us to keep feeding you so you'll have the energy to kill us?


If atal you're serious about biafra, you'll head home to develop your 5 SE states and then push for referendum. Ranting online won't change anything.

They are nomadic by default..

They can't have rest of mind till they run to South West and North.
No roads, no light, no jobs, nothing in their shi.thole enclave. I wonder what their future would be like.
