O please, stop being biased. The biafrans also had foreign support. Google is just a click away


O .

Yes Biafra government then hired some foreign mercenaries who asisted them but Britain and Egypt government openly backed and supported Nigeria against Biafra and even supplied them with weapons, trained special pilots for them because back then, Nigeria had no trained pilots. The few trained pilots then were from Biafra and they have all fled back to Eastern Nigeria so Britain supplied Nigeria with trained pilots.

British air raids helped Nigeria gain ground against Biafra because Biafra didn't have air power which Britain supplied to Nigeria.

Britain did Biafra bad

It's still a failed invention since they didn't get the biafra they crave for. I just pity this generation of Igbos disturbing the social media with threats of biafra when war couldn't bring biafra. Instead of fighting for igbo presidency, they are looking at a biafra that will never come

Igbo presidency my foot, majority of Igbos would rather have a a restructured Nigeria, otherwise it's only a question of time and BIAFRA will materialize

After visiting www.denel.co.za (the South African arms producing corporation turned company) I believed South Africa was the only hope for Africa becoming a superpower not knowing that Biafra (indigenous Africans) would have made us proud. Could you imagine what they ingeniously produced back then in the 60s

“THE IGBO TRIBE AND ITS FEAR OF EXTINCTION

The Igbo tribe is in a serious problem and danger of extinction for the following reasons:

50% of Igbos are born outside Igbo land. Meaning that those children are not likely to live and work in Igbo land and cannot speak Igbo language but foreign language (Yoruba, Hausa, French, English).

40% of Igbos girls between the age of 25 & 45 are single with no hope of marriage because 35% of Igbo boys live overseas and they have all married white ladies.

75% of Igbo youths leave Igbo land every year in search of opportunities in Yoruba, Hausa land or overseas.

85 % of Igbos have family houses and own investments outside Igbo land. They strongly believe in one Nigeria but failed to know that NO Yoruba or Hausa man has a family house or investment in Igbo land.

Igbos are the only people who believe that living outside their land is an achievement.

Igbos are the only tribe that celebrate their tradition outside their land e.g. Eze Ndi Igbo, Igbo Village in America and this is because they have family homes in foreign lands.

Igbos have failed to know that the children you have outside Igbo land especially overseas will never think of living in Igbo land. So what happens to the properties you are building for them when you are gone?

Igbos are the only tribe who see their land as a place to visit or a tourist site than a place to work and live.”

Where did you.get your statistic from

Do you know how many Yorubas were born outside Yoruba land? especially in the north?
Even in the South East they are living and working there (I saw them there and we spoke Yoruba together and we were happy to see each other)

It's the same for aboki too

You know how many aboki live outside abokiland? (note that you cannot call Abuja abokiland, they are gwaris)

Lastly your assertion that NO Yoruba or Hausa have properties in the South East is not TRUE

HajimeSaito:


Can you beat this? 100% Indigenous brilliance and technological advancement. Biafra would have been a real life Wakanda if it had been allowed to flourish. Instead its potential was betrayed.

Now we find ourselves in a country which is run by agbayas who defile little girls in the name of marriage and kill people for cows and their loyal servants who mine skulls for a living.

Africa could have looked to Biafra and found hope.

What a loss.

greed was the weakness

franchasng:
you are an illiterate tout, now listen let me educate u once and for all.

In 1966 some aggrieved young soldiers, mostly of Igbo decent, headed by Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu from Okpanam village in Asaba agreed to topple the then Nigerian federal government led by Tafawa Belewa and Nnamdi Azikiwe. What was their reason to topple the government

They accused Tafawa Belewa of being a religious fanatics and a tribalistic leader favoring only the northern Muslim side. Remember, Nzeogwu was born and brought up in Kaduna so he was more like an Hausa boy with Igbo lineage, so he understood the Hausa terrain and leadership mentality more than any other back then.

The young soldiers preferred Chief Obafemi Awolowo whom they saw as a better, detribalised leader jailed by the government then, and serving his jail term at Enugu prison.

Their intention was to remove Tafawa Belewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Akintola Williams and others and then release Awolowo from jail and make him the president of Nigeria for a better Nigeria free of tribalism and religious discrimination

Unfortunately during execution these young soldiers allowed their family and tribal sentiments to becloud their judgment and they ended up messing up the coup by killing only northern and few Yoruba politicians, officers.

This made the northern soldiers to see this as a tribal coup targetted at killing northern politicians, so they started plotting a counter coup.

An Igbo man foiled the coup still, and at the end, Maj. Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi being the highest ranking Nigerian military officer then emerged as the first Nigerian military head of state, aka military president if we are to equate it with today name.

Ironsi was warned by Ojukwu and other Officers who knew the danger ahead as T. Y Danjuma led a counter coup to topple Aguiyi Ironsi government. They succeeded in killing Aguiyi Ironsi at Ibadan with Colonel Fajuyi the then western governor.

There is no issue with this, it is normal....it is a military and political affair, so killing and removing Aguiyi Ironsi and other Igbo Officers to topple his government isn't bad based on the first coup.

But where the problem started was after Aguiyi Ironsi was killed and removed as Nigeria's president, northerners then saw it as a victory over Igbos, so they began an unprovoked killings of Igbo people and Niger Delta people living in the north just because they killed an Igbo president, what nonsense is that

When Tafawa Belewa and others were killed in the first coup, did Igbo people go about killing northern civilians in celebration NO! So why involve innocent civilians living peacefully and happily with u in your communities

What broke the Camels back was Gowon's silence over the killings just as the current president is doing with Fulani herdsmen massacre of Middlebelt people today.

The killing was so much, and trust Igbos, they don't take nonsense from anybody, they began to hold meetings even in campuses and palaces seeking for a way out and these pushed Ojukwu to summon a meeting of Igbo stakeholders at UNN Nsukka Enugu to discuss the way forward and right there, Igbo stakeholders, students, artisans, traders, market women, scholars, etc gave Ojukwu the then governor of Eastern Nigeria the go ahead order to declare Eastern Nigeria independent from Nigeria due to the government backed pogrom against Biafrans.

Gowon agreed that Biafra should go but Britain called him and cautioned him and instructed him to order Biafra to return to Nigeria or face military action.

At this time, Biafra knew there was problem as Gowon ordered a Police action to return Biafra back to Nigeria and the war broke out.

First shot was fired at Cross Rivers state between Biafra and Nigerian soldiers.

Try and be reading and stop arguing baselessly without facts okay

blalablabla......then go and topple buhari today because you no like him...nonesense....

If not for the blockade of eastern Nigeria by the British n the steady supply of cash, weapons, medical toolkits n mercenaries by the British n her allies, Biafra would not just win the war, but win in record time.

At least, we both agree both sides had foreign backing, openly or covert. I just had to point that out because I see a whole lot of igbos highlighting Nigeria's foreign back up and relegating theirs to the background. Do av a nice day or night, wherever you are.

Not only because they didnt get biafra but that the invention failed to change the course of war. They were better off without it.

Reason America took out Iraq is because Saddam did not have nuclear. They are hesitant on attacking Iran or N.Korea.

Weapons are meant to deter and where detterence failed to teach, demolition would.

Thats what happened in Iroshima. Japan failed to be deterred by American weapons. They paid a price.


That ogbunigwe never worked, its a dud!

Indeed, in Biafra, Africa and the black man died!! Imagine how technologically advanced Biafra became within a very short while despite the combined forces of Britain, Russia and Egypt as well the rest of Nigeria that ganged up against Igbos yet we were able to hold them off for three years and even inflicted severe losses on them in the Battle fronts but just like the shameless cowards they are, they had to resort to blockade by telling the British to block the Bight of Biafra and dashing Cameroon the Bakassi peninsula as incentive for them to deny Biafra access to the world through their own end!! Millions of innocent Biafran kids died of starvation and we had to surrender. Now look at them today, from the north to the south and west, is just filled with misery, killings, poverty, hopelessness, destruction, backwardness etc. The worthless country has country has continued to retrogress indefinitely while the rest of the world including other African countries has now left them behind. The only story we keep hearing about the North is killings and destruction, Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and so many other terror groups that keep springing up on a daily basis!! The north is today the most fertile ground in the world where Islamic terrorist cells can recruit foot soldiers with so much ease!! Cursed and hopeless country!!!

Honestly, it's either you are a kid or adult with low IQ. Do you even understand what a blockade is? Let me inform you Incase you don't know, Britain used frigates and naval warships to block the Bight of Biafra while Nigeria gifted Cameroon with Bakassi peninsula to ensure that Biafra did not import anything at all, including food, arms, medical equipment etc and along with a no fly zone across Biafra, the blockade ensured that millions of kids died of starvation and lack of medical attention. Who told you that our food was coming from the north?? During that period, the East was self sufficient in food production. No region or country ever survived blockade, you can google about the WW11 and the siege on some Russian regions as well as the Yugoslavian war that led to mass starvation and deaths of the besieged people. Facts released by wiki leaks shows that Britain knew that Biafra would roundly defeat Nigeria if they failed to intervene. The defeat of Biafra by these combined evil forces was a triumph of bad over good, mediocrity over excellence, progress over backwardness, imperialism over Africa, Whites over Blacks (because the same way we have technologically advanced countries in Europe, America and Asia is just the same way we would have had technologically advanced countries in Africa today if Biafra had succeeded. Have a look at the faces of those men in the first page picture and see the determination in their faces as they carried those Biafran inventions, and to show how amazing it is, this was way back in 1960's!!!

Shame no dey catch you? Do you know how many decades it took North Korea or Iran to develop nuclear weapons?? Yet you want Biafra, a country that was under severe attacks and aerial bombardment right from the moment it was declared to develop nuclear weapons within a few weeks?? Do you even know that it was sheer ingenuity and uncommon determination for Biafra to have developed such weapons of mass destruction at such a time?? Do you even know how the North was during that same period that you had to import virtually everything from arms down to mercenaries from Egypt to fly your bombers that were freely given to you by your colonial masters despite having significant numerical advantage of having the rest of the country fighting the Igbos??

If war is what u desire, u will sure get it and before u start to recount the previous war of 1967 - 1969, go back and reqd my facts on why another war will be deadly on both sides more than it was in 1967 - 1969.

Be carful of what u wish.

Countries divide peacefully all over the world when the various elements that make up the nation refuses to unite, adapt, accept each other, treat each other equally and prosper as a united nation.

Or do u prefer these incessant killing of some minority tribes and some tribes in Nigeria by the tribe whose people are in position of authority

These incessant killings without government doing anything meaningful to stop without passing blames here and there was what triggered the first Nigerian civil war. Its just that Middlebelt people don't have gut to confront Hausa-Fulani man to man because if it were Igbos being massacred anyhow, everyday like its being done to Middlebelt people, Nigeria will be feeling the heat by now.

So stop seeing Biafra as a threat to your life, nobody is threatening war okay

We love u guys and want u to have some peace as u know we Igbos are very troublesome, we disturb u people a lot and tarnish your good image a lot. We want u to be free of Igbos and their wahala so u can live happily with your Hausa-Fulani best friend

Absolutely spot on.

what is Igbo presidency

You want Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba alliance of sophisticated corrupt politicians to connive and handpick their fellow corrupt thief like Rochas Okorocha, etc to act as Igbo person and they make him President so they can then go back and frustrate his government using every available tool so that you lot can then come online to beat your chest that you said Igbo people are the worst to rule Nigeria after all the noise they had been making right

I pity any Igbo man that will become Nigeria's president under this current Nigerian arrangement and structure, that person will be better as a pauper than lead this destroyed, frustrated Nigeria.

Igbos are asking for Biafra or independence not because they hate Yorubas or Hausa-Fulani or any other tribe. It is simply for peace to reign in Nigeria and for all Nigerian tribes to prosper at their own pace without other tribes trying to usurp their potential or hinder their progress with their own belief, tradition, culture and way of life.

If Nigeria divides, some Igbos that believe they will succeed better in Southwest or North can still apply for you guys visa and if u guys deem it fit, u grant him or her visa to stay with u and abide by your national constitution, and if he or she defaults, u either jail or deport him or her back to Biafra.

Stop seeing Biafra as a threat, it is for good of all Nigerian tribe and no, we don't want another war, we want a peaceful disintegration or division of Nigeria without a gun shot.

U are yet to see the picture bro, Biafra is their biggest threat. They can't exist without us n thus they are doing everything possible so that we will remain.
