Dedetwo:


Did you take elementary social studies? At this stage of your sorry ass life, you should know that Cross River State was part and parcel of defunct eastern region of Nigeria. I guess you are very delusional to think Biafra had to fight a war to include a crap created by Gowon in its fold. Nigeria fought to include Biafra in Nigeria. What a sink.

You sound frustrated. Tell your master Nnamdi Kanu to stop mentioning Cross River then since you keep saying we are crap. I think I'm done talking to you.

You can look into the mirror and continue arguing stupidly with the person you see.

APCNig:


But I thought Igbos said Nigeria Army committed Genocide by killing over three million Biafrans while Biafran Soldiers did not kill a single Nigerian Soldier. How come, Igbos are now saying they killed some Nigerian Soldiers?

These people are confused.

3 million biafrans killed were starved to death and were non combatant soldiers they were civilians who were starved to death but the casualties on nigerian side were all military personnel and were killed by biafran combatant soldiers during battle,

most of Nigeria's former military leaders except for Gowon is either carrying a biafran wound or narrowly escaped death by whiskers from Murtala who was almost vaporised by a biafran Major , to Obasanjo who still has bullets lodged in his buttocks to babangida who was brutally wounded in Uzuakoli and is still nursing heavily the wounds that was inflicted on him.

A Nigerian Chief of Army staff lost his life during the war when his helicopter was shot down, but no top biafran military personnel had any injury , only women and children that suffered starvation as a result of farm land sabotage

Siege of Owerri was the biggest biafran victory. Over 3000 Nigerian soldiers executed and many fled on bare feet.

I think its was because of how Black Scorpion was running his mouth.

It led to his downfall tho.

Eteka1:
Another reason why I as a Cross Riverian cannot support anything like Biafra in the first place.

What the OSU's feared would have been like a child's play compared to what ethnic minorities like us would face.

brown roof afonja, crawl back to Ibadan and stop claiming cross river.

Dedetwo:


In terms of support, Biafra fought the war alone. USSR, Germany and UK almost sunk Apapa Wharf with war materials. Egyptian made sure that Migs were supplied and flown since little or no Nigerian air force officers can fly the fighters after the Igbo pilots left.

I deal with fact. Why is it that all you guys talk don't come with fact. Apapa wharf with material. Since you know this cos you were alive then, what is stopping you from bringing the pictures of the materials.

BoboNkiti19:

Guy are you naturally this daft? cause the way you reason really worries me...

I don't deal with a less human like you that even cockroach has reasoning than. I am done with a lunatic like your type.

quoting Nwodo and Sunday Awoniyi on how OBJ became civilian President in 1999:



l will tell you how Obasanjo came about.

After his release from prison, Abdulsalami Abubakar's regime granted Obasanjo amnesty and that amnesty was engineered by General Ibrahim Babangida.

It was Babangida's own way of trying to put the June 12 debacle behind him because he believed that the South West had actually been pushed to the wall so much so that they were already singing their own Oodua anthem and were already hoisting their own flag in some places and he believed that Nigeria could not survive another secessionist war so the way he saw fit to placate them and carry them along was to cede the presidency to the South West.

He also figured that Obasanjo was the right man to do the job because Obasanjo was a man who, once he's convinced about what he has set out to do he would do it without bothering about what Nigerians or the press would say about him and that Nigeria needed someone like that at that time and that was his own analysis of Obasanjo and why he believed that he was the best man at that time.

The arguments were very very persuasive then and you know Chief Sunday Awoniyi is not one to be swayed easily.

Most people in Nigeria then believed in the argument that the only person who could stop the west from going was Obasanjo because he had been President before, he had the military training and he was a very patriotic person and he had the will power to do that without caring about the consequences. That Ekwueme would not be able to do that and that Ekwueme was angling at the last Constitutional Conference for regional armies and some people felt that that suggestion was fraught with the possibility of secession.



The truth is the Yorubas are being greedy, unfair, and biting too much.

What is good for John is also good for Peter.


Why can't the Yorubas just support Igbos to produce next southern President like it was done for them in 1999

Yorubas were at the height of seeking for secession to form Odua republic which made IBB lobby for OBJ to become President and pacify the Southwest.


Why cant Nigerians, especially Yorubas just support Igbos to produce next southern President like it was done for them in 1999, why Why are they clamoring to produce another southern President after producing OBJ that ruled for 8 years

They say Igbos don't know what they want, that Igbos are agitating for Biafra and also wanting to produce Nigeria's next President, didn't Yorubas do same in 1998/1999

Yorubas were at the height of seeking for secession to form Odua republic, hoisting Odua flags in all Yoruba states and communities, which made IBB lobby for OBJ to become President and pacify the Southwest.


For peace, unity and togetherness, why can't same be done for Igbos Think about this as a Yoruba Or Hausa-Fulani person, think and judge.

He claim's while the federal troop observe ceasefire, the "rebel" as he normally refer the Biafra counterpart, is busy launching assault. He was very boastful and arrogant, a draconian that suck the life out of many Biafra women and children.

I dont think you have any idea on how the war was fought. That's the reason why thy need to re introduce history back in school, so people like you will knw.

Maybe you can explain, since you were there and fought the war with them.

The problem with Yoruba, is the hate they have for Igbo, I have always wanted to knw the root, at what point in time did the Igbo, betrayed the Yorubas, it has always nbeen the north but they tend to hate us why

Operation OAU was Nigeria's biggest military disaster. They started with 33,000 soldiers and ended with a little below 1000

sammyj:
After this ambush, who won the war Rather than letting sleeping dogs lay, you come on this platform to brag about one single battle that was eventually lost by the Biafran rebels!!! I advise we look forward and stop this nonsense

Trying to erase history was one of Nigeria’s biggest mistakes. You can’t erase people’s anguish, horror, tears, something that they’ll keep telling their generations to come. The quickness to move on shows lack of empathy and care.

Don’t get it twisted, whether you choose to move on or not, you’re still going to be living in a corrupt nation with useless leaders and dilapidated infrastructure. The sooner you accept that some people will not move on just like you, the sooner the country can start it’s healing.

That's why they banished Adekunle and never wanted to see him again.

It was a disgrace to the Nigerian side than less than 100 biafran soldiers could kill so much in a short time.

You need the see that video on Youtube, Nigerian soldiers running away at top speed on foot.

Just the same thing they are doing today against BH.

When he was bombing soft civilian targets, killing women and children, he never remembered cease-fire.

He was all mouth and no real substance for man to man combat.

After all, he ran away and the riffraff was eventually flushed out of the system.

Go and wash your head in the river properly, the person wey do you this thing died many years ago. There was absolutely no sense in the useless rebuttals your dumb ass tried to conjure. I don't know if your mother dropped you on your head when you were born, or you just suffer from a serious case of autism or cognitive dissonance... But if you can read and comprehend WELL, you would have seen that there was no where in my post where I alluded that France didn't support Biafra (abi you no fit read, Dindinrin oshi), I clearly and unequivocally made it clear Biafra got some military support from France, but that support was very paltry in quantity... and wasn't in any way compared to the millions of pounds worth of arms, ammunitions and stockpiles of heavy war machines Nigeria got from Britain and Russia. Every book and articles written about the Nigerian civil war by unbiased authors and observers also made these facts clear. Now stop been an idiot for once and humbly ask me to recommend books on the war for you to read, there are many of them available on the internet database... But will your irredeemable stupidity let you?

Obasanjo was not supported by the Yorubas for reasons best known to them
Check 1999 Election results below to see he was not voted for

Yes I know and that is not the argument my brother.


The point and argument here is, a Yoruba man was picked to be made President as a way to pacify the Yorubas for the death of MKO their son and to discourage them from continuing with their secession agenda to form Odua Republic after MKO was murdered.


Later on, OBJ handpicked Yaradua to become next President as a way of compensating them for his brother that died with OBJ in jail prior to 1999.


Also, Goodluck Jonathan was picked to become President to pacify Niger Delta people. Did any of OBJ, Yaradua, Goodluck merit being President of Nigeria when they became one They were all handpicked to compensate their region and people.

So if Nigeria truly want unity, peace and national prosperity and ready for togetherness, why can't same be done for Igbos as a way of pacifying them and burying the issue of Biafra seccession


Instead the same Yorubas that went all out hoisting Odua Republic flags in Yoruba lands and threatening to secede from Nigeria are the ones saying that you cannot get Presidency on a platter of gold, that Igbos should do this and that to merit it, but their son was made President on a platter of gold to the detriment of Alex Ekwueme who was well positioned and already fingered to be the next President of Nigeria in 1998/1999.


Can you see the hypocrisy of our Yoruba brethren here

The Biafran agitation of today is for referendum in what used to be the old Eastern Region. When referendum comes, those who vote to leave Nigeria will be the Biafrans. If the Ogoja feels that Nigeria is best for him, he should feel free to vote to continue with Nigeria. This way, nobody is forced into what they do not want.

Nobody ever voted or chose to be Nigerian or Crossriverian, but Biafra will be created by the free will of the people

It was mostly the Efik who did not support Biafra. I guess the unfortunate thing that happened to the Bakassi people will teach you a lesson.
