Akhenaten:People that agitate for war,unrest and violence all in the name of power struggle and politics obviously haven't seen this picture. Imagine being a parent in this situation,no access to food,water,clothes for your starving and sick child. Dear Lord may the plans of the enemies of Nigeria never prosper 2 Likes 1 Share |

Gory pictures, I don't pray for war cos the sights are unpleasant. The Igbos started the whole mess by killing ahmadu bello, tafawa balewa and other leaders and sparing igbo leaders, may ojukwu rot in hell for starting the war out of his selfish desire to be a head of state, 4 Likes 1 Share |

My father was a captain in the Biafran army and has told all about the war. One thing that should be noted here is that freedom is always purchased in blood. Liberation costs lives and suffering to get. All the Igbos and their brothers in the south-South asked is to be accorded their God given right to decide if they want to be Nigerian or not. But the Yorubas and the northerners were far more interested in the oil to care about that. Nigeria is a nation built and sustained on one big lie,that we are a United people. The Igbo,Yoruba and Hausa man can't even stand each other let alone unite. One day,my people the Igbos will once again be free of the bondage known as Nigeria and when that time come,what a glorious moment it shall be. 1 Like |

chichiman: To your 5 points I say this.(1) The secession of eastern Nigeria as Biafra was far more valid and sacrosanct than the existence of Nigeria because unlike Nigeria where the British used superior military power to force different ethnic groups together without their consent,Ojukwu sought and obtained the permission of the Eastern Nigeria consultative forum (the body representing all the districts in eastern Nigeria) before he declared Biafra. (2) You should remember that the timing of the secession. Ojukwu declared Biafra in line with Gowon reneging on the Aburi accord by dividing eastern Nigeria into states. It left Ojukwu without the ample time to arms as he would have wanted to before war erupted. (3)There was enough investment in food production,infact,there was an initiative for aggressive food production to feed the masses however,in the war situation it was not sustainable. The largest food producing area like Abakilki was lost early in the war. (4) Ojukwu did not declare Biafra just because of defence alone although just the fact that over 30,000 easterners were massacred under Gowons administration was enough reason to seceed. What kind if person stand by and watches over 30,000 people murdered but still chants 'one Nigeria'? Ojukwu was forced to seceed by a combination of Gowon breaking the Aburi accord he signed in Ghana by creating States,the continued massacre of easterners and the overwhelming mandate given to him to pull the eastern region out if Nigeria. Either way you look at it,Ojukwu had the moral high ground to declare Biafra. (5)remarkably,countries like France and Portugal did lend support to Biafra although it was no where near the huge support Gowon and Nigeria got from Britain,Russia and the Arab league. Despite all that,Biafra still fought on for 3 years. You can imagine what would have obtained if the support had been equal. Biafra represented the right of a people to be free and it still does. 1 Like |

Wow! This thread has modified my knowledge on Biafra. Things aren't as clearcut as I had thought. In Kenya, Moi's people were openly calling for Kikuyus to be 'cut down to size like Ibos' in the early 90s at the onset of multipartyism. I honestly think Biafra's history and the Ibo condition today is what avoided all out civil war for which I thank older Kikuyus wholeheartedly. 1 Like |

I am Yoruba but I think the Igbos have been unfairly treated. Perhaps the sufferings of the war was compounded by the greed and stubbornness of some of their leaders, especially towards the end of the war. But I think it was wrong the way igbos were slaughtered in the North for sentimental reasons. I believe most Yorubas that fought in the war did it because of Awolowo and because of the attempted invasion of Ore. However, we should not blame ourselves, since none of us young, ordinary Nigerians participated in the decisions then but we should not forget the horors of war but rather strive towards love and unity. If any tribe doesn't want to be part of Nigeria, they should have a referendum and be allowed to leave. God will punish all those who deliberately punished innocent people. 5 Likes 1 Share |

zendy:The igbos got lots of support in terms of arms,training & foreign fighters, even some Yoruba military experts fought on the biafran side but the reason they lost is as a result of Biafra invading Ore a Yoruba town in Ondo State; this resulted in many Yorubas who initially sat on the fence to enlist in military that went on to win the war. If the igbos can stop all these hate against the Yorubas & simply channel the energy towards legally fighting for what they believe; they will be far better for it as more people might support them because you cannot win a fight like this by hating on people but you rather need all the support you can get. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
