Biafra failed the moment Igbo tried to extend their territory to SS and SW.

I know they will argue with me, I know some of them don't understand history.

But I have said my own.

You are an indictment of free education in western region of Nigeria and whatever educational system in the federal republic of shithole called Nigeria. There were no nonsensical SS and SW. The first attacks on eastern region of Nigeria were initiated from western region and mid-western region of Nigeria. Any military action organized by Biafra towards western and mid-western regions was reprisal in nature.

oh you know there was a Yoruba by name banjo.
Why will banjo bring war to yorubas?
He was simply heading to dodan barracks.
After the north used the western region,they smartly moved the capital to abuja, North.
You guys think you are wise.
The north have always been the problem yet the Yoruba prefer to see Igbo as problem.
When the East left,the Yoruba would have negotiated a better Nigeria before supporting the north,but not the yorubas, just make awolowo a finance minister,he will be on your side,a man who wanted to be a prime minister.

Lol, Banjo commandeering the Biafran forces will definitely kill or instruct his soldiers to kill Yoruba soldiers as he won’t be able to distinguish Yoruba from Hausa on the battlefield. He already swore his allegiance to the Biafran army and he ceased to be a Yoruba on the battle field.

Lol, @the bolded, do you know that the Yorubas have always wanted the capital to be moved away from Lagos ever since the 1950s? Awolowo fought for the capital to be moved to another place and even promised that the Western Region will finance the construction of a new capital.

Do you know who opposed that? Nnamdi Azikwe, he said Lagos is no man’s land and the capital should remain in Lagos because he doesn’t want Yoruba to keep the wealth of Lagos.

Even the Fulanis supported it then until Azikwe confused them that they won’t have access to the Apapa port easily if Lagos capital fall into Yoruba hands.

In all this, Awolowo was frustrated and he had to write a letter to the colonial secretary telling them that the Yorubas will leave the union if capital is not relocated. The colonial secretary not wanting a breakup of the new country that will be birthed threatened Awolowo and told him that it will be met with force of Awolowo ever dare to proceed with making Yoruba leave the union.

Do you know what Azikwe did, he wrote the colonial government and told them that “They have address Awolowo in the only language he understood” I.e. force and he was pleased with the decision.

I swear on God, the Yorubas have always wanted the capital to be moved from Lagos even since, which explained why it wasn’t met with force when Babangida did that later.

The North is not the genesis, the Igbos through Azikwe are the genesis of the initial rot of this nation. The North were never this brutal, you guys taught them everything they come to know presently.

I feel nauseated that you Igbos cry victims even when you are the genesis of your misfortunes.

Why wouldn't Biafra attack mid-western region when Escravos was not only training depot of 3MCDO but the launching pad of the sea operation against Ubani (Bonny) in eastern region or Biafra? The mid-western region provided the men and materials for seaward offensive against Biafra from July 6 -26, 1967. In addition, the so-called military governor of mid-western region had on August 3, 1967 made radio announcement that mid-western region and himself are solidly behind Gowon and the actions against eastern region or Biafra.

wirinet:

In your thinking, Biafra of 1967 included the former Mid West and Ore?

Biafra failed the day they invaded other regions. It changed their aims from secession to conquest and colonisation.

In addition
It's the same reason Biafra failed today. The Biafrans can't get their eyes off the old mid west. they are even eying Benue join.

Sadly true.

The invasion achieved two things...1) made the Federal Government go into total war mode 2) knocked the Western region from 'fence sitters' to 'Time to support Gowon and company now'.

Let's not even forget that Biafran lines were overextended...ripe for the picking.
