oga look for good sources n stop saying shit Ojukwu already declared war before they where marched, mind u d aburi accord was agreed by military personnel not by civilian's cause power belongs to the people not military folks all fighting for power.

You really need to pick up good history books and read because you're quite ignorant.

Let me give you a breakdown of how it went down.

1. Igbos were killed en mass in a pogrom across Northern Nigeria.

2. Survivors excaped to the East.

3. There was mass anger in the East.

4. The Eastern Regional House of Assembly met and had series of meetings.

5. Based on popular demand by the masses, they pressured Ojukwu to declare Biafra since Igbos/Eastern minorities we're no longer safe in Nigeria.

6. Ojukwu asked soldiers and policemen who were not indigenous to the East to leave and he stopped payment of royalties to the federal government.

7. Ojukwu then declared Biafra.

8. The then Ghanaian president I think Kwame Nkrumah invited both top Nigerian and Biafran diplomats along with the respective heads of state to Aburi on discussions about how to stop the unfolding crises.

9. In Aburi, Ojukwu and Gowon reached agreement on how to deescalate tensions peacefully.

10. On returning to Nigeria, Gowon met with other Northerners, mainly Hausa/Fulani who were acting on Britain's advice and they told Gowon not to honour the Aburi agreement.

11. Ojukwu and top ranking Igbos/Eastern minorities insisted that the agreement must be honoured. That was when the phrase "On Aburi we stand" became massively popular.

12. Gowon declared 12 states and followed it up with what he called a police action to round up the Biafrans within days.

13. Ojukwu scrambled some soldiers towards its Northern borders with Nigeria to defend its territory.

14. Nigerian troops arrived a place called Garkem, I think it should be around Ogoja in present day Cross River where they fired the first shots on Biafrans signalling the start of the war.

Now that's a quick rundown of how it happened. Don't thank me for enlightening you, pick a godamn history book and read!!!

sanpapi:

during the war biafrans whr duly supported by the french n evn hired mercenaries to fight, mind u other tribes in the east where attacked by the Igbos, stop looking at the picture from one angle.

Lies and more lies!
Which minorities were attacked by the Igbos? So, if for instance, some minorities were involved in acts that was capable of sabotaging the Biafrans against a formidable enemy, what do you expect them to do? To clap for them?

France didn't support Biafra in the same sense that Britain supported Nigeria. France only allowed Biafra to buy arms from them. If France supported Biafra as you want us to believe, do you think the blockade would have been successful? Don't you know they would have told Cameroun to open its border with Biafra and allow arms and food to flow in?

Only a couple of countries like Tanzania and Haiti supported Biafra but it was only MORAL SUPPORT!!

Victim mentality all the time, aren't you guys tired of playing victim ad nauseum. By the way Muritalas service troops were massacred by biafrans at Abagana not combat troops.His combat troops fought their way through and the biafrans killed soft targets following them like nurses , tailors e.t,c.Shame. Go and read history.

Which history chief? The history that your gov't refuse to see daylight? There ia a reason nigeria gov't will never allow the history of that war to come out or taught in schools, but every igbo child knows the history and we are proud of our parents and their efforts and sacrifices, why don't you ask why igbos are happily listening to kanu and why IPOB are getting more and more volunteers despite kanu's numerous shortcomings, this should have been settled a long time ago but nigeria is full of people luke you, little minds claiming they are intelligent, any half intelligent person will know that biafra is not something one can wish away or hate away or bomb away, nigeria need to seat down with biafra and settle this, it's very simple, killing biafrans will never stop biafra, if anyone thinks that kanu is stubborn, there are thousands more igbos who are More stubborn than him

NigeriaIsZOO:


Whether you justify it or not is not the issue here. My point is that the two desperate measures (blockade and bombing of civilian population) Nigeria took that made them to "win" the war won't be available to them should there be a guerilla war.

In guerilla warfare, you can't possibly go about bombing markets, schools, churches or hospitals! You can't also blockade our region! Rather you will only be fighting with ESN who would be manuevering in the bushes and jungles.

If the government becomes foolhardy enough to commit mass murders, then it will only fastfoward the involvement of global bodies like UN and you can bet Igbos have enough global presence both in numbers and influential individuals who would lobby for it. Then when UN gets involved, it will call for a round table discussion on how to stop the war and the key demand would be for a referendum to be conducted at a certain date. The referendum outcome would 99% be for a new country for Igbos.

Now you get the entire picture?

It will even be easier now no need for blockade , nobody will have time for any negotiations NAF will just blow out the entire east, nobody go tell ESN to surrender...... Dont be deceived any world power will stick their heads for you before you know it, the entire east will be just one large UN REFUGEE CAMP

hahaha.. the joke is on you . The igbos saw into the future and wanted out of the abominable union. You that your ancestors fertilised bushes , forests and supported aquatic life in the east so that Biafra will not go,..so Nigeria of today was the idea of fighting for 3 years? Its a pity that una combined mumu and coupled with the hypocrisy/naivity of some world powers was just too much for the igbo man to cope with ,even after holding on for 3 good years (bare handedly)

The only way this will stop is to pay Evil with Evil..
If you keep complaining everytime they intentionally massacre women and children, you will have dregs of their communities coming over here taunting you about letters to CAF, FIFA, UNESCO and WAFU..
But if you identify their stock and visit them with supreme evil the very same way they do to yours in market places and religious centers and farms, They will surely get the message since the only language they understand very easily is violence..

Of cause that's what you're witnessing gradually, by the time we're done with the zoo, even the British will be overwhelmed in shock.

You're such a kid. You can't try such nonsense against a big and influential ethnic group like Igbo and succeed. Do you think you can bomb civilian populations repeatedly with massive casualties and Igbos globally will keep quiet? You think the Igbo is just like any other tribe in Africa without influence? Do you even know that only a phone call from people like Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the president of ICC or other influential Igbos all over the world going on massive protests, you think the world won't be forced to act?

Murtalla Mohammed still won overall and became the head of state.All the meaningless pyrrhic biafran victories came to nothing.

I agree with you a little.

achi4u:
If the North thinks that the 'entire Nigeria' will help/joint hand in fighting East as was done during the Biafra war in 60s should wake up from their slumber, because the whole nation is polarized and want to take their own chance of self determination.
Gone are the days North, when you think the East will be the theater of war and continue to lot and destroy the entire population, the middle belt you so hoped on will disappoint you, the South South will not be soooo loyal again to betray their closes neighbor, while the west will also try to separate from the forced marriage.
Again, we want peace and a peaceful separation.

Nnaa don't put any trust on those you call middle belt, South South and the rest. That was the beginning of Ojukwu failure.
There is nothing to trust from those quarters, we can only count on ourselves.

Greedy Bastards , always see the future when they are no longer favoured in the scheme of things.....the civil war mistakes of your forefathers is well documented ,if Ibos had not planned a coup and executed all the political leaders of other tribes leaving their own leaders ,no one would have fought any war, IBOS BROUGHT WAR TO NIGERIA
Fast forward 2015 Ibos suddenly began to see the future after GEJ loss.....what a shemeless tribe. While your politicians were living fat on the commonwealth you didn't see the picture but the moment your hero lost election , you began to see , WELDONE

Let me point out to you how irredeemably dumb u sound..


The action of a few misguided officers ( easterners,midwesterners,westerners like major ademoyega,lt col banjo,lt olofimihan,lt oyewole etc and even a few northerners) is intepreted as igbo coup ( even tho a senior igbo officer col Arthur Unaegbe was also killed) and therefore all igbos must be immediately killed off.. but since then almost all ethnic groups have led coups and their ethnic stock weren't even mentioned talkless of being attacked. the langtan coup led by dimka was the bloodiest in history,but i never read of any attacks on the langtans of Nigeria..

Oga una never talk wetin make una conduct the genocides on igbo race.. even tho e clear say na jealousy and inability to compete naturally with them.


Fast foward to present day. fulani herdsmen have been maiming and burying whole villages all over Nigeria . how many fulani politicians, military men ,businessmen,students or even ordinary ones did u massacre and declare war on? None! Instead a Fulani was rewarded with presidency..


Make u dey dere dey deceive yourselves. igbo this igbo that. Tell yourselves the truth,cos u deceive no other but yourselves with those useless narratives

But you have used the actions of a few criminal fulanis to condemn the whole fulanis tribe ,anyone against you is also a fulanis slave BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF A FEW CRIMINAL HERDSMEN......that's by the way

I've told your peers , your attempts to rewrite the civil war history HAS FAILED. The documents are there for everyone to see......if Ibos make up 80% of the people that carried out the coup ,it's majority ibo and that makes it ibo coup....

Instead of all these Revisionism, Ibos should APOLOGIZE to other NIGERIANS and seek genuine forgiveness and reconciliation for the roles they played in the coup where no single ibo leader was killed and the major political leaders of other tribes were massacred....if you were not ibo you will have the same sentiments other NIGERIANS have towards Ibos and feel exactly the way other NIGERIANS feel about ibos....

As per the buka saka dimkpa coup...the coup plotters were executed immediately, what did your brothers do to Nzeogwu and the rest .....your answer lies there ,that's why people have so much resentments against Ibos.......

Talk about sins of the fathers coming to hunt the children

NigeriaIsZOO:
What the Nigerian government relied on to "win" the war was the blockade and aerial bombardment of civilian population. Take this two out of the equation and you will see that the war would have continued for ages with no side winning despite the massive support Nigeria enjoyed and availability of massive arsenals.

Now, if IPOB/ESN is pushed into war, it can only be a guerilla war, thus aerial bombardment of cities, schools, markets etc won't happen and blockade will also not be possible. Then how would Nigeria expect to win?

The war may drag for 1, 2, 3 or even 5 years but ultimately, it will end in a referendum which everyone knows Igbos will overwhelmingly vote to go their way.

What gives you the impression that aerial bombardment won't happen?
Nigerian govt has no moral qualms with killing civilians. This was recently demonstrated with bombing of IDP camps.
The air force has bombed certain locations where they thought terrorists/bandits have their hideouts, without reliable intelligence gathering. This resulted in many civilian casualties.
What about the incident of a few days ago where the army went to a community in Benue State to kill scores of civilians and burn down an entire village because soldiers were killed?

Here's a country that never apologized or show remorse for the brutal killing of millions of unarmed people during the war, and you expect that it can't do it again?

Know your enemy. That's the first rule.
You need to operate with the mindset that if given the chance, FG will indeed sanction aerial bombings of civilian locations. What you need is to put in place a deterrent to that.
An adequate defence or even an offensive strategy to put such cowardly move in check.
They did it before. They can do it again.

Listen to yourself ' you condemn the fulani because of herdsmen'.. well its better to condemn than to go on genocidal spree..

These are fulanis irritating the whole nation o. killing ,raping a and burning. but everybody is calm and doing things the civil way. Compare that with killing of millions of igbos just because some igbo officers partook in a coup that others partook in as well. That is how endsars that everybody did turned to ' igbo coup' overnight and hundreds of igbo youths massacred. No worry we already know the game..so save all the yak!

You talk of dimka being punished..were his kinsmen killed before that? was the whole nation in tumoil,with langtan ppl hounded and killed around the country,and thereby,distracting the head of state? A coup happened in january and by july,6 months time hundreds of thousands of ppl have been killed,head of state killed and u dare compare it with dimka coup..

Like i said earlier,una never talk wetin una do that genocide and fight war for. but everybody know am

Your tribe also irritated the whole nation by the massacre of political leaders of other tribes by your ibo soldiers sanctioned by your tribal elders.

Swallow your pride and apologize to the whole nation.......it has happened before , canadian government has apologized to the aborigines for the sins of their forefathers against the aborigines....Australia has done same , belgium too....that apology is necessary for the wounds to heal.... trying to rewrite history is a waste of time .

If Nigeria felt that the coup was an igbo coup and therefore visited genocide on igbos,how come same genocide wasnt ever visited on ethnic groups of other subsequent coup plotters? why was genocide not visited on fulanis that are exterminating whole lineages and villages?

if 1966 genocide was due to igbo coup,what was responsible for kano 1945 and jos 1953 massacres?

Perhaps u read the book upside down..

General Alexander Madiebbo in his book The Nigerian Revolution and Biafra war,described how a 99 lorry convoy bearing thousands of battle readty troops,military stores,fuels , arms and ammunition was totally destroyed by major uchendu and his company of biafran troops, using a barrage of ogbunigwe flying mines.

The only survivors were about 2 or 3 ferrets and saladines that were in front of the convoy and whom uchendu didt bother wasting time to engage. The armored cars seeing the fate befalling the 99 lorries they were supposedly leading to war ,instead of turning around to engage the attackers actually increased pace in a bid to get themselves as far away as possible from the attack..

The few escapee vehicles however ran into the waiting hands of another ambush party a few kilometres from abagana

How can I get this book?
