After a campaign of murder and persecution against the Igbo people in Nigeria, the state of Biafra attempted to secede from Nigeria. The Government of the United Kingdom provided diplomatic support and was the largest supplier of arms to the Nigerian Government during the Biafran war. Over a million people, mainly Igbos, died during this terrible and unnecessary war. The present day British Government should apologise to the Igbo people for their complicity in the deaths of so many innocent people.

This is like AA asking for a "sorry" letter from their white slave masters.

This is just beyond pathetic.

So when will the Igbo ppl apologize for their role in the Biafran war, for the lives of non-igbo Nigerians they killed?

do they really appologies ?

One wonders if the forces that backed nigeria backed biafra what the outcome of the war would have been it would have taken biafran forces less than 6 months to overturn nigeria.

I think what biafrans want is in the event of a future war in nigeria the major powers should either remain neutral or sell their weapons to any side that wants to buy without partiality.

Not today you are supplying weapons to the government as was the case with nigeria / biafra and tomorrow you are supplying weapons to rebels as was the case with libya /libyanrebels

Go and look for something to do that's better with your time, like reducing mental illness in your state. You have mouth for the wrong things. You think we don't know you're a novice in Nigerian affairs?

Apology will never bring the dead back to live.
Igbos did what they did because they are the most vibrant ppl who can really stand for their needs

FFS, Igbo are not the first to lose a war. All this Biafran warrior should just shut their month up and move on. Germany lost 2 wars, you wont her them crying, same goes to Japan who got nuke twice. Please, Biafran warrior shut up, you guys ain't don't something good for the world.

when are u all ever going to realise that the West backs only those who are in their own interst. They could have simply remained neutral but they backed the Nigerian govt, cos they just probably cudnt stand one of their colonies being divided. i'm not Igbo, but I agree with d poster's view.
Re: Britons Submits Petition To: Apologise For Britain's Role In Biafran War by NegroNtns(m): 3:40pm On Aug 23, 2011
Its just a proposal asking for an apology, doesn't mean there will be one.

If there's one I don't see Britain supporting the bogus claims made by Ibos with the numbers and account of the events.

GBOSA !!!

Just listen to this joker!

So you igbos are hoping for another war?

Yet, you are the ones calling for more political clout in other people's region.

You see why no-one wants anything to do with you guys?

You are just da.mn too slippery for comfort.

Seriously, Rgp92: You do need some grammar lessons. I mean, English is not my first language either but you really take the cake when it comes to bad grammar.

Hey Rpg92: there is actually a "spell check" function BEFORE you submit. Yes, right there at the bottom right, next to the "Preview" button.  It might  help cover some of the shame of your unclothedness.

Then this person - OmoLisabi: Classic example of a monosyllabic buffoon.

These guys make it quite exhausting,

What is wrong with any group asking for an apology and even compensation?  Is it not a civilized way to go about things? 

When MEND was bombing, people like our "learned friends" were complaining. 

By the way, our "learned friends" miss the point. The petition was submitted by an OYINBO man, not an Ibo man.

If some folks sabi book, dem for don see am.  I beg ,

With all these posts I've just read. . . I'm still looking for where it said that Igbo people and Biafran warriors submitted the petition. undecided
Re: Britons Submits Petition To: Apologise For Britain's Role In Biafran War by ChinenyeN(m): 1:21am On Aug 24, 2011
That aside, I don't see the point of the apology. We're too far gone to get an apology. If Britain wants to show signs of remorse and apology, then Briton should play the role of an independent third party and sponsor of the dissolution of Nigeria. It's that simple.
Re: Britons Submits Petition To: Apologise For Britain's Role In Biafran War by austin2002: 9:37am On Nov 16, 2011
The cockroaches from the northern Nigeria are actually nigerians no doubt.The Biafrans do not belong to Nigeria.These cockroaches immigrated to Nigeria from desert  world and occupied the place now called Nigeria .Wonder why they do not care about the country called Nigeria. Yes the british government have been paving the way for them since independence.I wonder what these cockroaches and the british government will do when the oil from the Biafra runs out.These cockroaches breath terrorist all over Nigeria.They have terrorist camps all over the northern Nigeria. They have terror groups from saudi arabia,syria,in fact other cockroaches from middle east except Israel training these cockroaches in the northern Nigeria. These cockroaches from the north do not believe in educations,civil life,discipline of course cockroaches do not have control.Wonder why one of them wanted to bomb airplane in the USA? Nigeria have been ruled by most under-educated cockroaches from the north since the independence and you go figure where the country is standing now.
