Those kwashiokor children now have landed properties all over nigeria.
By the way, only a low hateful degenerate mock little kids who are victims of war.

Back then, it was not yet a crime enacted by the UN, but it now it is

To use starvation as a weapon of war, or to deprive children in a war zone sustenance for survival, such as food and medicine, is now an international war crime

So as you post these pictures of the war crimes Nigeria had to perpetrate so as to keep a useless "one Nigeria" that has never worked to this day, bear that in mind
That's why I laugh when they blackmail us with the atrocities of the first civil war. They better avoid another war, a lot has changed in the rules of engagement

Where do you belong?

PDP / LP should come together to win election in Imo , according to you 2 days ago,

Here, you are promoting your Biafra agenda again

Why are you so confused?
And the two are mutually exclusive? No wonder Peter Obi took you all by surprise.

And this was against a federal military backed by soviet union, Britain, Egypt, Arab world, Chad, niger . The whole second division of the Nigerian military was destroyed and reduced to nothing but an ash heap by a biafran troop led by Jonathan uchendu .
The only story that comes close to this was the defeat of Goliath and the Arab military by no other person than king David. So devastating was even Abagana ambush that General murtala Mohammed had to go on a self imposed exile till the war ended.
Not even Ukraine military backed by the western military has been able to replicate this feat.


If the actual military exploits by militaries since mankind began, biafran military would be recognized as the only military that fought against an alliance of world power and was still able to wipe out whole divisions of the Nigerian military

"...In Biafra, Africa Died"

When I read history books and WikiLeaks about the extent Harold Wilson, the then British prime minister went to crush Biafra, as well as the active involvement of other super powers like USSR then Egypt, Niger, Chad etc. I feel goosebumps allover.

In modern history, only the Nazi Germany attacks on Jews can be compared to what Biafrans experienced.

You are getting it wrong, Nigeria was not feeding them. Nigeria was allowing food transportation which was standard practice, but out of frustrations because they couldn't win, they stop allowing movement of food supply. All food supply was either purchased with Biafra money or donated by allies and charity organizations

Let me even capture it more succinctly. Significant parts of Biafra was either battlefronts or were under Nigerian control. This resulted in refugees flooding other parts under Biafran control. Remember that millions that returned from other parts of Nigeria were yet to be completely resettled before war broke out.

Based on the above factors, farming was practically impossible in many areas. Only importation of food could have helped to feed millions of displaced people. It was mostly the displaced Biafrans that died from starvation and diseases. Others who weren't displaced managed with what they could get from their farms.

What happened during Biafra can only be compared to Nazi Germany onslaught on Jews. It was terrible to say the least.

Abagana massacre was a gift to the Biafran forces by Muritala Mohammed. In saner clime, Muritala Muhammed would have been court martial for what happened.

Whatever the case, this goes to show that no one really wins in a war. Every side will only end up losing. Everything must be done to avoid another war. Those beating the drums of war should learn.

What about the end, Nigeria would have end all Biafran lives if they wanted to. To me its a very stupid war



Th success of Abagana is because Nigeria made a mistake of handling Biafra like one of its citizens.

But huger is wiping out you all right now when there is no war. I don't know why your people celebrate playing outside the rules. Na so una start attacking voters when you started losing election, instead of hiding your head in shame, you brag about it.

Don't don't be a slowpoke!

You don't even know where I belong!

Leave the pain, cry, laughter and happy moments of the past in the past.

Now is the time to work on a better future. Not unearthing relics of the past!

Can you imagine what this one is saying. A gift? Come, how do people cope with you, especially at work? The way you think; your choice of words; attitude. Everything! It's always wrong. Oga o! Kadoso Mutairu aka seunmsg!

It was a fluke hit from a lone artillery war head that struck a fuel truck in the convoy.

Since you like bringing up the past and civil war ,hope you won't be angry when I post pics of your kwashiorkor parents?

I don't think anyone cares if you post the pictures. Biafrans are already desensitized to those gory pictures, they see it everyday. So go ahead and Bleep your assz with the dilddo. grin

Not too long ago, President Assad of Syria wanted to capture Aleppo after many months of fierce fighting with no headway. He surrounded the place and refused that nothing would go in or come out

The UN then reminded him that it was high crime it was to use starvation and deprivation as a weapon of war, he then allowed a humanitarian corridor for the UN to bring food, even enemy Soldiers ate from the food
