Few Facts You Didn’t Know About The Biafran War


1. Dim C. Ojukwu was smarter and diplomatically won Nigeria 🇳🇬 at Aburi meeting.

2. Gowon didn't understand the terms of the aburi accord before agreeing to it !! it was after that he understood it and refuted it.

3. After the war ended again, northerners turned against Gowon when he was head of state .... reasons hidden ....sources said his alliance was with the British colonies

4. Hunger and disease ki!led about 12million people more than what d!ed in the battlefield!

5. Nigerian army encounters heavy resistance in abagana, arochukwu, oguta, umuahia, ikot ekpene, onne gave Nigerian soldiers bean and fire ..when they attempted to infiltrate them

6. in 6 July 1967 two columns matched into Biafra territory led by murtala Muhammed and massacred 700 of biafran soldiers in asaba, who in turn retaliated by killing thousand of Nigerian army.

7. the Nigerian army out numbered biafrans on a 10:4 ratio. However, Biafran army were more disciplined and determined to defend it new territory.

Today, the biafra conflict’s legacy continues to hold the country captive, more than half a century later. The war may have ended more than 60 years ago, but its effects are far from over.

If Biafrans were really as victorious, I don't believe they will be need for opening threads every two days to explain the victory.
I don't remember the last time a Nigerian had to create a thread to explain Nigeria s victory.
Many years from now Ukrainians and Palestinian will be creating threads like this.
The Igbos are responsible for what befell them. Most of you making noise today are too young to understand what truly happened which is why the same thing may repeat itself in the distant future. The 2023 elections showed that you people are still stiff necked and would never change.
No amount of threads you open is gonna convince anyone of your victory.
This nonsense you all are doing now, claiming ownership of other people's lands, disrespect to your hosts, na so e been take start.
The coups-de-ta was just the last straw that broke the camel's back....

How can one tribe claim to be hated by everyone within and outside the country yet you feel you are the normal one and everyone else is mad.

If y'all were sane you would ask yourself why you fell everyone hates you.....

If the entire country and even foreigners hate you as you claim, then you have a big problem with your mental health.

THE FLOOR IS OPEN FOR YOUR INSULTS, THATS WHAT YOU ARE BEST AT. AND YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT.
NON OF YOU WILL PROVIDE A SUPERIOR POINT BUT RAIN INSULTS
