bbpreye: Biafrans or igbos or wateva they call themselves, I thought they claimed to av migrated from isreal, they should pls migrate back, I love my igbo folks so much n can't say one harsh word about them,, but sincerely if Nigeria will eventually break up, it'll be BIAFRA, NIGERDELTA REPUBLIC and NORTHERN NIGERIA. Since these haters can't stop envying the money pot of their nation. U need to come down to d nigerdelta and. Hw people are suffering while one aboki is head of oil dept at NNPC, an aboki that does not know where east-west rd is. GEJ is the last president of Nigeria, u don't know better than the U.S.A!

Logic Mind: By the Holy Grace of Amadioha, Biafra shall be free of northern oppressors, western betrayers and neighbourly saboteurs!
Iseee!

Yeah, like biafrans were going to dash us Odua republic?? The question remains, "Na who beg una"?

Beaf:

Dude, my father along with many others, had nothing to do with either the FG or Biafra. Both sides were wicked and only saw us as puns. Till today, we have quite a few family friends who are fatherless, because their fathers (whose only crime was being top shots in the Midwest govt) were executed in cold blood by Biafra.
Please do not talk stup!dly about what you do not know.

There is no point whitewashing anything. Neither Biafra nor the FG asked us for any pact or favour; both sides simply came in and trampled the people. In fact, if the Midwest had not been neutral, Biafra wouldn't have been able to come in, because the state would have been armed and ready as part of the FG.
As is common with the majority groups in Nigeria, Biafra phucked up by not taking the minorities serious and talking to them. Afterall, the Midwest had just walked out of the Western region in anger. Stup!d approach and now stup!d rewriting of history.
More than anything, that led to its defeat and the horrors of the war. It is left for the new generation to be wiser.

Lastly, when you guys talk about being betrayed by Niger Deltans or SS people, make sure you define exactly who you are talking about. Even when you talk about Ijaws, note that sizeable populations exist both inland in Delta state and along the coast to Ondo - these were never in Biafra too. You cannot use a wide brush and not expect Niger Deltans and SS people to react angrily.

Niflheim: I wonder why someone will tell you to be his slave and tell you to bring all your property and when you say no,they will call you a traitor?Ojukwu met my uncle Ambassador Iyalla,for support from the Kalabaris,but had a secret igbo meeting later saying that the moment biafra is formed,we shall be his slaves and he shall control all our resources!!!

Beaf:

It is simple logic that Biafra decided to overthrow the govt in the Midwest, kill all top officials, install their own govt and declare a spurious republic to be ruled from Enugu. History bears that out, and no amount of lies or sentiment can cover that fact up.
The govt of the so-called Republic of Benin were Biafrans and when the FG invaded, they fled back to Biafra.

If there is another Biafra and the same thing happens, I will not be part of it, NEITHER WILL MY PEOPLE BE. You cannot conquer people or look down on them and hope they will be allies by some miracle.

I am glad that you aknowledge that it is only a fool that would ignore talking to others in the situation Biafra found herself in. Blame your leaders at the time for a colossal error. They could go all the way to Yoruba land to get Banjo, but they couldn't talk to a single Urhobo, Edo or Itsekiri soldier. General Ejoor was neutral, an Urhobo man whose people had just left the Western Region, yet no effort was made to convince him, rather he too was targetted for death. That guy is a family friend. Ok? Biafra did everything they could to scare the wits out of such a powerful and strategic fellow in the Nigerian armed forces and now we hear false stories of "betrayal." Its a pity and it is enraging.

PhysicsQED: The Midwest had nothing to do with a betrayal of Biafra. End of story.

I honestly don't see how the Ijaws in general 'betrayed' anybody, but I understand why some people would interpret it that way from their perspective.

This is a decent article which shows little bias and sheds some light on that issue for those that intend to discuss it among themselves (I'm not going to get involved, I'm no longer interested in Biafra v Nigeria threads.):

Dede1, I do not admire your foolish antics of calling our dear country cesspit, but I know that you try your best to provide historical facts regardless of whose ox is gored (though you embellish once in a while). Now, what really happened? Why did you, Eziachi (the respected NL biafran warrior) and others do what Beaf alleges? I ask you because I know you do not shy away from difficult questions.

Laalamed: What would be the fate of ibo in lagos?

CyberG: Hope y'all tribalists kill yourself off so normal people can live in peace! You know una sef here, lock yourself in dingy dark room and gas una sef to death while debating a hallucination that was over soooo long ago!!

amosy007:

dude why all this hatred?

JEEZ.. Why is igbo always full of hate?

Logic Mind:

See this son of a coward. Your people will rather comit suicide than be free of aboki domination.
Awolowo, your ancestor, BEGGED, for oduduwa. Ojukwu got him out of prison, made plans with him for the break up of nigeria, sent him to lagos and what did the rat-poison enthusiast do?! Joined his slave masters!!
Did we abandon your crying asz? No. We sent elite biafran soldiers, and in order not to be accused of imposing ourselves, put them under the command of a Yoruba man, to liberate you from your oppressors. We liberated and created new countries on the way. Your Banjo, of the hated memory, did what ofemmanus do best: Stopped fighting and started begging.
Today you and your OPC are begging for odua republic.
You are begging for posts in abuja
You are begging for oil subsidy
Tribe of beggars
Tribe of saboteurs
Tribe of cowards
Tribe of slaves
Tribe of suicidists
Tribe of the crying generals.

Azubreezy: I hope It does. I can't wait to fly my Biafran Flag. Oha N'eze nma nma nu ooo!

bbpreye: But wait first, if we break up. Will it be north and south or niger delta and the rest of ya'll.

killuminati: keep dreaming, slavery fool. You'll always be under control of the north. Mark it! keep dreaming, slavery fool. You'll always be under control of the north. Mark it!

Haba! What was so painful in my post to elicit such venomous tirade from you? Oh well, i guess its a truism
