EUROBOMBER:I was clear about your intention from the word go. You need to be clear that you'd never have Delta as part of Biafra. It does not matter whether the Deltans want to be part of Biafra or not. I repeat the best Delta can be is another Kashmir or Ukraine if they chose Biafra ahead of Nigeria. The ball is not in their court. Do you understand that now ? Am not interested in arguing blindly a minority ceding tribe "Igbo" can not tell Nigeria it as the right to cede with minority that are Igbos n and the ones that are not Igbos. Do you Igbos understand that now ? You can not agitate that Igbo are being marginalised to decide that you want Igbo freedom attached with that of other minorities. The Igbo that can not be a minority in Nigeria does not deserve to have any other minority in it's Biafra. Do you both understand now ? FrankAba1: 3 Likes |

Ballmer: Are you insinuating that we will force the Efik/Ibibio? That is not an option for us. If Nigeria encroaches into our territory then it is a call for war and by all means they will have it. What we will do this time is to ensure that we get some super powers behind us not like Ojukwu who let the British and Russia stay on one side. |

EternalTruths: Exactly. Ojukwu did not handle the international dimension well at all. How can you have Britain and Russia on one side, just imagine. It is either we have US/Britain supplying heavy war armament or Russia/China. Ojukwu's mistakes can never be repeated that is why I believe Kanu should be replaced. |

Ballmer: You call France a world power as at that time? They were just so-called but in reality there was nothing special about France. France was the only world power that was completely humiliated and occupied by German forces in WW2. They had to surrender to the Germans in weeks or be destroyed. They only supplied us some prehistoric WW1 abandoned weapons to fight with. The standard rifle for the average Biafran soldier was the bolt-action rifle, go and read. meanwhile, as at that time Russia had already supplied Nigeria with as much as 112 mm heavy artillery guns. Nigeria had heavy mobile Armour and much better air support than Biafra yet with all these they sustained heavier military casualties than the Biafran side then imagine what would have happened if we had weapons close to what Nigeria had. The Nigerian army is actually overrated and only win when they have overwhelming advantage over the enemy like we are seeing with boko haram now. 2 Likes |

Ballmer: When did I call Israel a super power? You have nothing to say because I laid the truth before you. France was the only big name that was completely humiliated by Germany in WW2, the records are there. Britain was at the verge of surrender but managed to survive same with the Russians. France gave us some prehistoric weapons to use so you cannot compare that with the kind of assistance Nigeria received from Russia & Britain. Biafran soldiers had to count/ration bullets like biscuits at some point so what are you talking about? If Nigeria wants war, they shall have it and we shall meet them frontally not like boko haram hit and run. They know how it was on the battle field with Biafrans back then and I can tell you that this is 2015 not 1967, go figure what that means. Nuff said. |

Macelliot:I am not a Yoruba nor an Hausa that would benefit from your division, I just said the truth. Uyo would be complete Igbo city if it is the capital of Biafra, all igboes would relocate their, they would buy up all the lands, dominate the market, contest for all ellection including councelor postions. After 10 years Uyo would be more Igbo than Enugu. If I were from Akwa ibom/ Cross rivers, i would negotiate for a semi autonomus region in Biafra and the Land us law must state that the land belong to the indigenes.

EUROBOMBER: This contradictions clearly show you suffering from delusion. Britain n Russian that were on the verge of surrendering where able to provide ammunitions to Nigeria while France could not ? You shamelessly claim Biafra had no support, I had it known they had France support, you termed the support old n absolute. When you learn to blame you Igbos For something as pathetic as not being able to feed your army during a war. Then n only then will there be a sincere hope for Biafra. |

Ballmer: Go and sit down. I gave you the analogy of Britan/Russia as against France to show you that they have much more respect militarily than France. The records are there if you care to do a little reaserch. Nigeria received heavy mobile armour including ferrets from Britain/Russia, they received very lethal towed artillery guns and sophisticated rifles. Go and find out, the standard riffle of the Biafran soldier was the bolt-action so where was this wonderful support we got from France? I read a book on the civil war written by J. K Madiebo and discovered that France supplied obsolete weapons to Biafra unlike Britan/Russia. Why did we have to use our own ingenuity to create the Ogbunigwe aka Ojukwu bucket and rockets? Where were the weapons i,e. tanks/artillery etc that France gave to us? 2 Likes |

EUROBOMBER:Was that what Biafra invaded Edo state with or the Igbo aggressor is already playing victim again ? Reading a book written by an Igbo could be likened to living in a fool's paradise if you consider Half of a yellow sun or the account of Achebe. I would advice you read foreigner account to have real account of what happened. The Igbos can be claiming all Saintly yet poking noses before the war only to claim victim after being beaten silly. 1 Like |

Ballmer: The fact is that all throughout that war the Igbos had no reasonable heavy weapons, even the Nigerian side admits this so I don't understand why this argument. The only tank Igbos used at one time was locally made aka Oguta boy. Where were the sophisticated guns given to us when we were using the bolt action?? Where was the artillery given to us when we had to manufacture the Ogbunigwe? 2 Likes |
