Aigbofa: they were charged for "administrative purposes" as arms and security were needed to be bought and paid for to secure the aid agency's staff and personnel. the agencies were more than happy to pay for their "security" against Nigerian forces. do you know the Nigerian Government poisoned a batch of milk transported thru Nigeria for Biafran starving babies ? this plus vile, malicious, premeditated bombing of agency's food truck necessitated the request for security from the Biafran government. 1 Like |

dayokanu: dayakanu, did you know Biafran army corp Engineers did set world record at the fastest time airport landing strip could be rebuilt and made functional ? the Russians did everything they could to destroy the strip,Gowon personally urged them to smitten the strip, every kinds of bomb know and unknow in warfare was used in trying to demolish the strip. Biafran sensing their intention, went to their lab and built a cementing adhesive - which was like silicone but toughness of concrete. this novel product humiliated the super power. Uli airport was bombarded over 10 times every night for over eight month yet it stood till the end of the war. at the end of the war the Russians had to send their scientist to peruse the [size=18pt]novel Biafran concrete Teflon product.[/size] a large chunk was flown to russian. while the conquering Nigerian government rather used a bulldozer to crater the strip and made sure every gram molecule of the strip was disposed in the sea. 1 Like |

Abali1:. @ Dayokanu u should really b careful wt u say. Justifying the innocent killing of women n kids is neva right. Should southerners start killing innocent northerrners bcuz of wt abacha or babangida did to their pple? The pogroms where wrong nd spewed From htred of igbos. evry genocide is comitted bcuz pple of a tribe hv or feel wronged by anoda tribe. I hope u also support the fulanis killing the beroms since the berooms drew first blood abi, or u support the genocide in rwanda. I hope u knw the northerners still kill igbos till dis day, we should leave them to continue abi since igbo coup plotters drew first blood. If igbos decide to revenge the war should they also b allowed to wipe out the whole hausa-fulani race if they can?. Wht is wrong is wrong. Do not allow ethnic sentiment becloud ur judgement of wat is gud or evil. Killing a whole ethnic group bcuz of sins of a few is wrong. dis is d problem of Nigeria, as long as its not ur ethnic group killed it doesn't concern u? Why couldn't prominent westtern leaders n middlebeltans come to the aid of the igbos, perhaps d ibos would nt hav felt alienated, instead our leaders stood back while they were killed in thousands n wat resulted was a war. Today it is happening again n pple r being killed no one will stand for wat is right. Dis time the whole south is prey. It is no longer just igbos or minority grps. Dayokanu ppls examine your conscience, u do not hv to like igbo pple, u do not hav to support the war, but to stand n justify a pogrom or a genociide makes u no better than the perpetrators. Pls b fair. 4 Likes |

macjive01: you're comparing apples with stones (not even oranges). while the SW was never under any kind of need for liberation, your statement appears to have been pulled out from another planet. unlike kuwait, nothing was seized or annexed up till today its like saying the fct of abuja is annexed because goodfluck is the president today. so your point was pulled from where the sun does not shine. but i think you are getting somewhere: how can it be a betrayal of ibos when Awolowo NEVER owed ojukwu anything and he told him clearly to not go to war but Lt. Col. Banjo who was co-opted by ojukwu is not a betrayer? Is it because it served your own cause or ojukus and it was a benefit to you at least temporarily until the complete rout and capitulation of the biafara which started at Ore?? In a nutshell, it is NOT a betrayal when something serves your personal, selfish and temporary purpose but when the same thing does not, it becomes a betrayal even when you were told before hand? |

macjive01: cyberG, how old are u , if you dont mind me asking ? when did ojuku reach an agreement with Chief Awolowo such that it amounts to betrayal? what exactly was told to ojuku in person (face to face) by Chief Awolowo on which he hinged a 3 Million human lives bet, on which the entire money in the central bank of SE Nigeria was exhausted and charged the people helping feed the hungry landing fees? According to records, NO such promise / pact was made but the man who gave ojuku's plan a chance, secured an agreement with is not the betrayer while marching an army on his native land but when it became mission impossible, he is a betrayer? Once common denominator which you are helping other ibos to see is this: if something or someone that belongs to another place can be used by me against himself and his loyalties, it is OKAY and not a betrayer but when the same person wakes up and is unable to complete the foolishness, he becomes your betrayer. Also, when someone (Chief Awolowo) looked out for his people and did not flinch in making the tough and right decisions in the interest of his people after warning you he is a BETRAYER to you to whom he had no direct responsibility but when ojuku who was directly responsible goes out on a limb to bring 3 M+ death and destruction and losses and takes off after people died for his cause it is not betrayal? Hmmmm...see http://chatafrik.com/articles/nigerian-affairs/item/321-why-do-igbos-always-go-looking-for-trouble?.html By the WAY: the russians did not fly any of the aircraft that were involved in the war, check your facts properly. Yes, the planes were russian planes but flown mostly by egyptian, trained Nigerian pilots and mercenaries used by BOTH sides of the war. In fact, it is on record that the mercenaries deliberately refused to bomb the air-strip as they knew and had some kind of comradeship with the pilots that flew aid into biafra. Check this fact VERY well and then OPEN ANOTHER thread if you want to discuss it. 2 Likes |

SIMPLES. Biafra couldnt buy arms because they didnt have money. even when they have the money, Britain and Russian, who controlled the arms making, made it practically impossible to buy arms. the USA was neutral- which favoured Nigeria. tho US did airlift lots of Biafrans to America- that why there are many home grown prosperous Igbos in America today . Biafrans had to rely on their ingenuity to fight- invented armoured tanks- tho rudimentary one- they had to stop making the tanks because it used lots of scared material. a semi-submersible war boat. - this invention sustained the biafran forces at calabar and owerrinta till the end of the war. ( these boats had concrete lining, which were impregnable to the Nigerian bullet, but smitten by Russian MIGs. The in/famous Ogwunikwe- including the air version that was testing 3 weeks to the end of war at umuahia. [size=18pt]Biafran couldnt buy arms and couldn't even buy materials to even mass produce their novel inventions[/size] do you know the first version of Ogwunikwe (1.1) had "David-Goliath" stone for shrapnel ( the biafran scientist had to work out how to fire up Goliath stone to decimate a tank. and it worked. could you imagine if Biafra had means to materials to mass produce their inventions or may be , just may be they had won the war! i tell you F-22 will be small were Biafran airforce would have been. 2 Likes |

CyberG: The above post is a typical crap from drooling Nigerian dingbat. What an idiotic and loudmouthed numbskull that thinks everybody on this forum lives in the same earth hole as you do. From your first post, especially where you claimed to have toyed with 1911, to the above one with your ADC crap, a canteen rat could easily deduce you are a putrid-mouthed fool who do not understand an iota of military parlance. Any toad from a military family will understand the consequences of any dereliction on OPORD. It is nice to see a jackass such as you flaunt innate ignorance on this forum. I guess laud mouthing is definitely inherent strait found among certain people in Nigeria. I shall not positively contribute to the process that will get dullard such as wiser by providing answers to your silly question. |

macjive01: [size=18pt]dayakanu, the problem with you is that you under estimate the sheer biblical strength of the Igbos.[/size] There's a video on youtube where a child soldier from the SW who fought the civil war confessed that the Igbos were a hardnut to crack! He said out of 100 Nigerian soldiers only 5 or 6 come back home alive. It's so funny that Nigerian army celebrated the killing of Biafran civillians and they termed it war. lol The frustration was so high that they(Nigerian army) bombed churches, market squares and schools. Meanwhile the Biafran soldiers were out there killing them in bulk! E no go better for those people o. I will post the video as soon as I find it. |

dayokanu: the war was fought in Biafran territory, 2) the genocidal fear made people run in-land for the fear of massacre from the Aboki-led FG. thereby increasing the strain on resources in the heartland. That was why Biafran food stock was rapidly depleted. remb, there were more igbos outside igboland than were inside (this was mostly because of the lazy-aboki attitude who wasn't ready to work necessitating the igbos to fill up civil service position all over the country- Igbos at points amounted to close to 80% of the civil service- this was another reason for the envy. Also, remb Nigeria has more population than Biafra, hence nigeria could afford to lose 7 million/ 30 as against 3 million biafrans/12million. |

dayokanu: If they go back to east how will they service their market- as in replenish their goods, since the FG has made sure no seaport works in the whole Eastern Nigeria ? Dayokanu my friend, do u realise if Akwa-ibom completes the seaport at Ibam with their Igbo partners- 30% of igbos in lagos would leave. all Igbos are asking is a little bit of help from FG- we only need a few billion dollar loan- we will surely pay back , to facilitate the venture. 1 Like |
