Faun: It is no news that the Nigerian Army (even with all the foreign support and numerical advantage) was getting humiliated militarily, so their next line of action was using the blockade to attack civilians, only to claim victory.
Why else is the Nigerian army getting humiliated by a common militant group like Boko Haram today? No borders to block nau, so no victory to claim again.
Niger delta militants also humiliated them too.
It has always been on record that Nigeria had more military casulaties than Biafra during the war.

not had but mobilized... wink
at the time of nzeogwu's coup,the population was 55M.so you see its possible to do so after all during the French revolution of 1789, France levied en-masse an army of 3M out of a population of 25M when the opposing powers could only muster armies of between 50-350K smiley

We shouldn't be discussing possibilities rather we should be talking certainties, 500, 000 seems high, and claims of killing 500, 000 soldier seem nothing more than fantasies of an idle mind!

Wasted half-baked free education

When battalions of soldiers are killed new troops are recruited. When that batch is wiped off fresh troops are recruited.


Got it my half baked educated friend cheesy [/s]

You lack home training, hence not worth any decent conversation.

General Isama a Yoruba General wrote in his book how Obasanjo lost 1000 troops in 1hr

Muritala 3000 troops was decimated in few seconds suffering more than 1000 troops dead

The war lasted btw 900-1000 days

In terms of hours it is 22 000hrs-24 000hrs

With such casualty rate its possible for Nigeria to lose amount

Simple maths

If such incidence occurred in 500hrs out of that total hours listed above, it is possible to lose such amount at a rate of 1000 troop dead per hour.

Do the maths

500hrs * 1000 killed/hr = 500 000 dead soldiers during the war. cool

You are damn right. There's this announcement Ojukwu made in 1969 about the state of Nigeria then, exactly what is still happening in today's "One Nigeria".

He said the northern rule was so full of corruption (that's in 1960s oo), nepotism, northerners were looting money, no development, they were acquiring illegal wealth, tribalistic as of then oo, they were over violent and were killing other tribes in their thousands esp Igbo pple, the marginalization and the way the North were lording over everytin in politics made him realize that the South and those pple up North did not have anytin in common.

He secceeded Biafra, and Gowon declared war on Biafra.

This country called Nigeria is so polarised and i know the people who founded it designed it specifically for this purpose inother for them to easily rule Nigeria. I watched a clip where the sarduanu of sokoto was saying something during the 60s. Immediately it occured to me that the problem we have did not start today and seriously i don't see it ending any time soon.
