It doesn't matter the number of ethnic groups you have in those countries, what mattered is that members of those ethnic groups are comfortable with their countries and so they remain there.

Ndiigbo don't want anything to do with Arewa-Oduanistans, just as the Croats and Kosovos didn't want anything to do with Serbia in Yugoslavia, and so sought for their own countries independent of Serbians, they could have cared less that India have hundreds of ethnic group living together, that is India headache and choice and has no influence whatsoever on Croatians desire for independence from Serbians in Yugoslavia.

Same scenario applies in Biafra case. Substitute Biafra with Croatia, Serbians for Arewa-Oduanistans and Yugoslavia for Nigeria, and you get a similar scenario.

abikubu:


Are you the spokesman for Ndiigbo? There is no request before Nigeria for ibo-own country. You are just blowing stale air! Kosovo exists only in name as it is not recognised by the UN.

What's your point in posting those pictures

Croatia, Bosnia and Hezegovina etc,all resulted from the people rejection of Serbia and Belgrade dominion.

Are you for real? Biafrans fought a war for three years and lost millions in effort to be free of the Arewa-Oduanistans burden in Nigeria. What other evidence do you want to show that Biafrans desire independent existence?

Another Biafran war?

Are you running away from the truth? Would you rather prefer you were not reminded of Ojukwu's despicable iniquity against his own people? It is a testimony to a man's inordinate ambition!

pazienza:


The aim is the aim of all parasites. To scare the host from trying to fight it off. To force the host into submission.

If only they( the parasites) know that such pictures only inspire Biafrans to never rest until Biafra is actualized.

Those pictures inspire a sense of injustice, a sense of loss that must be regained, a sense of revenge, attrition and more hatred for Nigeria as an entity for Nigeria on Biafrans.

Those pictures only serve to fuel the desire for Biafra, by reminding Biafrans of what our enemies are capable of, and why they must be defeated.

Which cave did you dust yourself off from? You live in the past.

On 12 January 1970 Biafran Chief of Army Staff Major General Phillip Effiong surrendered to the Nigerian government, stating Biafra's physical and psychological surrender:

"We are firm, we are loyal Nigerian citizens and accept the authority of the Federal Military Government. We accept the existing administrative and political structure of the federation of Nigeria. The
Republic of Biafra hereby ceases to exist"

You need your head examined. Biafra lost the war. What did you expect Biafrans to do? Continue fighting when it was obvious that we were not just fighting Arewa-Oduanistans, but the British, USSR and the Egyptians?

Of course, the war stopped, but that does not in any way mean that Biafrans accepted Nigeria. We just didn't have the wherewithal to sustain the war against such a formidable gang up of super powers.

[b]You have reduced the discussion to alternating between whimpering and bigotry, which I will not dignify with further response hereafter.

No body forced you into Nigeria. Indeed, one of your eminent sons, Zik, fought for Nigerian independence. You were happy for Ibos to be at the helm of affairs in Nigeria but as soon as power slipped from your hands, you started churning out outlandish excuses for Ibo-own country!
Power slipped from your hands because of that same tribal bigotry that conspired with Biafra to eliminate all National and regional leaders except of Ibos' extraction. This is the genesis of your mistrust in Nigeria. As for your threat of achieving Biafra come rain come sun shine, only an unhinged general will brag of running away from the war front as a feat.
No matter what unbaked response you care to write, I will not grace it any further but will leave you with this haunting images of what tribal bigotry, egocentricity and mad bragging entailed. Take a look:[/b]

You can find any excuses under the sun for losing the war but biafra had backers too: France, South Africa, Portugal etc. Try anything this time, and you will see a fate worse than those pictures. More modern weapons will be tested on you.

The US engineered nothing. Those ethnic nations USSR were tired of Russia and Moscow domination. They wanted to control their own destinies, they have their own countries.
They were only lucky that the US interest aligned with theirs.

In case of Yugoslavia, those other ethnicities in Yugoslavia we're tired of Serbia and Belgrade control, they wanted their own independent countries, they were only lucky that the foreign power interest aligned with theirs, so they helped them.

In the case of Biafra, the desire of Biafrans for independence was not in alliance with those of the Caucasian super powers, because :

1, the British had interests of exploiting the Eastern region crude oil wealth, it needed docile and subservient rulers to achieve that, Ojukwu and Biafrans are not known for being subservient, the British felt that the Arewa-Oduanistans were their best bet if they must control and exploit the Eastern region oil wealth.

2. Biafra is the Blackman challenge of the convention reached by Caucasian powers in Berlin 1885, if Biafra was allowed to secede, the rest of Africans might start questioning the Caucasian abomination called countries created at Berlin. Biafra would have sent a domino effect throughout Africa that might see the redrawing of the African countries map and see to the emergence of real nations build on mutual consent by component ethnic groups. This obviously didn't suit well into their( Caucasian powers) exploitation plans for Africans.
Real strong African nations wouldn't be so easy to exploit, abominations and aberrations like Nigeria and the rest, are sitting ducks waiting for exploitation.

Amansu:


Is you who deliberately side-stepped the cogent response to your post by Wale6run and I quote it here for you.

pazienza:


France only gave partial help to Biafra, but withdrew from giving any help at all, when the British forced her to.

The Caucasian powers are like wolves, once it comes to the affairs of the black, they hunt in pack.

If Biafra got full military help from France throughout the war, the outcome of the war would have been different.
Portugal helping Biafra? Where did you get that from? No such help came from Portugal.

BIAFRA MILITARY

On the Biafran side, preparation for war was put into high gear as soon as the troops of non - Eastern origin withdrew from Enugu in August of 1966. Thousands of people poured in for recruitment. Training was embarked upon both for officers and soldiers who were mainly lecturers and university students. Before the outbreak of hostility, the Eastern Region had no sufficient arms since all the soldiers who returned to the region did so without their arms while the soldiers who were withdrawn from the East departed with their weapons. What was left of the Nigerian Army at Enugu barracks amounted to about 240 soldiers, the majority of them technicians and tradesmen and not all the soldiers had weapons. However at the outbreak of the war, the Eastern Region had succeeded in securing arms and ammunition from France, Spain and Portugal. Madiebo remarked, "When more weapons were received in May 1967, a decision was taken to form two new battalions to be called the 9th and 14th Battalions." (2:100)

POLITICAL / DIPLOMATIC

The Biafrans knew that the odds against them was immense and that their survival depended on the amount of external support they were able to muster. The Biafrans, through many of their people abroad, mounted a very strong campaign and propaganda for the recognition of Biafra by the international community and for the purchase of arms and equipment. This powerful propaganda paid off by her recognition by countries like, Tanzania, Zambia, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Haiti, covert support by France and double dealing by countries like West Germany, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Republic of Dahomey, Sierra Leone and secret importation of arms and ammunition into the region. http://www.africamasterweb.com/BiafranWarCauses.html

Lol! I never mentioned Niger delta in any of my post, as the term Niger delta is nebulous, ambiguous and dynamic.

This was supposed to be a Biafran thread where Biafrans discuss about the greatness of Biafra, but here you are, an Arewa-Oduanistan, taking panadol over Biafrans problems.

You should be asking yourself why you are not discussing about your Arewa-Oduanistan republic. *grins

Are you so forgetful?! Typical no-hope biafran!
Listen, Mr okoro, you referred to "Eastern Oil" as your oil even as far back as 1885 and Nigeria a parasite!
Hausa, Yoruba and majority of Nigerians are happy being Nigerians and will not exchange their country for another.
Neither are we interested in forming a new country out of Nigeria.
You are the one crying over a dead and buried biafra on the internet.
We are only providing you with original panadol as opposed fake ibo-made!

pazienza:
Getting support from countries and getting direct full uninterrupted military support by way of constant supply of weapons and other logistics are two different things.

Biafra received many moral supports from many countries, but military support? I nada. France was giving Biafra low grade military weapons at meagre quantities at the beginning, but quickly pulled out when the British forced her stand down, probably reminding her of their colonial pacts.

Britain made it clear that keeping Nigeria one was its objective, the US said that a United Nigeria will serve the interest of USA better than a divided one, and so choose to look the other way and let Britain have her way.

Your love for one Nigeria will not restore Awo's rat poison ravaged body back to life.

It won't make the General condition of Yorubas better than those of Ndiigbo, despite your heist of the Nigerian economy right after the war.

Most importantly, your affinity to one Nigeria will not stop Biafrans from getting Biafra in the end, neither will it stop you from getting your appropriate reward, which is Boko Islamic Sharia republic of Arewa-Oduanistan.

Your hatred of Biafra or love for the colonial entity called Nigeria, will not stop any of the above.
