Lies. I have been to dat musuem in umuahia. Some of those weapons were used in world war 2. It was boldy written on picture number 3 u posted dat it was used in d battle of stalingrand. Most were modified and nt manufactured. grin
You must be kidding me.
There are no military hardwares on this thread that were used in WW2 by any of the principal players. These hardwares are a little bit relatively crude for that era.
Nigeria that did not allow food by even the red cross for innocent biafrans would definitely have blocked import of military hardwares into biafran territory.

[b]After the war, the priority of the Gowon Government was how to get oil flowing. No one was really interested in technology. To this day, the priority of Government is oil flow and not human development. My father, an ex Biafran Soldier, told me the story of the Ogbunigwe. It actually looked like a metal bucket with wires coming out of it. All they had to do was bury it or keep it somewhere then retreat leaving the Nigerian Soldiers to come ion it then it would explode and kill everybody insight. My father said he lost count how many Nigerian Soldiers he winessed die from Ogbunigwe. Later, Biafrans developed the flying Ogbunigwe. While Nigeria was enjoying a blockade enforced by British Warships and air superiority by Russian Jetfighters, Biafra was manufacturing it's own guns,bombs and tanks. Biafrans fought with nothing for 3 years against a much larger, better equiped and better funded side and gave a good account of themselves. I'm proud of all of them [/b]
See lies, chai!
The same biafra that were queuing over a gun were manufacturing guns? Lol!
And no British blockage caused your shortage of arms! It was your lack of money once your looted Nigeria notes were made worthless through Awolowo tactical genius!

Btw, ojukwu would have made a decent president.
The way he was able to harness igbo ingenuity under periods of intense stress is nothing short of brilliant.
This is the kind of progress you can make when you have a true nation, something Nigeria will never be.
Lmao!
Leading 3mil ibos to their slaughter ground while saving his skin!
Hijacking foods meant for ibo civilians and refugee to feed his biafra comrades. While thousand of ibos were ravaged with kwarshiokor!
Fleeing like a transgender to Abidjan and returning to contest in the same Nigeria!
What an hero!

The ogbunigwe for example is not a weapon that has any known foreign origin.
The tanks on display definitely looks like something crudely created from scratch.
Of course, it is possibly some Nigerian hardwares may have been modified.
But then you should know that Modifications of scanty Nigerian imported military hardwares is even brilliant given that Nigeria cannot replicate such. China became a military giant by modifying.
Nigeria till today find it difficult to reverse engineer an old t-55 tank that has been in her possession for decades.
Modification is definitely not a common skill found in these parts of the world till today.

There are proof of biafran military innovations even in european historical sources.
The war musuem is in umuahia is riddled with indigenous military products made by biafran engineers and physicists.
Nigeria did not develop anything neither did she improved. There are no musuems heralding Nigerians civil war innovations.
Other nations grow and develop after a civil war but not Nigeria.
The only thing noteworthy of Nigeria was enriching the soviet union.
