when will you have sense ? You compare macro technology with nano technology ? Bullets need precision and specification so it can fit on guns not like those machines.. Let me ask you ; crafting a cutlass and a needle which do you think will be easier ??

Guys let us forge ahead and forget the past , its war which we all know that no victor no vanquish . Let us respect each other and stop condemning each other . During wars countries improvise on what they dont have and usually they develop quite rapidly post war example are germany, japan , us the whole europe etc . Sincerely we should be far beyond what we are now .

bro never mind I'm very schooled in history. I didn't even do (.coms), I read actual books. Now techies in ww11 were not in the front lines. That's why they ended up in allied hands after the conflict. There are numerous accounts of the mercenaries that fought on the side of biafra, none described them as techies.

Yoruba controls 70% of the ICT in Nigeria, how and when? Can you please post your data and also show us the percentages by tribe?
You should also post the numbers of indigenous application built by Yorubas that gives it this 70% lead. These applications must be world standard, and used by global communities. Links should also be provided..
You should also lists the start ups that really having global impact in the tech industry by Yorubas which add up to the 70%...
Please do, or forever, keep quiet.

Professor Gordian Ezekwe regarded by his peers as "superhuman" led the Biafrran Research and Production Unit. Like Prof Bart Nnaji, Prof. Ezekwe was a visiting professor to top engineering schools in UK and US teaching white people on complex mechanical designs.

U said it right there! Big houses, but d source of d big houses are in yorubaland, creating employment and improving economic activities, all in yorubaland!

Guy, I just want peace! The same way d US doesn't care ur part of d world, but just encourage ur potential is d same thing yorubaland does!

I want to be able to go to any part of Naija n assume my investments are safe, my interests protected and my security guaranteed! When I hear my supposed brothers insisting on going their separate ways, after welcoming them in my home, its a betrayal!

An Igboman n a Yorubaman in d UK, will be termed Nigerians and quite separate from Ghanians, we are blood brothers, birthed together.

Demanding biafra is a rejection of d hand of fellowship, of brotherhood. If we are to av any beef, it should be btw us n d northerners, who av several times ejected us from their lands!

I'm beginning to develop hatred for Igbos, d same way I will develop for a brother who inspite of opening my home and heart to, insists on remaining selfish, self-centered and ungrateful! Now he has found wealth, he now remembers he has a home he wants only for himself?!

Instead of quietly migrating back home and developing biafra to a world destination, he is insisting on separating entirely?! Left to me, u can go, I always had brains now I've learnt ruthless biz acumen from u.


I speak for myself, anyway!

First thing you learn in university is that you don't reference Wikipedia. Rather you find, read and reference the article/ publication cited in Wikipedia.

well sweetheart this aint no academic paper. this is nairaland

Lets analyze your claim. One truck carrying gasoline was aimed at, as a result over 100 trucks behind it ignited in inferno at the same time, incinerating all 100 simultaneously, is it scientifically plausible?

lol...This one is a stark illiterate.Go and learn from half literate Igbo like Ikechu1 and he will lie to you illiterate that it was Banjo...the only warrior...leading Igbo cowards and weaklings...that made 200 yorubas decimate ten thousands Igbos.He has forgotten that Yorubas are empire builders.. the considerate warriors...the SCORPIONS...ah ah ah

how sure are you they were just combatants with no military technology capabilities?
Very funny, so u don't know that soldiers of the latter part of the 20th century were to a great extent military technologists too with chemical, weilding skills et all. Pls pay quora.com a visit especially the WWII section and upgrade your knowledge. But I must warn you! U must be ready to really read!

dadaha:


OK, ma

Griffin, "French military policy in the Nigerian Civil War" (2015), p. 122. "De Gaulle made the decision to begin regular French arms shipments to Biafra on 17 or 18 October 1967. De Gaulle was very reluctant to send weapons from French stocks, and only agreed when Foccart suggested sending captured German and Italian weapons from World War II with the serial number scratched off. The weapons would not be sent directly to Ojukwu, but would go through Houphouët-Boigny, so that it looked like France was replenishing the Ivory Coast's stocks as stipulated in the normal bilateral military assistance agreements."

sukkot:
you do know someone on here has provided videos where the french are admitting to their culpability and their role in the biafran war and how they supplied all the weapons right ? keep going through the thread you will run into the videos. i hope that is not enough to convince you, unless of course you want me to manufacture a time machine to take you back to the sixties so you can see for yourself

somegirl1:


I choose the latter, when will your time machine be ready?

activeguy:
I give it to them. ..the igbos.

They achieved a feat that no 3rd world country could boast of presently.,let alone half a century ago.

Biafrans are really Gods gift to the black nation but as usual devil will always try to fight that.... even if it means using his minions in the likes the brutishs and their slaves gambaris and afonjas. ..

But at the end victory will surely be ours., black nation must surely be liberated..

even with all this inventions,we still overran you....

you may have the brains,but we have the numbers....dont underestimate us....

dont you think its a better idea to combine brains and numbers than fighting each other the ol time??..

LOL am enjoying this show mehn, I love how the yoruba folks re dealing with the biafraudians

The biafraudians can produce Armoured. Tanks and a bomb that can. Wipe. Entire nigerian army but cannot produce a bullet

fkj950ax:
First and foremost, I am with the side that insists and believe Nigeria cannot split along ethnic lines.

I disagree with the Ibos and Biafra agitation in this post.

The truth is the equipments in this post are retrofits of existing vehicles. The Biafran army had foreign backers who supplied them with hardware and training from illegal crude sales.

Did they retrofit the vehicles for use by their military? YES!

Did they manufacture and develop them. No

I find it insulting for some people to try and cloak our sensibilities by saying an army that "manufactured" tanks and howitzer and built bunkers with ventilation technology lost the war because they couldn't manufacture bullets... Haba.

Even the palm wine tapper makes his bullets.

Biafran lost the war due to total blockade of the area, which caused starvation. The best equipped, trained and experience soldier without food is worse than a boys scout.

The blockade was introduced to stop foreign mercenaries (France I think, not so sure) from assisting the Biafran army.

The swap of the currency also brought this.

All these were war strategies Ojukwu and his lieutenants didn't know.

Hardware and technology doesn't win war. Negotiations, compromise and strategies win wars.

What happened to the technologies of Ibos? The truth is there was no technology, just imitations, copy cats and poorly done copies. These were the 80s and 90s Aba made and fake parts. The Ibos lost the opportunity to become great simply because their leaders refused to invest inward and protect their people.

revolt:
hehe trust me I'm very schooled in history and I didn't do (.coms). The techies in WWII were NOT at the front lines, explains why they all fell into allied hands, after the war.
Now various history books, have described the biafran conflict and the role the mercenaries played in them. None described them as techies but just ww1 veterans from Belgium n southafrica looking for coin. I don't know why it's so important for you to rewrite history and disclaim the achievements by the s and r team. The same reason nigeria refused to integrate these techies after the war. This is where the Blackman will always remain backwards. Cos he puts ego n nepotism before science. The US quickly took advantage of the services of Japanese techies irrespective of the fact they'd conquered Japan and hated the gooks. Cos science isn't what you play politics with, rather no matter how little it is, should be improved on at all cost.

That's what makes great sicieties.
