OWERRI—Memories of the Nigeria/Biafra war was yesterday, re-enacted in Owerri, as the Consultant to the Federal Ministry of Defence, Professor Bala Jack Yakubu, displayed some deadly weapons manufactured by Biafran engineers. According to Professor Yakubu, “all the weapons were recovered from the war theatres in parts of the South East and South South States and carefully detonated.” Some of the home- made weapons included the multi-barrel ogbunigwe, anti-personnel land mines, improvised explosive devices, Ojukwu anti-mines (made like vehicle hydraulic jack), and anti-tank mines, for trucks, tanks and armoured personnel carriers. Other weapons displayed at the event included long range rocket launcher, anti aircraft missile, bunker cracker launch system, short range round steel ogbunigwe, Ojukwu air launch weapon system (air drop bomb), Ojukwu mortar, Ojukwu bucket and others. Yakubu lamented that the remnants of the weapons used in the various theatres of war, have sadly continued to kill, or permanently maim unsuspecting citizens. “We are showcasing some of the weapons manufactured by Biafran engineers. They caused a lot of harm during the war and today, innocent people are the casualties of these remnants of war”, Yakubu said. While appealing to Nigerians to report any suspicious objects to the nearest security agencies, Yakubu however warned that people in North Eastern States were likely to experience the same thing, when insurgency is finally crushed. Speaking also, Professor Chinedum Adiele, who represented Shedrack Eneogwe, said that it was shameful that the remnants of these dangerous weapons were still killing and maiming people till today.

Leave this people alone.

Where the weapon nah

Anaekwuerii....tuuuuuuuu government. Ana ako tuuuuuuuuuu

After World war 2, the US and USSR scrambled to get the best German scientists, they took them home, gave them citizenship and maximized their potentials to make great advancement in various scientific and military fields. In Nigeria, after the civil war, the government disbanded the biafran RAP(Research And Production) team. Killed some of the chief scientists, jailed some,some went into exile and the rest just decided to live low profile to avoid persecution. These guys were able to manufacture all these weapons in 1967 without support from the advanced countries, just imagine if Nigeria had harnessed their potentials to the maximum!! Instead in 2017 we are still buying weaponry. Even common rifle we can't manufacture. This is the problem with Nigeria and most of Africa, We think upside down and we behave upside down

You mean advanced weapons like the revolver like rifle ?

who is surprised about this? we are already the most intelligent black race! our students out perform their counter parts in brain test examination at home and beat whites abroad!

2015-Harold Ekeh
2016- Augusta Nwa-Amanzu
2017- Ifeoma White Torpe
we are always admitted into schools of the specially gifted!(ivy league schools) we high IQ matters!

they said that our home success is as a result of miracle centers but what about our students abroad? this thing is in our DNA,Jewish DNA.

afonjas education sophistication myth bursted back to back!
