Biafra ; And Its One Sided Stories. by UnimkeAk(m): 7:15pm On May 30, 2017 |
Nigeria and Biafra : Is Warfare one sided? How come no one remembers all the atrocities the Biafra soldiers perpetrated on those who were minorities in Biafra? Ask an Ikwerre man or an Ejagam woman or even an ijaw his or her experience in the hands of their soldiers (Biafran soldiers) then you will realize why South south would rather die than join this movement! When the war broke out, Biafra had stationed some of its troops in the Cross River region including Ikun in Biase Local Government. Though the Ikun initially supported Biafra and had friendly relations with the soldiers, as time went on tensions emerged. Some Ikun men were suspected of collaborating with Nigerian soldiers with no hard evidence. As a result, murder, arrests, looting and rapes was meted on that community. 100 men were killed in the presence of their wives, children,mothers that day to teach the other a lesson. William Norris of the London Times who visited Biafra reported an eye witness account of how Ibibio men were surrounded and beaten to death in Umuahia on April 2 1968. They were reportedly forced to march across an open space while the local people attacked them with sticks and clubs. On another episode, Biafra soldiers took Ikun men to Ohafia for a meeting but never came back with them. An informant alleged that soldiers returned to the community and rounded up some men within their reach and shot them. A survivor who lost her four day old son and grandmother seemed to have suspected foul play from the Ohafia people with whom they share a common boundary. This victimization continued until the Biafra headquarters issued a statement to stop the genocide. However by this time, the remaining people had escaped leaving behind only soldiers and Ohafia, also some Ikun with a mixed blood of half Ohafia Warfare is never one sided! #CrossRiverian #Nigerian #GodblesstheFederalRepublicOfNigeria ©Kay Cole Personally - My late granddad told us about the war, my mom was a child of about 6 , he was accused of being a sabouteur , he told us of how they suffered during the civil war cuz of biafra soldiers, even at the point when there was no food, they relied on cassava leaves , the biafran soldiers would shit , mix it up with water and pour it on the leaves. I shall never support biafra. 12 Likes |

UnimkeAk: My father was and still is a proud Biafran Soldier. He fought alongside many from the minorities such as Ibibio, Ogoja, Oron and even Ijaws. He fought with to them until end of the war. In the Biafran war, attrocities were commited on both sides, but mostly by Nigerians to a large extent. Herdsmen are currently butcharing thousands of people all over Southern Nigeria including the minorities every year. Has that made stop believing in Nigeria? 9 Likes |

I didn't bother to read the entire epistle. Just understand that no one is preventing you from telling your story if you feel strongly about it. The Jews have not forgotten their story and the evil of Hitler's Nazi. Same applies to the Armenians as it relates to their suffering under the Turkish empire. In every parts of the world where people suffered injustice the narratives are always kept alive so it is not repeated. The dark sides of our history must never come back. If you are not telling your own story I must say it is not a living conviction inside you, and where this is the case you will look weak and ineffective demonstrating what you don't believe in no matter how hard you try. Even your own conscience will do you battle. Watch the body language of the Igbo as they discuss the issues surrounding Biafra. It is only a fool and deeply evil at heart that will deny the injustice the Igbo had to bear. 5 Likes |

BornAgainMay: Maybe that's why Biafrans were also killed; they were Saboteurs of Nigeria, right? *Sometimes you guys needs to be sincere for once! I know from authoritative sources that the minorities hated Biafra because of the excesses of the Biafran soldiers. Till date, those who witnessed the war still have that unspoken hatred to anything Igbo. The present minorities in the SS are only dissolutioned with Buhari because of his foolishness otherwise, they'd stone any mentioning of Biafra. 4 Likes |

Lemme add to it.. Igbo women and kids started having kwashiorkor and other diseases due to biafran soldiers maltreatment. The stored up food for themselves and the few ones they saw fit to fight among them. They preferred to see the foods waste and spoil than to see the children eat from them. This is nothing but the sad truth 2 Likes |
