Im sure this dude watches Tv through his neighbour's window, imagine the unlettered mentally weak individual, he has braced up to argue with his father, you have nothing but emptiness to offer me, I will be doing a great disservice to myself wasting my knowledge on you, at least you have learnt the Heglig crisis, with time you will catch up! I understand how desperate you are to feel among, relax your time hasn't come.

Afamed:

These are the kind of questions you suppose to be asking kanu who is pushing you for Biafra. Since he has been promising you heaven on earth. To Nnamdi and his co traveller Biafra will automatically become New York, the day they seceded.

"The oil revenue issue, however, came to a head when Gowon, on 27 May 1967, divided the country into twelve states. The Eastern Region was split into three states: South Eastern State, Rivers State and East Central State. This effectively excised the main oil-producing areas from the core Ibo state (East Central State). On 30 May 1967, Ojukwu declared independence and renamed the entire Eastern Region 'the Republic of Biafra'. As part of the effort to get the Biafran leadership to change its mind, the Federal government placed a shipping embargo on the territory."
Jump up ^ Kirk-Greene, The Genesis of the Nigerian Civil War (1975), p. 6. "The final high water, and the greatest of flood tides, of this phase of Gowon's leadership came in May 1967 with his Decree – and only a no-nonsense, no-referendum military government could have effected overnight such a fundamental reversal of half a century of Nigeria's political history and administrative thinking – to replace the four Regions by twelve States. Whether Decree No. 14 was designed to forestall secession (would-be Biafra was now to consist of 3 states instead of the Eastern Region, two of them mischievously emphasising the East's long-contained minorities problem of Ibibio/Efik discontent and Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers separatism, and the third a landlocked, oil-less, overpopulated Ibo enclave) or whether it pushed Ojukwu into the final defiance of declaring a secessionist Republic remains a matter of argument. What remains unchallenged is the unequalled point of no return in Nigeria's history that the States Decree constitutes."

"The FMG's major strategic advantage was not its military force, but its diplomatic status: internationally recognised statehood. That the FMG could argue that it was a sovereign government facing an 'insurgency' was decisive. […] Nigeria's secured diplomatic status was also crucial for the most significant development in the war's early stages: the FMG's decision to blockade the secessionist state. To cut off Biafra's lines of communication with the outside world, air and sea ports were blockaded, foreign currency transactions banned, incoming mail and telecommunication blocked and international business obstructed. Even with its limited resources, Nigeria was able to organise a successful blockade without gaping holes or long interruptions--mostly because other governments or companies were ready to acquiesce to Lagos' handling of the matter."

"Within a month of full military conflict, the Nigerian government captured the important Island of Bonny from the Biafrans. The British High Commissioner articulated the importance of this capture at the time: 'This not only tightens the grip on the blockade and gives the Federal Government a first footing in the Rivers Province; it places in their hands the most valuable part of Shell-BP installations, for the storage tanks, the pumping station and the tanker terminal are all at Bonny.' At the time of the capture, the Nigerian government claimed that the Island was taken 'without any damage' to Shell-BP's installations there."
Jump up ^ Uche, "Oil, British Interests and the Nigerian Civil War" (2008), p. 132. "Despite the return of Gray, and the interest of Shell-BP and the British government in getting the oil machines pumping again, the state of war and its attendant hazards ensured that this could not happen immediately. It was not until May 1968, when Nigerian marines captured Port Harcourt, that it was adjudged safe by Shell-BP to send an advance team to both Bonny and Port Harcourt to assess the state of their production facilities."
Jump up ^ Uche, "Oil, British Interests and the Nigerian Civil War" (2008), pp. 133–134. "The problem was that the oil had to be shipped through Bonny, which at the time was not safe. Furthermore, silting of the approaches to the Bonny terminal during the early parts of the war reduced its unit tanker capacity from 70,000 tons to about 40,000 tons. Even with the use of smaller tankers, the short haul from Nigeria to Britain was still more profitable than the Cape route used for Gulf oil. Despite the prospects for Eastern Region oil, the civil war made the source unreliable. Luckily for Shell-BP, prior to the war, it had planned a second terminal off Forcados, which was in Federal territory. Construction of the terminal and the pipelines, which started during the war, took 18 months and was completed in the middle of 1969."

Portugal also provided weapons to Biafra, as did Czechoslovakia, until the Soviet invasion in 1968. The Biafrans set up an office in Paris called the 'Biafran Historical Research Centre', which was Ojukwu's contact point with Mauricheau-Beupré, Falques and Denard. The Centre allowed Ojukwu to purchase arms directly from European arms dealers. Denard would purhcase arms from Czechoslovakia and ship them by sea to Biafra via Libreville. Starting in October 1967, there were also direct Czech arms flights, by a network of pilots led by Jack Malloch, a Rhodesian in contact with Houphouët-Boigny and Mauricheau-Beupré."

On 12 June, after the riots had subsided, a French ministerial council decided to impose an official arms embargo on both Nigeria and Biafra, and to start providing direct humanitarian aid to Ojukwu.

[…] The French government's next step after the 31 July statement was to launch a major campaign to gain public funding for humanitarian operations in Biafra. The campaign was coordinated at the highest levels of government, and the French Foreign Ministry files make it clear that the French television service and the French Red Cross were required to get governmental approval to ask for funds. The French public eventually contributed 12,600,000 francs. The French press continued a concerted campaign throughout August 1968 to alert the public to the humanitarian situation."

Now I know you need to see a psychiatrist.

How about you bring an authority quote from your "better source," any source that shows Colonel Mohammed Shuwa did not start the war on 6 July 1967, that Shell-BP did not pay Biafra after the war started when they were advised against it by the British government, and that Nigerian troops did not capture Bonny Island towards the end of the July 1967.

Just one source?

These are the references and Bibliographies for that Wikipedia Article. Removed some as the post was too long. You can find all of them in the link -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War

jpphilips:



Are you saying that till this moment you still don't know there was a pipeline crisis before the civil war?
this is the highest level of mental ineptitude.

Sudan declared war on the South not immediately after the referendum but when the Pipeline issue arose,

LordAdam16:


ID**T!

Before independence, the North and South had an agreement that the North would receive 50% of the share of oil proceeds from the South since the pipelines ran through the North to Port Sudan. This agreement was to run from 2005 to 2011 when the referendum was to occur.

After independence in 2011, the North still wanted the 50-50 split and Sudan wanted to charge US$34 per barrel to transport oil through the pipeline to the oil terminal at Port Sudan.

In response, South Sudan suspended oil production in [b]January[/b0] 2012.

So what 2012 pipeline crises are you talking about? And more importantly how did it lead to a war between Sudan and South Sudan, since the Heglig Crisis and the pipeline crises were two different crisis. One was South Sudan seizing the oilfields in Heglig (located in Sudan, and so it was South Sudan invading and not the other way around) and the other about Sudan asking for unfair renumeration to transport South Sudanese crude.

Should I look for a Yoruba translator to translate this for you, since you've shown to be completely inept at reading and comprehension?

That is why I'm asking you, if you have just one news source to prove this statement of yours:



Just one!

And expectedly, you can't find one. Not even one.

So you are a pathological l**r who shouldn't be taken seriously.

You are an ID**T!

LordAdam16:


Where in that article, did it prove this statement of yours:



Where in that article did it report that Sudan declared war on the South when the pipeline issue arose?

You are even more stu**d that previously thought, you can't even read the headline -- "South Sudan says Sudan tried to build "illegal" oil pipeline."



That proves my statement. Can you bring say the same for the bunch of trash you've been typing.

And this episode you're referring to was after the Heglig crisis.



So you skipped the pipeline negotiations fall out of 2011, skipped the Heglig crisis of 2012 when South Sudan invaded Sudan, and then landed on the skirmishes over illegal building of pipelines by Sudan as the cause of a war that NEVER HAPPENED!

In that same article, this was written:



Clashes in the ill-defined border region, not the pipeline crisis, was the cause of concern, and more importantly, no new war occurred. Instead later in 2013, the South Sudan civil war started.

So ID**T, again I ask, can you bring any article that proves this st*p*d statement of yours:



ID**T.

-Lord

The division gave South Sudan about three quarters of the country's oil production, but it must still use pipelines and other facilities running through Sudan to export it, and the two have failed to agree how much it should pay to do this.

South Sudan's army "discovered an illegal pipeline that was being built by Sudan ... This is oil piracy," military spokesman Philip Aguer said by phone on Thursday, a day after South Sudan said it had shot down a Sudanese MiG-29 aircraft over South Sudan's oil-producing Unity state.


The two former civil war foes have been locked in a bitter dispute over oil payments and other issues, and clashes in the ill-defined border region last week gave rise to concern they might blow up into a new war.

Like kanu said, an average IPOB member lacks the ability to reason, congratulations!!! you have proved to the world how mentally deficient you are, remember, the internet hardly forgets

What you do not know is that by April 2012, north and South have not reached any deal on that pipeline use confirmed by the very first paragraph in that article, You can not convince any sane person you know of any 2011 deal when you have been ranting in denial of any pipeline crisis.

in fact, that Article was written on 5th April 2012, South sudan had independence in 2011 by April 2012, no agreement has been reached, i don't really expect you to know that do I?
The South shot down an MIG belonging to the North in April 2012, im sure you don't know that MiG-29 is a war plane, neither do i expect you to know that when two warring sides start shooting down their planes that such aggression is an act of war!!
You see how the half education you have has put you to shame!!

You can send Nnamdi Kanu to me for proper schooling

The thing is; Niger delta needs serious protection from the Biafrans, who else can guarantee that if not the Buratai boys? I don't see any choice here, ND is for Nigeria for their own good!! should they think otherwise, Nigeria will move in to secure her oil and gas assets,
any attempt to play around it will be met with AK/RPG blazing force, for the Niger delta, it is a lose lose situation.

seunmsg:


Don't get it twisted at all, the day Biafra secedes legally, all Igbos living in any part of Nigeria will be doing so illegally. Government may round up all of them and throw them into prison or dump them at the Onitsha bridge depending on how the break up occurred. Nigeria's breakup will either be violent or on very hostile terms if violence is not involved. You people will be entitled to absolutely nothing once you succeed in breaking up the country. I will advice you all start selling your belongings now and relocate the ones that can be relocated to the east before it is too late. Igbos will not be allowed to own a pin in Nigeria once Biafra secedes. You cannot eat your cake and still have it.

I am a lawyer and here is a legal dimension.
First note that all lands in Nigeria by virtue of the Land Use Act, 1978 is owned by the state, federal government and local government accordingly. Developed parts are owned by the state through the state governor, the undeveloped parts are owned by the local government, while those areas acquired by federal government are owned by the Federal government.
Individuals and even corporate organizations are mere tenants to the the real owners, the governments! hence, the issuance of cofo, consent, excision, ratifications et al.
Once a property is abandoned as it will be, when the biafrans bolt, the properties will revert to the real owners that is the state government, local government or federal government vide a legal principle called bona vacantia.
Note the legal principle of quic quid plantatur solo solo cedit, he who owes the land owes what is on it, all the developments on the lands become that of the real owner.
