Speaking with Vanguard in Uyo,Ekefre chided the Igbo for abandoning Gen. Effiong, the vice president of the defunct Republic of Biafra who died in 2003 without Federal Government amnesty as was accorded Ojukwu.
He regretted that “the Igbo are expecting support forgetting that they all looked the other way and allowed Gen. Effiong who made the historic declaration that ended the bloody civil war to live and die a Biafra rebel while Ojukwu died a Nigerian Army General.
“Gen. Philip Effiong, an Ibiono Ibom man, was the Vice President to Ojukwu. Mr. M. U. Akpan, the Secretary to the Government of Biafra (SGB) was also from Ibiono. Gen. Effiong signed the instrument of surrender but when the Igbo were talking of payment of gratuity and pension, they only presented Gen. Ojukwu and refused to mention Gen. Effiong.
“He lived and died a Biafran military officer but Ojukwu’s rank was restored with salaries and gratuity paid from 1966. Today, the Igbo are complaining of marginalization and oppression, forgetting that justice and injustice should not be selective.”
He appealed to the Federal Government to make adequate compensation for the family of the late Gen. Effiong, noting that in the spirit of true reconciliation and justice, what was done to Ojukwu should be done to Gen. Effiong.

I THOUGHT SOUTH SOUTH IS NOT BIAFRA....HOW DID EFFIONG BECAME A BIAFRA GENERAL....the same effiong they created a thread that nnamdi visited with asari dokubo and he denounce NNAMDI KANU and told him to forget biafra....the mods have removed it from front page

mtcheww

This is a lie. Obasunjo restored the gratuity snd pension of all the former Nigerian officers who fought on the Biafran side, every one of them.

However, their gratuity was based on their original ranks in Nigeria, not Biafra.

Ojukwu was a General in Biafra but he was pensioned as a Lt Col because that is the rank he held in Nigeria before Biafra was declared.

It is not also true that Igbos forgot General Effiong. When General Effiong died, several bus loads of MASSOB members went to his village to give him one of greatest burias Ibiono people had ever seen.

The diabolical liars and propagandist have started another one.... It seems they are now channelling their evil propaganda in causing rift Ibibio and igbo

Nigeria abandoned all Igbo and Biafrans despite the so-called 3Rs


What special treatment came the way of any Igbo after the war for which Effiong was denied a part of?

Go to Oji river along Enugu-Onitsha express way and you will see many ex Biafra soldiers still nursing their wound. Were their ranks also restored?


Propaganda and lies from government.

THEY HAVE REMOVED THE THREAD FROM FRONT PAGE.... THERE MARKET IS NOT SELLING ANYMORE OR MAYBE THE MONEY PAID BY GOVERNMENT HAS EXPIRED.....FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD RENEW THEIR PAYMENT IF THEY WANT TO SEE ANTI BIAFRA POSTS ON FRONT PAGE

Looking @ odu.du.wa's children & their evil actions, it will not b out of place to call od.du.wa the devil himself.

Keep on screaming afonja when the truth is being said to your face. At least screaming afonja will defend you and cover your evil deed. By the way pig, how does nnamdi urine taste?
