TimeManager: What truth is there to kiss when people like you keep spewing the Lagos/Ibadan media version of the war? Ojukwu did not have the luxury of proper planning or logistics. Gowon had announced the abolishment of the 4 Regions including the Eastern Region and Ojukwu was left with 2 choices, declare Biafra now or or become a slave of the caliphate Ojukwu declared Biafra and Nigeria declared war. So it's not like Ojukwu had all the time in the world to prepare for war. But he gave a good account of himself for 3 years and that's what matters to his people than even the outcome of the war 3 Likes |

T9ksy:Here comes the blue ink scribbling Mo.ron with his "trying too hard to sound smart" nuance. There is something called "fraternizing", a common practice during war time between enemy sides, and was of course no exception in the Nigerian Civil War... at a stage in the war, fatigue and stalemate at the front line saw soldiers from both sides exchange gifts, food, war paraphernalias etc... And you are in no position to understand the anonymity of sacrifice... the desire for freedom and its cost of untold burdens whether ill conceived or not... But who I'm I kidding? your people have never fought for a cause besides useless politicking and ass kissing your Northern superiors... so your idiotic cliche about Ojukwu sending Biafrans to fight (the same Biafrans that mandated him to secede in the first place much against his will), is dead on arrival already, come up with a less predictable narrative. 4 Likes |

gidgiddy:Gowon collapsed the regions into States. He gave in the demands of the minority tribes by granting them autonomous states. Ojukwu would have done same or worse if he was the Head of states. kiss the truth! 2 Likes |

mpianya39: He does not need to tell you, ask your father how his own father who was your grandfather was killed with your grandmother. When you people picked up arms and ammunition against the Federal Government of Nigeria what were you expecting? Hand shakes or warm body hugs. If you start another nonsense, the 1967 to 1970 Christmas party will be repeated. |

TimeManager: It was not Gowons job to collapse the region's into states. The Region were negotiated by representatives of the people at independence. Gowons job was to hold elections and return Nigeria to democratic civil rule. How can Gowon who was never elected into office come from nowhere to destroy the 4 Regions that were democratically created? That was very wrong 2 Likes |

gidgiddy:The dude is a dunce. What this clowns fail to understand is that Biafra never got as much military support from the foreign powers as their make believe narratives keep telling them. Even Ojukwu himself wasn't prepared for the war, he only used hyperbolic nuances at the early stage of the budding crisis by making his famous statement that no black power in Africa could defeat Biafra if war came to her... just to offset the growing confidence in the Nigerian military circle of a quick and surgical Victory over the East. Ojukwu merely used reverse psychology, and it proved effective in delaying the declaration of war by Gowon on the East (the war on Biafran borders was supposed to come earlier than July 6,1967)...but the Federal side overestimated Ojukwu's bluff. Biafra from the onset got no full military support like the Nigerians did, and the support when it did come only came in spurts and bits from the rather overcautious French government... and it came rather belatedly at that when we were pretty much fighting on wobbly legs. The fact that Biafra endured the war for that long is very commendable, albeit for a symmetrical war with a vast Nigerian Army ceaselessly attacking a very small Biafran territory,.only an idiot will not give the Igbos credit for holding out that long. 4 Likes |

Strikethem:There were pockets of violence committed by Biafran soldiers in the Midwest, at least no truthful Igbo will deny that. But the Federal side took violence on their own side to a whole new level of barbarism, I'm not sure Biafrans rounded up thousands of innocent civilians and shot them in cold blooded frenzy like was documented in Asaba... that singular act alone dwarfed any Biafran atrocity. 2 Likes |

Bane2020: Gowon actually said at the start of the war that he had no money to fight the war. Luckily for him, Britain and Russia offered money while Saudi Arabia and the Arab league offered huge sums of money Had the international community stayed neutral, the outcome of the war would have been very different 2 Likes |

Strikethem: Don't mind them, my uncle's still give vivid description of what they did in the Midwest, it was one rape incidence at Abudu that led to the formation of the resistance movement who started slaughtering them in guerilla tactics before they were chased to Asaba. No one has ever complained about their atrocity in mid-west but they keep wailing like kids on how the now Benue army killed and raped their women, when in actual sense they started it. 3 Likes |

Strikethem:If you can't grasp simple context clues then you have to do better at basic reading and comprehension. But let me break it down for you, Nigeria got OVERWHELMING support from Britain, the former Soviet Union, Egyptian pilots flew your illyushin bombers for you, and wrecked untold horrors on non military facilities...the Nigerian cost of war expenditure ran into incalculable millions... the Brits gave you tanks, ferrets, Saladin armored cars, artillery guns and pieces of all ranges and calibers, war planes, kits, preponderance of heavy to small machine gunsetc... Biafra on the other hand got pretty much little to nothing in form of military support from world powers, we got just sympathy of promises, diplomatic recognitions from few countries, relief materials, and the closest to military aid we got was mostly obsolete WW2 sten guns, Cetme rifles, Mark 4 bolt action rifles(the type that makes shakakpum! when fired?... yeah picture that against the ratatatata of Nigerian machine guns in a typical battle scenario) few Kalashinovs, mortal barrels with poor ranges, and 60% of our weapons actually captured from the Nigerian soldiers... and the ubiquitous Ogbunigwe that was pretty much the mainstay of our defence, so yes in comparison to Nigeria... we were pretty much fighting the war by ourselves. 2 Likes |

gidgiddy:I must have been engaging a mumu all the while. Quick reminder; A military government rules by Decree. Anything done is binding. Gowon NEVER had a deal nor responsibility to conduct no election, rather, he came on, given the urgency of the time to stabilise an highly tensed nation following a counter coup. I know y'all would always deliberately flip over the fact that Aguiyi Ironsi collapsed our regional system into a unitary system. kiss the truth! 2 Likes |

It was a war against a brother and not a foe which explained the obvious supplies of foods and medical aids and relief materials given to biafran civilians by the FG under the supervision of the "Sage" Obafemi Awolowo. Otherwise the region would have been completely wiped out. kiss the truth! 2 Likes |
