mad man, take it easy people are dying everywhere even in Igbo land...one way or the other we must surely die at a time...so while jubilating the killings in Benue state have it at the back of ya mind that death is a uniform everyone will wear it and stop been stupid...

Hey Kiddo
When elders are talking..you shut up and listen..
Oh I forgot..You're from PoTo

Wifimoney1:


You are making it clear you don't know what you're talking about. You call 'war' as if you will stand when you see what real war is. Bros you are a lazy youth joor. Eh jo ko!

War will not take Nigerians where they're supposed to be, it's because we as youths are not ready to hold the bull by the horn. Can the Government kill or arrest over a thousand youths who stand up for what is right?


No time my people, what will our children say about us and what good did we leave for them? Just the way we are insulting OBJ & IBB, na so them go yab us too. So choose what you want.



One Nigeria, One People.

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.

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

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:

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!

But Ironsi never planned to achieve this feat you want Gowon to achieve.

They can only deceive themselves not Us. Ojukwu quickly declared the Mid west a Biafra Protectorate after having evaded it with account of apparent atrocities perpetrated by the biafran soilders until it was later liberated by the Nigerian Army.


kiss the truth!

TimeManager:

Enough of the chest beating megalomania.. 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!

Bane2020:

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.

So after all the school your parents wasted money for, u still don't have sense.. It is your type that will insult on social media, but I can bet you if you see this same man, u will be a most humble and respectful person to him

gidgiddy:


Ojukwu had ulterior ambition? That's news to us Igbos. What was this ambition? A new country and new begining? That is exactly what the East wanted at the time.

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.

Nothing ne[s]w. One time in a world war, the German military celebrated Christmas and it was recorded, had a football match with their enemies the Brit's. Later that evening they started killing each other after exchanging gifts earlier the same day.
Most foot soldier's have friends, in-laws and sometimes relatives behind enemy lines but unfortunately they must obey orders.
So many war's are avoidable and worse part is at the end, most of those who started it live to tell the tales in future.[/s]

Former military governor of Katsina and Plateau States, General Lawrence Onoja has revealed his civil war memoirs.

Onoja, 70, who fought gallantly during the civil war, which lasted between 1967 and 1970, recalled his encounter with the Biafran soldiers.

The retired war hero, said his surviving the war was a miracle of God, noting that many of his friends could not make it.

Speaking with DAILY POST, Onoja, a native of Benue State, recalled how they would send cigarettes and beer across the water to some Biafran soldiers during the war.

He said, “Surviving the war was a miracle of God. A lot of Idoma officers, who were with me in Port Harcourt were killed. I remember when they brought the dead bodies of George Lawani (younger brother to former deputy governor of Benue State) Col Shambe, a Tiv man, Francis Oluma, a native of Adoka here in Benue. I was very young.

“One day, I just received a call from the late Benjamin Adekule (Black Scorpion) in front of his office. I could remember vividly that what was written on the steel helmet in front of his office was ‘enter my office at the pain of death.’

“Adkunle posted me to meet my kinsman, Ignatius Obeya who was the then Brigadier Commander at Itu, CrossRiver State.

“At that time, you couldn’t connect Port Harcourt from Calabar because there was no road, you had to go through Aba, which was already held by Biafra.

“So, we had to connect through Igwenga to Abak, then we connected Oron before finally crossing to Calabar.

“I reported to Brig Obeya, Rtd and I was part of the operation from crossing Calabar to Itu through a river called Ikoto Okpora. I was made a brigade major to Obeya to ensure that the three battalions in the brigade were effectually controlled and commanded to fight the war.

“We were facing a place called Arochukwu across the water at the time. The Biafra soldiers were on the other side while the Nigerian troops were on this side. It was very funny, because every morning, we would wake up and talked to ourselves across the water. The Biafra soldiers would tell us, Gowon and Ojukwu are enjoying themselves in Aburi and we are busy fighting ourselves here, please give us some food, we would then throw cigarettes and sometimes beer to them across the water. “But after at about an hour, we would start shooting at ourselves. I went through all this and came out alive, I think at 70, I would say I am a fulfilled man.”

So Ojukwu (and extension the ibos) wanted a new country and beginning? But that "new country" have to include non-ibos' land or wth was he going about annexing other people's land into his "new country?

When issac boro wanted to seceed in 1966, Ironsi and Ojukwu were too glad to stop him but now that Ojukwu wanted to do the same thing and you all were expecting him to do otherwise. Double standards in the making!!!

Before you launch out attack, criticism or judgement on social media pls try to read the writing over and over again. The elder stateman only shared a very good experience we could relate to as youths in this era and you're insulting him.

kindly be respectful to your elders.

I never insult you ooh.
