gidgiddy: Can you tell me what you mean by fighting for freedom? Who enslaved you? Your inferiority complex is so alarming. It's inborn. I will like you to explain what you mean by slavery. I will wait your explanation. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

gidgiddy: Lmao. Ibos were fighting so as not to become extinct group because they were endangered species. It was a survival war after your atrocities came back to hunt you while the Yoruba were just sipping their tea until you brought your accursed war to the SW and the Midwest because you had wanted to drag us into your accursed war but we treated your fvck up. It's the Ibos who were slaves, still are slaves and will ever be. Sink that into your skull. 2 Likes |

schoolboij: Whenever you enter a union, but cannot leave that union at will, you are a prisoner. If Igbos want to leave Nigeria, it is not for Nigeria to be fighting a war that Igbos must remain in Nigeria, it is for Nigeria to go to the negotiating table or conduct a referendum But in terms of the topic, Igbos were accused of conducting the first coup. The Northerners retaliated with their own coup 6 months later. But it did not stop there, over 50,000 easterners, men women and children were massacred all over Nigeria and millions fled home. Back in the East the angry Igbo asked the Military Governor of the East, Ojukwu, to declare the Eastern Region a separate country since the federal government was doing nothing to stop the killings. Ojukwu told them that secession was only last resort and that the Government of Gowon had to be given a chance. Gowon and Ojukwu met in Aburi. Ghana, where they deliberated and agreed to a 12 point agreement called the Aburi agreement. In return for keeping to the agreement, the Eastern Region would recognise the government of Gowon and stay in Nigeria Gowon returned to Nigeria and broke the agreement. Ojukwu was faced with only two choices, accept the will of the North or to fight for the freedom of his people from Nigeria Ojukwu fought for the freedom of his people from Northern controlled Nigeria. He may not have succeeded but the fact that even attempted is worthy of praise for freedom is an honourable thing to fight for 2 Likes |

zlantanfan: How could some people declare war on their perceived enemy and still be blaming the enemy for not giving them food? Is Nigerian government not God fearing enough to be supplying food to those who took up arms against them? 2 Likes 1 Share |

These were the two things that defeated Ojukwu. And, he reminds me, when you saw Ojukwu’s picture after the war, did he look like someone who wasn't well fed? But he had been taking the food which we sent to civilians, and so we stopped the food. 1 Like |

The average Yorubaman and ahistorism. Biafra did not declare war on Nigeria. It was Nigeria that declared war on Biafra. Biodun556: |
