Ojukwu's Speech In 1994 by Nobody: 11:08pm On Mar 24, 2019
Ojukwu's First Post War Speech In February 1994 At The Lagos Law School

''The war has come and gone but we remember with pride and hope, the three heady years of freedom. These were the three years when we had the opportunity to demonstrate what Nigeria would have been even before 1970. In the three years of war, necessity gave birth to invention. During those three years, we built bombs, we built rockets, we designed and built our own delivery system. We guided our rockets, we guided them far and guided them accurately. For three years, blockaded without the hope of imports, we maintained engines, machines and technical equipments. The state extracted and refined petrol with our own indigenous technology called the 'The Biafran pot '. Individuals refined petrol in their backyards gardens. We built and maintained airports and air strips. We maintained them under heavy bombardment. We spoke to the world through a telecommunication system engineered by local ingenuity. The world heard us and spoke back at us. We built armoured tanks and cars. We modified aircraft from trainers to fighters, from passenger aircraft to bombers. In three years of freedom, we became the most civilized, the most technologically advanced black people on earth''.

Now you wonder why I am deeply passionate about Biafra, the answer lies in the above speech. Biafra was able to achieve much in war time under the strictest condition what Nigeria has not been able to achieve in its long years of peace. To show their deep hatred for Biafrans, out of jealousy they destroyed all the feats achieved by Biafrans. The Biafran research documents were burnt, what a waste of ingenuity. Nigeria all along has what it needed to compete with the world but fear and jealousy blinded them and a people's ingenuity has been left to waste while the whole populace wallow in ignorance.

...with results and evidence to show for it.

In three years, Igbos produced technologies that Nigeria as a country never produced in its many years of existence, words on marble.

Afonjas are already here....wicked envious things who cannot manufacture simple rat poison for Awolowo; they had to import it from Aba. The ealier other tribes relaize that Afonjas are the cancer holding this country back, the better for you and your generation. Just read Ojukwu's speech yourself...
