Afonja muslimumu,if you don't know history why not shut up instead of engaging in your holy taqqiya lies.
Unarmed Igbo civilians were being killed all over the North for months and useless Gowon refused to do anything about it yet to You,it is about ego.
Back to d topic.
God bless the Irish missionaries for bringing schools and hospitals.Most of d occupant of d zoo don't understand d love Igbos have for d catholic church.
They brought education, modern healthcare etc while Dan fodio and Islam brought unending war,bombing,illiteracy, irresponsible childbirth and every bad thing

We must all sit down and talk about this stuff, so many years down the line, it's still the same stuff, until we find a lasting solution and appease the Easterners, a great deal, we still going to be on this same issue year in, year out...
Yes, it was actually a war between both sides, but Easterners lost so many people....
The Easterners were fighting for a cause collectively, which was to have a greener pasture, for the duration of the war, No infighting between the Igbo's, its just terrible the state the nation Nigeria is Right now....
just too bad........

ENTERNAL REST GRANT HIM OH! JAH. FADA BIAFRANS NEED PRAYERS PRAY FOR BIAFRANS FROM HEAVEN. RIP FADA.

Rip father.your name will forever remain indelible in our hearts,go into the great beyond with joy in your heart.God bless you.

u want to tell me bull n crap story, let me school u a little. it was after the greedy igbos killed all top ranking officers of all tribes without killing any igbo top ranking officer that the problem started n to add insult upon injury they were mocking d north with the picture of nzeogwu on sarduanas corpse. that sparked d killing. igbos played with fire n they got burnt. so don't make it seems that the hausas just woke up someday n started killing the igbos. to every action there is an equal n opposite reaction, don't throw stones at others if u don't want them to bomb u

r.i.p. fr. Biafra shall recognise u and others who sacrificed for her in due time.

500000 people starved to death, while another 500000 were eating by the surviving hungry biafrans

Moral of the story

Before shamelessly starting a fight with people feeding you, make sure you are self sufficient.

God hates proud people and chestbeating trouble cuaser, and he always destroys the agressive and humiliate them, while the humble are always triumphant.

lol....mumu...biafrans starved because there was no farming activity going on in igboland due to war....fo.ol...u were feeding them before 1914 amalgamation....

Your words betray you as someone who has not grown. I'm sure you still live with your parents. You insult people because they express their views on a public forum? That's the height of childishness.

Godhead4:
Fr Gerry Gogan, who has died in his 92nd year, was one of the dwindling band of Irish missionaries expelled from Nigeria after the civil war of 1967-1970. A member of the Spiritan order (historically called the Holy Ghost Fathers in English-speaking countries), he served for 17 years in that country

A great man. A Saint. May his soul rest in paradise

ceejee:
whatever happens in d future, history will always remind us on that day that free men fought again operation and slavery, few stood against many. every biafran family lost a person at least. their sacrifices will never go in vein. yes we lost the war but the struggle is still on going. someday we shall sing a victory song and raise a flag of freedom. the sun will surely rise in d east, The land of my birth. May the Lord keeps me alive and healthy to witness that great.

Iseeeee!

Irishtimes is now IPOB owned media, not Ireland. You're a fucking idiot

don't waste your time on tiger clawed face people. Tell the world that Igbos don't seek attention,we ARE attention ourselves. GOD made it so

Not only that.
We couldn't import food because Nigerians shot any airplane headed towards Biafra and couldn't allow us use the sea ports as well.
It's not like they were feeding us and that we couldn't feed ourselves.
More like they were sabotaging efforts by us to get food into Biafra.

There are some Igbo communities who didn't experience the war and hence farmed. Normally, these communities brought their farm produce to Biafran markets for others to buy. Nigerian government specifically didn't want this circulation of food to stand, as they were eager to make sure their starvation policy succeeded, so they targeted and bombed such Biafran markets full of mainly women and children.

The Igbo has a lot of reasons to be grateful to the Catholic Church.
They helped us alot during the war.

Any Nigerian thinking that a time will come when the Igbo nation will ever forget and move on from Biafra is joking. Igbo is Biafra and Biafra is Igbo. Every Igbo man untainted by greed and selfish interests, will usually be sympathetic to Biafra.

The prayers of every honest Igbo man is that the effort of these priests and those of our people who died trying to create a functional nation for us , never be in vain. May we the living Igbos not only remember their efforts, but work assiduously to ensure we establish and gift to our unborn generations, a functional new nation, our fore bearers strived to gift to us without success.

God bless the Igbo nation and all lovers of freedom.

Here is how Father Joe, one of the Irish Rev. Fathers who worked in Igbo land for a long time and stayed in Biafra throughout the Biafra-Nigeria War, described the Ibo (Igbo) to a team of reporters from Life Magazine in 1968: “Life (Magazine) has been dispatching teams to Biafra since June 1968, and now September, the beginning of the hot season, was on hand, we noticed a profound change.

Wherever we went, people tugged at our sleeves and held out their hands, hoping for a coin, a cigarette, or a kola nut. This begging was altogether new.” “The Iboman never begs.” Father Joe said. “He's much too proud, he wants to pay for what he gets. The Ibos are wizards at saving money. When one of them gets a job, he starts saving right away; first for a bicycle, then a transistor radio, and next a bit of land. Then he builds a house on it, gets a wife and before the first child is born, he is already putting money by for the kid's school fees. The Ibos are mad for education.” He continued, “Ach, you should have known the Ibo before the war, shrewd, clannish, competitive – exasperating and proud. Some called them the Jews of Africa and others said they were as bad as the Irish, and I'd consider it a compliment either way. You know that we Holy Ghost Fathers all ran schools here before the war? The way we played on the Iboman's competitive instinct was absolutely shameless.” “What kind of parish is this? I would say to the elders.

The school of the other village has an upstairs – Ibo talk for a second story – so they'd build me an upstairs and then I'd say, how can I be the Father here? There is a village not five miles from here that has a primary school and a secondary school as well. Do you expect me to spend the rest of my life rotting in a village that has no secondary school? So, up would go the new school and then I'd really put the screws to them: There is a settlement down Owerri-way that sent one of their boys to a university in Europe. Wouldn't it be a grand thing to have a university graduate of our own? And by God, somehow the village would scrimp and save until they had one: All that seems a long time ago now.” The determination and resourcefulness that once characterized the Ibo also preoccupied Father Joe.


We were driving out for a last look at Emekuku Hospital when Father Joe remarked: “There was a time when it was impossible to have a car breakdown in Iboland. You'd find yourself stuck somewhere way out in the bush and first thing you know, three loafers – two of whom had probably never peeked under the bonnet of an auto in their lives – would saunter up to see what was the matter. In no time at all using rags and string they'd have you on your way again.” Father Joe shook our hands before we boarded the flight out through the flak and said, “Remember now: however this thing is settled militarily, somehow, somewhere, something called Biafra will continue to exist.”(Breadless Biafra). This is the Igbo the world used to know and which has been destroyed by Nigeria.

Ok

We will never forget

You Igbos need to step up the Civil war remembrance efforts and teach the history to your children in schools with excursions to monuments regularly to keep the memory alive as the Jews have done with the holocaust.
To be done quietly, steadily constantly creating new ways to establish the memories without wavering.
That is way better than making unnecessary noise about Lagos being a no man's land.

Note that I used civil war and not Biafra war.
Big difference in terms of opposition by the usual suspects and their capability to recruit other antagonists into their ranks.
Best of luck.

I am still trying to understand why the Nigerian govt along with supports from at least three strong countries in war could only defeat a small nation by implementing an anti war tactics. I mean using hunger as a tactics was a low life. There are some things u don't do during war.

Any ways, it is a gone game. I am still trying to understand how the Biafrans did it shaaa..


We are still hoping to get 1600 respondents for my friend's PhD survey questionaire. Pls, you can be of help.


Pls guys, a friend of mine is doing her PhD in the university of Florida.

Pls, to help her with your views about birth control, kindly check my profile and see the link on my signature. Just click the link and the survey page will open. It is done online and easy. Thank u so much. Don't forget to share with your friends too.

Everything is fair in war......you want me to feed you so you can have the strength to fight me more, why?
America commits tons of war crimes all over the world in wars they are fighting but to them it all seems fair.... Israel has blockaded Gaza for more than 7years now but Israel is far safer for that move and it seems fair to blockade a nation from air land and sea.......so in war. All is fair
