These are avarde garde,bohemian people-not many in numbers and never shy to speak the truth to power. Jesus,Socrates, Jean Paul Satre-who rejected the Nobel Prize in 1964-, Fela Kuti,Franz Fanon and on and on.Their abrasive style of life,their signature mark them out ,because they cannot be contained by age-long dogmas or conventional reasoning.In short,these people would not be domesticated to humdrumery. They challenge, the jolt society and then leave the scene.

Biafran propaganda worked on these ones. Not on the whole world. When Igbo soldiers chose to kill the Nigerian Prime minister, Northern Premier Western Premier, they thought they would keep having their way. To crown more insult, an Igbo man became the head of state and refused to execute the murderers, Nzeogwu, Ifeajunna, etc.

Blood was shed and justice was not served. The other part of Nigeria were not fools, they took power back by force. That is when Igbos remembered Biafra, after destabilizing a newly independent nation. Knowing they could not win the war, they started propaganda showing their children with Kwarshiokor to plead for world sympathy.

Glad the British, Americans, Russians stood their ground. Biafra was a rogue nation that didnt need to stand. and in 1970, the nation of Biafra ceased to exist.

Insult me all you want, but you know this is the blunt truth. You dont kill a head of state without consequences. This doesn't exonerate the pogrom killings by the Northerners of Igbos then, that was the height of savagery and wickedness. The innocent Igbos didn't deserve that. Deep in my heart, I yearn for an Igbo to become president of Nigeria one day. But with your useless aspirants like Owelle Rochas, this aspiration may take awhile.
.

Do you have the faintest idea of the fact that Igbos had been killed enmass in the North long before Nigeria got independence--not to even talk of 1967?
Do you?

Don't be a FOOL! Let's not even talk about the super-powers of then; Egyptian pilots were flying attack sorties for the NAF! There was no way Nigeria could have prosecuted that 'war' without the external aide it got--no way!

Look at Boko haram today, it is a decade already and there are still local government areas in northern Borno that are a no-go-area for Nigerian troops.

Shut up if you are defective!

In war situation you don't need to appear in person, the support comes from weapons & ammunitions supplies.

France supported Biafra then in terms of weapons & Ammunition, while Russia supported Nigeria after British stylishly turned down Nigeria.

So, brother get it right! The so called Book Haram, ISIS, ISIL some powerful countrys are behind.

If Nigeria is manufacturing bomb, weapons of mass distruction, ammunitions & we want to sell, will Nigeria pray for peace?

Olodo, Jesus was afraid of the constituted authority. When he said " Give to Ceaser, what belongs to Ceaser " he did not fight the Romans but compiled with their laws. Please read your history books.

Unfortunately a very high percentage of them remain ignorant of the way things are happening in the world today.
The event of war looks macho in the TV...the reality on ground is better imagined! Only the informed know this
Re: John Lennon And Wife Protesting British Involvement In Biafra War (Throwback) by Nobody: 10:34am On Nov 08, 2019
This story may explain why I saw Paul McCartney in the company of one aproko (sorry I really don't know the meaning) Igbo highlife artiste, who didn't know better than impregnating beauty queens, in the library, I was reading some years ago in the US. I had probably played myself into their companies: I had hit on a beauty queen who went to the same school as me. Secondly, 269 was the ending of my previous email. I had chosen the number at random, only to realise that 1969 was a memorable year in many respects: concerning Nigeria's civil war, the moon landing and Diddy's year of birth to name a few. And some jobless code-breakers had thought my 269 was referring to 1969. Let me stop here.............................

@Patrioticman007, apoda ! Eni to ori ti dota!!! Jesus was also a revolutionary. He challenged the Jews-the Sahendrin- the ruling class of the day.The body was more or less administering Israel.They had executive powers ,excluding that of killing.
Didn't you read in your Bible where He stormed the temple and flogged the money changers out? Apoda, didn't you see the way He defied them over and over with His teachings,miracles and lifestyle? Olodo,He didn't need to take up arms against the Roman authorities, because that was not His mission on earth.His mission was to die for the propitiation of the collective sin of humanity. Or don't you read your Bible? Don't you know He had to bleed ,to die,to give His life as a ransom for many(cf Mark 10:45)
Before you went hysterical like a mad beast on my post, how many revolutionaries had you read? People like you who j'accuse people's posts just like to stir unnecessary storm in the calm of public discourse. Your tarzanist position will always make you look stupid!

Stop underemphasizing the murder of the head of state. You think if an Igbo assassinates Buhari today, Igbos in the North would not feel it?
