Truthwords:oga the war took that long because the core southern states didn't join the war in time... states like delta, Edo, etc didn't join untill biafra armies invaded the mid west.. it is also documented that yorubas didn't want to join not untill biafra army were heldibg to lagos.. Or you possibly think if yorubas and the rest south had join don beginning, the war would have taken more than 1month ? |

Truthwords:what ever mate.. Just know that SW and ND didn't initially want to join the war not untill biafra army invaded these regions... particularly west... we joined the war fully when biafra army were heading to lagos.. If ojukwu had faced the north only, he would have won cause the northerners don't have the brain to properly the armies to win the war.. that was why Nigerian army had so many casualties.. You can even see how northerners had made present day Nigeria army to be a joke So bro the war was initially between north and east not untill biafra army invade other territories that made us and the other south to fully join the war.. 1 Like |

ezenwajosh: Saying Nigeria is a nation is a rude joke that has run its course! Nigeria is 'one nation', yet you have a group or section of the country saying if their 'birthright' the presidency is not returned to them that the country would be made ungovernable; you have so called 'fellow compatriots' saying a section of the country is not trusted to produce the president or that a section of the country are not trusted to head any of the military/paramilitary institutions in the country! Does this sound like a country that's a nation and united? 1 Like |

Kennyswagz1: Half of your problems would be solved the moment you realise you are not very smart. 1) Biafran forces matched towards Lagos because it was the capital then; it is a natural inclination in any war to try to subdue the capital city of the enemy country. In fact, it is the most important objective in most wars. When you neutralize the capital, you break the back of the enemy's war effort. And please, use your brain, the Mid-West lain on the road to Lagos [the federal capital], so, commonsensically, there was no way the Biafran forces would have gotten to the enemy capital without crossing through it. This is so basic. 2) Don't be simple-minded, every other ethnic group was involved in that war on the federalist-Nigerian side--Yoruba inclusive. Oh please! We have a problem having people like you litter the cyberspace with misinformation. How old are you! Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle [Black Scorpion] was the arrowhead of Nigeria's push. Every officer of the Nigerian Army got involved. So your assertion is at best nonsensical. 3) Biafra never really gainned legitimacy, so the support it got was basically humanitarian in nature--food and medicine. In that period, the countries that mattered were The Soviet Union and The United States, every other country was an also-ran. It was not a war featuring independent states perse, it was more like an internal rebellion. So Nigeria got all the substantive support. 4) And please, Boko haram has long morphed into a full-blown terror-group in the mould of ISIS. It does not have much to do any longer with anything you said about northern political expediency. I would have schooled you but there is no point. 5) I am grateful Nigeria didn't break into fragment. This country has the potential to be great, but silly, backward-oriented people like you will keep pulling it down and acting as clogs in the wheel of its progress. Listen, if Nigeria didn't get the active support it got from the superpowers [US, USSR, Britain etc.], Nigeria would be a different thing from what we have presently--probably there wouldn't be a Nigeria even. 6) I repeat, there were foreign-boots on ground. Even in this war against insurgency there were foreign-boots on ground. I have had the privilege to share correspondence with Eeben Barlow, the head of the 'foreign-boots' in the war against Boko haram. You don't know what you are talking of, please. P.S.: log off and go in search of knowledge. 2 Likes |

FemiMaduka:do you know that some yorubas also joined biafra army What I am saying is that yorubas and other southerners didn't join the war on time.. particularly yorubas.. we didn't join not untill biafra armies were heading to lagos.. though few of us might have joined Nigeria before so did we also joined the biafra army. but we joined Nigeria fully when biafra army were heading to lagos, same reason ND joined Nigeria when biafra army invaded their regions. It is on record. And please can you show me a video of foreign soldiers fighting biafra soldiers cause of all the biafra war videos I have etched, I haven't seen any.. |

FemiMaduka:oga what i am saying is that yorubas and other southerners (ND) joined the war fully when biafra armies invaded those regions.. the war was suppose to be btw the north and east initially because the north were the ones who carried out the pogrom not yorubas.. You are mentioning Black scorpion need I remind you that some yorubas also joined the biafra army like banjo and some supported biafra against Nigeria like soyinka..do you even know that one igbo man was supplying Nigeria weapon to kill his own people and your obj of onishta joined Nigeria.. I repeat if the core south had joinedNigeria on time, that war wouldn't have taken 1month to finish.. Northerners don't have brain to lead armies to win at war..that was why biafra armies killed alot of nigeria armies because it was made mainly of abokis If ojukwu had faced the north only and never thought of invading west and south, he would have won that war... |

adenigga: Are you okay? I guess the best of your knowledge is no knowledge at all. British was the brain behind the Nigeria during the war. British supplied the strategies and initial weapons of the war to Nigeria and blazed the diplomatic front for Nigeria. In other words, the war was between British and Biafra. |
Re: John Lennon And Wife Protesting British Involvement In Biafra War (Throwback) by FemiMaduka(m): 11:13am On Nov 09, 2019 |
Kennyswagz1:. Go back and read what I wrote. There is nothing like "Yoruba people didn't join on time". Except if there were no officers and men of Yoruba extraction in the army prior to 1967, that is the only chance your bunkum has at being true--of which there is no chance really. Adewale Ademoyega was part of the five majors, led by Kaduna Nzeogwu, that hatched the coup. Lt. Fola Oyewole and Lt. Col. Banjo both fought on the Biafran side. That is the much I have on record. Aside these three, the rest of the Yoruba contingent in the Nigerian Army [thousands of them] fought on the Nigerian side. Please stop peddling silly narratives. How can an army be fully pressed in a war and a certain part of it would decide to sit back? Does it make sense to you? The war was between The Nigerian federal government and the renegade Eastern region. EVERY other part of Nigeria took an active part in the war against Biafra. Stop writing nonsense. I already told you Lagos was targeted because it was the federal capital, the nucleus of the command and control--Gowon's lair! The areas that lain on the road to Lagos were also theatres in that regrettable conflict. Don't be slow! Lagos was the seat of power! Log off and get knowledge. P.S.: I have been replying you for the sake of those who will read your bunkum and use it to form warped, unfortunate opinions. However, I am sapped already exchanging with you. Your logic is ridiculously warped bro! I am out. |

Kennyswagz1: Granted Nigeria has numerous problems but undoing of the zoo is poor educational system. Biafra did only retaliate after its territories were invaded by the combined forces of northerners, yorubas and other southerners. Eastern region of Nigeria did not move into any part regarded as Nigerian territories until August 8, 1967. However before this date, the combined forces of northerners, yorubas and other southerners have attacked Eastern region capturing places such as Obollo Eke, Gakem and Ubani (Bonny) by July 26, 1967. It must be recalled the combined forces of northerners, yorubas and other southerners that attacked Ubani (Bonny) were trained in Midwestern region and initiated attack on Eastern region from their training depot. Most Nigerians are dumbass fools who cannot solve simple arithmetic to save their freaking lives. |

Neddstark: There is no reason under Sun to insult an individual with the stream of thought demonstrated in the above crap. To insult a person of low intellect is an exercise in futility. I am sure you do not have required intellect to realize there was nothing such as Igbo soldiers but Nigeria soldiers in 1966. Nigerian Prime minister, Northern Premier and Western Premier were belligerent and found joy in dehumanizing and impugning the character of ethnic groups in the country other than theirs. In 1961, Nigerian Prime minister indulged in a brazen corruptible practice of nepotism that destroyed the rank and file of the Nigerian armed forces which saw the likes of 2Lt Muhammadu Buhari, who had no WASC certificate, into Nigerian armed forces officers' cadre. There was no clause in 1963 Nigerian constitution or code of Military conduct that requires coup plotters to be executed. The punishment was jail term. However the couple plotters must face fact finding tribunal and court martial before prison term. Aguiyi constituted the fact finding tribunal which consisted Yakubu Gowan, Bala Usman and M D Yusuf. Instead of these jackasses getting the facts about the coup for court martial, they were busy planning a counter coup. The execution of coup plotters was introduced in Nigeria by idiotic Obasanjo and his Fulani masters when Murtala Mohammed was deleted from the earth in 1975. The irony is that when the ninny, Obasanjo, was implicated in a coup, he cried river. If Abacha had followed the template created in Nigeria by the jackass, Obasanjo would have been a carcass by now. 1 Like |

If British supported, it was when it's obvious that Nigeria might conquered. Lastly, please restrain from using abusive language, respect is reciprocal. Notwithstanding, I respect your opinion. |
