War is never good.

It's so sad so many people lost their lives unnecessarily in the civil war.

Seems Igbos don't know that war is never the answer to anything.

Patrioticman007:

Imagine 3 weeks trained recruit vs 6 months trained Nigeria Army recruit. The war was just like using insecticide to kill mosquitoes. No wonder many innocent souls died on the other side.

Yeah, and I don't want to sound like a tribalist but, Ojukwu no try at all.

I saw a video of him boasting to the world in a TV broadcast that Biafra will surprise Nigeria and the world. Yet he had no plans on how to feed the people or even prosecute the war he started.

Such a shame that millions died to satisfy the ambition and ego of one man.

Emekadollars:
I taught they said South-South ain't part of Biafra. How come they fought for Biafra. People are just confused in this country.


Anyway, there's something available for you in my signature.

Osagyefo98:



Continue reading about great men. Ojukwu is one of them.

Leave the topic and be chasing shadows.

[s]You Yoruba Muslims are so scornful and hate filled for Igbos , why Are Igbos the reason you Yoruba Muslims cannot sight the moon on your own without the help of Hausa-Fulani Emirs, what did the Igbos did wrong against you hateful lots eh


For your info, Ojukwu never declared war against Nigeria, don't you have sense, don't you rear foreign accounts and history books about that civil war


What led to the civil war of 1967 - 1969 is the 1966 northern pogrom in which Northerners (civilians and uniformed men) started killing civilian Igbos including Niger Delta people living in all Northern states because a military coup that does not concern civilians.


Gowon the then head of state who also came from the north refused to use his power as Head of State to stop the unwarranted killings of civilian Igbos in the north. Ojukwu being the Eastern Governor, who is like Prime Minister of Eastern Nigeria comprising Southeast + Southsouth wrote Gowon seeking he do something to stop the killings, Gowon refused to act and they continued on the killing sorry unabated.


Ojukwu then summoned an emergency meeting of all Eastern Nigeria stakeholders which included Igbo and Niger Delta artisans, traders, students etc at UNN Nsukka asking the way forward and they said they want to be on their own away from the people killing their people while bearing same name of one Nigeria.

Ojukwu then declared Biafra an independent nation of its own and Gowon declared war against Biafra, so how did Ojukwu declare ware against Nigeria you senseless beings[/s]

FrLukas:


I don't want to engage in a meaningless argument bro.

What is great about Ojukwu?

He brought ruin to his people.

The American dude, Bayrock or Mayrock or whatever his name was set himself ablaze in New York to protest on behalf of the Biafrans.

The owner of the ideology fled and abandoned his people when the federal soldier were closeby.

Tell me, was that an act of greatness?

He even had the time to airlift his favourite Mercedes Benz car with him while he fled.

He came back and contested for the presidency of a country he wanted to secede from.

What did his people gain from him apart from death, anguish and starvation?

Are you aware that he purposely starved his Biafra compatriots so that he could use the pictures of the starving kids and mothers as propaganda to gain worldwide support?

There's a lot people don't know about the Nigerian Civil war simply because this generation of Nigerians don't read.

Social media has destroyed our souls.

If it doesn't have pictures or videos, people won't check it out.

Sorry, Ojukwu was not a hero. A hero is one who protects his people and sacrifices his life for their sake. Not one who runs away and abandons them in the thick of the battle.

FrLukas:


I don't respond to gutter minds. Present your opinion without the insults and I'll read it.

Give thanks to Britain, Russia, Egypt and other friends of Nigeria.

If not Gowon will not know what hit him.

Osagyefo98:

I don't have time.

HallaDaTruth:
I am happy he said he is from bayelsa. All of you who claim that Niger Delta is not part of Biafra. I Hope You have eyes to read what he said.

if this was in real life, I would have beaten the hell out of you until you vomit blood, senseless boy, GTFO

FrLukas:


Lol.

Osogbo is a nice peaceful town. Your people also live in Osogbo and prosper there, as is their right as Nigerian citizens.

Don't denigrate any town in the Southwest. Because they also house your people from whatever part of Nigeria you come from.

Area4Area:
Have you ever been to Yenagoa before and asked the natives about the civil war, Igbos or Biafra, do you know if what he's writing is pro or anti-Igbo before jubilating?

HallaDaTruth:
I am not jubilating, neither am i putting him down in any way or form. My comment is just a message to those that think Biafra is just an only Igbo nation

inyenejo:
My uncle suffered for this war fighting for Biafra, in fact the whole of Akwa Ibom suffered most , my village alone in Uruan LGA, Akwa Ibom state lost everything, the shell company, the Chinese rice company, Nepa headquarters etc, uptil now, those companies have not returned again, and i asked , if the Nigerian govt have truly forgotten about everything why are those companies not returned.....Here in Akwa Ibom there's absolutely no Federal present in the state since i was born , no refinery, no petro-chemical plant, no railway, no good federal road, no seaport yet we feed this country, the war is over let's come together and build b4 the situation on ground give birth to another Nnamdi Kanu in Akwa Ibom state....Abasi adiong Akwa Ibom state ke nsinsi.

Officialgarri:
The heading is quite misleading ..

But the story is encouraging. From this story, the point is that we should know when to jump out.
I'm sure the money he has and still making from politics is way higher than all his wages from Elf petroleum.

I pray God shows us when to jump unto the faster and better train of life

Osagyefo98:



Face osogbo young man.

Wetin osogbo get or who Dem epp.

I am already working on a book about my Biafra experience. It was quite an experience. I was conscripted into Biafra army at age 16 and had three weeks training. Thereafter, we were to go to the war front and fight. But luckily enough for me, my aunt who I was staying with had a discussion with a colonel in the Biafra army who was a man from Nembe. The Colonel drafted me to S&T (Supply and Transport) and that was how I escaped going to the war front.
