Many of you Igbos are excessively foolish. What school is history not taught in Nigeria ?

Addressing your claim Nigeria isn't teaching history which is clearly false do you think syllabus will be authorized to teach Biafra war killings or is your brain dead.

What school do you have in Igbo land that did not teach history or how did I know Nigeria got independence 1960. British conquest of the country tribe by tribe, coups, several constitution n system of government etc were all taught during Math class ?!

To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known cows that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs.

Since you've decided playing shadow, what details of Nigeria /Biafra war history is taught in school? Kindly show a preview of the syllabus according to your imaginary history.

IgboPikin:

In fact, the way you are hyping that bombing in Lagos is nonsense. Only 4 innocent civilians were killed in that bomb blast.

now i get where you are coming from. 4 is not enough life worthy of mention abi?

What kind of life are you living

We are talking about civilians. You don’t even understand what you’re talking about. Did every Igbo civilian support or partake in the war?

Yes they all did, its time to take responsibility and move on

Erosion2020:
There's no way we can liberate ourselves from Fulani rules while we don't see ourselves as one.
Let the fulanis continue untill everyone go quench.
You like fulanis more than ur closet brothers.

Yet u guys were seriously ass licking Atiku, are you not an hypocrite

MinorityOpinion:


Yet u guys were seriously ass licking Atiku, are you not an hypocrite

When you people refuses to see the handwriting on the wall before now, what do you expect from us?
Let everywhere scatter, those who survive should continue.

If Igbos again stand up to right the wrongs, it is u people (a willing tools) that will be use to diffuse the whole thing.

We support Atiku so the problem will continue.

Biafran war is Ibo history, not Nigerian history.

It's a part of NIGERIA history bro. Who committed the gruesome atrocities on Biafran civilians? It was Nigeria.

HenryWilliams:

The lieutenant was later executed. So?

But why should he kill an innocent Ibo civilian?

RETHINKING BIAFRA

THURSDAY, 25 OCTOBER 2012
BIAFRAN WAR CRIMES : HORROR IN THE MIDWEST : A PRESENTATION OF THE FINDINGS OF S.E OROBATOR

When you are crying because you were hurt in a fight, it is meaningful to see what your opponent also suffered.

When you insist that you alone suffered, you might need to be informed you are not alone in suffering.

When you use your belief that you alone suffer to try to compel people to behave as you want, those other people need to go out of their way to educate you.

Propaganda driven by some Igbos who have not recovered from the defeat of Biafra wants to compel Nigeria into a position of sole or central responsibility for the horrors of the Nigerian Civil War of 1967 -1970.

This effort at compulsion is accompanied by threats of violence, vengeance and prophecies of doom for Nigeria.

One of these efforts at forcing others to behave as these people want is the loud cry that did not commit any war crimes.

Biafra is thus depicted as a saintly enterprise and Nigeria as the absolute villain.

I have made it my business to investigate and bring these war crimes to light.

I am collecting both published documents and eyewitness accounts from various sources.

As I discover them, I will make them available to the public and address any questions and challenges that arise.

All findings will also be posted at the


All findings will be distributed through the following platforms:

1. Various African and Nigerian centred liserves
2. Rethinking Biafra blog, (http://rethinkingbiafra..co.uk/)
3. Rethinking Biafra Facebook page(https://www.facebook.com/RethinkingBiafra)

I have already distributed two reports on Biafran war crimes, one from the Oputa Panel of Inquiry and another from an academic paper on rapes in Midwestern Nigeria during the war, the Midwest being a zone invaded by Biafra.

I will respond to any critiques of these documents as soon as I am free.

I present here a moving account on Biafran atrocities in the Midwest, by historian S.E Orobator.
Orobator's essay is attached to this mail and posted at the Rethinking Biafra Scribd account and my Scribd account.
Orobator was in Benin, the capital of the Midwest, at the time of the Biafran invasion, and describes himself as keenly aware of developments during the period . He later conducted research on the invasion and went on to become a professor of history, specializing in international relations.
The essay is "The Biafran Crisis and the Midwest".

Published in African Affairs, Vol. 86, No. 344 (Jul., 1987), pp. 367-383.
Published by: Oxford University Press on behalf of The Royal African Society.
Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/722748 .

The entire essay on the Biafran misadventure in the Midwest is moving in its analysis of what the Biafrans lost through the invasion in terms of goodwill as well as in creating a situation that united the Midwest with the Federal forces against Biafra in the subsequent events that marked the turning point of the war.

I will present Orobator's summation of the cost of the invasion to Biafra in another mail .

I post below an extract from the essay.

The most relevant sections on Biafran war crimes are highlighted:


"The relationship between the two sides deteriorated progressively and the Biafran efforts to secure the people's support failed.

The battle front reports were equally unfavourable to the Biafrans who then resorted to extensive witch-hunting against suspected saboteurs.

The Biafran forces, who were relatively calm during the first one month of the occupationperiod, became progressively edgy, tightening the various governmental gadgets of societal control.

As the Biafran hostility developed to crisis proportions, the dusk to dawn curfew was further enforced, the Vigilance and Security Councils given additional powers, and the Biafran Army and Militia became more ruthless in their dealings with the civilians.

The civilian collaborators doubled their spying activities to callous dimensions. [45]

The situation drifted for the worse.

Taking the MidWestern refusal to support the secessionist movement as a demonstration of an anti-Ibo and pro-Hausa stance, the Biafrans intensified their search for suspected saboteurs as every set-back on the battle front was invariably blamed on sabotage.

Heavier reprisals followed.

At Abudu, over 300 bodies, including those of children, were found in the Ossiomo river as the Biafrans withdrew. [46]

Similarly, on 20 September 1967, 'there was a mass killing of non-Ibo MidWesterners at Boji-Boji Agbor', and on 23 September, 'non-Ibo speaking MidWesterners were apprehended by rebel soldiers at Asaba, Ibusa and Agbor and taken [in two lorries] to a rubber plantation along Uromi-Agbor road and massacred'.[47]

The more minor cases of rape, extortion, seizure of properties, and other punishments featured abundantly.

For instance, a Warri-based lawyer, E. K. Iseru, testified at the Tribunal that he was stripped naked and detained for three days without food for agitating for the Rivers State, and, when he complained of hunger, he was promptly told: 'there is no food for Hausa friends'. [48]

I love your manner of approach. But one thing to understand here is that your circas given here totally makes the whole claim counterintuitive.
Lemme quote some statements from your reply.

✓ "...Similarly, on 20 September 1967, 'there was a mass killing of non-Ibo MidWesterners at Boji-Boji Agbor and on 23 September, 'non-Ibo speaking MidWesterners were apprehended by rebel soldiers at Asaba, Ibusa and Agbor and taken [in two lorries] to a rubber plantation along Uromi-Agbor road and massacred'.[47]..."

I'm very sure the person who wrote this wasn't a foreign observer but a Mid Western bigot. The invasion of the Mid West led by Banjo[a Yoruba] started on the 9th August 1967 to 20th September 1967. If the Federal troops arrived Benin on the 20th September to liberate the Mid Westerners from the hands of Ojukwu men, then the possibility of Biafran forces to massacre those civilians on that day will be Zero!
Moreover, all Biafran soldiers were either murdered or chased away into the Eastern region by the Nigeria troops led by the 2nd Division under Lt Col. Murtala Mohammed. This happened on the 20th September. The Niger bridge was also bombed by the Retreating Biafran soldiers so as to slow down the advancement of the Nigeria army. All happened on 20th September. So tell me, How did Biafrans kill civilians on the 23rd September? You mean they stupidly passed through the Nsukka border entered current Kogi state and landed in the Mid west region to perform the alleged MASSACRE on 23rd?

As the Biafran Army withdrew from the Midwest every non Igbo along the withdrawal route from Benin to Agbor was shot dead .

When the Biafrans entered Agbor they killed all the non Igbos they could find .

By the time the Federal forces arrived the roadside all the way from Benin to Agbor was full of dead bodies of non Igbos . It was with bitterness that General Muritala Mohammed and his forces entered Asaba.

None of the bloodshed was right.


https://www.edo-nation.net/midwest.htm

The Biafran Army had more than 1 division. There was even one at Calabar and another at Port Harcourt.at around the same time all of them slaughtered non Igbos indiscriminately.
Gen Yakubu Gowon for the sake of reconciliation did not allow the atrocities to be published in fact the report of the Rebel Atrocities Tribunal for the Midwest filled 10 Cartons ,
Gen Ogbemudia , Governor of Bendel State said if the report had been published the non Igbos of the Midwest would not be willing to forgive or live with the Igbos again.
Biafrans were known to even go as far as beheading Captives and butchering the remains.

Biafra failed to release any Federal Soldiers taken as Prisoners of War when the War ended , Biafra had Slaughtered their Prisoners of War !!

Does the Geneva Convention allow POWs to be Slaughtered?

Mraphel:
