France Supported Biafra And Britain Supported Nigeria by Anazp: 7:47am On Jun 05, 2020 |
So what's the issue? France supported the Biafrans during the civil war and yet the Biafrans lost woefully. Biafrans keep saying Nigeria won the war simply because the British supported Nigeria. What a joke. Cowards 1 Like |

Blackking98:They asked you to provide a CREDIBLE academic source and you're giving us Wikipedia that even my 12 year old brother can easily edit? Secondly, even if the list of those countries that supported Biafra is true which I doubt cause only 4 countries recognized Biafra (Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Zambia and Haiti), then those countries just gave Biafra *de facto* and unofficial diplomatic support/sympathies and nothing more. Biafra especially at the early stage of the conflict, only managed few mercenaries who were contracted for just few months... since Ojukwu lacked the funds to keep paying them, many of the mercenaries simply packed up and left. The only major foreign mercenaries that fought honorably with Biafra were Major Taffy Williams, Rolf Steiner and some Swedish pilot that helped us fly our minion transport relief carrier planes that were customized and fitted for war purposes. France gave Biafra only MINIMAL military support, that's what younger generations of Nigerians due to lack of substantial history been taught in our school curriculums fail to understand. The little support Biafra from France came rather belatedly, sometime around late 1968...the recapture of Owerri from Federal hands among other towns that were recaptured came around the time when we got some supplies from France... Yet throughout the war, Biafra never amassed 1/10th of the armada of limitless war machines and supplies the Nigerian side had. The backbone of the Biafran resistance was was homemade weapons notably Ogbunigwe, land mines, anri-personnel foot cutters, bombs, grenades we even made thick armor plated vehicles/tanks that played significant roles in the war. I can't think of anything, just ONE thing that Nigerian used their brains to actually manufacture during the war... 3 Likes |

Anazp: Frances support for Biafra was taken support. Britain supplied Nigeria with Warships to blockade Biafra, arms and ammunition and even British military advisors. Russia supplied Nigeria with Jet fighters The support of Biafra by the French was a drop in the Ocean compared the British support for Biafra 1 Like 1 Share |

Anazp:French support was largely moral one. France really wanted Biafra independent but some issues made them to extremely limit their arms supplies. It is a known fact that if Biafra got 1/3 of the arms Nigeria got from just a single world power, Nigeria wouldn't exist today. 1 Like |
