Biafranboys:
The biafran nation can not be allowed to be for we do not trust what they will become with their vast wealth around the Russians and the French

Read those above and I thank the guy that posted it here gwafaeziokwu, we as biafrans must start a diplomatic pressure on the British and plead with them to let biafra go, igbo states with oil and gold and other mineral resources must strike a deal with the British and the Niger delta people can strike a deal too

The world is now about give me I help you, we can bargain with Britain

Britain will not bargain with us. They know we can't be cheated and they love to cheat nations.

How Britain’s Labour government facilitated the massacre of Biafrans in Nigeria – to protect its oil interests


The then Labour government secretly provided large quantities of arms to the Nigerian federal government which, by early 1970, had crushed an attempt by the country’s eastern region of Biafra to gain independence, which it had declared in May 1967.

During the three years of war, up to three million people died, as Nigeria enforced a blockade on Biafra, causing widespread starvation amid considerable international opposition to the conflict.

British policy was mainly shaped by its oil interests, declassified government documents from the time show. “Our direct interests are trade and investment, including an important stake by Shell/BP in the eastern region,” the Foreign Office noted a few days before the outbreak of the war in 1967.

Investments by Shell/BP—then a joint company in Nigeria which was partly owned by the British government—amounted to around £200-million at the time. The company was the largest producer of oil in Nigeria, most of which was in Biafra.

Shell “have much to lose if the FMG [federal military government] do not achieve the expected victory,” George Thomas, Labour’s commonwealth minister, noted in August 1967. He added: “The sole immediate British interest in Nigeria is that the Nigerian economy should be brought back to a condition in which our substantial trade and investment in the country can be further developed, and particularly so we can regain access to important oil installations.”



UK supplies of arms — which eventually enabled the Nigerian government to win the war — included millions of rounds of ammunition, hundreds of machine guns and grenades, thousands of mortar and artillery bombs, aircraft and armoured personnel carriers.

These supplies were massively stepped up while Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson was telling parliament that Britain was supplying arms to Nigeria at the same level as before. He made the false claim that there was “no special provision” for the war.

The decisions to supply arms and ammunition were taken at a time when it was clear they were being used against civilians. Wilson’s agreement to supply patrol boats in 1967 was done in the knowledge that this would help the government maintain the sea blockade against Biafra.

Unfortunately I am not responsible for your cognitive bias which misled you to assume anyone was lumping military & dipliomatic support together. From my captions it would be clear to a 10 year old that I was referring to French & Belgian military support through mercenaries, weapons, planes etc. but of course that would be rocket science to a typical semi-literate, brainwashed, cownu zombie without mental capacity for critical analysis. Indeed France supported Biafra heavily militarily & otherwise.



Lies. Pure lies.

Swedish & Portugese Pilots were still flying for Biafra up till January 1970. Mercenaries like the German born Rolf Steiner who was a Lt. Colonel and assigned to the 4th Commando Brigade, and Welshman Taffy Williams who served as a Major until the very end of the conflict



Going to war ill-prepared & depending on your local ogbunigwes was the height of foolishness, so it's no wonder Biafra stood no chance especially against the well orchstrated blockades. If you were half as smart as you fancy yourself to be, you'd have noticed this is a rejoinder thread so the Wiki screenshots were pulled from the other thread. You should't be so dim that you have to be spoonfed logic all the time.

Opting to stay away from barbarians who performed surgery on pregnant women, slaughtering over 30,000 Igbo civilians is the height of smartness. It is called self preservation.

Opting to leave savages who are stuck in the 15th century is what a sane human would have done. Today many people including your beloved middle belt wished they had stayed away from you barbarians 50 years ago when they got the chance.

Aboki, you don't prepare for a war of self preservation. You don't fix a date where you will stop your enemies who are already upon you right in their track. No, you move like a man and take your chances.

The fools should be idiots like you who expected , a pat in the back after the senseless carnage in the north.

Who else noticed the UNIQUE thing ISRAEL did?

In summary, hunger was the reason biafra lost the war otherwise there would have been a country today named BIAFRA

Anyone tha believes the lies posted here without reading the versions from United states, Russia , Britain and other independent sources will have him or her self to blame.

This people have turned the truth on its head. Ordinary boko haram they are not able to defeat without external help. Is it biafra that they could have defeated if china and France backed biafra
