which place is Chechen? I keep hearing about them and their leader.

Chechnya is part of the Russian federation and the inhabitants, who are known as Chechens, are mostly Muslims. They are battle hardened and very dogged fighters.

But they never craved for war, they asked for a referendum or to you referendum means war?


Do you blame the BASTARD?

Blame the rulers that have doctored Nigerian history to suite their Narrative.

Lessons from the Ukraine-Russia conflict :

(1) The Biafrans defended themselves for 3 years
(2) At no time did Ojukwu plead with the Nigerian forces to sit down to negeotiate during the early or later years of the conflict .
(3) The resilience of the Igbo man is worthy of note .
(4) the Biafrans didn’t have anywhere to run to but to stay and fight to live or die in defence of their existence and their motherland .
(5) As the first bombs were dropped in Ukraine the people were all escaping to Poland and other neighboring countries .
Ukraine with the weapons and financial assistance it got from the US is already pleading for truce . Zelensky will soon be captured and taken to prison in Moscow . The javelin anti tank weapons recently delivered to Ukraine Army by the US have not destroyed a Russian tank.
The US just sent 650M dollars worth of defensive weapons to Ukraine.
No foreign aid be it financial or military were obtained by Biafra in the three years that the war lasted .
More lessons from the war coming .

Biafra was a landlocked country . They were attacked from land , sea and air by the Nigerian forces .
There was food and aid blockade by the Nigerian forces in order to inflict maximum damage on the psyche of the Biafrans and which added to the mounting casualties occasioned by the spread of malnourishment related diseases .
(6) No anti war protests were held in any part of Nigeria for the three years that the war lasted. It was clearly a genocide to wipe out the igbo people of Eastern Region . The hatred continues till today but covertly .

There are several inaccuracies in your post but this one in bold makes me wonder where you have got your findings from.

If any tribe has ever experienced war in their homeland. It is the igbos. So they know and ordinarily won't want war.What I think is the matter is the marginalization and hate. If after the war and loses, the Igbo man still opt for secession even if it ends in another war, then know that they know that it's worse to
stay with those who hate them. My prayer is that it doesn't get to that because the length and breadth of Nigeria will feel it and it wont end in 30months. Africa sef will feel it.

Though, I don't see why we need to go our various ways but I hate slavish existence. If you want them to be part of Nigeria,then treat them as one

BluntTheApostle:


With heavy casualties, and mercenaries from France.



Ojukwu had other plans. He did not want negotiation, rather Biafra.

His plan was sell the Biafran cause to the international communities, including using propaganda to demonize the Federal Government under Gowon.

Men like Achebe were used as emissaries during the early days of the war. Among the countries Achebe visited was Senegal, a country then governed by the famous poet Senghor.




Resilience? I bet you have not read anything about the war. How Igbo men hid on the roof to avoid conscriptions. How Ojukwu was cornered by the Federal troops in Biafran Government House, but escaped dressed as a servant.



Interesting. Read Chimamanda Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun or Cyprian Ekwensi's Survive the Peace.

I see you know nothing about the war. Just tribal sentiment.



Read books on the Civil War.

Get a copy of Obasanjo's book too.




Read about the Biafran airlift, the second largest non-civilian humanitarian service in the history of wars, second only to the Berlin airlift.



Biafran was landlocked, yet attacked from sea?

You better change your dealer.



And your point is?



It was a genocide, and yet when Biafra surrendered, Nigeria willingly accepted her back. Gowon even gave a speech to ensure that the Igbos did not feel like the losers.





You really NEED a PUBLIC DEBATE to ERADICATE ALL the nonsense you have been sold abt the BIAFRAN war

The power differential between Nigeria and Biafra is not same as between Russia and Ukraine.

You better don't request for another Suicide on yourself... If it happen, I will volunteers myself to join Nigeria army and murder you guys anyhow.

I will make sure that, we caused Damages in the East than the one that happened in 1967... That would be a payback for the prodigal people.
If Nigeria falls into another civil war, it'll be the end of Nigeria as you know it. Both sides will collect heavy damage. In case you've forgotten, the war started suddenly but the Igbos were still able to fight and hold for 3 years. They developed weapons that decimated battalions of the Nigerian troops, They built crude armoured tanks, they built bombs including remote-controlled ones during the war.
The only weapon the Nigerian side has was blockading food items from entering the Biafran territories. The Nigerian army had to engage in war crimes to ensure victory, and that's what cowards do.

Believe me, if there another war it'll never be like that civil war. Be guided

Bullshit,one sided history. Who carried out the first coup in the history of Nigeria? In which no igbo soldier died.

Who agreed to the one Nigeria clause in Nigerian constitution.

Who refuses to play the game of politics with other regions of Nigeria?

Which tribe doesn't have one single recognised king all over their region because they are too proud to listen to one another.

No one hates Igbo's ,Igbo's suffer from victim mentality.
dimwit,,,so the coup planned and executed by nzeogwu and other soldiers(some non-igbos included) is now an igbo coupe?
A coupe that many igbo soldiers were against(ojukwu) and many were not even aware of it prior to it's execution.

Tell me with fact the igbo man that singlehandedly enforced the one nigerian clause in the constitution

Tell us the igboman that refused to play politics with other ethnic groups, nzeogwu's coup has many non-igbos in it, aguiyi ironsi's government have many non igbo in it, even his right hand man was T.Y Danjuma(a northener)

igbos having no kings does not concern u in any way or manner !

Why don't you wait until it's Nigeria versus Biafra war or something ? The way you these attention seeking braggarts from across the Niger always love to make everything about yourselves is amazing ! The world's focus now is on Russia and Ukraine, so why all these needless noises about Biafra and Igbo ? Igbo held Nigeria for 3 years,you fought and defeated the whole world,your biafran army only surrendered because they were hungry.......blah,blah, blah ! We have heard you boy,okay ? ! But like I said earlier,it's all about Russia and Ukraine now. Therefore, don't bore us with your Biafra one sided story; we ain't interested ! We will be glad to discuss Nigeria versus your beloved Biafra when the time comes but now,you're a distraction !

Shut tha fork up and stop preaching crap to the Igbos. They have proven their bravery during the Biafran war [/b]and they certainly don’t have a problem standing for their cause. [b] Even as a Yoruba man , I respect that. Mistakes obviously were made in the past, chiefly by Aguyi Ironsi for this unitary bullcrap but that doesn’t stop people with sense to initiate processes to right the wrongs. Freedom comes at a price and if it’s blood it’s going to take, so be it. Even Christ cleansed us with blood.

Let people chart the course for their destinies and quit being a lilly liveried alarmist.

No Yoruba person will ever say the bolded...

below ( gotten from wi:ki ):

"According to a Nigerian Police Special Branch Report, nzeogwu executed at least 4 army and police security personnel including one of the men on his team (Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke). nzeogwu also participated in the execution of Col. Raph Shodeinde, his superior officer at the Nigerian Military Training College and is reported to have shot indiscriminately at fleeing women and children.."..

the statement above shows pure hatred for Yorubas and a lot of igbos all have this similar behavior towards Yorubas..

the aim of the Igbos like Azikiwe, Ironsi, Ojukwu e.t.c. was to control the revenue of other regions especially the western region ( Yoruba region ), that's one of the reasons why Ironsi abolished the regional system of government.

In summary, the bravery of the Igbos in killing Yoruba soldiers, Yoruba men and women and children is what you say you respect.. if truly you are Yoruba then you are a disgrace to the Yoruba nation..

If you don't know anything about what started the civil war then don't say what you don't know...

Igbos are not marginalized..

the way Nigeria is structured, ethnic nations that control a state can never ever be relegated, igbos control at least 5 states, the states means indigenous government officials ( Igbo officials ) will always receive funds.

If Igbos were marginalized then that means that since 1970 they have not received any allocation from the FG and they have never held any federal government political appointments..
