The Abagana Ambush Which Is Regarded As The Greatest And Most Successful Ambush by Amarachi2018: 4:03pm On Mar 31, 2022 |
The Abagana ambush which is regarded as the greatest and most successful ambush in Africa took place on the 31 st March 1968 during the Nigerian-Biafran civil war. A whooping 5,000 Nigerian soldiers walked into an ambush of 700 Biafran soldiers strategically hiding and surrounding the unsuspecting Nigerian army. The Nigerian army drove right into their ambush. The Biafran guerilla commander led by Major Uchendu encouraged his men when they saw the Nigerian troop arriving the South East in their number. They used the ogbunigwe explosiv. They targeted the fuel tankers carried by the Nigerian army which rocked multiple explosions. They fired shots into the troop killing almost the whole 5,000 Nigerian troop.Major Uchendu was commended for his bravery for not retreating when he saw the massive Nigerian army but stayed well prepared and ambushed the Nigerian army from the bushes. They couldn't even tell where exactly the attack was coming from. Ndigbo have always been a brave people.

This is the greatest ambush attack in the world, even Ukraine with all the world support they are getting are not able to replicate this feat against Russia, and here we have a small Biafran troup led by a Biafran Major , decimating and destroying the whole of the second Division of the Nigerian Military and sending a General Murtala Mohammed to a forced self Exile to Europe, the only other history that has this record is in the Bible where a relatively Unknown David slew a General Goliath of the Philistines and caused a battle against them to be overturned. My 100% respect to Ojukwu Commander of the Biafran Forces and Major Uchendu who led the attack and destroyed the 2nd Division of the Nigerian Military. My thumbs down to the most useless fellows on the face of the earth who are killing the Generation that fought the Nigerian Military backed by Soviet Union , Britain , Egypt , Sudan , Niger, Chad , cameroon to a stalemate forcing the disgraced military with their demonic cheerleaders to resort to starvation. |

Inasmuch as I appreciate the importance of history in national development, I do not encourage the spread of history which puts African tribes against each other when we are planning to unite Africa for development purposes. While other countries are sending rovers to Mars, we are still busy remembering a civil war that claimed 3million African lives. Common Africans let's abandon the past and pace way for the bright future of the United States of Africa. God bless. (N.B IPOB terrorists who have been paid by the West to divide Nigeria in order to cancel a United States of Africa should not quote me. Sorry I interrupted the thread where they would have come to say how Nigeria was defenseless in the war and their only saving grace was Britain and the Soviet Union) |
