yoruba muslims are still look for fake propaganda to justify the evil they comitted as fulani slaves in Biafraland during the war. They are no quoting propaganda sources not even political and war journals but "dem say-dem say" glorified blogs. That fulani shiit wey dey sweet una pass amala, una go chop am tire very soon.

Christistruth00: What a stream of thought from a deluded punk. If Biafran soldiers did not have enough vehicles to flee from the battle front yet have time to search and commandeer vehicles, it means the pursuing Nigerian army did not have vehicles to chase. Nigerian had enough vehicles to race from Lagos to Asaba within 24hrs bearing the stubborn resistance from the Biafran units. Do you realize war is kill or be killed? Please I suggest you continue to masturbate on your 1959 doctored picture of Nigerian army officers. |

Nigerians are not ready for liberation, Nigerians don't need pity. Nigeria your common enemy are the fulanis, They fulanis only see Igbo as a treat, remove igbos in Nigeria you are completely gone, The only hope of Christianity in Nigeria are igbos, remove igbos Christianity is gone in Nigeria, they fulanis are afraid of the igbos, but soon the igbo will leave, The Igbos and their recent agitations have destroyed the Fulani agenda over the south, have you wonder why the fulanis are constantly saying Igbo man can't rule Nigeria?? they know, They fear is real, Other tribes in Nigeria should be happy to have Igbo in Nigeria, you can't stay in Nigeria without the igbos, No Fulani man is ready to buy nor develop your place, No Fulani man can rent your house nor your shops, Without the igbos somany landlords will die of hunger, Hate the igbos, propagate against the igbos, Fight the igbos, Loot their business, gang up against the igbos, Sale your birthright to wicked the igbos, Join the fulanis to fight the igbos, Guess what?? Igbos are the children of the most high. you can't finish the igbos rather you destroy yourself. 1 Like 1 Share |

mu2sa2: Ojukwu's Biafran Soldiers not only Massacred Civilians they went further and Butchered their Corpses for Meat Eastern Non Igbos were Victims of Ethnic Cleansing by the Biafran Soldier[/b]s Read the article below https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.afraf.a097919 http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/articles-opinions/the-unknown-victims-ethnic-minorities-1967-1970/ https://m.facebook.com/naijainfoman/posts/1139807712715827 [b]Enough Of This Biafran Nonsense!!! By alabo abiye Akkio-abbey As a Rivers man who saw the events of 1967-1970 and who was old enough to understand them, this protest in Port Harcourt is a slap on true Rivers indigenes. and the memory of ALL the Rivers men and women who were slaughtered in the pogroms and ethnic cleansing committed during the civil war by the Biafran Army. Let us remind ourselves of the TRUE facts and REAL reasons behind the secession and subsequent civil war. Ojukwu and his cohorts decided to secede from Nigeria because Gowon broke up the regions and created Rivers State among the 12 states he created. Remember the Aburi accord? Article 4 of that accord had to do with the breaking up of the regions. On the 27th of May, 1967, Gowon broke up the Regions, from the then Eastern Region and carved out Rivers, South-Eastern and East-Central states. 3 days later on 30th May, 1967 Ojukwu seceded citing the Aburi accord. ON ABURI WE STAND!! The rallying war cry of the day. How anyone who calls himself/herself a Rivers indigene support tacitly or otherwise the so-called Biafra cause when Biafra seceeded just because Rivers State was created and the Rivers people for once had a right to self rule? In the quest for a sovereign country did the Igbo majority seek, discuss with or solicit the support of the minorities in the Oil Rivers and South-East?? Where is Biafra? How do you seek for a country which was susequently named Biafra WITHOUT involving the indigenous people of Biafra? Isn't that supreme arrogance or maybe they were not included because they were meant to be wiped out later. Events proved the latter to be true. Late Chief (Dr.) Nabo Graham-Douglas who was the Attorney General of the Eastern Region was sent on compulsory leave and exiled to his home town Abonnema with orders for him to be executed. Fortunately the plans leaked and he miraculously escaped. He didn't draw the Articles of secession and only heard about Biafra from the BBC journalists who came to interview him in Abonnema. He was one of the lucky ones. The ethnic cleansing began in earnest. Our intelligentsia; top civil servants, technocrats and other able bodied men and women were rounded up and summarily executed in Enugu, Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Degema, Buguma, Bakana, to mention but a few towns/cities. In Port Harcourt, Rainbow town and Igritta, became killing fields. the bones of those victims still lie there These atrocities were committed by the Biafran Army, against people who were supposed to be fighting the same cause with them. In a bid to wipe out the minority tribes, our towns and villages were evacuated, our men put to slave labour and later on shot (reminiscent of Nazi Germany), our women taken as sex slaves, young boys shared the same fate as the men. Bakana, Bille, Abonnema were all forcefully evacuated. Finally, when the Nigerian Army counter attacked and liberated Port Harcourt, the retreating Biafran Army, burnt Kingsway (now Supabod building), Nabo Graham-Douglas's law library (which was the best Law library in the whole of West Africa) and other land marks in the Garden city. Of what military significance were these acts?? I don't blame the misguided ill-informed people for trampling on the graves of those who were murdered by the Biafran Army, by protesting in Port Harcourt. I blame Gowon for forbidding accounts of the war being published after the war, but more importantly for not trying war criminals (like Col Ojeh of Degema) within the Biafran Army and holding them accountable for their inhuman and murderous actions during the war. 70 years after World War 2, we are still reminded on a daily basis the atrocities that the Nazi's committed. If Gowon had done what he was morally and duty bound to do, this matter of Biafra would have been put to rest once and for all. By the way, in May 1968, my uncle (my mother's younger brother) was shot in his Warri street residence in Port Harcourt, his corpse butchered, his flesh sold as Biafra meat in Mile 1 market. That same day the Nigerian Army opened up and started shelling Port Harcourt, which was ultimately liberated Are those protesting and the other supporters of "Biafra" aware of these facts?? The war has been over these past 45 years, we are forging on as a country, setting aside our ethnocentric issues. That Ex-Biafrans have been assimilated into all spheres of our society (as they should), without any punishment meted out to the war criminals among them, doesn't give anyone the right to re-write history or bring these painful memories back.

christistruth01: Who led the western offensive or rather the Biafran Liberation army? An Ibo man Hausa man or Yoruba man? Please stop lying it is not fair.. Benin felt igbos will not survive the war.. They were the ones who lined up able bodied men in cable point Asaba and shot all of them under the command of Murtala Muhammed.. They were also the ones who first Entered onitsha and looted it before Achuzia rounded them up and sent most of them to Judgement.. So u may understand why the phobia.. Due to lies the parents tried to cover up.. You see why I laugh when Benin push for Midwestern state again or Niger delta Republic.. Where they would be left with the Midwestern Ibos.. I would wonder what such a country will look like.. Mind you during the provocations that led to the war all soilders returned to their rreigons or states so I know what I am saying or maybe I witnessed the war.. The Mid western Igbos led offensive to liberate lagos.. Led by Victor Banjo a Yoruba Man that was to take charge of Lagos.. Ejoor was to. Remain in charge of Benin But he ran away and an AGbor Man u said igbos killed was made the governor of Benin which locals didn't like and started attacking Biafran soilders.. Biafran soilders had no business with Benin as their target was Lagos.. To liberate lagos.. Yes if Biafran soilders are being attacked they have the right to defend themselves.. Same way ugm are attacking Nigerian soilders.. Nigerian soilders also have the right to defend them selves. The liberation army failed due to Logistics reason.. |

christistruth01: Moreover you are speaking like the western offensive was the first act of the war when it was accutually the eastern capital that was being attacked.. Have you heard about Garkem.. That was where the first shelling started.. And the northerners were getting dead and wounded being shipped back to the North.. So for you to lie bare faces that the northerners were killed in Asaba by Biafran soilders was asaba civiallians Biafran soilders..? The Nigerian army destroyed and shelled right from Umunede to asaba and murdered asaba indegenes in cold blood.. And you are justifying them.. With what happened in Asaba Biafrans realised it was a war of survival and they survived because the Fg plan was to totally wipe out Igbo race.. That is why some are still denying their heritage despite speaking the language.... Let what the Igbo tribe have endured never befall your tribe so be wise and factual.. |
