Apart from getting weapons and mercenary support from the French, Ojukwu allowed his people starve in order to further spread propaganda for international support.

He employed a PR firm to propagate the message and then refused food from the international red cross that was sent to feed the starving Igbos. This is written in the resignation letter by Robert Goldstein sent to Ojukwu in 1969.

Using victimhood as a propaganda tool.

If u offer a way out of the problem, this will be rejected, because there is a different sinister goal. In the words of Nnamdi KANU: 'if I am given biafra peacefully I will not accept it, we must fight'.

Ekpa and kanu are using the same tactics by killing same people they are fighting for to prove to Buhari and Tinubu they are in control and even ruining Nigeria economy. However, since contribution of alaigbo to federal purse is negligible, it has no effect. Nigeria still remains most economy viable nations in Africa consecutively since 2018. This kind of act does not translate to wisdom, suffering or killing your own people you are fighting for to prove a point. Horrible!

Did you bother to read what you posted? Even the letter did not say that Ojukwu rejected the food, what Ojukwu rejected was the method of bringing in the food

He wanted the food flown in rather than a land corridor. Ojukwu knew that if he allowed a land corridor, the Nigerian Army could quickly use it to get into Biafra

So stop saying Ojukwu rejected food meant for his people, he only rejected the mode of transporting it into Biafra

Proof of an early civilization is ur comeback. Heritage that we are proud of and make movies about.

When yoruba ancestors were living in this society, u were eating each other in the bush.

Hope u know your forefather is a cannibal. Even the bible does not record such abnormality before cursing a people. The curse that is following una cant be erased in the next 100 years.

Disgusting.

Early civilization you say??

Were you more civilized than the ancient Greek? Chinese, Italy?? Etc...tour this cities and see what early civilization means.

What you have in your region is widespread stagnation...even the old city of onitsha is far older than Ibadan, go do a simple research and stop deceiving yourself.

Olodo, you must think the International Committe of the Red Cross (ICRC) are learners when it comes to war and delivery of relief.

Ojukwu used Starvation as a propaganda tool even when ICRC came up with other provisions to bring relief in from Cameroon. You guys love cunny cunny wisdom and it will never allow u make right decisions in this life.

No doubt Ojukwu used tye starvation for propaganda, but he was not the one who caused starvation

Those who blockaded Biafra by air, land and sea caused the starvation

Now, it is a war crime to use starvation as an instrument of war

Ojukwu caused starvation,
used starvation as a propaganda tool &
rejected food from the international community who was ready to provide it.


This is what he caused and alllowed. Im not surprised people with ur kind of heritage did that though.
