Watch how they would invade this thread Talking thrash Meanwhile every S-southener know the Atrocities they committed during the war Even till date they view an Average Akwa-cross person as inferior Should Akwa-Cross be stupid to join their Biafra it would be worse than Nigeria Their self acclaimed runaway prime minister released a map lumping Akwacross inside Without any consultation And he thinks it would work Perhaps he still thinks we're in the 1990s 4 Likes |

Those who agitate for self determination should follow the parameters stipulated for it. Has there been a referendum? Was the majority or stipulated percentage in support of independence? If not then why not? Are your politicians not in support? Why? Without a referendum how do you know your proposed borders and people? How was South Sudan created? Why not follow due process? 3 Likes |

chrisxxx: Lolz My grandmother used to tell us about how Igbos maltreated their hosts in the North. She said if you lived in the same compound with an Igbo and as a Northerner use the tap. The Igbos will use an iron sponge to wash the tap before they use it. This happened in Kaduna, I wonder what the SS people must have gone through. Anyways to all in the past 3 Likes 1 Share |

dreamxhaser:Bros it was hell. If the people of South South come together to write their different experiences with the Igbo people you will develop goose pimples. There was a man in Nembe during the war that was tied to the mangrove while standing at low tide. They called the whole village out to witness how anyone who sabotaged Biafra would die. Before the villagers the water started to rise. The man was shouting for help even before his immediate family. The water got to his mouth and nose and covered his head. Bros if we sit to give this instances you will see why the animosity between the Igbos and the SS 6 Likes 2 Shares |

chrisxxx: The Biafran war was in 1967. Nigeria was split into six Geographical Zones in 1995. I'm sure you have an agenda but it is best you come clean with your intentions, this time, without lies. The Igbos cannot be waging war in 1967 against a region that only existed 28 years later; that had no common grounds until 1995. I rest my case. |

Stone03: The Resistance According to an Army manual, "a resistance movement is the organized element of a disaffected population, which resists a government or occupying power with means varying from passive to violently active. Resistance movements begin to form when dissatisfaction occurs among strongly motivated individuals who cannot further their cause by peaceful and legal means". Not much has been written about the popular resistance. In their memoirs, Ademoyega and Ejoor make passing reference to it. Much of what we know comes from the written account of Ogbemudia corroborated by oral testimony. For some reason, Alexander Madiebo saw things differently from his position as Commander of the Biafran Army in Enugu, even claiming in his narrative that "Benin was taken early that morning without a single loss of life, amidst frantic jubilation by the entire local population." . One can only wonder about which population he was referring, and the veracity of intelligence reports reaching the East. Many resistance groups may have operated in the Midwest, but one in particular was organized and very effective. This group was the one formed by Chief Michael A. Ojomo in Benin on August 18th. According to Ogbemudia, "….In a short time, recruitment and training started, and volunteers came in hundreds. Soon afterwards, an effective system of hit and runs was in operation…..By 26th of August, we had assembled a reliable force of about 600 men and 180 women……" Supportive citizens, who were too old for action, donated their single and double-barrel cartridge guns. Recruits performed armed and armless combat, isolating and capturing Biafran sentries. Night raiders spat salt into the eyes of soldiers, while attractive girls distracted them with sex, obtained intelligence, and even stole their weapons. In a manner reminiscent of the Vietcong in Vietnam, corpses of freedom fighters were recovered at great peril for burial, frustrating the Biafran units who had just engaged them in firefights. In the Siluko area, 50 Biafran soldiers (about half of a company) were drowned by a group of "Ijaw, Urhobo and Itsekiri swimmers" who lost 16 men in the fight At the behest of the resistance, female cooks put all kinds of things in the meals of the Biafran soldiers. Supported by threatening letters written to harass the Biafran command, rumors spread about the risk of poisoning by locals. It is speculated that even the Administrator, Major Okonkwo, stayed away from food cooked by his official cooks, particularly if they were non-Ibo. But all did not go well indefinitely. Undercover agents were infiltrated into the group and counter-insurgency raids on villages became more frequent and ruthless. Nine of the girls were killed, some in suspicious circumstances. Faced with threats of severe reprisals, extreme caution among the local population became the watchword. However, by this time, they were encouraged by news of the progress of the federal army. After reorienting the movement to undertake psychological and deception missions in support of the theater commander, Major Ogbemudia himself eventually disengaged from guerrilla warfare activities to return to Army HQ in Lagos. From there, he joined the hastily organized Second Infantry Division of the Nigerian Army making its way to Benin City . According to Ejoor, similar activities took place in the Delta. Small groups of Biafran soldiers looking for local Hausa communities in the riverine areas, were drowned by local Urhobo swimmers in the treacherous currents of the Ethiope River. [Oral folk tales claim that even native doctors joined the resistance, using spells and 'juju' to cause unusual ailments among Biafran troops such as massive testicles, clearly an impediment to mobility. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
