Vivid imagination just dey burst your brain,allow the dead to rest in peace and move away from a war that the biafrans where almost annihilated.
If not that the Nigerian army still identified the biafrans as still a part of Nigeria,the entire Igbo race from that region would have been annihilated and replaced by northerners, middle Beltans,and the mid-westerners,the war was very very ugly and the biafrans where literally walking on the road and begging for water and food from Nigerian soldiers,they (biafrans) where thoroughly broken and humiliated at the end of the war.

I watched the video and the only thing I saw was some soldiers shooting at emptiness. They were not even aiming or targeting anything which shows there was nothing on sight..

Probably they were just in that mood of shooting for fun..

Anyways, what I like about this video is at least, some young Igbos would get to understand more that it was a war between both sides. There was no victims nor victors! Even tho 3m wasted off!

You watched the video but did hear the song the men were singing? Did you see the dome shaped building in the distance? Of course you dont know anything because you are not Igbo and dont know what you watched

That dome shaped building is Assumpta cathedral, probably the biggest church on Owerri back then, may be even now.

Biafran soldiers advanced on Owerri and recaptured Owerri from Nigeria

But thats to show people the waste of time Nigeria truly is. Over 3 million people died in the name of "one Nigeria", and that one Nigeria only translated into poverty capital of the world and one of the most insecure country on earth, a total disaster

These men were fighting back then not to be part of that future disaster, and Nigeria has since proved them right to fight

May be it would have been better if they had been annihilated, at least them and their children would not be alive to witness the Hell on earth Nigeria has become today

I watched an old documentary where the then British prime minister, Harold Wilson secretly ordered the loading of ships with tanks, artillery, bombs and guns for delivery to Nigerian army. He was desperate to protect their former colony and the resources.

It was indeed a very cruel genocidal war. Biafrans were blockaded on land, air and sea yet the opponents kept receiving shiploads of ammunition, personnel and logistics.
their plan was to exterminate the entire igbo race living in the old eastern region because of crude oil.remeber the genocide started on the streets of Lagos, Kano before easterners fled back home. They would have succeed if not Doctors across borders, Catholic organisations, Israeli state and French govt that exposed the war to the world. Hollywood even shot a movie about the war where Bruce willis was the actor. its called Tears of the Sun

Notice the shaded area, that was what was left of Biafra at that point in time.
Completely surrounded and nowhere else to go. Poor Biafrans, Ojukwu was already packing his bags ready to jump ship.

That's Onitsha road approaching Control, I can see the roof of Maria Assumpta Cathedral in the distance.

Afonjas keep hiding behind Nigeria to challenge Igbos as if they can stand Igbos in warfare. They even lack courage and fighting spirit. Even ijaws will subdue them if they're left to fight each other cheesy cheesy


Remember this ?
Gowon was treating the Biafran like brothers until Awolowo gave him little hints

Those cowards are terrified of the north and are only projecting unto Yoruba because Yorubas are smarter than them. The only Yoruba general who fought in the civil war for nigeria was obasanjo and that’s ironically the same person they worship. That’s how stupid they are.

Biafran war was between Biafra
and Nigeria
and Britain
and America

Actually between Nigeria (UK, America, USSR and most of the AU, as well as the Arab world) and Biafra (France, Portugal, Rhodesia, South Africa, with some tentative support from elements in the USA, and four African countries, probably Israel.)

Lol, someone that can't even practice their own culture on their land, is here talking where men are involved. Have you guys fought any war in your history?

It's not as if you haven't had reasons to fight, but due to fear and lack of men who are bold and courageous. Igbos that fought a bitter war still have their lands in tact, but you that never fought a war lost an entire city?!

Do you know the implications of not being allowed to practice your culture in the land of your forefathers? That can only happen to slaves!!!

Perhaps you need to know more about the history of Nigeria. Yoruba, through the Oyo Empire fought more than any other tribe in Nigeria. Igbo fought only one war and lost it. Yoruba, through the Oyo empire conquered up to Benin Republic and Togo and they still have settlements there till today like Oni Sabe of Sabe and Alaketu of Ketu kingdoms.

There are clans like Oofa, Ikoyi and Ibadan people that their eology talks about war. Igbo people fought only one war and lost it.

Who said its their country? Nigeria is but the colonial creation of the Britsh, it wasnt their country. Even the name "Nigeria" was just something a British woman created in London.

These guys were the ones fighting to create their own country, the rest of Nigeria were those who accepted to be 'British products'

In wars, the hero’s outnumbered the soldiers 100 to 1

Biafra soldiers are the real hero, you can count few men giving it hot to then Nigeria soldiers

If not for the Britain/Russia that keep bombing everywhere in ala Igbo, we would have be the Japan of Africa by now

God bless our fallen hero’s
Biafra is still active in our minds but a different one altogether, umu nnem let’s come back and develop our homeland, a time will come when we will remind Nigerians about this atrocity they committed in Igbo land

Lol, is that the lies they told you?
China requested that Ojukwu should grant them rights to the crude oil in Biafra before they would support, Ojukwu refused and that was it.

France never supported Biafra, if they did, they would have used Cameroun to supply us ammunition. Tanzania? Belgium? Lol, Tanzania and Haiti only gave moral support, they never supported tangibly and neither did they have the resources to do so.
Okoro and lies are inseparable. You dolts are generation of liars.
