On July 29, 1967, Yakubu Gowon wrote a letter to the British Prime Minister, Harlod Wilson, begging him to stop BBC Financial Times and the Economist from reporting the true situation in Biafra in exchange for oil supplies as they gave him arms.

Nigeria

History is the beacon of the future

Except a person doesn’t know anything history. Civil war was a clear genocide by Britain against the people of Biafra for seeking right to self determination .This letter just confirms what everybody knows that If Britain had not intervened and it was only Hausa and Yoruba together, the war would have been a walk over for igbos within a few months

Gowon and awolowo oversaw a Genocide against igbos.

Today igbos are the 5% that holds the country together with unity in hatred

Oh what a time to be alive

Begging their lords to help them survive.

Make una just share this country!! Haba

I saw strength in Biafra Pounds, although i will seek for a total republic for my state

" Civil war was a clear genocide by Britain against the people of Biafra for seeking right to self determination".

The Answer is NO.
The IGBOS ATTACKED ORE TOWN NEAR LAGOS IN YORUBA CLAN, IN THEIR CRUDE STRATEGY TO UNDUELY FORCE THE YORUBAS TO JOIN THEM TO ATTACK THE NORTH.
RATHER THAN GET THE COLLUSION THEY INADVERTENTLY SOUGHT, THE YORUBAS RETALIATED AND THE NORTH JOIN THE YORUBAS TO DISCIPLINE SATAN.

They had Occupied OkitiPupa

"Gowon and Awolowo oversaw a Genocide against igbos".

No secret hidden under the sun that will not be exposed. The atrocities of this civil war will continue to hunt the state.

especially the Midwest Genocide the Biafrans committed when they killed everyone not from their Tribe along the Biafrans Army Withdrawal route between Ore in the Western Region and Agbor and proceeded to Slaughter everyone in Agbor as well not from their Ethnic Group.

was that how the war started, or was that the most important event in the war? THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF THE WAR WAS WHAT CAUSED IT. YOU CAN DODGE THAT ALL MIGHT YOUR. A set of people you claimed was the problem of the nation, and where brutally massarced because of that believe, decided to carry their problem and leave you alone, you said no and you proceed to slaughter more of them. that is the simple summary of the biafran war, nations all over the world agreed that the igbos cause was just, even UK; but NIGERIA say otherwise.

Nah. It was a battle for oil. Do the ibos have oil? Once the south defected. It was over. Ibos were just unnecessarily adamant and ignorant.

Stupid war i must say.

You are really misinformed. The founding fathers were all annihilated. Even awolowo was serving time in prison during the war. That's what saved his life. He had nothing to do with the war.

Was Ore not part of Nigeria that declared war against Biafra?

How our oil wealth was mismanaged

Time heals all wounds

Why can't the North and the West leave the East to go abeg.
We are tired of all this nonsense.
The Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba are the major problems of Nigeria.
You said you don't want a person yet you said they can't leave..... isn't that the height of wickedness.

So beacuse of you people's tribalism this is where you have left the rest of Nigerians.

For me let everyone go their separate ways or we practice parliamentary system, where everyone will handle the affairs of their region. Not a system where a Buffoon is selected by a useless majority to determine the fate of a sensible minority.

Southern elders were scared of Igbo dominance due to the natural greedy tendencies always associated with Igbos

Evacuate your people from Nigeria back to your Region first and everyone will leave you alone nobody will stop you

How you are going to evacuate the ones in Lagos only God’s knows because I can tell you for free

they will not move even if you threaten their lives

It is as if they have taken an Oath never to return home

Having worked in the Secretariat, I understand the feeling of unappreciated the typist of that letter would feel (if he/she is still alive.

He will be somewhere telling people that he typed the letter that ended BBC report about Biafra, and no one will believe him

I am not Igbo.
I am a proud middle-beltan.
Go back and read my write-up more carefully.

Was it the British that made Azikiwe oppose the secession clause proposed by Awolowo?

BobbieZion:

Go back and read my write-up more carefully.

According to an average Yoruba person, anybody that doesn't accept the destroyed Nigeria as it is, is an Igbo person.


Anybody that condemns bad Nigerian government or complain of bad leadership in Nigeria is also Igbo according to most Yorubas.


Anybody that agrees that Nigeria needs to separate peacefully is also an Igbo person according to Yorubas. That is the mediocre mentality of a typical Yoruba person, they want Nigeria to continue the way it is even as it has failed.


Sometimes I keep wondering why Yorubas that disintegration of Nigeria would favor most, are always scared of hearing Nigeria will divide.


With Lagos state, Yorubas won't feel much negative impact of Nigeria's disintegration should Nigeria divide but due to crude oil greed and their cowardice, plus fear of succeeding on their own without using hatred and backstabbing of Igbos to gain favors from the North has always made Yorubas scared of hearing Nigeria wants to divide.



Its shameful, if I was a Yoruba, I will be angry with my people that attack Igbos for agitating to leave Nigeria because division of Nigeria will favor Yoruba region more than any other region
