DomPerignon:so it's actually a greed war from the Nigerian side to fight Biafra because of oil rich SS I said earlier that Nigerian government isn't fighting BokoHaram because they have nothing to lose you just confirmed it |

BeninRefugees: At last Ojukwu ran away. The starvation only began after you were limited to your ancestral land. Ojukwu , like Zelensky should have negotiated a peace deal to get his landlocked Biafra but he still thought he could re annex the SS and foolishly sacrificed his people. Can you tell us why Ojukwu had ifenjuna executed ? Was it not for negotiating with Nigerian forces behind Ojukwu's back towards seeking a surrender and return to Nigeria ? Greed and nothing else was the reason for biafraism. 2 Likes |

BeninRefugees: The reason for the Jan 15 coup and the decree 34 and later Biafra was because the SS provinces were one step towards being granted their own region . The greed for the newly discovered oil wealth is why we had a Jan 15 coup that led to an Ironsi igbocentric dictatorship that abolished all regions and consolidated powers to themselves at the centre towards controlling the newly discovered oil wells .. So when Adaka Boro declared independence from Nigeria following announcement of decree 34, Ironsi ordered Ojukwu to stamp out the movement by bombing and pillaging Ijaw communities You guys were never victims but the villains .l 2 Likes |

DomPerignon: greed? did you read a page about the Biafra war at all ? Ojukwu just woke up one morning and declared Biafra? Nigeria declared war on Biafra because of oil nothing it was an international war to make sure people who owns the oil don't control it was war of greed from FG to secure oil that's the motivation to finish up Biafra again oil is the motivation Nigeria army had to fight Biafra back to the topic what is Fg going to gain fighting BokoHaram? they have no motivation whatever that's why they're playing with them with kids gloves since 17 years now |

BeninRefugees: Liar. Ojukwu declared his Biafra by dragging people who wanted nothing to do with it . Those people were the already Ibo weary SS tribes who had been striving since 1953 to have their own seperate region until December 1965 when they secured the support of northern, western and Midwestern federal Parliamentarians to grant a plebescite for the creation of COR region. Sensing that this will turn the old east into the poorest region , Azikiwe marshalled his Ibo kinsmen to ensure parliament never reconvened from the long Christmas break. That is why the timing of the coup of Jan 15 should never be overlooked because in just a few days the federal parliament was set to reconvene with the question of the COR region being the first list on the docket of the house. The coup happened and Ironsi did not waste time destroying regions and creating a centralised system that saw to him and his Ibo Zikist cabinet controlling all the wealth at the centre. Pure greed and nothing else is what led to the senseless biafran civil war. FYI, Biafra declaration wont have caused any stir but for the fact that Ojukwu dragged the SS people into it. Same people Ojukwu genocided under Ironsi for daring to leave Nigeria is whom Ojukwu dragged into his biafra. God pass Una. 3 Likes 1 Share |

DomPerignon: the failed coup was because of 1. corruption in office 2. Instability in western region by Awọ boys doing Thier Operation WETIE 3. Tribalism and all that if it's because of Igbos greed then you're not being logical or sincere because Igbos held very juicy positions who wouldn't want a power instability the coup was carried out by every region in Nigeria (Read 'Why we struck" by Ademoyoga) Igbos happened to be seniors and more in the thing and to confirm the whole failure some notable igbo leaders were left out that was very sad and disappointing that was huge failure so Nigeria already heated polity will do the needful with the help of very Awo-sided Western press who were the primary source of information then help do the dirty job Una bad sha no be today Aguiyi was in Congo Baba doesn't have any clear understanding what Nigeria had been upto started touring flouting warnings from his brothers According to sources he is " the queen's boy" he wasn't a very decisive person if not he would have executed the coup plotters and end the heated polity. no he kept touring tho he declared unitary government he didn't carry it out about Adaka Boro you have to understand that Nigeria was in a changing phase Ojukwu suppressed it in fear of governments Unitary system to avoid his region being called out before he had a discussion with Gowon in Aburi they didn't bomb any ijaw communities that's just one of the lies your parents told you Adaka Boro was just arrested along with some people who supported the course the main reason Nigeria and the rest of international community was against Biafra was because of oil some SS regions are Igboid . nzeogwu was from SS he literally caused everything we didn't deny him being one of us so we are together.. again Nigeria has nothing significant to gain fighting BokoHaram that's why the war will continue till 29 years |

BeninRefugees: You are the architects of a failed Nigeria and have no business trying to rule over anyone. We will ensure Nigeria is restructured back to its original template at independence using existing geopolitical lines. If you don't like it , then declare your Biafra and see if you won't get it within your five states. You can not and should not blackmail and gasslight others for what you caused. 2 Likes |

Re: Biafra War Was 3 Years Boko Haram 17 Years & Counting??? by DomPerignon: 11:27am On Mar 13 |
BeninRefugees: FYI, apart from being more committed fighters to their cause , the Nigerian govt has decided (in my opinion) to maintain BH to serve as a containment for radicalised northern Muslims to go vent their frustration. It's just as how police the world over maintain some criminal gangs to act as informants . The Biafra war ended because it's leader ran away and ordered his deputy to surrender. 2 Likes |

Re: Biafra War Was 3 Years Boko Haram 17 Years & Counting??? by DomPerignon: 11:33am On Mar 13 |
BeninRefugees: Your leader ran away. He should have fought till the end if he truly was fighting a just cause. No. Rather he ran away when he saw that his greedy plans had collapsed and there was no fight left in his army and people. Has any BH commander ever surrendered? They fight to the end because they are driven not by material greed but an ideology that they feel is worth dying for. Now that's a formidable force to behold and not your materialism driven biafraism that collapsed 6 months after war was declared. 2 Likes |

KnowAll: How about converting that forest to a grazing reserve, let's assume the forest is 518 square kilometers, that is about 51,800 hectares of land or 128,000 acres of land. With the increasing need to preserve the natural forest let say 25 percent is to be converted to grazing reserve with the rest untouched, there will be 32,000 acres of grazing land which can comfortably contain 4,000,000 cows with calf's. A lot has to be to push out bandits, relocate wildlife, resettle small communities, remove mines that where previously place by warring groups and setting up the facilities and forage for grazing. The military will be there to create a front surrounding these areas, to protect the trillion naira business that has been set up. If it conceivably it's achievable Modified, 4,000,000 multiplied by 300,000 per cow that's one trillion two hundred billion. That's like getting one hundred billion every month, now tell me is there any state that generate that kind of money, and we're talking about rearing free range cows for 3% of the Nigerian budget. |

I think in Nigeria there too many places that are ungoverned, unmanned, undiscovered, never tampered with by humans. In such circumstances bandits move into that space. What I noticed in Southern African countries there is no land that does not belong to someone. I travelled 500 miles in Namibia and both side of d roads there was barb wires on d road meaning that the land belongs to someone. Unlike in Nigeria where u have raw undaultrated forest never ever cultivated by humans making it a safe heaven for bandits and Boko Haram. |
