Have you bothered to research how the OPC use exploding guinea-fowl eggs to destroy buildings and fend of attacks that invention steal takes the cake over any mass-duster. imagine if it was introduced in the Biafran war

kettykin:

more like an Air defense system which proved very eefective for counter air, surface to air warfare and was aslo used for ground operations , Biafra had rather operated a very effective air defense and naval defense , prospectively speaking Biafra was simply overwhelmed by the Soviet Union's air Superiority and the United Kingdom Unbeatable warfare logistics.

Anyone who calls this an 'anti-aircraft missile' has to be shot on sight for stupidity.

So you weld a simple tube, pack in explosives, put in pebbles and other small material for shrapnel, add springs to dampen vibration and to handle recoil and then you say you have an anti-aircraft missile?

It's a pity Nigerians are so poorly educated that this crude implement can be hyped beyond belief as an 'anti-aircraft missile'.

As Jakumo says, this probably drew inspiration from mortars of the day as well as ancient cannons firing grapeshot. What is clear is that this weapon had virtually no chance of ever bringing down any aircraft.

meonbooty:

Maybe there was no technique in the first place.


Was that shyt an anti aircraft missile or an anti grass missile? I thought it was a tractor . On closer look, it actually looks like a mouse trap?

macjive01: I believe u just read a chronology of how the ogwunikwe came about, and just saw a picture of it in the Biafra museum umuahia ?

Patent ? No single person owns it, Biafra lost, so does her intellectural rights , they only person who can make a claim on this is dead - ojukwu, next is FG.

Now which FG body is remotely concern with inventions ?

Ohaneze1: For yoreoba dolts on this thread who never believed that Igbos are African Jews just like there is American Jews:

"On March 31, 1968: Biafran army won their biggest battle. by ambushing and destroying a 96-vehicle column of Nigerian soldiers with locally hand made bomb called [Ogbunigwe or bucket bomb]. The humiliating Abagana defeat to Nigerian soldiers prompted General Yakubu Gowon to remove Col. Murtala Mohammed as the General Commanding Officer of the Onitsha sector."

nwabobo: Here is the picture of the Ogbunigwe launcher as displayed at the National War museum Umuahia.

Ohaneze1:


Which OPC?? please disappear before I descend on you.Biafra held Nigeria with all its fire power for 30months (3years). OPC and entire Yoruba tribe cannot even stand such fire power for mere 24hrs. Ordinary boko haram almajris will finish you guys and your OPC.

supereagle: It was a mistake allowing Biafra to remain part of Nigeria today. Their Sons have soiled the good Image of Nigeria through organized International Crimes:Drug pushing ,419, Kidnapping is more rampant in the south east than any other parts of the country.Most crimes committed out Nigeria, Igbo Men are behind them.

ndu_chucks: This Ogbunigwe crap is the biggest 419 ever perpetrated on the biafrans and everyone else alike. Not a single person has been able to provide anyone with the machine tools used to manufacture the Ogbunigwe let alone its launcher. Did they use scrap from existing metals in their manufacturing process, or was it Okija juju which was employed to reform scarp metal into this so-called weapon?

If the weapon was worth anything, why has no one been able to obtain a patent for it? Why is it that Ogbunigwe only existed in biafra? Ogbunigwe is nothing but a hoax and a propaganda tool which was used to decieve innocent biafran soldiers into dying for nothing!

Nonsense and ingredients!!!

drnoel:
From that pix the equipment can not be easy to carry. It would require at least 5 men to lift it. I wonder how they accomplished firing enough of it to cause so mush destruction.

vanstanzy:

ITS SO FUNNY AND REALLY VERY INTERESTING THAT THE YORUBA MAN IS ALWAYS VERY JEALOUS AND ENVIOUS OF HIS NEIGHBORS. MAKE IT IN LIFE, AND THEY ENVY YOU. DON'T MAKE IT IN LIFE, AND THEY STILL ENVY YOU.
WHEN UR LAZINESS, FILTH AND GLUTTONY WON'T ALLOW U LOT DO ANYTHING OR THINK ANYTHING GOOD.
JEALOUSY AND ENVY WILL NEVER HELP YOU LOT, PERIOD. SMH!
