What is Starvation Policy? Were you expecting Yorubas and Hausas to be farming and producing food, then send it to eat and continue chest beating all around the country? So, you pick up arms and ammunition against the government and you expect other tribes to be producing food and sending to you? You need psychiatric evaluation.

tsdarkside:

leokid866:
You speak as if the division was a total one like in the case of North and South korea....but it wasn't people were allowed to travel to either side as they pleased but with restrictions. Despite their division they still maintained a good rappor with each other and where able to make unified decisions like sending aid to biafra when they saw how starved the children had become.....read bruv education is key.

leokid866:
Oga have some sense despite the fact Germany was controlled by various parties and was the center for the fight between democracy and communism it was still referred to as Germany a formal nation.....it's like saying because your hand cant reach your ass to wipe its no longer part of your body.....even the picture you put up refers to it as Germany. Yes they were divided but the Nation was still referred to as Germany....hope you can comprehend that...

leokid866:
You are dumb to use the issue of the cold war as an excuse to say Germany did not exist as a nation during the Nigerian civil war....that was an internal struggle much like our civil but less blodied. but when it came to their foreign policy like helping the biafrans lose a war they were classified as Germany.....not east Germany or west Germany....just germany.....now please go to sleep and make sure you enroll in some history classes in the morning and stop shaming us as a people

leokid866:
Please go back to school....please I'm begging you for the sake of the future of your kids.....

leokid866:
Please go to bed.....and then tomorrow sign up to any generational university to have yourself re-educated.

leokid866:
So it's now obvious whatever money your parents spent on your education is lost.....cause a simple Google search would tell you Germany as a country was formed January 18 1871.

leokid866:
So it's obvious you have been living under a rock for a long time and have long since left the modern world behind...ps the attachment is from a premium times write up.....there are also several videos online of French soldiers fighting alongside biafran soldiers and bringing in aid via air....I'm sure you will find them if you get closer to Google....

leokid866:
Google is your friend and it's 2020....please stop been stupid and shaming us as a people because when you go out there they won't categories you as an igbo man but a Nigerian.

Of course you read Obasanjo's book, My Command. I have read it. I have also read Alabi Isama's book, "A tragedy of Victory". One of the most complete first eye witness narrative of what happened at the theatre of war.

That book has over a thousand real life war pictures taken by the author himself. It was him and Akinrinade who did most of the job before Obasanjo, came and took victory for what he did not do.

If as you claim you have read many of the civil war memoirs and books and you haven't read that of Alabi Isama, then I have to admit to you that you haven't read any.

The book is out in the stores. Go get one and read. Then maybe you will see the war from another perspective.

Note that while Akinrinade and Alabi Isama engaged the female members of the military in signifying duties, Obasanjo got there be turned them to easy lay for the tired soldiers. I bet Obasanjo didn't include that in his "My Command".

I have read both. And I can authoritatively tell you that you haven't read any civil war book if that's the only one you read.

Go get Isama's book and come back for a debate.

You said there was a shouting match. After the shouting match, the Biafran side signed that the war was over. Does that make sense to you?

What were they shouting over?

What was the topic of discussion that led to the shouting match.

We have pictures of Obasanjo signing and receiving the surrender of Biafran soldiers.

Where are the pictures of the shouting match?

leokid866:
"They weren’t held at gun point but there was a shouting match between the Biafran contingent and Gen Obasanjo where he suggested they return to the field and continue fighting and surrender when they lose" you shot yourself with this.....if it was sure for them why didn't they refuse the deal and return to the field? You have no point with your own write up....please try again.

leokid866:
Lol like the biafran side did not have allies.....please go sit and read up on history.

FrLukas:
This person is in denial. O ma se o.

If they thought they were in Dodan barracks for negotiation as you claim, why did Ojukwu run away?

Wasn't he in the best position to negotiate on behalf of Biafra?

And when Effiong and his people saw that they were tricked, why didn't they continue to war when they got home.

You have been lying to yourself for a long time bro.

You asked the other guy to show proof that Biafra surrendered.

Now, show us proof that the Biafran warlords were forced at gunpoint to read and sign a document signifying the end of Biafra and all hostilities.

Osidazz19:
The New York times and all other news outlets called it a SURRENDER when it happened. I'm 1000 percent sure that they know more about what happened back then than you know today. The Biafrian Army surrendered, and their leader fled the country to Ivory coast in the middle of the night.
Using your logic, I guess the Germans can also claim that they did not lose the second world war. It was a ruse by the Americans and Soviets. Got it.

LAGOS, Nigeria, Jan. 14 (AP)—Following is the text of the surrender document signed here today by Lieut. Col. Philip Effiong, who was a major general and is act ism as leader of the Biafrans:

I, Philip Effiong, do hereby declare: I give you not only my own personal assurances but also those of my fellow officers and colleagues and of the entire former Biafran people of our fullest cooperation and very sincere best wishes for the future.

It is my sincere hope the lessons of the bitter struggle have been well learned by everybody and I would like therefore to take this opportunity to say that I, Maj. Gen. Philip Effiong, officer administering the government of the Republic of Biafra, now wish to make the following declaration:

That we are firm, we are loyal Nigerian citizens and accept the authority of the federal military Government of Nigeria.

That we accept the existing administrative and political structure of the Federation of Nigeria.

That any future constitutional arrangement will worked out by representatives of the people of Nigeria. That the Republic of Biafra hereby ceases to exist.


That's from the New York times Jan 16 1970

Do you have any prove that you are breathing in oxygen right now? I doubt it. If you have prove pls share it here.
We need prove not just assumptions that you are breathing.

Osidazz19:
Pls stay off the crack or whatever you have been smoking.

Okoyiboz3:
No Victor No vanquished. Why didn't Ojukwu wait na?

Biafrans were defeated in battle. They are defeated people and they gave an unconditional surrender cos they were defeated and their cowardly leader ran off like a bastard.

FrLukas:
Did I say somewhere that Awolowo ASKED Zik to insert anything anywhere?

I'm confused.
