You have a sour attitude, no wonder they referred to you as "ajokuta ma momi"
From what you wrote, I can see you have a huge ego and a thin skin, not very good for anyone in a leadership position. May I also add that you are very petty as well for having someone fired because they gossiped about you. Where are your balls?
Yes I have a track record of been very sour towards idiots, and the ones who wanted to violate company policy by introducing dirty tribalism into the workforce got a taste of their own medicine. And I gladly revel in my sourness, cause I WILL NEVER tolerate degenerate scumbags who shamelessly imported some crude behavior harnessed in Osogbo or whatever slum in Nigeria they came from, to come to my agency and tarnish the image of other Nigerians. If e dey pain you, then come and beat me.

Lt.Col Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, a seasoned Military Officer with a degree in History from the Prestigious Oxford University was definitely more knowledgeable than what you just painted.

He knew that unilateral declaration of seccession , especially under a military Government is an act of War and he prepared for war but maybe not well enough.
The Igbos living outside the Eastern Region all left for their Region.




The general sentiment among many Nigerians especially the North was "Good riddance" after the Igbos returned en masse to the East, and I'm pretty sure there were profound secessionist sentiments among Northerners who massed behind the "Araba" ideology which translates to "separation" in Hausa, so surely secession wasn't a new thing given the atmosphere Nigeria found itself at the time, especially when the Aburi accord that could have solved our nagging questions of disunity was reneged upon by Gowon and his cabinet, having agreed to the terms ab initio in Ghana... Until they were talked out of it by the British. But that's not my point, it's a well known that the only reason Nigeria declared war on Biafra wasn't because Ojukwu breached some clause in the military constitution... the times were fraught with tension, uncertainty, and hate particularly in the East whose people have been hit hard in the fall out of massacres all over Nigeria... Ojukwu had every moral and justifiable right to want out of a union that clearly didn't want his people, and we both know the actual reason Nigeria went to war was because of OIL and nothing more, the " To keep Nigeria One is a Task that must be done" mantra bandied by Gowon and his government, was just a smoke screen to mask the true objective of the Nigerian government. So let's not pretend we didn't know the distinct reason the first shots were fired by the Federal side in July of 67...

no nation supported us with arms...they just recognised us and some tried to lift aid materials to us....the arms we used were captured from naija soldiers
I already schooled his ignorance, maybe he will take his time and actually read my reply to his ignorance, research, and learn.

With all the foreign nations that supported you


Nigerian Army Still destroyed you militarily

Stop lying
So Wikipedia which any idiot can edit is now your source of information on the Civil War? Even with all the countless books on the war written by credible participants and authors, which are also available in the internet database and other public domains ... surely you can't be that stupid to cite Wikipedia as your go-to source. Firstly there's a difference between diplomatic support and military support, and even your useless wiki source is fraught with inaccuracies, misinformation, and evident tampering of facts by some dunce with a false sense of knowledge on the facts of the civil war. Let me briefly school you cause I spent the best part of my life reading and researching on the Biafran war, so I'm educated and versed enough to reel out my facts which you can verify for yourself (hopefully you will actually put your time and brain to extensive use, rather than recourse to the most ridiculous, intellectually demeaning and laziest source as your mainstay of fact). On your Wiki source... It's pertinent to know that more than half of those countries listed there that supposedly supported Biafra DID NOT actually support the new Republic, pick up some books, articles, journals (I can recommend some for you), if you are intellectually lazy to actually use Google and type out the countries that recognized and supported Biafra during the war... the results will actually show up on many credible sources and database. But back to my point, Diplomatically few counties like Ireland, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Zambia, Haiti, Tanzania and few other Scandinavian countries like Norway supported Biafra... But NEVER MILITARILY aided the Biafrans (I'm sure you are smart enough to know the difference between diplomatic support and Military support), so in hope that you do...i will press on with my points. Those aforementioned countries I mentioned, that diplomatically supported Biafrans provided help in various capacities like Ireland sending planeloads of relief materials through organizations like CARITAS, IICC, and the Red cross via Sao tome, and then to Biafra to feed the starving population (God bless the people of Ireland who stood up for injustice to the end). Ireland also did send lots of their Reverend fathers, sisters, missionaries, doctors, and relief workers to help Biafrans in various humanitarian capacities. The other countries I mentioned did play some vital role in sustaining the Biafran struggle by been conduits in bringing international awareness via the press, media, and other outlets available that helped globalize the suffering of the Biafran population (especially in the peak of mass starvation setting in) especially when a disease caused by protein deficiency affecting Biafran children called Kwashiokor began to hit TV and newspapers all over the world for the first time...eliciting an international outrage never seen up till that point.

Now THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT MILITARILY supported Biafra was France, and even this was rather belated and half-hearted, it was actually until the late quarter of 1968 that France started to provide weapons to Biafran soldiers... no other country is on record for supporting Biafra militarily except France... Of course there were few foreign mercenaries from South Africa(like the famous Taffy Williams), Germany (like Rolf Steiner), and few others from Belgium, Sweden and Rhodesia... But this were just mercenaries that were paid for short term periods to fight for Biafra before leaving to their respective countries. For all purpose and intent, Biafrans were mostly on their own, fighting mostly with old rusty bolt action rifles or weapons they captured from enemy soldiers killed in combat, against far better equipped Nigerian soldiers who rolled out British and Russian equipped modern weapons like Ferrets, Saracen armored cars, artillery guns and shells, fighter jets and bombers, hundreds of mercenaries from Egypt, Chad, Cameroon, and pretty much the rest of Nigeria including non-Igbos in Biafra especially from the minority areas that helped to sabotage the war effort by showing Nigerian troops secret routes to attack Biafran soldiers etc... the backbone of Biafran resistance was mostly gotten from what Igbos ingeniously invented by themselves like the Ogbunigwe and locally made claymores etc. For clarity sake, the Igbos faced an enemy force 10x bigger, definitely paling in comparison to its smaller and spent size.

And yes the classified files revealed the statistics on the casualties suffered by the Nigerian army was higher than the Biafran side... in Abagana alone, nearly 30,000 Nigerian troops were wiped out in what was to become the biggest ambush of the war... other battles like the disastrous River Niger crossing attempts by Murtala Muhammad's 2 infantry division that saw about 9,000 soldiers massacred by the Biafrans(even Nigerian officers who witnessed and survived it, went on to write about it in their civil war memoirs)... I could go on and on. The only massive kill ratio the Nigerian government had to their name was mostly meted out on women, children, and old people(Civilians to be precise ) ...no thanks to starvation, terror bombings from mostly Egyptian piloted planes, "shoot-to-kill anything that moves orders" as famously declared by the likes of Adekunle etc.

In hindsight, I doubt any ethnic group would have survived or lasted as long as the Igbos did if you consider the handicap on their end, I'm pretty the Yorubas would have surrendered in just few months of fighting had they been in the shoes of the Igbos (after all the Western region remained occupied by predominantly Northern troops before, during, and even after the war)... and the yorubas were to scared to send them packing... Igbos did, and had to pay the price by fighting nearly the whole of Nigeria backed by international superpowers... I don't want war or advocate for it, but a people who have seen war in all its horrors like the Igbos have with all its aftermaths like the wicked political and economic policies initiated by the Nigerian government to further subjugate the Igbos... You've got to respect them inspite of your bias/hatred for been able to weather the storm ad emerge even stronger in nearly any indices of socio-economic achievements in that country.
