Read a Biafra story by Federick Foresight

Roger3D:
Its currently not available on Amazon. I would have loved to get a hold of that book. All my reading has been from people who were either on the federal side or sympathetic to their cause. It would be refreshing to read about those sad events from the perspective of the Biafran side

How is it that the people who lost 20 persons are crying more than the people who lost 3 million?

Lifestone:
How do you tell those mourning how to mourn. They are crying over those who killed their loved ones, just the way the love ones of other coups cries at each anniversary the way they felt.
Shouting them down or telling them what to say only open the wound the more. Fact is fact you can't wish it a way. We all as a country should move on.

What about the Northen killings of Igbos of the 40s and 50s...what triggered them?

Lifestone:
The more you guys make this argument, the more you make matter worse, without the 15th January 1966, there won't be the Muritala Coup.

Because Nigeria refused to recover. Inspite of the millions of Igbos that died in the civil war, the West and North are still the most pained from that era. Doesn't make sense!

How many times do you hear Japanese reminding the US of Hiroshima and Nagasaki or pearl Harbor?

seunmsg:
Without the murders of January 15th, 1966, there wouldn’t have been a massacre on 29th July, 1966. The terrible acts committed by Ibo officers on 15th January 1966 killed the unity of Nigeria and the camaraderie in the military. Nigeria has not recovered from the affliction of that day.

You know nothing. Read an independent account of what happened before, during and after the civil war.

Godwin4444:
this is y we insist history must b told, u Igbos are twisting history n when people set d record straight u claim they are spreading hate

1) If not that u people are dumb, do u expect to fight people in war n at the same time u expect the people u are fighting to feed u?

When u know u wanted to fight a war, y not get your food n everything u need?

It is an idiot that will b fighting people n at d same time expecting d same people to feed him

2) the 20 pound lie have been bursted a million times, u Igbos withdrew all your money in Nigeria banks n changed it to Biafra pounds.

Now ask yourself if this made sense, u Igbos were leaving Nigeria then y will u still keep money in Nigeria bank?
What if u won d war, what will happen to d money?

Go n read history books, u Igbos withdrew all your money from Nigeria banks n converted it to Biafra pounds

The money given to u after the war was benevolence

3) see the reason y we yorubas are calling for reintroduction of history, yorubas returned all Igbo properties n were paid their rent for d 3 years

It was the south south that seized your properties because u drafted them into a war they never wanted and they lost n their properties destroyed

U Igbos can allign with whoever u want that's your business, all we want is live n let live

Allign with whoever u want but when u lose don't come n make noise

Thief like Tilumbu cannot be said to be rich

helinues:
That's Forbes ranking.

Seh Forbes dey rate politicians or yahoo boys?

Those founding fathers ruined Nigeria.

The people worshipping Awolowo today actually kept him in jail for a long time.

wonder233:
A Muslim about to die should recite the khalimatul sha'adah.
So, the man traded paradise for a curse on a tribe? You can see to the extent tribalism is disease. It would make you cut your nose to spite your face.

Lastly fvvk all our so-called founding fathers, they founded nothing but tribalism and hate. From Zik to Awolowo to Balewa. They should all rot in hell

Delta has substantial Igbo population and I know because I'm one

Godwin4444:
when it comes to land grabbing, Igbos are worse than fulanis

The difference is just that Igbos don't have d support n power n people already know them for who they are

U can see how they are claiming rivers state now, n now they want delta

Don't worry Igbos will still tell us one day that anywhere u find Igbos in Nigeria is Igbo land n they own it

You're sounding as though those coupist got mandate from the generality of Igbos. Nobody voted for them so they represent no one.

Are you saying soldiers from your tribe in the Nigerian army carry your mandate?

Godwin4444:
u want them to forgive the past but u are yet to admit u did something wrong

The first path to forgiveness is when the agressor admits his mistake

We really miss you. Kai

OMG!
If my calculation is right and my understanding of the human gestation is good, she was pregnant at 14.
If I didn't read any better I would have sworn this was some fiction set in an imaginary illiteracy-ravaged Sharia town in the Northeast, but it happened amongst us, the non-liberal sophisticated intellectuals of the west.

Asides being guilty of statutory rape, her pedophile of a husband should also be charged for triggering the insecurity of a minor.
The poor girl assumed he had someone else feeding him since he won't eat her food.

The fastest way to get into trouble as a man is to be in a relationship with an immature lady. God knows I'd pick an evening newspaper with floppy boobs over a GenZ with projectile-like hooters for many reasons.

An evening newspaper will never lose sleep over an upset male partner because she's been passed around by loads of guys in her lifetime to know that most men are scum, but younger ladies barely understand their own emotion, so they take drastic actions whenever faced with those subtle mind games that men must employ to maintain the lead in relationships.

It's the married woman in her 20s and mid 30s that from getting advice on how to better handle her partner ends up shagging her colleague bestie in the office cloakroom.

It is the younger ladies in their early twenties and late thirties that would slice a man's preek off while he's asleep just for commenting on another lady's whatsapp status.

It is also the younger ones that will commit suicide just to either spite you or get you into trouble.

You see the older ones; those akpuruka women with tough kpekus in their mid forties and early fifties? They come with less drama, grant more independence and know how to love when they eventually get a man.

Because asides having tasted life to know that most things are vanity, they appreciate firsthand that a woman's greatest laurel is a man.

Wives eventually becomes mothers. Its a cycle

Samantha125:
Your mother is supposed to be your father's responsibility and not yours, she nurtured you because it was her duty as a mother.

Or do you now want to be her husband?

Wike must obey Fubara

Why are you crying more than the bereaved?

stuffs2002:
Wetin dey worry you. I care less about real or fake Igbos.
Save your explanations for the real Igbos who call you fake

Delta is a state, being Igbo has to do with ethnicity

stuffs2002:
Nzougwu is your kinsman from Delta who are desperate to become Igbos and like you, he is willing to ass lick real Igbos

You're neither here nor there

zero8zero:
He was more sympathetic to Nigeria than Biafra, he never kowtow to Ojukwu.

Igbos are not responsible for Nzeogwu's actions. He took those actions as a military man, nobody voted for him so has no mandate

stuffs2002:
Ahmadu Bello treated Nzougwu like a son and raised him as one of his own. Ahmadu Bello even celebrated Nzouwhu's promotions

1) It shows a snake remains a snake no matter how much love you showed to it and it will strike you dead at the first opportunity it gets
2) It shows those who have deep rooted hatred for you and your people cannot be made to change their mind no matter how much you loved them

He wasnt sober, he died in the war. The reason is because his coup gave Northerners the ability to move from 25% of Nigeria when it was 4 regions to 50% of Nigeria when it was 12 states and now over 50% now that its 36 states

zero8zero:
Because he was sober & came back home, same as Ojukwu

If dem born you well, why not do the kil1ings now!

Sleekfingers:
How I wish I was born during that time.....I will kill any Okoro without thinking twice..... including children and wives.

I remember what one of my uncle told me , who was a friend of black scorpion......he said , he regretted not killing Igbo children and women , during the civil war.
I asked him why ......he said , oka bi omo , o bi Oro, ologbo bi omo , o bo ole, .....

So he is a northerner. Why should Igbos be held accountable for his military actions?

stuffs2002:
Nzeougwu marked the worst record of back stabbing in the history of Nigeria.

Nzeougwu was raised and made a Northerner by Sardauna because Nzeougwu's father was a gardener in Sardauna's house so he knew everyone in Sardauna's house and used come and grow freely.

Sardauna was the one that gave Nzeougwu the name Kaduna so as to make him a full Northerner and thereafter put him in the army using a northern slot.

You see the killings in the North from 2009 till date, over 60k killed? Its retribution for 1966 pogroms

Godwin4444:
no wonder u Igbos teamed up with the north n the north killed u in return n gave power to d yorubas

U Igbos are still crying about that till today

Even before meeting the Igbos, before almagamation, you were bowing to the Fulanis. Ilorin comes to mind

Godwin4444:
yes

We prefer to bow down to fulanis than having anything doing with the igbos

If the North and West hated what Nzeogwu did, why was he given a national burial despite fighting on the side of Biafra?

zero8zero:
Awolowo was not a military. He was accorded his respect and honoured with the highest title in the country, GCFR.

Igbos are the most successful groups in Nigeria. Nigerians are paying far more price than Igbos

NoIgboSoundTueh:
January 15, 2025, marks 59 years since Igbos, driven by greed, carried out a coup, murdering leaders from other ethnic groups while sparing their own. This act, forever created a stigma of distrust for which they continue to forever pay the price.

Do you know that Nigeria gave Nzeogwu a national burial but did not give Awolowo? Use your tongue to count your teeth

Biodun556:
It was a brutal coup, even wives were not spared. Kaduna Nzegwu was boasting of how killed Ahmadu Bello in a video

Master strategist with no strategy

Tinubu choice is mightier than all of you combined? Thats glorification of servitude

ogolemati:
nairaland agbero chairman don't mind those noise makers.whoever Tinubu pick will be governor.till then

But this has no positive impact on your life!

aswani:
God forgive me as I laughed seeing the name.

The era of quota system is gone, now the best people, as determined by the government of the day, are appointed.

If you don't like it, work hard to ensure you are part of the government so you too can fill up spaces with your own.

You guys were hailing Asari a very short while ago. You're neither here nor there

AdolfHitlerxXx:


Those who Asari boldly called Ijaw slaves will come to azzlick him. Just watch.

The azzlick3rs have once worshipped Wike and Reno till those ones dealt with them.

He found a way to insult Igbos because of Wike who also insults Igbos.

MrEverest:
Lol, I like the way he is insulting Wike publicly. The same way Wike used to insult others, now they're ridiculing him.

Even Tinubu is also insulted too.

You were hailing Asari when he was supporting Tilumbu and attacking Igbos. The chicken has come home to roost

yarimo:
Shame on FUBARA for appointing criminal as king

You guys don't even like Obj so saying he was the best under Obj is definitely not the reason.

You support him because he was against Obi's presidential ambition

EmperorCaesar:


Because hes an excellent leader

He was arguably the best guy under OBJ cabinet and is maybe the best CBN Gov ever.

You should like excellent people too

Wike must obey Fubara

jericco1:
Fubaru has used Wike to wipe his ass
