Normality: I heard Ihejirika built an armoury in Abia state, heard it somehow from the military base in my village in Obingwa when I visited last December.
My bosom friend in d army (yes, we shared room together in our house before he joined army) told me a lot of tins happened during Ihejirika's time that the North got very annoyed, he made mention of hardcore weapons being shifted shout, dunno what he meant, but he talked like tins really happened.

But that's none of my business.

Leave him


He doesn't know why the North despise Ihejirika


What OBJ couldn't do, he did


He built not just an armoury in Abia state but also a 9000 capacity cantonement in Bayelsa with sufficient armoury.


That's why guys like me expect Mininah to build a military industry in the South if possible in Akwa Ibom especially Annang region.

Sealeddeal: You guys should throw away emotion. There is no Biafra anymore. We were made Nigerians in 1970 and all our toils today is a nigerian toil.
You should be aware that if your statements is anything to go by,FG may even victimize INNOSON and i am begging all you to stop it. If you guys want to be Biafrans, do it with whatever you have in your town. Leave Nnewi out of it.

Why haven't they victimized Akwa Ibom governor for erecting a memorial for dead Biafrans


Let me tell you

Biafra as a word and region is older than Nigeria


Check Innoson very well

Biafran influence his zeal for industrialization of Igboland.

torkaka: My friend, ohafia barracks was re-established for the newly established 14 brigade of the nigerian army with sub units in akwa ibom and ebonyi!

You don't even know the formations in your area yet you come here singing military power!!

And you think an armoury was not built inside of it


Ok keep holding unto your view.

Sealeddeal: it is great Nigerians.

Which Nigeria

Is it the dumping ground of all imported goods created by the so called victors


Guy

Face reality

Biafran war stirred up our technological interest


Why it stirred up you guys interest in importing all types of junks

Great Biafrans


I wish Ojukwu was alive

torkaka: Bloddy liar, a brigade barracks was built in ohafia, abia state!!

You are free to doubt

But it was on NTA news

I watched it


Hahahahahaha

Guy stop living in the past

torkaka: For your information, jews are the most racist people on earth and blacks are at the down ladder of their order.

Try and read about how ethiopian jews are treated by isreal!!

Isreal- support? You make me laugh

Racist Nation you call Israel

And someone said some of GEJ body guard are Israelis

And they helped Biafrans during the early hours of the war

And they helped Idi Amin until when he bleeped up and his Bleep up was treated


Pls study those Jews again.

torkaka: You make me laugh, there's no single nigeria military armoury in the 5 eastern states!! None!!
Go and find out!! This is what happens when you beat your chest without the facts!!

Two armouries were built in Abia and Bayelsa states during Ihejirika's era to house heavy weapons stockpiled in the North that were being sold secretly to BH.

TheClown: The most sensible thing to do. However, it wod not come to that, we the middle belters would not allow it.

What do you have to exchange for weapons

Have you asked yourself why MB was powerless against fulani invasion of their villages.

Even the much talk about TIVs could not protect their villages or recapture them until the Federal govt intervened.

torkaka: Isreal?? Support an african nation? You are joking right?

You see

You don't know military history

In the last civil war


Israel supported Biafra

It was when their war erupted against the Arabs did they left Biafra to repel Arab agression

Unfortunately

Biafra war ended before theirs

Israel vs Arab 1967 - 1970

Biafra vs Nigeria 1967 - 1970

That is why guys like me believe God stopped Biafra by distracting Israel for the sake of the Middle Belts Christians.

That is why every true Biafran will never abandon MB just the way we never abandoned the Ijaws.

torkaka: The question is, will western nations risk another war involvement and provide military support or equipment because of oil? The answer, no! Their recent involvements in countries like libya, iraq, syria and co has back fired! Besides, western nations have been awoken by the daily display of russian high handedness and the uncomfortable silence of china in world matters, and are no longer willing to task their purse doing global policeman.

On the other hand, will the arab/persian world covertly support a northern army? The answer (if you are sincere with yourself) is clear.

The next question, what is the amount/quantity of nigerian military hardware in the 5 eastern states right now as compared with that in the north? That answer should also be clear to you (and please don't bring in some fantasy belief of eastern stockpile). What is he status of aerial power in the 5 eastern states? Where is Nigeria's armoury?

Surely you don't need a prof to tell you that in the event of a break, the north will be the aggressor.

My advice to you and your lot, weigh your war success on the armoury you have now and not on the armoury you hope to buy!

The maghreb region at the moment is filled with sophiscated arms that left Libya's war houses!

You think Israel will standby and watch the Arabs support Arewa to overrun Biafra.

You think Israelis will not use their western connection to support Biafra

Guy

Study international politics well.

As for armoury

Do you know the greatest mistake Ojukwu made during Biafra war.?

Not agreeing to exchange Biafran oil for Russian weapons.

That mistake was corrected by the ND militants and won't be repeated by the Igbos.

Guy

Oil for weapons will play a huge role and that we won't fail.

torkaka: I'll pretend you didn't just type this!

Don't pretend

Guy

Google why Hitler never invaded Switzerland.

If every Igbo is armed like the Swiss

We will have more people to guard few places

That also means

More anti-aircraft/ anti- rockets missiles personnels and their weapons.

Making Igbo airspace a death trap for enemy fighter planes and missiles.

Ahuitzotl: [color=#1980BC]…You must not look at this through the lens of an average northerner who knows nothing about warfare tactics and strategy but as a seasoned hausa military planner incharge of a limited supply of men matterials and a very fragile supply line..you want a pathway with the least resistance with option of an invasion of the south east where you run the risk of blunting your thrust thus wasting time,efforts and resources as you become vulnerable to counterattacks and a counter invasion of the North or march just straight to the shores of bar beach with initial resistance already softened up by religious fanatics amongst the yorobars in Illorin, ogbomsho,Ibadam down to ijora...Don't forget uthman dan fodio's dying wish for the quran to be dipped at the Atlantic and not the brackish waters of Niger delta mangroove swamp... [/color]

I think you are wrong

Arewa military planners know that Yorubas will do everything to avoid war out of cowardice

What Arewa will do is to threatened them to allow passage of weapons to the North.

Yorubas sensing that Arewa might invade them and not expecting the Igbos to help them, will concede to Arewa demands by secretly allowing weapons through Odua to avoid the wrath of the Igbos and to appease the Arewas.


So brother

Christian North will be the battle ground and Igbos and ND will support the MB in keeping the war far North as possible.

torkaka: On the contrary, I'm only trying to put the truth to you lot without sentiments, a war between the north and the south west will take a long toll, over stretching both armies and both these regions are aware of that, hence they thread carefully. On the other hand, a war between any of these two and the east(without the east making alliances) will spell doom for the east!!

You can all beat your chest, but you can't change the sitting duck geographical location of the east!!

Again I say

You know little to nothing on military tactics and strategies.

Btw Germany and Russia who had the upper hand before the winter and allied support came.?

Why was Hitler scared to invade Switzerland but bold to attack Russia and Britain.?

What happened to almighty US in Vietnam and Russia in Afghanistan.?

Why can't giant India overrun Pakistan.?

What happened to China in Vietnam.?


Guy stop thinking that huge large area of land will help you in a conventional war

It do help in guerrilla warfare but never conventional warfare

I repeat

If every Igbo is armed both old and young male and female just like Switzerland

We will have few places to guard and more troops to guard them

300 Spartans would be replayed on our boundary or

Better still imagine

30 000 Spartans on that narrow strip of land.

torkaka: Again, this is not 1967!! Continue to live in the illusion that in the event of a break up northern Nigeria will be weak militarily. I hope you are following events in south sudan!

I like your foolish doggedness

If the Nigeria with all her foreign help lost about 500 000 soldiers against an almost unarmed Biafra,

What chance do you think Arewa stand against a well armed Biafran supported by former allies of Arewa.

IGBOSON1: ^^^You really need to go visit a shrink to get your fears in check! This is a tread with many sides arguing one way or the other, yet you zero in on Igbos!

You say you're Ijaw abi?

I've told you i know what your game plan is.....you and all the other alternate monikers you use! ALL ethnicities in the old Eastern Region will continue to move on with a commonality of purpose; and hopefully one day extricate ourselves from this 'mere geographical expression you shamelessly cling on to for whatever reason! This is what keeps you awake at night.....this is your fear innit?

Pathetic animal!

Next time do not reply him in order to help him see how childish he is.


Don't forget most people like him are Yorubas pretending to be Ijaws. Thinking that their silly tactics will drive a wedge btw Ijaws and the Igbos.

The other day Barcanistan the fake Ijaw boy declared that he is for APC.

Nnwane ask yourself, can a true Ijaw boy betray GEJ after seeing how the enemies of GEJ have tried and are still trying to derail GEJ.

GEJ TILL 2019

Yujin: I surely will come back to this interesting thread when I'm chanced. But let me pen down some points to enable us analyse better.
My points are based on the core north being the aggressors.
What actually will be their target?
1. Access to the sea only? Yorubaland will be the likely route.
2. Access to oil and the sea? Igboland and the ND will be the likely route.
3. Arable and mineral rich lands? The MB will be their aim.
Point number 2 seems to be the most difficult for obvious reasons- more population and a viciously lethal enemy to face.
More to come.

How south


The guy no know anything

He think sey we be moi moi


When kasala go burst


He go know sey


Igbos are part of the lions of Africa.

We need to pray

torkaka: Oh please don't even try to be intelligent, aint you the dude from the concrete wall fortification fame??
Blind optimism here is when one thinks a city like state (yes, that's in reference to the 5 eastern states) will churn out military defenses like isreal when faced with an attack based on military equipment and foreign help, all fantasized, as against the reality of a clear route from which the attack will come from.
When war breaks, it will not be biafra vs nigeria, it will be several nations angling for survival. Those that will survive are those who will know the strenghts of their enemies and the weakness of themselves. Clearly, you and the other loud mouths here don't know this. Alliances are formed, not because of military weakness but because of strategic location.
Fact is, western Nigeria is large, northern Nigeria is large. Attacking any of these places means overstretching yourself (for you will attack on many fronts), northerners are not as stupid as you think, they know this and they won't waste any resources coming through benue or Taraba which will give them hiccups on the way. Their battle will be against the city state called biafra.
Like I said earlier, the border between cameroon and benue will play and all important role during the conflict, it is not numbers or loud mouthing that win a war, but surely location plays a vital role!!
When and if the war starts, let it start before you start l.icking arsz

Kogi Benue Taraba are states you must pass through before approaching Biafra.

Now according to you analysis, Arewas would avoid Benue-Taraba. Meaning that they would invade Biafra through Kogi.

Questions you need to ask yourself is

1) Will Biafrans and ND stand by and watch Kogi fall when they know they are the main targets.

2) Will people of Benue-Taraba do nothing as they find themselves encircled.


Think my friend


SE SS MB People are not that stupid

Hmmmmmmmm

APC doing what they know best

Fashola lagos explosion " Gas explosion "

Rochas kicked them out " Identity card "

Amaechi let's see what action he will take



And you see that post up mine


Trash Trash Trash

IdomaLikita: Dear Sir,
I share your Insecurities! For like you, I am a Middlebelter! I cringe at the Consequences of a Violent Break-Up and, I appreciate the Humanitarian Challenges awaiting us in event of such!
But the Essence of the Thread is to Discuss our Worst Fears in the Open so that people may hear them and ponder upon them!
But if u choose to behave like several other Middle-Belters I've interacted with who choose Blind Optimism over informed Pragmatism, then I'm afraid we are not making progress!
I feel the Pang too when I see a Higher Female Literacy Rate, Standard of Living, Life Expectancy, Low Maternal Mortality, etc few kilometers southwards, but hey! They earned it! If you're covered with Shit, the 1st thing you gotta do is take a Bath!

Optimism is good when it acknowledges the reality on ground and prepares to face them.

Brother you have tried and I know you will keep trying

Just pray God place you in a position you can help save the situation before trouble erupts.

rigarmortis: You see, this is the reason i dont encourage mass sale of weed, i love weed like the average dude, i indulge from time to time, but sellers should be careful who they sell to, not everyone enjoys the high in peace.

Some take a few puffs and they come up with wild ideas, like mr OP, or they start to "reason ahead" like a particular poster here, some even turn into prophets of doom while others turn into seasoned and excellent military tacticians from their usual timid and humble sh1t eating grin faced nature.

I say no more indiscriminate selling of ganja in university premises......

No more

Federal Ministry of Health warns that weeds can make you go crazy

torkaka: Why should the MB go to save them? What was fedora hat man elected for??

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Shutup you guys lack manpower

There is Civilian JTF


Why not deploy MB boys to help out as patriotic citizens.

kettykin: Do you think igbos will fight with much human soldiers or will refine some of the war technology like the ogbunigwe, rocket launchers etc

Population and Technology we will deploy

torkaka: Chief, face the harsh reality, the location of the igbo states makes the region a sitting duck!!

More than any other group, they need alliances!! Don't for a second be deceived by the concrete fortification LOL

One thing that gives me joy is that your fellow MBs are reading my viewpoint and are not opposing but some telling you to rethink

May I ask you

How many chibok christians have order MB tribes gone to save.

May I ask you

How many chibok christians have other MB tribes gone to save.

What are you saying

Pls make yourself clear.

torkaka: Fortified concrete buildings?? Are you for real??

Let me place reality for you, if at all Nigeria turns to a war zone, kogi and kwara like the op said will be the first focus of the war. The north for obvious reasons will be the aggressor, the west will not be their priority as taking on the west will over stretch them,neither will attacking from taraba will not be viable as it would make no economic scense. Certain elements in kogi will naturally align with the north (I.e nupe, bassa and to an extent igbira), when the battle of kogi is over (which will definitely fall to the north) setting up rocket launchers will be as easy as the ukrainian rebels bringing down the malaysian plane.

Ground troops will not even set foot in the east for it to fall, I hope you all are watching what is happening in the middle east?

Whereas the north has only one central target location when attacking the east (the 5 states are jam packed), attacking the northen cities is a different ball game!!

Eastern Nigeria (igbo states) as viable as it may seem, is a sitting duck as far as mordern warfare is concerned.

Chairman, a fortified state in war is not one with concrete buildings, but one which is difficult to logistically to attack.

When the MB is attack the women and children will flee south into Igboland.

That will stirr the Igbos to take up arms and keep the war as far North as possible.

Now imagine what will happen if Igbos raise 10 million soldiers comprising them and other Southern groups who knows that their survival defends on winning the war.

Son face reality

That army will keep the war as far North as possible and push back the invading horde if it goes offensive.

tit: The middle belt groups would unite to ward off any jihad in their land.
They may lose ground initially but as they build alliances, they will recover.
Places like southern borno and southern kaduna would be sparsely inhabited.
Roving bands of men from both sides would decimate any opposing ethnicities they find there.

May I ask you


How many Berom villages were protected by Tivs and vice versa

How many Borno Christian villages are protected by MB tribes.

Lady you need manpower and cohension in this war which can be readily found in the South.

Lady

You guys will be fighting an armada of African desert tribes trying to escape sahara desert.

Those guys are huge.

Remember that those fulanis who attacked Benue were not the usual fulanis as stated by Benue governor.

tit: what did you smoke before you made this post?

Lady

Igbos are not technologically backward as your people

What do you think a people who were the first black africans to refine crude oil when the europeans were saying it will take us 500 yrs to know it, would do if they find themselves in such similar position


I don't know your tribe but never compare their technological backwardness with Igbo love for invention and production.
