God forbid that this useless country is all nndigbo have. What type of statement is that? The country is not even ours in the first place. We are just forced in here.

Calm down and breath the harmattan has started and the weather is lovely go outside and enjoy it

pazienza:
You can keep telling yourself that. But the truth is that the pain and anger of Biafra is one every Igbo bear.
There is no rebuilding between Ndiigbo and Nigerians now or in the future.
We will continue to push to be separated from Nigerians.

You do realize you are one person right?

You are saying we like you speak for your street even

It's funny but I respect your view but disagree totally

Xavfra:
I've actually made a little thread about it though....



Since I was young I've been lucky to see these pictures....but I never felt so touched till a certain time I watched a video about the war and I saw the terrible effects .....
Well, I cried .....and I told myself that there's simply no God ....
Because I know even if it's only a grain of rice my mom has, she'll sacrifice and let me eat it why she starves till whenever she gets food....same with my dad....
But why can't a god who's said to be loving and all caring take care of those he called his children....huh!....
Even if he wanted to punish those people at least he could have let the only the adults suffer but not the little children ....okay see those little children with bloated stomachs suffering from kwashiorkor......
Mehn!!!
It's a really crazy stuff I hate to talk about....
The excuse a colleague of mine said was that God punished them cos they were worshipping idols.....omo I wan mad....life TF was he saying.....

If I were to continue we would derail this thread all I can say is go through all my posts in the religion section I have addressed all the answers you seek

Xavfra:
Bro I get you....

I would prefer a United Nigeria but you cannot go to a party without a gun when you know other attendees will be armed .....

We cannot have 2 systems in one country....some people see themselves as God over others

All that is passing away naturally. You need to read my threads for more spiritual enlightenment.

Every thing passes through 3 stages in life , birth maturity and death . Everything follows these spiritual laws. All empires rose , matured and fell. The roman , carthage, greek , Armenian, british , the fulani is next .

If I had told you 15 years ago the Arab spring was possible you would have said never arabs obey islam to death. But it happened. The change will sweep across Nigeria soonest but we won't divide. A change will come in the form of protest not planned but it will sweep across Nigeria following the natural course of things and the tribes lower will rise and lead Nigeria to a new height .

A new Nigeria will be born , where the child of a nobody can be some body .

All will change anew and the Nigeria you dreamt of would be a reality

Xavfra:
The SUPREME pillar of my disbelief in any supreme being or God or whatever people call it

Care to share more ? I am in the middle of something but please do tell , I want to hear your perspective.

Xavfra:
Which separation isn't the best huh!....
Rather you should preach peace and not saying separation isn't the best

If only you know the opportunities we have if united.

Don't let there selfish politicians remove the beauty of this great Nation from you're eye. Or all those blind supporters typing our darling daddy president annoy you.

Just look beyond the noise and see Nigeria for it's greatness.

mekysmart123:
You are highly naive. That is the only word I will use to qualify you.
How do you explain a country that negotiate with terrorist, and hope that country will ever get better?
A country that a whole General falls to the bullets of terrorist, you think, its a joke. bro, chill.

Bro stupider things have happened here. Is it not here we give ghana power supply 24 hrs and we don't have the same? Niger too. Look everything has to get really 3bad before it gets better.

We are at that stage now it's about to get better my man

This year will be awesome for us
Mark it

pazienza:
The pictures only shows me what our enemies are capable of, what they had done in the past, what they are planning to do in the future, and why we must fight tooth and nail to raise a national boundary between us and them to keep their hate at bay.
The only regret this picture evokes in an Igbo, is the regret that we have not been able to make those who put us through those experiences pay for it, we have not been be able to exact our own pound of flesh.

Seeing those pics reminds us why We MUST work harder to put ourselves in a position where those who brought such sufferings to our parents, and now dance on their graves, are made to feel a potent dose of their own poison.

That's the only regret these pics evokes in an Igbo. Its a strong feeling of need for REVENGE, to GET EVEN!

Unfortunately you are in the minority

Forget hate bro and let's rebuild together

An eye for an eye and the whole world would be blind sooner or later

mekysmart123:
OP, honestly, at this point in time, you are not doing us good to sharing these pictures. See how Yorubas have already flooded the thread to heap insutls on Igbos. As if the majors that executed a coup did it in the name of Ndibgbos. See how they are already blaming Ojukwu, as if he did not explore means of peaceful existence both home and abroad, before Gowon reneged on all pact agreed, because he had the backing of the Brits.
They will not mention how Gowon fired the first shot at Garkem, and invaded the East, to start the war. But their usual hate for Igbos, will always blind them to heap insults and blame on Igbos.
This image should remain in the archives, and not for a forum as this. God willing, a day will come when this contraption will split, as it is, whether the Brits and those benefiting from it like it or not.

My brother but we have a chance to do better

You don't follow swine into a mud pit to teach it manners. Alot of yorubas here on this thread and also sympathetic the touts are the ones who are pained about ignore them and focus on the reasonable ones

mekysmart123:
Nigeria, currently is a killing field. Are you aware a Commander was shot dead recently in Zamfara? What good has Nigeria done to her citizen?
The country should split in peace, we are not designed to be one, not at all.

Bro this country is all we have , not matter how many years you stay in America your papers will read legal immigrant

This country is what we have so we have to try and fix it

We have no choice

pazienza:
All pictures like this does is to reinforce in the mind of Ndiigbo why republic of Igbo land must be established, lest the sacrifices of or fathers be in vain.
It also increases the hate we have for Nigeria and those enforcing fake citizenry on us.

OP. I don't know your aim of sharing those pics, but the above is only what you will achieve with it.

This is not the aim and maybe you should ask yourself why these pictures would make you feel hate and not regret and more determined never to see another war

AmbaliJ:
Spoken like a true neo-Biafran wannabe. You see, you are free to reject the truth and even label it a lie, perhaps because you have conditioned your heart to reject it. But the truth will remain the truth and constant, regardless.

Please this might be a channel for you to set hundreds of thousands of people straight ignore jibes and please share a link or post materiel here to elighten everyone

cocolacec:
the real victims of the war were the women and children.the male species is a destructive one filled with ego always looking for trouble and destruction when they can make peace.

I couldn't have said it better

My heart just broke seeing these pictures I cried like a baby.

These kids and women suffered heavily for the ego of some selfish men.

The karmic bond is so strong

#Neveragain

mohims:
God bless you bro

And you too my man

AmbaliJ:
That's the unbiased rendition of events that took place in that war dude. Ojukwu wanted the Biafran state to remain at any cost, so much so that he was willing to sacrifice as many igbos as necessary. He realized early on that images of starving and emaciated Biafran kids could be a very powerful propaganda tool, and he maximized it to the fullest, in the hopes that it would shame the Nigerian side into pariah status in the eyes of the world, and hopefully lead to an outcome that would favour the Biafrans. Unfortunately, that strategy failed.

My goodness

Are you sure ? Do you have links I can go read ?

mohims:
May we never experience such again. War is not good

At all my brother

Amen

Aditkd:
I dislike reading or discussing any topic pertaining to the civil war.
Ha! We igbo's lost a lot and even till now we haven't recovered from those losses.
I don't wish us to have to experience any thing of that nature.
When my parents and grandparents recount their experiences and losses that occurred during and after the war I weep.
Please, we can have anything we want without going to war.
My dad still has a pellet from the war inside his leg.
My mum said she was 8 years of age when she saw a woman drowinig her own child because the child refused to stop crying and if nothing was done, that child's cry would have exposed them in the pond they were hiding in.
Just from one pathetic story to another.
Is it Grandparents who forever lament their losses due to the war.
I pray that peace will always reign in our hearts and environs and that love and tolerance will heal all hurts. Blessings evergreen.

Kai

No more ever again

Amen to that

AmbaliJ:
He refused to accept food from the Nigerian side, arguing that the Nigerian government would poison the food. And the food that still managed to enter Biafra from Nigeria was cornered and hoarded by the soldiers (who kept them for themselves and their families) and who refused to share them with the civilians.

When the Nigerian side realized this, it decided that since it was the soldiers that were feeding fat on the humanitarian relief and food, why continue feeding the soldiers so that they can continue fighting a war they can't win, when the food wasn't even getting to those that needed it the most - - the starving Biafran civilians.

No I don't believe this

I refuse to

This cannot be true

What sort of monster would do such ? It is a lie I do not believe this or rather I can't believe this

If this is true do you realize what you are saying ?

Ojukwu was a beast then and monster

HellVictorinho:
Although I am not happy with the government, I don't think war will change them.
The government refers to a group of people who have feelings too.
So,they are ready to fight any relevant threat to their existence as humans by hook or crook.
The desire for separation is not the plan for separation.
Since there is no practicable plan for separation, I don't think it should happen.
If you won't gain anything from war, what's the essence of fighting

Exactly well said my friend

Never again should we fight a war separation is not the solution
