Mercenaries are quite normal in wars. Even the United States of America employ Mercenaries to assist them in War.

Fact is that Igbos on their own created a lot of thibgs to assist themselves during the war because most things were in short supply and after the blockade, Things got even tighter for them.

Igbos are still building a lot of thingson their own today come to camp in enugu, go to Obosi in Anambra and visit Aba, u will witness the ingenuity of the igbos first hand.

Of course mercenaries for hire is standard practice in war so I don't get why some ignorant dolts on this forum keep saying there was no external help on the Biafra side,even the Almighty US military acknowledged Blackwater mercenaries in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Fact is Igbo's created a lot of things during the war not out of foresight but the need to stay alive as they say necessity is the mother of inventions and its not peculiar to the Nigerian civil war,Duct tape and Microwave oven were invented by Americans during the WW2 and even the internet we now all enjoy was invented by an American during the Soviet-US cold war and this are real inventions and not just weapon fabrication by Biafrans.

Igbos are still building things on their own today so as Yoruba's,Hausa's,hutus,Zulus,Hindus,Asians,are also building theirs so its not peculiar to any tribe neither do I have to visit one yeye camp somewhere to see anything if they have actually produced anything breathtaking and worth its salt as I believe u didn't have to visit Palo alto before u started using Facebook that mark created,the world is now a global village and if their ingenuity produced anything worth its salt the whole world would be informed.

TundeBricklayer:
And you are not ashamed that Nigeria troops comprises of North, Middle Belt, West, Egyptian air force, British military, USSR and others, for three years find it difficult to conquer East, this was a war Nigeria government boasted that they will run over east within three weeks It took them three years, they had to use food blockade to force them to surrender.And you what me not to be proud of our Biafra heroes. And same region they fought destroyed their land and properties are now the least in poverty in Nigeria, leading in commerce, industrious, innovative, and education and those areas that didn't experience war are today dying in penury and backwardness.

I'm not ashamed that Nigerian troops who boasts of having the highest peace keeping operations in Africa is getting help from allies after all one good turn deserves another,you to too ignorant to have an idea of International diplomacy and politics,why am I not surprised since u are a brick layer anyway, it doesn't matter how long it took contrary to expectation since they came out victorious anyway.

All is fair in love and war so a food blockade is standard practice in war all over the world,and in saner climes like Japan for example your supposed heroes would honorably commit suicide than be losers who are now your supposed heroes,nothing surprises me anymore after the heroic welcome of the cross dressing fugitive general.

Its good news to hear that the region is now the least in poverty and leading in every imaginable field of life but when I checked the statistics and indices of the region on ground it looked just a tad better better than South Sudan,charity they say begins at home or is it the other way round in the region?

Westbestside:
They will not talk about that, these people are ingrates.

Can u imagine,they don't mind turning history upside down just to satisy their selfish illusions.

TundeBricklayer:
Nigeria got external help from UK, Soviet Union, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Ethiopia, Syrian, Bulgaria and Egypt supported them with Air power.

Absolutely because they obviously had a bigger stash of cash and better diplomatic connections.

TundeBricklayer:
Your post doesn't really make sense, from your post he never claim to assist Biafra to manufacture weapons.

The Engineering Feat of Defunct Biafran Research and Production Group (RAP)

The Red devil and Genocide Armoured tanks, and the Ogbunigwe bombs are some of the greatest indigenous military engineering that has come out from Nigeria and the Biafran Research and Production group (RAP) is the greatest indigenous research, development and production organisation ever established in Nigeria.

They Red devil, Genocide, and Ogbunigwe are war weapons that were locally fabricated by RAP of the then Biafran Republic during the Nigerian civil war also known as the Biafran war (July 6, 1967 – January 15, 1970), a war the Nigerian government fought against Biafra to counter Biafra’s secession from the Republic of Nigeria.

Biafran Research and Production group (RAP)

Biafran army started the war with just reconditioned Mauser bolt-action rifle, supported by small quantities of machine-pistols, sub-machine guns, light and heavy machine guns, and pistols. Mortar barrels and bombs, artillery pieces and shells.

The duty of making weapons and other machines needed to win the war was assigned to RAP. The RAP group led by the renowned Professor Gordian Ezekwe was comprised of men and women with scientific and technological background, formal and informal, who invested their devotion and patriotism to conduct research and fabricate essential material for the prosecution of the war. They were saddled with the task of technological innovation, copy technological creativity and improvisation under extreme privation.

The members of the RAP were teachers from the Universities, Colleges of Technology and Secondary Schools; research scientists from research and technical establishments; scientists, technologists, and craftsmen from various public services, such as Railways, Ports Authority, Electricity Corporation, Petroleum Refinery and Geological Surveys; engineers and technicians from the private sector such as Shell BP, United Africa Company (UAC) etc; and ordinary artisans, craftsmen and mechanics.

In the beginning of the war members of the RAP group operated as two distinct independent groups – the Enugu Group and the Port Harcourt group. The Enugu group was dominated by university scientist from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) and the Port Harcourt Group was led by engineers and technicians from Shell-BP and other industrial establishments around Port Harcourt. The group came together when Enugu fell to the Nigerian army.

The Biafran Red Devil Amoured Vehicles

RAP fabricated armoured vehicles nicknamed the Biafran Red Devil and Genocide from agricultural tractors, bulldozers and harvesters. The Red Devil were fabricated to suit operational difficulties – types A1-A5, B, C, and D, but the armoured vehicles could not endure the heavy stresses and strains needed for a challenging military operation demanded in warfare. According to Professor Kalu Uka of the University of Uyo in an interview, they lacked speed and suffered frequently from overheating.

Mr Bricklayer pls take your time out to wash your shovel and headpan and take a rest cos I guess your eyes or perhaps your brain is doing tricks on you,here is what he posted

Russia is helping Assad with air support.
Yet one idiot on nairaland believe France somehow helped biafra and even when there was virtually no sophisticated air support in biafrsa to suggest the input of a super power.

Pls save your self the stress of replying with those pictures cos it's nothing to be proud of since Biafra troops were defeated anyway,beside most of it was supplied and not made by Biafra except for the oganigwe or whatever its called(sorry for the misspell) which only a homo erectus blacksmith would be proud of.

kutchs:
You keep running around in circles confusing yourself.
The Igbo have never argued that all the fought with during the war they manufactured. They have never denied external help. It's obvious there were some level of assistance from France before the blockade but what you can't deny is that they out of necessity produce locally to supplement the little coming from outside.

It's unfortunate you have never been to the Museum or Ojukwu Bunker in umuahia and have no desire to. That's the problem with most Nigerians. They think the world start and end with the little coccon they build around themselves. Go to Umuahia and see for yourself the great innovations of Biafra.

Seek knowledge that will dispel your ignorance, it may be expensive but it's worth it.

Dude u are not only running around in a vicious circle but also shooting yourself in the foot,here
are your earlier rants cos it looks like your memory isn't that retentive afterall


"Russia is helping Assad with air support.
Yet one idiot on nairaland believe France somehow helped biafra and even when there was virtually no sophisticated air support in biafrsa to suggest the input of a super power"

Are u Bi-polar or u just want to keep shifting the goal post to whatever rocks your boat,u just said there was no input of any super power because there was no air support and I rightly put it across to u that they was actually input from France and now with facts staring at you in the face u decide to eat your rants that there was some help after all,I'm sure if u were at the war front then u wouldnt have called whatever support u get some with sharpnel flying all over u.

It doesn't look like u are a very stable person anyway and there is absolutely nothing in Umuahia that irks my fancy to take a trip there as I have vacation goals of way better places to spend my valuable time at.

My grouse with folks like u is that u never seek knowledge and when u even get lucky to have some with facts staring at u right in the face u would rather bury ur head in the sand and continue with your ignorant illusions.

Fact is Biafra got external help from France with military hardware and boots on ground but met their waterloo in the hands Nigerian forces.

Kiss the truth.

CSTR1005:
There is nothing in the war museum in aba that speaks of French technology.

So where are you getting your story from?

You and the idiot are even disagreeing with yourselves.

If France supported biafra, it was nothing beyond mere "watch and see" posture, unlike other world powers that actively supported Nigeria.
They couldn't even stop Cameroon from closing their border to aid.
Is that what you call French support?



You claim that France is different from Russia, then how come are you also claiming that france supported biafra since they don't have the same policy as Russia?.

Do you even know the meaning of support.?
Do you make sense to you?

In 1967, while living in Paris, he made contact with former colleague Roger Faulques, who was organizing a mercenary unit for the newly independent Republic of Biafra. Steiner flew to Port Harcourt via Lisbon, Portugal and enlisted into the Biafran army as a company commander. Steiner had success in the field, and was given the responsibility of organizing the 4th Biafran Commando Brigade as a lieutenant colonel. The first three brigades actually didn't exist; the army created this bit of disinformation to confuse the Nigerian Federal forces. Steiner used a skull and crossbones as his regimental symbol, which he thought would constantly remind his troops of the risks inherent to war, rather than any reference to the pirates' Jolly Roger or the Nazi SS. Steiner found the Biafrans to be quick learners and highly motivated. On May 25, 1968, they led a successful mission against a Federal Nigerian air field in Enugu, destroying six Russian-made bomber and fighter aircraft. Steiner, far from being a mercenary, fought for the Biafrans without pay, serving long after most other European soldiers of fortune had left the cause.

Steiner's guerilla warfare skills served the Biafran cause far better than the conventional warfare training most of the other commanders had received at Sandhurst. Unfortunately, following several confrontations with his Biafran colleagues, Steiner resigned from service, was then arrested, and expelled from the country in handcuffs.[1] According to Frederick Forsyth this happened at the stipulation of Forsyth himself, as Forsyth had found out that Steiner was spreading rumours that Forsyth was an agent of MI6 - which was the truth [1]

Like I said earlier I watched a documentary and they were French mercenaries on ground during the Biafra war,I have never been to the Aba museum nor do I care to but from the pictures online,most of the gear was definitely imported except u have proof that all the gear was manufactured by indigenous Biafrans during the war.

Here is a picture of Rolf Steiner and he was the commander of the Biafra elite troops and guess what he is a French-Biafran,this is just one of the many proofs to enlighten ignorant minds like you.

There are actually documentaries I have watched and I can confirm that the supposed idiot is right,France helped Biafra and as well had boots on ground as instructors during the war,France is different from Russia so they have different foreign policies,in International arms trade u only get what u can afford and I guess it might not be affordable for Biafra then.

Gaddafithe2nd:
If you don't believe in God that is your problem, moreover God is not my daddy. Back to the issue ,he(Ebuehi) won't do anything, I repeat it. Messi and the likes will dribble his life, the same Ebuehi that caused the penalty against Iceland. Even before Ebuehi was introduced against Iceland, the gamed had already changed, our attackers were already having an attempt on goals not like the first half that was dry. Had it been Sigurdsson had scored the penalty that Ebuehi caused with his inexperience, you won't be making this comment. We always want to look for who to blame, Argentina dominated the game, we had our own chances that would have sealed the game and fire us to the next round. I repeat Ebuehi won't do nada. Rohr has said it all, he is young he needs more experience that is what would make him a better player.

I KNEW it that u would refer to the penalty and u didn't disappoint,we can all agree that there has been so many controversial penalties and penalty denials in this ongoing WC and that was just one of them,if that subtle tackle can be a penalty then I think Senegal equally deserved a penalty against Colombia yesterday,compare it to Mandzukic penalty against King Kong and tell me who is more inexperienced,no player is immune to dribbles and u guys that dribbled Messi how many points did that fetch u,he was brought in at the beginning of the 2nd half and that's when things changed contrary to your he will do nada rants,if Rohr had made the right changes at the right time,the result might just have been different,only ignorant folks like u take everything Rohr says seriously,at least not anymore with present result.

Gaddafithe2nd:
If he had started Ebuehi, I swear to God Argentina will score more than 2 goals, that guy is not good defensively. The coach knows better than us. Despite not using Ebuehi we had more chances, we should blame Ighalo and Ihenacho that never utilised their chances.

Who cares whatever daddy in the sky u want to swear to,I guess u folks like to mention the word in the most petty things imaginable,all that matters here is the stats,compare the stats in the first half vs ISL to the second half and u will know he is damn defensive,the coach should have brought him in immediate after we scored the penalty if not for his pace at least to kill time,besides we obviously needed fresh legs cos fatigue was already setting in,I wouldn't blame anyone as it is what it is,but Ebeuehi would have sure made a lot if difference as well as a few other fresh legs in the last 25 mins of the match at least.

Immediately I saw the line up vs ARG without Ebuehi in the pic then I instantly knew the Coach wasn't ready for a win in the game,we all saw how he changed the game when the moment he came on at the second half vs ISL,any sane coach would put that boy in the pitch at the start of the second half max,sometimes it baffles me, is Rohr shagging any of the average players(not to mention names) he keeps fielding after their poor results, I'm not a soccer guru or anything but that's just my humble opinion.

Explorers:
Yes, you're right.


The Russians will be sleeping when the f-22s are approaching their airspace.

You still need to listen to the president's speech. If you have done that, you will know better. You are been pranked by the opposition.

Save yourself the stress of writing jargons and give me an A,B,C or D answer thanks.

Wealthandjobs:
I am sure that you know what I am complaining about sir. The president never used the word Lazy,he was lamenting about the economy and guys like you are still not humble enough to admit that you are being manipulated by looters.

There is a a boy his name is wealthandjobs he has never been to school,and he does nothing but wait for the government to provide him housing healthcare etc,highlight what type of behavior is that

Your inability to read and comprehend is a reflection of your own ignorance.

Your example was about water infrastructure which they have in Nigeria also. We have water infrastructures in Lagos State also, but it doesn't mean you get free water from LASG.

You haven't left your village because California doesn't give you Free water. Every home owner in California pays water bills.



Please confine your ignorance to your fellow villagers.

Whenever I see quotes been crossed out with lines,all I see is nothing but a loser who would rather take the escape from reality mode after been boxed into a corner.

My example is that there is no comparism whatsoever because Nigeria as well as lagos State has a failed or totally non existent water infrastructure system and can't be compared with California in any way,these are parallel lines that can't meet at least for now,do u even have an idea of the size of California and its environmental challenges, I can bet the amount of water the fire department uses to control wildfires in California would go round at least half the population of Lagos state,you obviously have no inkling of an idea of whats up in the golden state.

I never said the government should provide water for free I guess u pulled that right out of your stinky wrinkled bums.

deomelllo:
Reading and comprehension failed you again, I said they don't provide electricity and water and in cases where they do provide municipal wat, you still have to pay, you don't get it free of charge. Even in Lagos state, you still have to pay for water and your DISCO doesn't give you free electricity, you pay for it, so, your general argument about the government providing such basics was false and ill-informed.

You are a little misguided per your California example, I lived in California for several years and I paid for every drop of water I used regardless the source, private or municipal. The fact that they built water infrastructures doesn't mean the general public get free water, they don't, they pay for every drop they use.

You haven't left your village and you are making silly claims about places you know nothing about?



I see you latched on to water and conveniently and deceptively ignored your electricity claim.

Dude save yourself the stress of typing all this jargons as u clearly need help cos it really looks like u are suffering from selective amnesia, quit this dancing around and stop shifting the goalpost

Here was your reply that I quoted


Obviously, you've never been out of Nigeria before, governments doesn't provide electricity and water and in the case [/b]of municipal water/Non privatized, you pay for it

@ the bolded i gave u a verifiable fact to counter your opinion,in saner climes the government has the responsibility to provide basic amenities such as electricity and water with this
[b]
In the 1930s, the federal government got involved, building the Central Valley Project (CVP) to support the arid but fertile Central Valley and its agricultural economy. Built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the CVP transports water from Lake Shasta in the north to Bakersfield in the southern San Joaquin Valley.

As I wrote that's its a case study if u have any idea what that means and I'm not latching up to water but giving u verifiable facts to counter your ignorant rants and instead of u to learn u decide to dance around,I never said in any of my post that the government should provide this amenities for free so that must be a figment of your ignorant imagination.

Dude you are obviously the village lad and when it comes to California state that I know too well, I will school u and take u to the cleaners so pls just don't go there.

Anyway I think I have made myself clear enough in the most elementary way for your single digit cerebral capacity to discern.

deomelllo:
Obviously, you've never been out of Nigeria before, governments doesn't provide electricity and water and in the case of municipal water/Non privatized, you pay for it.

Where did this one germinate from,you too want to feel among shey,u are talking from both sides of the mouth you said governments do not provide water and u still come around to talk about municipal water,municipal provinces is equivalent to state governments in Nigeria so u shot yourself in to foot with that,I also never said it should be provided by government free of charge so your basis for argument is flawed.

However I still maintain that it is the responsibility of government at least in saner climes to provide water.

California state as a case study

Central Valley Project

In the 1930s, the federal government got involved, building the Central Valley Project (CVP) to support the arid but fertile Central Valley and its agricultural economy. Built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the CVP transports water from Lake Shasta in the north to Bakersfield in the southern San Joaquin Valley.

State Water Project

California’s State Water Project (SWP) was constructed in the 1960s and 1970s to supply water to more than 25 million people and about a million acres of farmland. Planned, constructed,and operated by DWR, it is one of the world’s most extensive systems of dams, reservoirs, power plants, pumping plants and aqueducts and remains key to California’s economy. The Edmonston Pumping Plant, south of the Tehachapi Mountains, pumps water 1,926 feet up and over the ridge into Southern California, making it the world’s tallest water lift.


In a bid to feel among like some janded guy u made a compete fool of yourself and a brazen display of ignorance, next time use that thing between us ears before u quote me ever again.

Proudlyngwa:
You really have a lot to understand.

Governance has gone beyond that stage, quite alright we have welfare states and the rest.
Currently Nigeria style of Government is geared towards making of policies, monitoring those implementing those policies and provision of certain infrastructure which should not be paid for.
In other words, we are to make policies for the provision of water, but give the licences out for companies to provide it then monitor them.
As far as ministries and parastatals manage this things, and receive their salary at the end of the day, irrespective of what they turn in, you will have non functional systems.
So they best thing is to hand it over to the private see while monitoring it.

Dude can't u just learn and save yourself the stress of writing plenty jargons,so Mr current affairs can you highlight the policy of the Nigerian government for us pls.

If the government is only interested in policies then they should stop collecting tax,as collection of tax will be counter productive.

Have u ever been out of Nigeria ever before like for real because in saner climes the government provides such basic amenities like electricity and water,I have no idea why Nigeria should be an exception, its lowlifes like u that find excuses for this incompetent politicians and u sure are one of the very lazy ones intellectually.

Proudlyngwa:
The government is meant to make policies on the provision of most of this things.
Once it turns to a revenue generating venture, it should be concessed.
Government maintaining most of this infrastructure is why things don't work down here.

I hope too much garri isn't growing cataracts for your eyes or can't u just read what I just posted,did u see anything like policy or u just too dumb to read

One of the first references to adequate housing can be found in the United Nations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948. Article 25 (1) of The Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, states, “Everyone has the right to a standard of
living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including
food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services..” (UN, 1949).
Though there was no use of the specific term „adequate housing‟, but in spirit
adequate housing, safe and adequate water for drinking and other domestic uses, and
proper sanitation facilities were considered important elements of the right to
adequate standard of living. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and
Cultural Rights (ICESCR), 1966, which is the monitoring body for the
implementation of economic, social and cultural rights, recognises adequate housing
as part of the right to an adequate standard of living. The Committee in its Article
11.1 says, “The right of everyone to an adequate standard of living for himself and his
family, including adequate food, clothing and housing, and to the continuous
improvement of living conditions” (UN 2009, p. 11).
Provision of safe and sufficient water and sanitation is an important and integral part
of adequate housing. In 2002, the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights adopted its General Comment No. 15 on the right to water. The
Committee underlined that the right to water was part of the right to an adequate
standard of living, as were the rights to adequate food, housing and clothing (UN
2010, p. 4). Right to water and sanitation are also recognised independently as basic
human rights. The United Nations General Assembly on 28th July 2010 adopted a
resolution recognising the human right to water and sanitation.

Proudlyngwa:
That is what you people don't understand, Government has passed providing water and electricity for you, that now should be the job of the private sector.
The job of government should be regulating it.

Oh really how cool,so we are only paying taxes for him to travel abroad and call us demeaning names,unfortunately your opinion is only a village market square opinion

Here is what the UN says....

Next time before u quote me remember there is something between your ears,kindly make use of it.

Proudlyngwa:
Unfortunately madam, he was saying the truth.
Like I said in another thread, the problem is most people look at this country from the city perspective.

You need to enter the slums, creeks and deep villages to have another view.

When we have as much as a million people with a wrong view of life, that is a very huge number, unfortunately the number is even more, am a field worker and have been to over 60 riverine communities as well as many communities in the core North and I can tell you we have a bigger problem than the president portrayed.

Identifying the problem is one thing, will power to work on it is another.

Unfortunately but bitterly the president was right.

Ignorant dolts like u won't cease to amaze me,trying to defend the indefensible is making u look like a village nincompoop, have u ever heard of the word diplomatic relations,heck even an Ambassador dare not say such to the international community not to talk of the president,he needs to take a crash course in PR ASAP, its the height of been unpatriotic.

Unfortunately his government hasn't been able to provide ordinary portable water or electricity for the populace and he is saying some people are waiting for freebies,if I might ask what freebies,cos I haven't seen anyone that the government has provided housing for so far so good.

Only an irresponsible president will say such because its his responsibility to provide the basic amenities,what gives him the right to call tax payers lazy,he is only been delusional and living in a bubble just like u.

Techcrunchng:
for your mind you are exceptional, tell us your occupation, maybe your father does everything for you; in terms of finance that's the reason you had time to write up this trash. Fool! When someone is fortunate in life he thinks others are lazy and don't want to work. Animal!

He is a village nincompoop and a market square jester who is living in a bubble and been delusional like his paymaster
