Nzeogwu was an honourable man.

ogoni is no man's land
but na fulani own am, including all the oil wells, so buhary is just protecting his tribal interests

I can't stop laughing

Please tell me this is a nollywood movie

You can't ban Satan

they are not black

and the spirit of human sacrifice for atonement

walexy30:
Why do you people attack anyone who denies being igbo especially the Aniomas? You can't force them to be what they are not.

Have you ever heard an Awori or Egba person denying being Yoruba?

Even Peter denied knowing jesus

Biafra is THE SOLUTION

anulaxad:
This was written all the way back in 1999 before OBJ took leadership of this country.

Haba, you are this wicked to exhume something that is 16 years of age.

Calling you a troublemaker was an understatement. Sanusi obviously does not hold this view any more or has long forgotten about this.

How do you know? Did he tell you his current views?

South West, where else?

lol

Instead of all these people telling us what they are not, they should try telling us what they are

See nigerian army at work

Note that at the end of the war, Biafra handed over Nigerian prisoners of war back to Nigeria, (Including Abdulkareem Adisa whom we captured as early as 1967) but no single Biafran POW was handed back
Nigeria killed everybody

laudate:
Na God I take beg you, stop this hero worship of the Biafran soldiers. All those who lived through the war, had different experiences to share about their interaction with Biafran soldiers.

Not every one saw the Biafran soldiers as professional, because many of those soldiers were untrained, inexperienced men conscripted from the streets and sent to the war front with little or no training.

In fact, here is a description of how the 'professional' Biafran soldiers appeared during their invasion of the Mid-West.

From the "article" you quoted, we can see that a few poorly trained Biafrans were able to overpower highly trained federal troops in Ughelli At no time was there any mention of any atrocities against civilians. Always professional.

abagoro:
You can ask those who lived then to give you undiluted story. Why has Nigerian army not started compulsory conscription since we are at war? You cannot win a war by forcing people to fight against their will and mind you that attitude is one of the act that made Rivers people and other minorities dislike Igbos.

What nigeria does with its army is not my problem
I am not bothered by the hatred of saboteurs

laudate:
Cut the crap! The fact that there was no video recording, does not mean the event did NOT happen! So stop this misguided attempt to paint Biafran soldiers as saints!

If an Igbo was reciting the atrocities he went through in the hands of federal forces on this thread, will you claim his account was not credible because there was no video or eyewitness accounts?

There were eyewitness accounts given about the rough treatment that Biafran soldiers meted out to inhabitants of the old Mid-West who were non-Igbo. Yet, each time such references are made, your internet army shouts it down!

You confuse hearsay with eyewitness account.

laudate:
Hmmn... here comes the defender of the Biafran army!! Your claim that Biafrans never killed anybody for holding contrary views, is totally at variance with what a lot of people experienced during the war, both within Alaigbo and outside it.

Please stop trying to create a halo for the Biafran soldiers, as people lost friends and relatives on both sides, during the war.

So labelling someone else's recall of events, as 'hearsay' is uncomplimentary and nasty. I bet if it was an Igbo family reciting this story, about how the federal forces wanted to kill his grandfather, You would have applauded him!

There were videos and eye witness statements of both locals and foreigners detailing the attrocities of Nigerian soldiers. There was one of the nigerian commanders bragging about how he would shoot civilians and even things that do not move in Igboland. There is none about Biafra except rumours and hearsay.

tbaba1234:
He was not killed because he ran away. If the federal forces did not come, he might have been caught. Your protectors were occupying my town, they were occupiers to me not protectors.

Biafra soldiers did commandeer foodstuffs meant for civilians for instance. Would Biafra soldiers have done better if they captured more territory? We really do not know.

I believe that we need to start moving away from these things and forge a great future. There is no doubt that there are legitimate grievances but we can not and should not develop hate for people for a war that they did not cause. Most Nigerians alive today, did not witness the war.

I can not move on when I am still being treated as if I am an enemy in my supposed country. I cannot forget the millions of my brethren that died for freedom. I may not have witnessed the war but I am living the consequences. My ancestors that fought just that I might be free and proud are insulted daily in the zoo and you want me to forget and build? Mbanu.
I am tired of you guys and your foreign-made country. I want out.

laudate:
Thanks for telling it the way it is, jare!

because he was there?

abagoro:
Biafrans were tyranical. My grandfather had most of his male children hidden except the few that voluntarily went to war. At least 1 in 3 of Biafran soldiers were forcefully recruited and taken to war front while most of those that refused were killed. Any elder who held a contrary view to Ojukwu and his fellows were tagged "sabo" and killed by the Biafrans. This happened everywhere from Benin to Calabar to Rivers and even in the heart of Igboland. It is no different from the way the present day agitators are calling Okorocha, Amaechi and Kachikwu traitors for either supporting or working with Buhari.

The bolded is simply sabotage. In any country at war where conscription is compulsory, hiding is treason punishable by death. There is no such thing as forceful recruitment. You were required to fight and you must. Army is not democracy.
The rest of your story is just hearsay. Biafrans never killed anybody for holding contrary views however if you start saying treasonable words in front of soldiers, don't complain if they treat you as a traitor.
Biafra was great.

tbaba1234:
Get over myself Na wa oh!!

I simply told a story. He was not a soldier. He was a regular man who could have been killed for his tribal affiliations.

I have no problem with the biafran soldiers. There is nothing to get over.

He could have ben killed but he was not. My own people were killed in their thousands just for their tribal affiliations. So when you describe the defeat of our protectors by foreigners as "fortunate", permit me to take offence.

Biafran soldiers were gallant. Biafran soldiers were highly moral and very professional. Unfortunately those that crossed to your side were led by a chief sabo and offspring of cowardice called Banjo. Turn your frustrations westwards.

An Algerian groom took his bride to court just a day after their marriage, accusing her of not looking as pretty as before the wedding and of cheating him with much make-up.

The groom, who is seeking $20,000 damages, told court in the capital Algiers that he was shocked when he got up in the next morning and found that his wife looked so different, that he could not recognise her.

Newspapers in the North African Arab country said the groom swore in court that he even mistook his wife for a “thief who came to steal his apartment".

“The groom told the judge that he could not recognise his wife after she washed the make-up off her face.

"He said he was deceived by her as she used to fill up her face with make up before their marriage,” the papers said, quoting a court source.

“He said she looked very beautiful and attractive before marriage, but when he woke up in the morning and found that she had washed the make-up off her face, he was frightened as he thought she was a thief.

"The groom told court that he is demanding $20,000 damages for his psychological suffering.”

tbaba1234:
He had northern blood..

So a probable enemy. They did the right thing to look for him. It was war. He survived. Get over yourself.

tbaba1234:
Biafra soldiers took over my village in Edo state and imposed a curfew. My grandfather hid in the bushes when they came looking for him.

Fortunately, they were driven out by federal forces.

Was your grandfather a sabo?

wadetaw202:
and now, you are too scared to leave again, abi? because of the fear of what we will do to you? Where is that make-believe igbo strenght again? How did you become like bunch of teenagers afraid of spiders.

A scared people doesn't go and buy up land and live in the enemy's land. It simply shows we are not scared of the zoo and its semi-intelligent inhabitants.

wadetaw202:
leave first now! Eediotic wailer! Empty barrel!

We did and you almost choked. Then Britain came to your rescue.

the zoo

wadetaw202:
ibos are very useless people sha! Few days ago when one of your thoughtless blodas made a post about nigerian army's atrocities, you were all wailing as if you were d only victims of d war. But now that evidences of your civil war evils are coming out, you are in support of murder. You love it when yout broda commit murder, but you hate it when someone murder your broda. Your comment shows dat Igbos are very useless.

But you'll die if we leave you.
