The civil war wasn't a genocide, it was a war between Nigerian military and Biafra military.

Both side killed each other, now the losing side who are biafrans have started creating a false narrative that 5 million igbos were killed. This is the fake news spread by ipob agents.

If 5 million igbos were killed during the civil war then where were they killed?

Let everyone remember that the war was between Nigerian military and biafra military, not Nigerian military and igbo civilians.

Most of the war were fought in the bushes, soldiers from both side suffered casualties but Nigeria won and biafra surrendered.



In a war, you face the aggressors. Are you saying that the Igbos up north and down south who where killed in their State of residence were aggressors and needed to be killed and their properties confiscated. Both young and old? Or those running from their state of residence abandoning all their properties deserved to die. Someone accused me of not having human sympathy for telling him to return to post after falling from a broken ladder. I wonder what such a person will say to a guy that celebrate the death of innocent people.

Most of the people who fought during the war were recruited into the biafra army.

And the wars were fought in the bushes, mostly in the country side.

The losing side then to exaggerate events for sympathy


What then happened to those citizens who starved to death.You say those wars were fought in the bushes that is very wrong because the Nigerian government did not like the agenda of Biafra and then decided to also make the people suffer.

Stop exaggerating events.

The igbos started the war, they killed northern and southern leaders and a backclash happened in the north.

The event led to the igbo saying they want a break up, Nigeria didn't agree and went to cease oil fields in port Harcourt.

This resulted in the declaration of war on Nigeria by ojukwu.

starvation you call it? It means you guys were never ready for the war. How do you expect the country you are at war with to provide you with food? grin
They could have provided you with poisoned food which would have been worse..

Mumu people always beating the drums of war without any plan/strategy

Simplyleo, You dey see this mumu post?
I sometimes wonder if some of them are igbos. Because from their comments, you will begin to think they are actually anti igbos. Imagine that kind of post in support of igbos.

I am really angry with some Igbo on this forum for always responding or contributing to irrelevant anti-Igbo threads. What are you trying to explain to them that will change anything.

They claimed no genocide and you let them believe whatever thing they want to believe. If they say no genocide, then you keep mute. Simple!


Some lgbos are really stupid. What exactly are you trying to prove by responding on this thread for?

You mean the coup.
Cease oil field? You have a different history born out of propaganda and hate.

Backlash in the North by notherners or by the government. I was told the only thing the north hate hearing is to be told they are lying. Could it be because they are the chief of lies and propaganda? You already know. Keep lying.

Its obvious this people don't want to be Nigeria even in the next 500 years the agitation will still be there.

Every day you try so hard to put them in line yet they're relentless. The hatred, nepotism, marginalization, killings against them by the Nigerian state is obvious.

What do you advise these Biafrans in your wisdom since co existence is not working?

Yes, the oil field in port Harcourt was part of the cause of the war.

Nigeria placed an oil embargo on biafra and then cease the oil.

The biafrans wanted the igbo region and the oil.

as for the north, The backlash was because the surduana of sokoto ( was killed by the igbo coup plotters, note, his house was bombed and his family massacre.

What marginalization and killings?
The igbos are all over Nigeria trading without being attacked.

There are lot of minorities who are marginalized but we don't hear their voice but the people who are the most employed in the federal government are claiming marginalization and nepotism.

Frederick Forsyth describes the use of the flying Ogbunigwe against an attack by the Nigerian army 1st division in 1969 as follows:

It spread death and destruction over a large area, and as usual the first division (...) were advancing in solid phalanxes of packed soldiery. An American who examined the scene afterwards estimated that, out of 6000 men who took part in the attack, 4000 failed to return.[3]

So who did the government cease the oil well from. Was there any oil well given to Biafra or Federal government woke up and ceased all oil wells built by persons from Biafra origin.

You can not redeem a deliberate liar.

Who was the head of state during the progrom? Was the progrom before, during or after the civil war?
Sardona of Sokoto's death, was it caused by the Igbos or military? Was his death before, or during the civil war? Was Aguiyi, the benefactor of the coup, still alive during the progrom? What ever you answer is for your consumption. A murderer sees nothing wrong in killing people. Until you learn the meaning of genocide, you will keep exhibiting your ethnocentrism and bigotry.

1. The biafrans took over port Harcourt because of the oil and Nigeria ceased it because it is Nigeria property. The british discovered the oil and Nigeria paid for exploration and was in partnership with shell.

2. The president was Nnamdi Azikiwe and prime minister was Tafawa balewa ( who was eventually killed by igbo coup plotters)

3. The anti igbo sentiment happened when tafawa and the sarduana were killed.

4 Aguyi ironsi was the top ranking officer and took over after the death of tafawa, and he became the first military head of state in Nigeria.

5. You can't call a war genocide because both sides died in the war, the genocide story is FAKENEWS

they are only changing the narrative because Nigeria decided to let go of the past

The same people who claim victims will also chest beat in another thread of how they killed Nigerian soldiers like fowl
