It was the Hausas that the Biafrans Slaughtered at Cable Point in Asaba. when Biafra invaded the Midwest Region

Get your facts right.



From Gen alabi isama’s book “Tragedy of Victory “

“The Biafran troops
broke the barricade on Niger River bridge and
went straight to a place called “Ogbe Hausa” at the
cable point; where the Hausa community lived.
Biafran troops pounced on them and killed many of
them. The few that escaped were mowed down at
Onitsha end, the people jubilated.”


THE MASSACRE:

On 2nd of May 1968, Isheagu was murderously invaded by a contingent of the Hausa-Fulani cum Yoruba ethnic dominated Nigerian army, led by a young commissioned officer in the rank of a Lieutenant-Colonel, late Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia, from the present day Edo State. He later became the first military governor of the old Mid-Western region in 1973 which transformed into Bendel from where Delta and Edo States of today were created. Late Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia retired as a Brigadier-General of the murderous Nigerian army. He led a detachment of the Nigerian troops from Asaba to Isheagu on what was termed "definitive intelligence report", linking Isheagu people as saboteurs.

But what do ignorant igbos think of Yoruba that returned all their properties?
Only Hausa returned all Igbo properties.
Ojukwu even fought with Lagos government to reclaim some of his father's estate. The rest were converted to Lagos government property like old Rivers state did to Igbo owned hotels which are now state owned hotels in Rivers.
The only difference between Ikwerre and Yoruba style of taking over Igbo properties after the war is that many Yorubas did not support the government in their quest of converting Igbo properties to Government owned, some fought with the government over it but Ikwerre, both young and Old scrambled for the properties, Kanuri scrambled as well, especially former gardeners and gate men taking over mansions (they don't even hide this one in Maiduguri, ask anyone there)
Only Hausa did not take over the properties, they only burnt some houses and shops (those that the youths got hold of) but some even took care of the rent from some of the Igbo owned houses and handed the money to Ndigbo that returned after the war (ask about this)
After the war, Yorubas revoked all Igbo rights over all their properties (both land and Houses)

My grandfather got all his property in Bauchi back.
None was tampered with.
Hausas are great people. If only they didn't meet Fulanis who introduced Islam to them. They would have been the best ethnicity on this country to relate with.

Yes, many of our people got theirs back, some got both their property and the rent the Hausas collected over the years for them. That was how they started from.
I don't know why people suppress this part of history. Even the part that many Hausas lost their lives while hiding Ndigbo in their wives quarters during the war. Once the youths find those igbos that were hidden, they kill the Hausa House owner.
Unlike the Yorubas that pointed out Ndigbo for the military to kill in Lagos. Even Achebe's Yoruba neighbours pointed him out as well

The Binis went house to House in Benin city pointing out Igbos in Bini who were mainly Anioma people, for Nigerian Army to massacre.

Recently a Bini man came to Enu-ani forum on Facebook to preach Midwestern republic, Enu-ani people there reminded him of how Bini Massacred them.

Secondarily, Binis led the revolt against appointment of Dr Okonkwo, an Anioma man as the military governor of the Midwest by Ojukwu after Biafran forces invaded the region.
They called Okonkwo an Igbo man and saw his appointment as Igbo domination.

But today,Edo people are telling us that Anioma people are now Bini people.

Sorry my dear, in the Eastern region the government never awarded land to anybody talk less of other people's land to build houses on.
All the previous owners of the abandoned properties had their Certificate of occupancy before the war but that couldn't salvage their properties for them because it became a worthless paper to the new government

The Biafran Army Slaughtered all the Hausas they could Lay their hands on in the Midwest and it didn’t end there

During the Biafran Soldiers withdrawal from Ore every non Igbo along their route between Ore in the Western Region and Agbor was shot dead, a distance of more than 200 km. Those that were inside Cars had the Cars taken over by Biafran Soldiers who didn’t have enough Vehicles to transport them back to the East.

Both sides of the road were full of dead bodies,

When the Biafran Army reached Agbor there was another Massacre every non Igbo they could find in Agbor Town was killed.

Gen Gowon prevented the full details from being published in the interest of reconciliation and One Nigeria

Obi Ebbi who was a Biafran Soldier confessed in his book “ Broken back axle , unspeakable events in Biafra “ they killed all the non Igbos along the Biafran Army’s withdrawals route it in order to prevent information on their Biafran Army’s Movement from being passed to the Federal Soldiers who were in Pursuit behind them

There is a Photograph of the road with dead bodies on both Sides of it for as far as the eye can see , I think it Was Peter Obe a Newspaper Photographer that took it.

The report of the Justice Omo Eboh Panels investigation into the atrocities committed during the Biafrans Army’s Invasion of the MidWest was said to have filled more that twenty boxes



The Non Igbos of the East even Claim they were Victims of Ethnic Cleansing by the Biafran Soldiers

2 ). Enough Of This Biafran Nonsense!!! By alabo abiye Akkio-abbey


As a Rivers man who saw the events of 1967-1970 and who was old enough to understand them, this protest in Port Harcourt is a slap on true Rivers indigenes. and the memory of ALL the Rivers men and women who were slaughtered in the pogroms and ethnic cleansing committed during the civil war by the Biafran Army.
Let us remind ourselves of the TRUE facts and REAL reasons behind the secession and subsequent civil war. Ojukwu and his cohorts decided to secede from Nigeria because Gowon broke up the regions and created Rivers State among the 12 states he created. Remember the Aburi accord? Article 4 of that accord had to do with the breaking up of the regions. On the 27th of May, 1967, Gowon broke up the Regions, from the then Eastern Region and carved out Rivers, South-Eastern and East-Central states. 3 days later on 30th May, 1967 Ojukwu seceded citing the Aburi accord. ON ABURI WE STAND!! The rallying war cry of the day. How anyone who calls himself/herself a Rivers indigene support tacitly or otherwise the so-called Biafra cause when Biafra seceeded just because Rivers State was created and the Rivers people for once had a right to self rule?
In the quest for a sovereign country did the Igbo majority seek, discuss with or solicit the support of the minorities in the Oil Rivers and South-East?? Where is Biafra? How do you seek for a country which was susequently named Biafra WITHOUT involving the indigenous people of Biafra? Isn't that supreme arrogance or maybe they were not included because they were meant to be wiped out later. Events proved the latter to be true.
Late Chief (Dr.) Nabo Graham-Douglas who was the Attorney General of the Eastern Region was sent on compulsory leave and exiled to his home town Abonnema with orders for him to be executed. Fortunately the plans leaked and he miraculously escaped. He didn't draw the Articles of secession and only heard about Biafra from the BBC journalists who came to interview him in Abonnema.
He was one of the lucky ones.
The ethnic cleansing began in earnest. Our intelligentsia; top civil servants, technocrats and other able bodied men and women were rounded up and summarily executed in Enugu, Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Degema, Buguma, Bakana, to mention but a few towns/cities. In Port Harcourt, Rainbow town and Igritta, became killing fields. the bones of those victims still lie there
These atrocities were committed by the Biafran Army, against people who were supposed to be fighting the same cause with them.
In a bid to wipe out the minority tribes, our towns and villages were evacuated, our men put to slave labour and later on shot (reminiscent of Nazi Germany), our women taken as sex slaves, young boys shared the same fate as the men. Bakana, Bille, Abonnema were all forcefully evacuated.
Finally, when the Nigerian Army counter attacked and liberated Port Harcourt, the retreating Biafran Army, burnt Kingsway (now Supabod building), Nabo Graham-Douglas's law library (which was the best Law library in the whole of West Africa) and other land marks in the Garden city. Of what military significance were these acts??
I don't blame the misguided ill-informed people for trampling on the graves of those who were murdered by the Biafran Army, by protesting in Port Harcourt. I blame Gowon for forbidding accounts of the war being published after the war, but more importantly for not trying war criminals (like Col Ojeh of Degema) within the Biafran Army and holding them accountable for their inhuman and murderous actions during the war. 70 years after World War 2, we are still reminded on a daily basis the atrocities that the Nazi's committed. If Gowon had done what he was morally and duty bound to do, this matter of Biafra would have been put to rest once and for all.
By the way, in May 1968, my uncle (my mother's younger brother) was shot in his Warri street residence in Port Harcourt, his corpse butchered, his flesh sold as Biafra meat in Mile 1 market. That same day the Nigerian Army opened up and started shelling Port Harcourt, which was ultimately liberated
Are those protesting and the other supporters of "Biafra" aware of these facts??
The war has been over these past 45 years, we are forging on as a country, setting aside our ethnocentric issues. That Ex-Biafrans have been assimilated into all spheres of our society (as they should), without any punishment meted out to the war criminals among them, doesn't give anyone the right to re-write history or bring these painful memories back.

I have been reading some misconception about the people of the Niger deltans concerning Biafra.
Now let me tell you all facts.
An average person from delta state and Edo speaks Yoruba language very fluently, infact apart from English and our normal Edo, ijaw, urhobo, isoko and itsekiri language, our third most spoken language of the people of Niger Delta is the "Yoruba language"
You can take this to the bank and cash it anytime any day.

For example if you go to mile two, mile twelve, Berger and the rest, most of the people, most of the guys you will see in those bus stops particularly in transport companies, most of them are from delta state and Edo ( urhobos In particular)

But the way they speak Yoruba, you will think they are Yorubas.
Contrary to the normal general believe that lots of Igbos are in lagos, apart from the Yorubas who are the legit owners of Lagos State, the second highest concentration of people in lagos state are the people from delta state and Edo.

In Osun, Oyo, Ondo and the rest states of the Yoruba nation, the second most concentrated people in those states are the urhobos and the people from delta and Edo.

Have you been to Ile ife? There are more urhobos in Ile ife than in the entire south east.

The people of delta state and Edo are like twins to the Yoruba nation.
Africa magic Yoruba has the highest viewers from delta state and Edo even more than some Yoruba states, only Lagos top us when it comes to Africa magic Yoruba.
This is not mere propaganda or some lies, i am writing raw facts here.
The people of Niger Delta, delta and Edo and yourbas have this Lionel Messi/Suarez kind of relationship. The love is Genuine.

Do you know that 50% of people from delta, Bayelsa and Edo grew up in south west?

You will hardly ever see an ijaw man or urhobos or Edo, itsekiri man, leaving in south east, it's almost impossible.
Even looking at transportation. 99% of flights and busses coming out of delta, Edo and Bayelsa State are all heading to south west.

Have you been to ore?

My whole point is that i believe in one
Nigeria but if eventually Nigeria breaks, I don't know about Calabar or Akwa Ibom
but the ijaws in porthacourttt and entire deltans, Bayelsa and Edo will rather form a United Kingdom with oduduwas just like the united kingdom and Scotland with Lagos being England.

The Gods have spoken and so shall it be.

Court rise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The united kingdom of oduduwas will be the most prosperous nation on earth.

Note!! I have nothing against the Ibos, i am only speaking raw truth.[/quote]

We wish you all the best. As long as the People who identify as Igbo are part of Biafra, I will be most happy. Others can join you, that’s completely okay.

And what if they choose not to be part of....?

They can be wherever they wish. No nation can work if they don’t believe in each other, we don’t want another Nigeria.
