No Igbo man should stand with Russia at all.
Do you even know or remembered the role Russia played In the Biafra war?
So now suddenly they realise that the two regions deserve independence, but not Biafra. Putin is a hypocrite. How come he is no longer talking of their independence , it's now down to NATO this European Union that. He only used that as smokescreen. Not out of love for the people of the region
And yes no Igbo man should stand with Ukraine too.
Nigeria government has dealt with Igbo same way Russia is dealing with them now. I can only urge Igbos to stand � with the oppressed people from the two regions seeking independence, and all oppressed people from all over the world

Re: If As An Igbo Man You Stand With Russia You Are A Fool by Eastlink(m): 5:09am On Feb 27, 2022
And you are a bigger fool for showing your illiteracy in such topic. IPOB illiterates should quit lumping Ndigbo into their shallow analysis. The Biafran war was a single event where the major world powers supported Nigeria due to Ojukwu's diplomatic incompentence.

Ndigbo must quit the attitude of one-way ideology. Ukraine business should not involve us. Russia invading Ukraine is a family matter that should stay within the confines of Europe. Africa has suffered a lot.

Russia and US are friends when it comes to selfish interest. Infact Russia and NATO must be dissolved for a better world. Russia and the US led NATO have caused more death of human lives since the WW11, the Americans who claims saints are a greater demon than anything you can imagine.

For Africa to rise above the Berlin Wall dictates, we must be ready to take our destiny into our hands, lest we continue to remain a pawn in the hands of the selfish world powers.

Role of Russia in the Biafran War
.1- Russian interest early in the war was to support Biafra. They sent an emissary, who appear in Enugu like a mystery, but Ojukwu refused to give him audience believing doing so will pit the British against him. The emissary came to propose moving Russian naval assets into Lagos and PH waters to prevent British interference. We would have won the war but would also have be a communist country.

2. Yes, Ojukwu was correct in his assessment of British fears, how ever his failure is that he did not realise how badly Britain wanted Niger delta oil and were already pitted against him. The now declassified intelligence files from UK shows they had only two reasons for the war, 1. Recouping 220 million pounds they invested in the infant niger delta oil, 2. Fear of Russian entry into west Africa, which they believed will rob them of their control of agricultural products mainly from Northern Nigeria. (Probably same Reason Yaradua was extinguished, as he was making deals with Gazprom and planning to move oil licences to China)
Both reason are just how to loot resources.

Since the 1800s the various British visitors were not just explorers but scholars profiling each African group. They already did not believe they could control or loot the Niger Delta oil from Igbos.


3. With Ojukwu's gaffe or miscalculation (he thought Britain was honourable and would do the right thing eventually, same way we see America today), Britain took the opportunity to show Russia the Ogbunigwes developed by Biafra, convincing them we can do more harm and become a future military power, and reached a deal with Russia not to back biafra. Having been rejected already by Biafra, Russia simply agreed.

4. The massive British supply of arms to Gowon even when they were documenting the ineffectiveness and poor performance of the Nigerian army, was simply because Gowon was trying to buy arms from Russia, and the wanted to keep Russia away from their food. This is also well documented in the UK declassified intelligence files.

There is no reason why Biafrans should not move towards Russia, they might be underdogs, but are big underdog that is undefeated. More importantly, the Russian man talks straight, no British diplomacy viz a viz deception and lies like forcing Kenya to arrest MNK and pretending they do not know anything about it.

Thank you for this peace ,some years ago I came across some declassified documents where Russia was expressing their disappointment with the Nigerian military over the rising cases of human rights abuses and their ineffectiveness in the battlefield thereby prolonging the battle

I don't think you have the moral right to tell anyone whom to support. I wonder if you knew Russia at first tried supporting Biafra, but Ojukwu said no whatever. They proceeded selling arms to Nigeria. But you don't know that because you're a typical otelectual. Fulani hybrid, son of a LovePeddler.

You mangled everything beyond recognition here.. I will help you to set some points clear:

1) It was The USSR that armed The Nigerian government togt with The British and co and not Russia. The USSR had many states as members, so it will be wrong to single out just Russia to pour your venom..

2) Both Ukraine and Russia were members of the USSR. Essentially, if you are going to lambast The Russians for the role of The Soviets in The Biafran genocide, you also have to apportion blames to the Ukrainians who as a that time were equal members of The USSR.

3) The Soviet support for Nigeria during the war, in my own reasoning is a function of ojukwus heady diplomacy. The USSR demanded what they wanted from him and he said no! The Nigerians went and The USSR asked for the same things and The Nigerians accepted everything, even if they later refused to follow up. Ojukwu sent Mbanefo first before Enahoro went for Nigeria. Ojukwu should have known better as a student of history, that support for war activities between big powers and smaller nations are more else trade offs,

4)This is not necessarily a "you vs them" war. This conflict is very peculiar in terms of it's originating factors and will produce results that will ultimately effect you and your "ostritch head" as time goes by. This is more or else the fight that might unleash the "second cold war"! You have a right to choose where you belong..

4) I don't think that those who make certain points in support of Russia do so because they hate the west or The United States. One must be sick upstairs to think that The Americans are all bad. America has contributed enermously to global growth. That's not in doubt. What you're witnessing in terms of the submissions against the role of the west in all these crises is nothing but people expressing their frustrations with the way The West has been conducting their foreign policy pursuits in recent times. Too much blood, no respect for poor people... The world needs Peace and growth... Even westerners talk more about these than Africans.

Finally, Nigerians should start evaluating global events from an Afrocentric perspectives before dabbling into things. It's not always right to turn into western megaphones as we parrot the stands and goals of the western world without essentially asking the all important question "what's there for us"....

Somebody here said that NATO is nothing but a "peaceful and defensive" and that they never attack any country. Who killed Gadaffi then? Was it not the same NATO that bombed Libya to pieces? Is it not because of that dislocation of Libya tonsteal her Oil and gas riches that all sorts of insurgency in the northern part of West Africa have been intensifying, including Boko Haram? Do the west care about the thousands that have died here as a result?

Point of correction. Russia played no part in the civil war, rather USSR did of which Ukraine was a principal part of the USSR. Does it account for nothing that in all the Soviet republic's, only Russia, Ukraine and Khajastan had nukes?

Look at the Ukraine you are supporting. If you don't know, the way Israel is supporting Ukraine is making experts ask if the holocaust was as serious as the Jews make it look like? Because it makes no sense for someone that claim that Nazi committed atrocity on them only to be selling guns to open Neo-Nazis.

Thanks for this.

The OP poured out his ignorance in HD. He should be ashamed of his generation for such stupidity.

When Biafra said that they are fighting for Independence, who does he think they are fighting? In his myopic mind he thinks it is Nigeria not knowing that it is Britain and the West.

If Ojukwu behaved like an intelligent person by negotiating with USSR, we won't be having this stupid chat today in Nigeria.
