The Pride Of Black Race In Ojukwu's First Post War Speech In February 1994 by stevnwigw1(op): 1:31pm On Jul 16, 2023
THE PRIDE OF BLACK RACE
In Ojukwu's first post war speech in February 1994
at the Lagos Law school
He said the following :
'' The war has come and gone but we remember
with pride and hope, the three heady years of
freedom.
These were the three years when we had the
opportunity to demonstrate what Nigeria would have
been even before 1970.
In the three years of war, necessity gave birth to
invention. During those three years, we built bombs,
we built rockets, we designed and built our own
delivery system. We guided our rockets, we guided
them far and guided them accurately.
For three years, blockaded without the hope of
imports, we maintained engines, machines and
technical equipments. The state extracted and
refined petrol with our own indigenous technology
called the ' The Biafran pot '.
Individuals refined petrol in their backyards
gardens.
We built and maintained airports and air strips. We
maintained them under heavy bombardment. We
spoke to the world through a telecommunication
system engineered by local ingenuity. The world
heard us and spoke back at us.
We built armoured tanks and cars. We modified
aircraft from trainers to fighters, from passenger
aircraft to bombers. In three years of freedom, we
became the most civilized, the most technologically
advanced black people on earth''
Now u wonder why I am deeply passionate about
biafra, the answer lies in the above speech.
Biafra was able to achieve much in war time under
the strictest condition what Nigeria has not been
able to achieve in its long years of peace.
To show their deep hatred for Biafrans, out of
jealousy they destroyed all the feats achieved by
Biafrans. The Biafran research documents were
burnt, what a waste of ingenuity.
Nigeria all along has what it needed to compete with
the world but fear and jealousy blinded them and a
people's ingenuity has been left to waste while the
whole populace wallow in ignorance.
This is why we the freedom lovers are saying that
enough is enough, copy

If Biafra did all these despite blockade, gang up and isolation by Britain, soviet union, east Germany, Egypt, Chad ,Cameroon, Niger Republic , Arab world, syria, sudan, then the problem is Nigeria .
Nigerian is its biggest problem, problem of black race and the problem of mankind.

But how are we allowing the white to choose leaders for us?
Re: The Pride Of Black Race In Ojukwu's First Post War Speech In February 1994 by stevnwigw1(op): 1:53pm On Jul 16, 2023
Knowing that they will select the worst from among us.

They love ojukwu so much but refused to vote for him. They even brought out people to contest and divide his vote. But chose to vote massively for a failure years later

Igbos and Southerners to the world. I don't support war but I laugh when I hear people say Igbos will be killed like chicken again if such war is repeated. grin

If Biafra can achieve all this during the war, when the world Haven't been this advance in tech think of what they could do now.

If Igbos are allowed to go trust me they wouldn't want to fail themselves and become a laughing stock.

If Singapore can do it Igbos who have done it before will do better this time.

One thing is sure with the current level of mass tribalism in this country way worse than racism Igbos face abroad Nigeria will surely divide someday.

The South might not go with Igbos but they (the igbos) will definitely become well progressive overtime and have peace in abundance..

It's really a shame how Blacks tend to always self destruct due to crab mentality. When the second world war ended, the American government realized that German scientists and technologists were advanced than others across the globe. They were the bedrock that helped Hitler to even imagine conquering the world. So, they persuaded them to relocate to America. Gave them all the amenities and conducive environment to operate. United States benefitted greatly from their exploits!

When the Biafra/Nigeria civil war ended, instead of the Nigerian government to empower the Biafran scientists and engineers to work for the country, they instead decided to destroy their efforts. They did it out of fear, envy, wickedness and ignorance. Today, Nigeria has continued in circles of poverty, when we should have become technologically advanced like the Asian Tigers.

Whats glamarious about a war induced invention, after the war nko as the inventions put SE ahead of other region
Is it that the East has no memorable period that resonate with glorious days such that the only history they have to share is Civil war ..

What is wrong with people one foolish man started a coup that led thousands of youth to there early and left so much destruction in there land yet that is the memory some one chooses as a glorious day

All those inventions, how did it benefit the economy of SE, is there any developmental growth worth of mentions

Inventions without food production cheesy, yet they brag they last 3yrs if not for Awolowo that was graciously sending food to SE can they last 1yr without food
When we SE historians start bragging and informing us of how they survive independently with food production, Ungrateful things, how many infrastructure in the SE was built by the invention revenue

In SW we have infrastructures built with agricultural proceeds/revenue .. those are the things of pride not a civil war you lost and can't pin point one benefit over time.
