Stalemate?

There was tension back in Lagos on why Gowon insisted on continuing the war after liberating Midwest and SS states of present day Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River.

The northern Muslim officers in Gowon's war cabinet wanted the war to end but Gowon insisted on bringing the Ibo territories back into Nigeria.

The reasons for Gowon wanting the war to continue are hinged on two reasons :

1. Gowon being a northern minority and a Christian had earlier opposed Murtala's Operation Araba and wanted to preserve Nigeria to check the northern Muslim ambitions on his people. Domkat Bali made this position clear in his book on why they insisted on continuing the war to bring back Ibo territories into Nigeria.

2. Ibo elite had lost interest in Biafra after the liberation of the annexed SS regions and had come to see Ojukwu as an unhinged tyrant. It's no secret that the likes of Zik opposed Biafra only after SS Territories were liberated.
Ojukwu will later comment years after the war that Biafra is not feasible because it had so many Sabos. As you know, not a week went by without a whisky drunk Ojukwu was not ordering executions on his own troop commanded for either cowardice or sabotage.

So better understand that at no time did you ever hold Nigeria on a stalemate.

The Nigerian military simply switched from all out attack to siege tactics after the SS was liberated.

So get your facts right and stop listening to that your failure of a grand uncle who keeps lying about your phantom gallantry .
You literally PROOVED NOTHING. First of all it was an obvious stalemate due to the fact that the fighting had stopped
Second of all the only reason Gwon wanted to invade Biafra back was due to the fact that he had thought of the blockade technique which brought Biafra to its knees. You act so stupid sometimes

So why did it take your useless well armed and equiped army of vandals with the best of weapons of 20th century 3 years to win?
The main offensive that was geared on chasing your orc army back to their cannibal lairs took less than 7 months.

You had the advantage of time to dig in but instead you diverted men and resources to terrorise non Ibo civilians trapped in your Okoro empire and foolishly you thought you could advance to Lagos.

But isn't it remarkable via sheer brilliant military manuvering, Adekunle will advance from the rump with his Amphibious brigade? Adekunle stormed Warri and coalesced all the local ressistance force into his brigade and started the putsch across the SS in less than 6 months!

The war changed from offensive to a siege.

Okoro, we will school you true history and not the fake lies your ever lying war generation has handed down to you.

Your Biafran army was chased away and from there used civilians as shields.

Gowon not wanting to have his government and forces accused of war crimes after the hullabaloo generated from Murtala rightly executing Biafran soldiers who had blended into civilian population and those Ibo Bendelites who worked with the Biafran invasion , had instructed the war to be as sterile as possible hence why the blockade option was instituted.

You had the advantage but you lost the initiative from the very beginning.

Try nonesense again and see entire Alaigbo flattened.

Sharap füül.So Biafra soldiers was busy terrorising non Igbos inside Biafra while your useless soldiers was busy raping women and killing little children and could not win the distracted Biafran soldiers.Nigeria army then and now is the world most incompetent military.
Fighting Bokoharam for twenty years without victory.
Fighting UGM for 2 years now without victory.Let them go to Niger and get some beating.

If Nigeria military couldn’t defeat breakaway Biafra army with no military formation or weapons until after it 3rd year what make Tinubu think the Nigeria army will defeat Niger a country of more than 60years in 4 years time?

A month to drive out a well dug in armed force in their supposed region over an area extending more than 300,000 sqKm and you say that isn't a brilliant military feat.

Okoro, Adekunle is one of the greatest military strategists ever. Even the Americans could not achieve this feat in Vietnam in a similar tropical swamp jungle terrain.

The northern officers were rightly afraid of Adekunle after the war and that's why they eased him out of the army.

Name one military feat in modern warfare that has achieved gaining and controlling so much territory in such a very short span.

There are accounts of your cannibal orc army raping, killing and eating minorities indiscriminately .
You were the aggressors and in no way or form victims.

This is why till this day you Igbos are resented in the SS.

You meant the minorities Murtala Mohammed massacred at Asaba and other places?
Murtala rightly executed Bendel Ibo traitors and captured Biafran soldeirs who dumped their uniforms and mingled with the civilian populace.


Those executed were rounded up by civilians and handed to Murtala for either collaborating with Biafran invaders or were captured Biafran soldeirs.

No non Ibo minority was killed by Murtala

More excuses.

Biafran army had the largest cache of arms than Nigerian side as arms were being secretly deployed from Lagos to the eastern command under Ironsi.

Midwest had next to zero weapons and after Decree 8 that saw to a brief regionalisation of the army , Gowon hesitated to supply Ejoor with ammunition fearing his declared neutrality will see him side Biafra .

You ran out of weapons early in the war and that is as a result of Ojukwu being an incompetent General who forgot about creating a supply line.
