One Sided History Biafrans Slaughtered all the Northerners they found in the Midwest when they invaded in 1967 On their Withdrawal from Ore in the Western Region they Slaughtered all the Non Igbos along their Withdrawal route all the Way to Agbor a distance of about 200 km When they got to Agbor in another huge Massacre they Slaughtered all the Non Igbos in Town Only those who fled into the Bush survived On the day the Biafra Army invaded Okene in Kogi a huge Massacre happened there since many there look and dress like Northerners On their Withdrawal Slaughters were also recovered around Auchi and Agenebode anywhere the people were dressed Or looked like Northern Muslims One Muslim Village between Beninn and Agbor had it’s Population virtually wiped out men women and Children 1 Like |

Christistruth03:Weak argument After massacring over 60,000 people you expect them to be kind to the northerners? Were you expecting a peace deal or what? What happened to the asaba massacre? The northerners massacred igbos and igbos retaliated Anyways per bolded you have no source they massacred for no reason |

Brek: 30,000 Ogoni were deported to Concentration Camps and left to die of Starvation there while Surrounded by Ojukwu’s Soldiers Biafrans occupied their Oil Rich Lands Food relief was diverted by Biafran Soldiers so it wouldn’t reach them Gowon was right If everything was published it would have made forgiveness difficult Gowon banned the publishing of the Omoh Eboh Panel’s investigation of the Biafran Soldiers Atrocities or any other reports of their Atrocities during during the War 1 Like |

Brek: Ojukwu's Biafran Soldiers not only Massacred Civilians they went further and Butchered their Corpses for Meat The practice of Butchering People for meat was not Started by IPOB Eastern Non Igbos were Victims of Ethnic Cleansing by the Biafran Soldiers Read the article below https://www.scribd.com/doc/111157467/The-Biafran-Crisis-and-the-Midwest-by-S-E-Orobator http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/articles-opinions/the-unknown-victims-ethnic-minorities-1967-1970/ https://m.facebook.com/naijainfoman/posts/1139807712715827 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), [b]Nabo Graham-Douglas's law library (which was the best Law library in the whole of West Africa) [/b]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.

Christistruth03:Easy debunk your first article shows that nobody can access the document showing how it's unreliable the second document shows that it's AN opinion not a fact it's literally alleged with no proof or source that's happening and the third article it's literally Facebook no source that it happened Anyways I've refuted your claims that it happened also to know that the last paragraph said that somebody was shot by an unknown man literally dosent say if the person was an igbo or not Another thing to debunk this is that the rivers man protesting was not for margilazination by the biafran officers but BY THE WAR THAT HAPPENED they felt Biafra was going to loose and if they did while still supporting Biafra they'll be margilazied even MORE my goodness so easy to refute your silly paragraph all the nonsense you posted up there is not supported by any historical claims rather then a mass of opinions made by a random dude.

Brek: So you think the Civilians massacred at Ore killed themselves abi? Have You forgotten that the People of Ore are Yorubas and told their Kinsmen exactly what the Biafrans did them? Are you trying to say the people of Ore who were attacked and saw Ojukwu’s Soldiers massacre their people didn’t see what they definitely saw and With all the injuries and dead bodies to prove it? While Ojukwu’s Biafran Soldiers were still busy shooting all the non Igbos all their way back back to Agbor ? 1 Like |
