Sha it can't happen easily again.

Unless if the south east militant gets carried away by greed for fund

They are now armed. Prior to 2015....they weren't.

Infact the militant are looking for a good opportunity/excuse to spill some Hausa blood

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

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

Everyone knew that the marriage between North and the South wouldnt work, but Nnamdi Aikiwe, Mr Nationalism, The Owelle of Onistha, The self acclaimed Zik of Africa still went ahead to romance with the North to make up the government of the first republic.

By the way, i am from the Middle Belt. JS Tarka's United Middle Belt Congress(UMBC) was a political party in opposition to Ahmadu Bello's Northern People Congress in Northern Nigeria but Nnamdi Azikiwe's NCNC went ahead to forge an alliance with the NPC. So therefore i'll implore you to blame Nnamdi Azikiwe for the 'mess'

Guy stop running around in circles. Ibos were not the only one that have been victims in the killings. Go dust your history books, read about the the Tiv riot. The middle beltans have also suffered massacres.

Like i asked you earlier; everyone knew that the north was hostile to the south, why then did Nnamdi Azikiwe, an ibo man, form an alliance with the same northerners that have been killing his people ? Because of Greed & lust for power, i guess
most of what the guy wrote there are religious crises not even a direct target against ibos like pre 70s
Re: History Of IGBO Massacre Across The Northern Nigeria by Osoboshi: 11:03pm On Nov 20, 2023
Deadlytruth:


That Zik of a man, to me, was suffering from some form of personality defect. He collateralized the lives of his own brothers for his personal and self seeking ambition to become venerated as a 'nationalist' or even a 'continentalist' titled Zik of Africa. A man who heard Ahmadu Bello and Balewa clearly when they both proclaimed their hatred for Igbos but still went ahead to form a coalition with the same persons was surely a psychiatric hospital patient mistaking himself for a nationalist.
the stupid mentality of thinking u are wiser than others inherent in most ibos was what pushed him to do those stupid alignment,with northerners have been building empires before he knew what civilisation was

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.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Are you trying to say the people of Ore who were attacked and saw Ojukwu’s Soldiers massacre their people didn’t see what
