You can imagine

Igirigimercenar:
Wait, what about the Biafra/ Nigeria war genocide?

There's difference between war and genocide

Oh no

buygala:
That's not Genocide ...That was an all-out war where Nigeria emerged victorious even though soldiers and civilians died on both sides...and the winner of a war takes all, just as the Allied forces took all and subdued Germany and Japan after World War 2....So Nigeria after emerging victorious from the civil war, took all, as it should be.

Ojukwu led the Ibos into that totally avoidable war, only to abandon them and run to Abidjan after sacrificing his kinsmen for nothing..As if that was not enough, he was still so shameless that he ran for President of the same Nigeria he made millions of his kinsmen die fighting..

Now his wife Bianca is an ambassador of the same Nigeria her husband sacrificed millions of their kinsmen fighting...

It was an all-out war in which Nigeria unfortunately or fortunately emerged victorious...Biafran soldiers slaughtered Nigerian troops while they could ...

Quit the victim mentality, look inward and hold your turn-coat tribal leaders responsible...If there is anyone to hold responsible for the effect on the Ibos of the Civil war's outcome, it's Ojukwu..and since he is dead, hold his wife in his stead....Make sure you hold her tight

. Yorugba man,all these cries of yours are not necessary, you have answered my question from the first paragraph

I had to school you so that this Christmas, you can travel to the East and confront Bianca who is busy doing Nigeria Ambassador while Nnamdi Kanu una Hero is doing Life in Sokoto Prison for fighting for Biafra


Nobody 'genocided" you people...Your own people did that to you

Genocides are still quietly going around the world today which the UN is not doing enough to stop.

That Bosnian genocide.... I felt it when I listened to 2 albums by the cranberries:

No need to argue ( zombie, ode to my family)
To the faithful departed (Bosnia, war child, the rebels)

I am think the genocide is the mass starvation of Igbo civilians by the Nigerian government.

Igirigimercenar:

The OP deliberately avoided it to insult our sensitivities. More than 4 million Igbos killed and somehow, it is missing in the list.. smh

You are ridiculous. The Igbos never sought for any war. It was brought upon them by Nigeria and they had to survive...and you are declaring it as an all out war? Smh. It was a full deliberate effort to exterminate the Igbos using all means including starvation: Genocide!!!

Igirigimercenar:

Britain dey always do dem best to hide the genocide becos of there involvement

Mirasteel:
The genocide in Gaza also.

Don't worry. When Israel kills about 1million gazans,we Wil rate it as genocide

SatoshiX:
Biafran war lead by Ojukwu before he ran away to Ivory Coast.

Blockage of food during Nigeria civil war 1967 - 1970 which resulted to death of em biafrans amounted to genocide

Who ever soughts for war...?

Did the "Nigerians" sought war? No one deliberately sought to exterminate the igbos. Stop changing the narrative and change your mentality. It's a problem igbos keep having.

It was war to keep Nigeria together and not to exterminate igbos. That's the difference between war and genocide.

Genocide doesn't mean a large number of people were killed.


War is war!

Gbadugbakun:
Biafra genocide. Over 6 million igbos killed by the Nigerian government between 1966-1970.

Nigeria is paying and will continue to pay

War is war!

America could say same for their Native Indians and say war is war when America actively carried our acts of genocide against them, esp under Andrew Jackson. Nigeria under Gowon declared war on Biafrans(read your history well). Igbos never sought out or declared any war against Nigeria. They just had to defend themselves and survive. In fact at Aburi, Ojukwu and others extracted all the peaceful concessions needed to avert a war, until Gowon came back and reneged because his side felt they had the upper hand. The Genocide against the Igbos have never been controversial. I am stunned at your revisionisms. I am not surprised though. They no longer teach history in Nigeria.

Mirasteel:

if you know close that your mouth for here, which Gaza Experts have refuted these claims long time ago...

brain54:
All these biafra people...

Explain how that is genocide. Or you don't know the meaning of genocide?

Una get time.

madridguy:

most especially in Nigeria against children from Christian homes. Why are the kids from the Catholic school who were kidnapped weeks ago, This is an attempted genocide.....

You are quite funny...

What is new about the history of gowon declaring war on ojuckwu and Biafra. It was war to keep Nigeria together. Not to exterminate igbos.

Maybe you should check the meaning of genocide. Use a dictionary.

I'm appalled you know nothing about history and talking about teaching history in schools. Must igbos declare war before it is war? Wars are of different types according to what is being fought for. Are the Ukrainians that are being defensive against the Russians also being under genocide attacks from Russia?

You Biafrans never fail to amaze me with your watery arguments!

Igirigimercenar:

Self inflicted stupidity doesn't count as genocide.

Ojukwu weaponised your sufferings to gain global sympathy, support and a time out.

Nothing of value was lost tho.

How more biased can you be ?

You are simply a bloody liar.


Point of correction :


1. The Biafra -Nigeria Civil War was a genocide where over 3 million Biafrans were massacred by the Nigerian Federal Government Military Troops with the support of the Evil British Empire, USSR now Russia, and The United States who all has strategic interest in the abundant Crude oil Resources in the Biafran region.


The war as you described IT WAS NEVER BETWEEN NIGERIA AND THE BIAFRANS.

RATHER IT WAS 3 World Super Powers ( UK, RUSSIA , USA ) Combined together with the Nigeria Military to fight only the Biafrans.



2. The Biafrans never orchestrated any war.

Ojukwu never lured the Biafran to War. The War was brought to the Biafrans ...and they had no other option than to defend their land .

The war was brought to the Biafrans Shortly after some weeks that Biafra was peacefully and successfully created.

Note: Before the creation of Biafra, There was a Round -Table meeting , where All the Federations units that made up Nigeria all agreed and gave their support for the Creation of Biafra.

Biafra was also endorsed by all the African Countries at the Aburi Accord which held in Ghana.

The 2 major party involved signed a peace accord in Accra , Ghana


- The Federal Government of Nigeria, led by General Yakubu Gowon, and

- The Biafra Leader , led by Lt. Colonel Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
(The Ike-Mba 1 of Nnewi )



3. The Evil British empire brainwashed the Federal Government of Nigeria led by General Yakubu Gowon into launching an attack on the Biafrans .....out of their evil Desire to keep Nigeria united to protect her evil economic and political influence over Nigeria.

And most importantly, their Fear that Biafra’s secession might encourage other breakaway states in Africa..and they would lose control over their colonies in Africa..


Role of Foreign Countries in the Biafran–Nigeria Genocide (1967–1970)

🇬🇧 United Kingdom (Britain) – Supported Nigeria

Britain was Nigeria’s strongest international supporters.

Why Britain supported Nigeria:

Strategic interest in Nigerian oil, especially in the Niger Delta

Desire to keep Nigeria united to protect its economic and political influence

Fear that Biafra’s secession might encourage other breakaway states in Africa


What Britain provided:

Weapons, ammunition, and military advisors

Diplomatic support in the UN

Financial backing through continued oil operations



---

🇷🇺 Soviet Union (USSR) – Supported Nigeria

Surprisingly, the Soviet Union joined Britain in supporting Nigeria, an unusual Cold War alignment.

Why USSR supported Nigeria:

To expand influence in Africa during the Cold War

Nigeria’s large population and strategic relevance

Desire to counteract Western (especially French) influence


What they provided:

Heavy weapons (MiG fighter jets, artillery, armored vehicles)

Military technicians and training



---

🇺🇸 United States – Officially Neutral, Quietly Leaned Toward Nigeria

The U.S. claimed neutrality but diplomatically leaned toward supporting a unified Nigeria.

Why the U.S. held back:

Fear of being seen as supporting secession

Priority on keeping Nigeria stable as a major African nation

Domestic political concerns during the Vietnam War


The U.S. did not send major weapons.


---

🇫🇷 France – Supported Biafra (Indirectly)


France was Biafra's strongest international ally.

Why France supported Biafra:

To weaken British influence in West Africa

Humanitarian sympathy toward the Igbo

Oil interests in the Niger Delta

Fear of Soviet expansion in Nigeria


What France provided:

Weapons (usually through third parties like Ivory Coast)

Diplomatic pressure on behalf of Biafra

Support for Biafran propaganda in Europe





Portugal – Supported Biafra

Portugal controlled São Tomé and Príncipe (then a colony), which were used as air bases.

How Portugal helped:

Allowed Biafran relief and arms flights from São Tomé

Offered diplomatic support

Provided a route for foreign journalists to cover the war



Summary of Alignments

Pro-Nigeria

🇬🇧 Britain

🇷🇺 Soviet Union

🇪🇬 Egypt

🇺🇸 United States (unofficially)


Pro-Biafra

🇫🇷 France

🇵🇹 Portugal

🇨🇮 Ivory Coast

🇬🇦 Gabon

🇿🇦 South Africa (indirectly)



In summary, the war has nothing to do with Ojukwu, it was simply a genocide masterminded by the Western Forces to destabilize Nigeria and Control The Crude oil Resources in the Biafran Region.


So next time, don't use your tribal biased mindset in discussing History. ...it makes you look so unreasonable.

16. The Biafran Genocide (1967-1970)
Over 3 Million Biafrans were massacred, mostly the Igbos by the Nigerian Federal Government Military Troops with the support of the 3 World Powers (UK, RUSSIA and US) due to their strategic interest in the Crude Oil resources in the Biafran Region .....now known today as Niger- Delta Region and South Eastern Region of Nigeria..

naijacann:

No it was 6 million and they were not killed but rather starved to death by their own evil government who wanted to weaponize their sufferings to bring about a truce, global sympathy and support.

But it all failed.
