Or all of a sudden history is no longer palatable to you guys that have spent the last 10ys dishing out your lies.

Well, we will not forget your own atrocities which you are all hell bent on repeating.

Even looking at the madness that the likes of Gentile de Yahoo unleashed on his own people in Orsu and Okigwe should give you an insight on how evil and barbaric your Biafran agitators are.


If they can commit the most atrocious acts on their own people, what will then do on us in the SS?

That's why it is very important to never forget what your people did because it gives us a glimpse into what you are planning to restart.
U are a funny guy but i know ur agenda, i know what the apc ronuu are trying hard to do grin but it is dead on arrival grin

U left ur people at the mercies of the fulani bandits to start a campaign of calumny against the igbo's and trying to steer up ancient hatred for people who are united to driving the iragbiji fraud outtt of office and back to his village after showing nigerians shege promax. undecided

U will not forget what happen in 1960 but u will forget the fulani bandits that are kidnapping and beheading ur people in ur presense undecided grin

My friend your agenda is the same exact thing with that of the fulani .

The fact you even cheer on the ongoing genocide and population displacement of Palestinians exposes your intentions.

What of the latest IPUB lobby calling in Trump to come and create your Biafra with the entire SS annexed to it?

You think we are fools ?

Why did they attacked MW region?
Their plan was to make MW region part of the funny biafra, which is even Portuguese name.

The name Biafra is from a 16th century Kingdom in Cameroon around the Atlantic coast. Portuguese explorers named the curved Atlantic coastline from the Atlantic Ocean tributary called River Nun (in today's Bayelsa) to Cape Lopez in Gabon Gabon as the Bight of Biafra.

Irony1:
Show me the order that Ojukwu gave to kill 19 federal soldiers. Again it is war if it is soldiers Ojukwu orderd to be killed then it is not a war crime. Again you have still not shown any documented evidence of attacks on Efik, Ibibio and Ijaw communities and how they were able to identify that these were biafran forces when they didn't even know their insignia because biafran forces were taking clothing and weapons of Nigerian army. Also it is important to note that Alabi-Isama admitted in his book that they carried out numerous false flag operations on minority areas in Biafran colours to sway opinion of minorities against Biafran army
Your demand for specific evidence is justified. The research chapter “The Forgotten Victims: Ethnic Minorities in the Nigeria-Biafra War, 1967-1970” documents Biafran persecution of the Efik, Ibibio, and Ijaw peoples, who suffered “persecution, molestation, injustice, psychological torture, and other forms of suffering.” Ojukwu’s revenge-framed order—not a war crime in isolation—signals intent to escalate violence, a contributing factor to war crimes. However, I haven’t read Alabi-Isama’s book to verify his alleged admission of false flag operations.

Point of correction, we Igbos love ourselves. Your lies and propaganda was as a result of what I call "state sponsored terrorism" and, Lagos Ibadan gutter press were the tool they used to propagate the lie you are telling us now.

We are not daft we know exactly what happened in our land. They made it like IPOB and Esn are terrorists.
So you mean all the things and propaganda nnamdi Kanu said about other people and the vivid hate and treason he also show is also a lie and I didn’t watch him on radio Biafra? You people will die will victim mentality and it’s a big shame imagine calling Lagos and Ibadan gutter press what do we call radio Biafra ??
You love yourselves and didn’t order the killing and burning of chioma Amarlysis, the ex girlfriend of nnamdi Kanu that he ordered her killing ??
He didn’t order for the sit at home or he never said anybody that comes out that day will be kpaied?? He didn’t say he will bring the head of buhari ?? It’s also Yoruba propagandahuh Sometimes when some of you talk you sound very slow, blame games every day everytime and whenever they talk about you people you'd defend your own errors and are very quick to point fingers to other people, work on yourself please, later you’d say Yoruba are your haters just like that when you’re the ones that have segregation even among your states Which kind of dirty love do you say you have for each other don’t we see how you people treat yourselves

Beacuse you people used my people as human shield- it’s why up till today nobody from anioma(expect stupid Ned Nwoko) will ever identify as Igbo- from Agbor to Umunede down Asaba you(Biafra) used my people as human shield…Forget the stories, we lived it, my parents lived it, and they told us the stories-it was pure horror.
Okay your yoruba and fulanis soldiers that gathered Asaba people and massacre them used them as what?

I read that write up and there were lot of holes in the dates they claimed the incidences occurred. The dates they mentioned at that time the federal army had driven the Biafran army away from that territory. Also for them to say this it lends credence to Alabi-Isama's confession in his book that the Nigeria. Army carried out false flag operations in minority areas using Biafran colors to cause hatred within the minority areas.

Before the Nigerian Civil War, Eastern minorities—such as the Ijaw, Efik, and Ibibio—felt marginalized by the Igbo-dominated government of Eastern Nigeria. Fearing political domination, they pushed for a separate state, which led to the Willink Commission’s inquiry in 1957 and growing demands for self-determination. So the Nigerian army did not make them hate the Biafran soldiers.

Regarding Alabi-Isama’s account, his book does not record any claim that the Nigerian army carried out false flag operations. However, he did admit that Biafra’s greatest blunder was the invasion of the Midwest—a region that was not part of Igbo territory. In my view, Ojukwu’s greed and expansionist ambitions were the main clandestine reasons he dragged his people into a senseless war.

A few days ago, I watched a BBC documentary on Biafra and the Nigerian Civil War. A woman from one of the minority ethnic groups in Nigeria’s South-South region described how Biafran soldiers attacked her village, burning and killing her blind grandmother. Her grandmother couldn’t escape because she was blind. That was a war crime.

Which atrocities did biafrans even commit in the south south u are talking about here?
Google Nowa Omoigui, may e pa's soul rest in peace, and go through his well researched articles on what "atrocities" the occupying Biafran army commited in Benin.

And I can tell you that, comprehensive as they were, there were other stores that were simply too gruesome to put down in print.

I will never stop saying it, the fact that Ndigbo are still in Benin city till today is a testament to the magnanimity of Ivbiedo.

Oga I can bet 100% that you never read Alabi's book. Again even the Willink's commission report which I bet you never read before stated that all the claims of marginalization were not substantiated and lacked merit.
Again Ojukwu had no expantionist agenda in fact the blunder of Victor Banjo by halting in Ore and settling the division in Benin was the problem. Note that Ojukwu asked Banjo that "what are you doing in Ore" that halting of the advance made the Nigerian army regroup and go on the counter offensive.

Why is it that you lots (including rose bassey) don't like talking about the Asaba massacre?
Those people that were murdered in Asaba by Nigerian army are they not humans?

Besides, how do we know that, it was actually Biafran army that did that?
Do you know what led to the Asaba?
Biafra had engaged in 2 Genocides before that.
Biafra slaughtered all the Northerners that they found in the Midwest
Then Biafra slaughtered all people not from their Tribe all the way from Ore in the Western Region until they hot to Agbor along the Biafran Army withdrawal route

Biafran Army reached Agbor and committed another massacre
They slaughtered everyone they found in Agbor who was not from their own Tribe

You have come again with your Upper-Iweaka pseudo intellectual revisionist nonsense.

Well, this your version of the origins of Biafra is still better than other Ibo pseudo intellectuals who claimed it was coined from two Ibo words : Bia and Fra in a bid to claim the waters and entire coastal areas along the bight as Ibo territory.

FYI, the word Biafra originated from the name given to the adjacent Atlantic ocean.

The original name being Bight of Mafra and it was coined by Portuguese slavers who had a rallying port off the coast of Cameroun which they named after a Portuguese city, Mafra.

On early Portuguese maps, it was shortened to Bi.Mafra just as island will be written on maps in shorthand as Isle .

Over the years, these waters came to be known as Biafra !

Your entire perspective on history is flawed.

Also, those states were in mid-western region by the time The Biafra war started.

All these are just useless made up propaganda name one community in the south south where it was documented biafran soldiers massacred 100 civilians in just one day?
Benin City might not have lost 100 in one day but the daily systematic brutalisation of the locals, as well as random killings which numbered more than that 100, over the period of illegal occupation by the Biafran army was as worse a pain as anyone else suffered during the war.

So? At least it was Ojukwu and others who chose the name Biafra. In the case of you Nigerians, none of you where there when Lugards wife came up with the name "Nigeria", and Lugard imposed that colonial slave name on you all

Let’s not reduce this to “who read what.” Debate the facts, not my library.
The Willink report didn’t say marginalization had “no merit”—it said specific claims weren’t fully substantiated at the time, and it recommended safeguards precisely because they saw potential problems. On Banjo: yes, the halt was costly, but Ojukwu’s question shows he wanted Banjo to push on, not that he lacked ambition. So we actually agree on the military mistake—just not on the politics behind it.

No, I did not miss any part of her interview. The same woman's name is Rose Hogan Bassey (she joined the Nigerian army in 1968 during the civil war). She never said that Benjamin Adekunle ordered the summary execution of her tribe's people.

Our point is that the Igbo must stop playing the victims of the Nigerian civil war. The minorities whom Biafran soldiers raped, maimed, and killed have moved on. We have never heard them castigating the Igbo online or offline for the crimes committed against them. We all lost loved ones during the war.

Something that cannot be substantiated can not lack merit. Also Ojukwu's push to Lagos was a tactical gamble he knew that with the killing of igbo officers the Nigerian army was short of infantry leaders so a quick advance into Lagos would send them to panic mode and force them to abandon their positions for Banjo to consolidate his hold on Lagos, even in the art of war speed is important that formed the basis of the blitzkrieg strategy used by the German Werhmacht during WW2. This made them conquer France in 2 weeks despite the fact that France had more manpower and the benefit of the colonial Tiraleurs. The politics there was clear dislodge the north from East and West. Staying put in Benin and Ore gave the Nigerian army time to reorganise and mount a counter offensive and to me that was Banjo's costly mistake.
