You don't know history. The Igbos were the most educated then, which made them thrive beyond the eastern region. From day one, the Fulani north were not comfortable with the Igbos. So at what point did the Igbos get into alliance with the North?

Most educated and still went ahead with the first coup. Still went ahead to kill the northern/southwest leaders and their wives

Guy, stop barking up the wrong tree. I am a northerner

Your hatred for your fellow Yorubas brothers is non of my business. Go and meet them

Jayhome24:

Biafra occurred, yes.

Ojukwu started it, yes.

Biafra soldiers crossed the line to SW supporting it instead of facing the North, yes.

Ojukwu went to a war nobody send him and no referedm done that permitted him to take up arms against the govt, yes.

Over 3 million innocent souls perished over what they knew nothing about, yes.

Pls wht truth again do you want to know?

You insisted on Biafra yet still want obi of all people from SE to become Nigeria president is that not a child play nwanem. I said it here if you want Biafra stay on that course, stop doing and joining Nigeria politics, tell obi to

Oya bitter lemons start firing your insults and threatens I wan laugh small.

I'm not tribalistic, but historical discussions should be balanced. It's too easy to place all the blame on Gowon while ignoring the mistakes made by Biafran leaders and the realities of the war. The Eastern Region leadership chose secession despite several attempts at negotiation, and that decision contributed to a conflict that cost countless lives on all sides.

History is rarely a story of one side being completely right and the other completely wrong. Rather than blaming Gowon alone, there should also be honest reflection on the decisions made by Biafra's leadership and how those choices affected ordinary Nigerians, including the Igbo people themselves.

Lanre1st:
Let us bredth,

Must everybody talk in your favour, Biafra also not right with the agitation. How will revolutionist comparise only Igbo soldier, and kill Hausa and Yoruba leaders but spare their tribe leaders (the likes of Nnamdi Azikwe) and call it revolution.

The war has been declared as no victor, no losser. Let move

Real2088:
After reading comments here,I became partially sad but so happy immediately I remembered the state of Kwara and Oyo..una must learn hardly ..Dem go knack una mama to Glory as una don choose the ways of una evil fathers,As for Gowon he would leave to see and testify the goodness of God in his home town ..The Chicken is roosting home but almighty Gowon couldn't raise soldiers [color=#770077][/color]

Both of them are to be blamed actually. Gowon threw away the Aburi accord because the British told him,if it is signed,the North will suffer for 600years. Remember it was the North that wanted to first leave in July 66 before the British told them not too. As they were already shouting "Araba"

Gowon already prepared a seccssion speech before he had to edit it away the following day.

Also Ojukwuc saw the war as an opportunity for him to grab the oil producing areas into his Biafra. If he never did, believe me,there might have been no war

The War wasn't a war of unity per say,It was a war of Oil

if only aburi accord was followed, if only the killings of all igbo on the north was stopped by gowon,, ojukwu wouldn't have gone to the point if taking from asaba to orhe, resulting into the war
