Omohhh I no reach 40yrs n I dong loss like a dozen... And that war was like donkey years ago..
If you have a wound, do you go peeling it wen it's still not totally healed or u wait till it has healed well then u go picking it ?

I have a brother hear in Uruan that said his dad was killed by biafran troops, he has not healed, so now if u bring up videos of d war it will renew the hate he has for igbos

When the Biafra started the war they don't know their would be consequences from the war. The people killed in asaba, Edo and ore have Biafra apologized to them?
The Biafrans were rebels. Shouldn't your government have a higher standard than rebels?

The same Murtala Mohammed that led the massacre was himself wasted by bullets fired from the gun of Dimka years later.
Na so life be, my brother.

See comments about the massacre of innocent civilians. A lot of people on this nairaland are simply too evil to be human. Anyway, I guess evil is part of humanity.

That was a socalled civil war that was fought by some federal forces as a Jihad.
Mohammed Muritalla the Jihadist of Asaba massacre was elevated by Nigeria as a matyr after the war.

On October 7th 1967, during the Nigerian Civil War federal troops entered Asaba in present-day Delta State and killed hundreds of civilians men and boys who had come out in peace to welcome Nigerian troops and pledge loyalty to One Nigeria.

Nah lie..

100s of Biafra soldiers that raw away to Asaba to off their military uniforms and acted like a civilian..
If it's true, may their blood seek revenge from you and your family.

So pray it's truly a lie

Read this slowly. If an armed robber kills an innocent person, it's wrong. If a policeman kills an innocent person, it's wrong. But it's more shocking when a policeman does it, because we expect more from him than a common criminal. Biafran crimes were wrong. Federal crimes were wrong. But I expected more from the federal people they were the government.

Who am even explaining to? You can't comprehend any of this. You'll be fine.

Let him mourn in peace if he’s being sincere to himself , and allow those that want to mourn theirs to mourn in peace as well..

No hard feelings..

Wickedfacts:
In parts of Okrika in Rivers state, they still have cultural festivals she where they celebrate the defeat of Biafra. These are people who were buried alive by Biafrans. Their only offence was that they weren't Igbos.

The reason this boy is typing this thing is because Ojukwu wasn't punished.
That No Victor, No Vanquished statement by Gowon made these Biafrans think we have forgotten the atrocities they committed.
Be a good citizen and kindly be a man and tell us your state and region of origin,thanks.

Yes and their son was actually the major cause of the civil war. Kaduna nzeogwu was from there.

That's the same with biafran families killed by Nigerian troops. His dad also killed biafrans so nothing special

Re: Asaba Massacre: Nigeria Remembers, 59 Years On by Jayhome24: 11:21am On Oct 10
Is there is any fact to actually confirmed they are civilians or just runaway trouble makers Biafra soldiers?

I don't think any Army in his or her right sense will deliberately massacre innocent civilians in such commando style withouth any reason?

Pls I understand Asagba King position but is there any fact to substantiate this claim? If there are evidence to support this then they should accept Obj apology but tasking Tinubu to apologise for wht he knew nothing about and was never a soldier will sound almost impossible cus Gej was there for 6 years you never asked him for apology so why Tinubu?

War is bad infact it evil, really sad it happened yet the culprits still not learning a lesson.

Murtala Mohammed and Ibrahim Taiwo masterminded that heinous crime against humanity and they both died a cruel, violent death at the peak of their careers.


We will never forget

Wahala d brew, we are still a hugely divisive country, this is not needed

All this will refresh n deepen d hate from years back, the fact that you could go sit out n be talking one moment in Ghana, and be back the next day doing body counts in millions
This is deliberately to whip up emotions for a region to vote their own in the coming elections.

Nice strategy. Awesome timing.

Terrible consequences on a long term basis for the unity of the country.

So by your inference Biafra are the armed robber or criminal policeman right? So fg should apologize to criminals! why? Apology to people you described as criminals o☹️
