If you cannot understand the simple act of Biafran surrender to Nigeria, how could you understand the intrigue surrounding the "assistance and moral support by certain countries as oppose to military and political support Nigeria received from Britain, USSR, Canada, Australia, Cameroon, Niger, Chad, Egypt, Arab League of Nations?

the pictures in the link below show they got more than assistance and moral support. They got military support too. forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=179878

It is an established fact that Nigeria lost more soldiers than Biafra during the war. A former Biafran soldier told me that Nigeria was Biafra's biggest supplier of weapons. Dead soldiers cant shoot. Any outside help had minimal effect.

chaii!!! LoL....these boys won't kill me......so those were the support the biafrans got? I wish the federal troops got what the biafrans got while the biafrans got what the federal troops got then maybe we won't be talking about the biafrans loosing the war......most countries that supported either did so through relief materials,food and probably ammunitions....but not in the scale in which the british and the russians supported the nigerian troops......having mercenary support doesn't mean a battalion of soldiers would be used.but their expertise.....having a mercenary could mean one,two or even 3 soldiers....so stop talking as if they supported as if they backed us 100%......am still waiting for the GERMANS,sPANISH,ITALIANs.......that supported the biafrans.....

pls be honest for once. I gave you proof from OBJ's book and wikipedia about the countries that supported biafra, you claimed they did but not militarily. I provided pictures from a link to buttress the fact that they did militarily and all you can say is the above trash? Na wah for you o! Just accept defeat once and for all.

there are ways to leave a union....if am right, to leave a union both sides must agree and then go thru the legal way as agreed....i will still repeat what i said earlier that ojukwu rushed into the decision to declare a section of a country independent.

Pls answer this correctly, Was there Aburi accord or not ?

When you lost 3mm women and children alone, where do you think the men went to?

They were dancing in the village square and drinking palm wine or they were sent to the world of no return.

Keep your lies to yourselves. You were resoundingly defeated.

Make sure you have Biafra in your topic if you want your thread to grow.

Not exactly bro!
I did not up Biafra on the topic so as to grow the thread.

I just raised an important issue.

Nigerians rallied round Gowon to crush Biafra, instead of sabotaging him and calling him names,

But here we are, they tackle Jonathan,left right and center..
Complain about every move he he makes and blame and yet blame him for the activities of Boko haram,

Was Gowon blamed for the activities of Ojukwu?

let me refresh your mind once again if you didn't actually read the post and source you sent to me.......the reason for the mercenary was as a result of the kind of training they had in Guerrilla warfare which the prestigious SANDHURST didn't provide.sandhurst was among the best military training school around then which gowon,and ojukwu had the privilege to attend......they knew that they couldn't stand the army which had enormous support from britain,russia.....so they had to fight using that method hence the need for these mercenaries.....the so called GERMANS you referred to was actually an individual who didn't have the backing of his country as you have made us to believe.....most of these mecenaries came on their own....without the support of their countries...there was even a british dude who fought on the side of the biafrans......but for to write GERmans,spanish,italians like as if they supported like the british did to the federal troops shows its either you didn't completely understand what you read or you are trying to be mischievous.....and please be careful when replying me....I don't know what you mean by "trash"...or do you think am ignorant about the things that happened?

u provided pictures of MERCENARIES.......the americans "supported" the israelis in the 1948 war of independence......but didn't provide any form of military support not until the arab israeli war of 1973.......and for your info,the jews smuggled american jewish pilots to fight during the 1948 war.....does it mean america supported them militarily because they used american mercenaries?? U are obviously ignorant to say the least......I have read volumes of materials about the war and you are here trying to misinform people by saying "because they had italians,germans,spanish,isreali mecenary,it then means biafra was helped militarily by their countries of origin".......I can't help but laugh

Why did you not declare Biafra under Ironsi?

In Your usual greed, you were enjoying the unitary system you created through your coup that killed the leaders of other regions, to control everybody else, before the counter coup.

If there was no coup, there would not be a counter coup, there would not be mocking of the deads by your people that led to the pogrom and there will not be a declaration of secession, talk less of Aburi meeting.

I've provided you with pictures of the military support you got. What else do you want?

This thread is being derailed folks!

I asked a simple question:
nigerians supported Gowon to crush the Biafran rebellion, why is Jonathan not being supported to crush Boko Haram?

It is on record that at his declaration of state of emergency, somebody said, he had declared war on the north!

Why the hypcrisy?

are ibos supporting jonathan to quench boko haram? When that australian mention ihejirika and all nigerians called for his head, we all know how you guys fought tooth and nail to ensure he was not probed, GEJ also didn't act like he heard. So stop being hypocritical. When stealer oduah was proven to be corrupt, we still remember the role ndigbo played. You expect nigerians to support a clueless president who fails to nab corrupt officials to stop boko haram who is better equipped?

Who executed the coup?

Who was the benefactor of the coup, that became president?

Why was any Igbo leader not killed in the coup? ---- One was with a visiting Ambassador and the other was on an unending medical trip.

Igbo nation is the pillar of Goodluck Jonathan's support.

Ihejirika has taken the Austraria to court.
let him come and prove his case that Ihejiririka was sponsring Shekau.

I still remember that the North was accusing Ihejirika of genocide based on his tough stand against Boko Haram.
You are the hypocrites.

the sensible thing to do is to verify the australian's claims. Did GEJ do that? Yet you expect nigerians to support a president that doesn't take action.

it is an issue because it a divisive statement which shouldn't come from a president except he's clueless.

I tire for dem o.

Their fathers and uncles have lied to them, in their bid to save their cowardly faces.

bakynes:
The bottom line is Ojukwu should have seek for a peaceful separation instead of declaring another territory under the Nigerian Nation. It's an act of War he was fore warned but he didn't listen. So why blame Gowon and the Nigerian people for throwing their weight behind him.

Why accuse GEJ of "war on the north" for declaring state of emergence in the NE?
Why accuse GEJ of human rights violation when he ordered an invasion of the NE?

eighTHREAD:
What about all the budget for security?
do you think nigerians aren't exposed to the history of the civil war? Obasanjo, in his book MY COMMAND, listed all the countries that fought in support of biafra likewise those that supported nigeria, so stop trying to twist facts that existed before you were born, especially when they came from a man(OBJ) that fought in the war and also accepted the letter of surrender from the biafrans

definitely not the bigotted there was a country.

the soldiers fought and defeated biafra and ojukwu and not ordinary civilians who only wished them well. Do you expect civilians to pick up arms against boko haram? The vigilantes that have such have been frustrated by the government of GEJ.

ii don't support the killings but when your people were killing their leaders and making jest out of the act in their own land by throwing up cartoons and making bread labels with such, dancing In public in the north, what did your leaders do? Did they caution them? Stop playing the saint here.

which leaders? Name names. GEJ has the police, NSCDC, army, navy, airforce, etc yet he's unable to make a single arrest. That shows he's actually the one sabotaging his government. His state of emergency bore no fruit other than worsen the matter. You guys like to claim APC sponsors boko haram but fail to view this angle: how can they sponsor insurgents to disrupt the peace in a region that is their stronghold and where they expect to get more votes? Just doesn't add up.

Stop reasonning through your anus.

In 2011, Buhari promised to make this country ungovernable for GEJ if he(Buhari) losses the election.

True to his words, he engaged BH after he lost.

The same group of terrorists nominated him (Buhari) as their representative to broker a truce with the FG.

Today, the same Buhari is telling us that he will talk to his boys if elected president and their terrorist activities will stop.

For me, BH is a grand plan and strategy to stop GEj; and it will never happen.

shekau is not the president of nigeria....jonathan is the president so the blame goes to him

Was Ojukwu president of Nigeria?

I asked you how the igbos enjoyed the UNITARY system and you are talking about the coup........who was more senior in the army to aguiyi ironsi? Remember the igbos pre 1966 were many in the civil service........answer my question....

The funny thing is that the hausa\fulani whom the igbos wanted to seperate from aren't even talking as much as their brothers in the SW..........them come carry am for head.......now the same thing is repeating it self again.......buhari and osibanjo.....and the same SW is preaching the gospel like as if the presidency has been zoned to them......if eventually buhari wins and decided to set the country ablaze,they would as usual try to look for who to blame.....the igbo's
