When human beings are talking, ppl like U who get worse treatment when compared to cows come out to make noise too.
A typical northern muslim girl is beneath a cow,she is sold in "marriage" to be continously defiled by her grandfather 's age mate as soon as she starts menstruating, she has no say in who to marry or not marry.
See this child bride ooo.
When some of us say all of U are boko haram,unintelligent ppl will accuse us generalising.

No wonder over 3million lives were wasted.

How can you face T72 tanks with cassava sticks?

If this is heroism to some people, it is sheer stupidity from the point of view of more rational minds.


When a country hates you, you fight with what u have.

Just like the rest of nija hates the igbos and want to drown them or exclude them as they have always done in the north.

Results is all that matters... smiley anybody group that tries Seceding again, the Nigeria Army would crush that group...

On November 19, 1967 mercenaries from the Soviet Union and United Arab Republic flying MiG-17s began bombing areas around Onitsha, devastating the civilian population. In December 1967 the Nigerian 2nd Division and 6th Battalion under Gen. Murtala Mohammed crossed the Niger River at Idah and stationed in Enugu.

On January 2, 1968 the Nigerians moved towards Onitsha in a two pronged attack launched from two axes. The 2nd Division rolled through Biafran held territory including numerous towns and cities. On January 19 Nigerian troops attacked and occupied Awka, giving the 2nd Division a direct route to Onitsha. The Biafran 11th Division under Maj. Joseph Achuzie fought fiercely against the Nigerians and managed to hold them off for over 3 months before Abagana was captured on March 20 followed by Onitsha less than 24 hours later.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Invasion_of_Onitsha



We all know the end story. 10,000 FG troops massacred in four days tryng to capture onitsha. Estimated 500,000 FG troops in 3 years trying to defeat biafra. Congrats Nigeria

I wonder why some people are saying they held Nigerian Army for 2 years. The Nigerian Army were looking at them as Nigerians hence their reason for trying to suppress them without much blood shed. Can't people remember that aids were sent to the Biafrans even during the said war? But when Awolowo went to convince Ojukwu to bring the war to an end, Awolowo noticed that the food meant to be given to the civilians were diverted to feed the soldiers alone, he said rather giving foods meant for the civilians to the soldiers that were killing our soldiers, then it should stop. Ojukwu also made the war look like religious war but the Vatican saw that Gowon was a Christian, they knew it was lie. With all these drama, did they really hold back Nigerian Soldiers? Nigerian army were holding back but when they saw Ojukwu's arrogance, they decided to unleash wrath on the Biafran soldiers.

Well,we are ok with anything that entails corrupting the yoruba blood with igbo's thus making a hybrid less dirty,more docile and anti-yoruba than others...Talk about economic domination AND genotypical AND phenotypical domination of the igbos over the southwasterners.

In d near future pple in d NE will also start calling Shekau a hero too
Just goes 2 show how idiotic_dese pple are


Stupidiity is a terrible thing. Do you people think that if Ojukwu had caused the deaths of millions of Igbos for nothing, he would still be hailed as a hero today by the vast majority of Igbos? It was Nigeria that caused the death of millions not Ojukwu. Ojukwu simply led his people in a war to get their God given right to freedom. The same Ojukwu,went on numerous peace missions before and during the war and all he asked is for the world to ask eastern Nigerians, through a plebiscite or referendum, if they want to be Nigerian or not. Is it by force to be a Nigerian? It was Gowon and the Northern oligarchy in collaboration with Yorubas who caused the deaths of millions and every true discerning Igbo man or south-south man knows this. My brother, it is not by force to be a Nigerian.

Confederacy and Secession were not in the agreement in 1957 when they were deliberating on the new republic (Nigeria)... Awolowo wanted that but Azikwe and majority of the house had their way. There should have been a clause that allows individual regions to break away if they are not happy BUT the clause was not included (Awolowo wanted a break away clause but it did NOT happen).

Thanks for this but you got off track somewhere. Ojukwu went for confederacy. Have you not heard about Aburi accord

biafra all the time on nairaland..What do we gain self by invoking insult or calling another ethnic group a slave..the fact is the war was fought over 30yrs ago, we should forget about What happened in the past and learn the moral lesson n face the future.we come here and condemn xenophobia and yet we insult other ethnic group.. Nigeria is not the only country with over 250ethic group, other countries have more and they live peacefully.. I think the thing we should focus in is our economy our country and look at the meaningful development and the corruption going on,Look at the backwardness of our country, I've been to the north, south, west and east and yet we are still lacking..one question I want to ask u When did u see or hear obama or even Ghanaian president commissioning a road project or a borehole..It's Nigeria you would hear a governor after finishing is unmeritted tenure He would jump to the Senate or become a Godfather and start looking for successor or decamp into another party for further greener pasture .. this is very bad for our generation and our future,, I want to implore my igbo brothers to forget about the biafra and face the challenges there state are having and Nigeria as a whole.let love one another and forget about this ethnicity.let not orubebelize our country

May we always try to resolve things through dialogue rather than wars. What a waste of handsome men, and waste of Nigeria's future.

Being an Igbo man/woman makes one a STAR by default in Nigeria. We are the centre of attraction. The HausaFulanis and their Yorubas slaves can't stop watching their backs even forty years after the war. God simply made us a higher specie. That's why we move like a Train with the speed of light. They can't simply fathom how we do what we do. Its the Lords doing and its marvelous in their eyes.

Doesn't it beat your imagination that forty years after the war and forty years of HausaFulanis ruling and ruining the contraption called nigeria the north remains the poorest region, with half of their population engaged in their best known profession, begging arms with leprosy hands.

Doesn't it beat your imagination that forty years after the war irrespective of all awolowo did to suppress the progress of Ndigbo after the war, Ndigbo lives in better part of lagos and eats well cooked three square meals daily while yorubas live in boys quarters and drink garri all day.

My advice to yorubas is this. If you so hate the Igbo man for being blessed, do what your father awolowo did; HANG YOURSELVES.
A
What pains them most is that the hausa / Fulani and their South West slaves have all been busy looting d country dry since independence, yet d Igbo man will ruggedly retrieve d loot from them thru economic activities.
Thumbs up too all d Igbo guys/babes out there,we're way too rugged.

Pictured are Biafra "soldiers" undergoing routine drills at a military training camp near Owerri in August 1968 during the Civil War. After the Igbos claimed to have suffered through years of suppression under Nigeria’s military government, the breakaway state of Biafra proclaimed its independence from Nigeria which led to the infamous war between Nigeria and Biafra in July 1967.
