When you have billionaires in a sea of poverty like in Northern Nigerian states, then there is foul play. I can't name a single billionaire from Norway because they are so few, how can Nigeria have more billionaires than Norway? Dia ris God oh!

Norway's population = 5.084 million
Nigeria's population = 173.6 million
*Approximate Population of northern Nigeria = 86.8 million

Do the logic...

You can't name them does not mean there are no billionaires in Norway. In fact, they have billionaires. Nigeria is a bigger country with larger resources than Norway. We don't even have enough billionaires.

you lost over 2 million people not to talk of those unaccounted for, tell me why did Ojukwu your leader run away if you Igbo were really winning the war? The major victories you people had was as a result if a Yoruba military tactician called Banjo who lead your military against federal troops during the war & you people stated losing the war immediately you invaded a Yoruba town called Ore in ondo state, the invasion made several Yoruba's to enlist in the military on the side of the Federal government & they counter attacked your Igbo troops in Ore & killed thousands of them in battle & that was the major reason you lost the war, another reason is that Ojukwu killed Banjo. Not to forget; France & 5 other countries supported the Igbo's & supplied them with the most sophisticated weapons they have at that time, machineries were also purring into Biafra from south Africa & eastern Europe to train & fight on the Biafran side, the federal government were still shipping & transporting food, water etc to Biafra during the war till Awolowo later stopped it as the Igbo's failed to stop fighting. These are part of the reasons the Igbo lost the war & that same mistake has stated again as they are always going after the Yoruba's not knowing that the Yoruba's are waiting for them to make the same mistake they made by attacking them first & the Yoruba's will be justified to teach them another hard lesson that they may never get over. You people truncated the first democracy in Nigeria & killed Sarduna of Sokoto & Amadu Bello both Hausa men, Akintola a Yoruba man & an Edo man but failed to kill any of your people as you Igbo's told Zik & your other leaders to flee because you enjoyed killing other tribes abi! Awolowo would have been killed if not that he was in prison then.

To all those saying it is silly to fight a war with sticks... I have one question:

How come the Nigerian army had more casualities than the biafran army?

that is something to ponder. That they were called the greatest black army was for a reason you'd never understand... or as some of you say it is silly... yet again... Nigeria was unable to overcome them in the touted 3 weeks... (and out of frustration started bombing civilians and imposed an illegal blockaide...)

You lily livered tribe can continue jesting... real mem don't say much, they say...

Don't worry about the 'attaching'. If you look at the map of the first Biafran republic, the Edos,Urhobos and Itsekiri were not part of it. They were in the mid-west region. This time around, us Igbos are not forcing anyone to join us. What we ask is that everyone be given the opportunity to decide where they belong. If the Itsekiris,Urohbos Ibibios,Efiks,Anangs,Ijaws say they want to be Nigerians or Niger-Delta republic,us Igbos will accept. Unlike Nigeria, Biafra is not "by force". All we are saying is that everyone be given a 'say' as to what they want and if you feel that no one including your people should have a say then you're a f00l.

Bros mechie onu biko.
Why do you say Nigeria has more resources than Norway?
What do you think is resources you have?
For your information the greatest resource any nation or person can boast of is human capital or human resources. Have you asked yourself why small Scandinavian nations like Norway keep churning out very high GDP per capita than countries like Nigeria,Saudi Arabia and the rest of those countries in OPEC?
What do you think makes Japan the 3rd largest economy on earth today?
Nigeria for your information is still deficient in resources that make a nation great and for her to be on the path of greatness entails building and developing its human resource endowment as this is the only veritable resource that has made and will continue to make any nation that has it great.

it seems like you don't understand that the Biafran army was not up to a million, talkless half of a million... the 3 million dead were civilians... women, children... even a red cross plane that provides medical care to civilians was being shot at... you call Biafrans "enemies" ... so I guess that is why you justify a food blockaide... and you probably wish all Igbos will be wiped off the face of the earth... nah eye we use dey look una shaa

These beasts of a sold "nation" believe the entire Biafran enterprise is completely invested in the image of Col. Ojukwu. He did well as a leader and had faults as well which are acknowledged, but he is not the end all and be all of Biafra. Remember that well, and you will live a healthier life.

Or not.

Who cares. Lol.

heediot, ur people go around tarnishing the image of nigeria, u do illegial stuff all in the name of hustling, all 60% of all the prostitutes in Nigeria are igbos

i dont know how u can be proud of losing a war, u surrendered, ur father ran away (ojukwu)

i dont knw wat u have achieved, u igbos are a bunch of losers,

WAT DA FUC..K IS A BIAFRA, SILLY BOGUS PEEPS
can you justify your statement that 60% of the prostitutes in Nigeria are igbos? Won't be surprise if you're Hausa (from the north) cos your religion has wipe out your sense of reasoning, is a known fact that northern women are automatically slaves, they don't talk neither do they contribute to the development of the country rather they exist as acquired commodities /property of their husbands whose only role is to hatch children like fowls and can't even step out of the house without their husband's permission (modern slavery) and yet the so-called husbands add additional 3 or 4 wives to the already existing loyal slave wife. Name just 2 hausa women that have contributed to the development of Nigeria and I will name Oby Ezekwesili, Ngozi konjo-iwualA, Chimamanda Ngozi.....e.t.c (I'm only just starting cos the list goes go) and oh....before I forget the first and only female gov. In nigeria was also from Igbo (Anambra-state gov.) And why won't you refer to them as prostitutes since as slave northern women once you see independent / brave igbo women the spirit of inferiority complex in you gets activated ,Besides we all know northern women are pretenders, they wear their long jalabiya (or whatever they call those their long gowns) and still prostitute, smoke and steal from boutiques and supermarket....you all can only deceive those that have never been or lived in the north (seen all their pretentious ways).....nowadays they don't wear their long gowns with all their bodies covered up to boutiques and big outlets cos of the embarrassment they get as thieves. I pity all northern women....slaves without a voice and yet they are dying inside.

Give us better A.K47 today and count Nigeria as history.
I usually laugh at some people who talk as if only Biafrans suffered loss during the war. My dad was a gallant soldier in that war. He fought at different parts including Onne in Rivers state, yet he came back without even a bullet wound. He's always telling us stories of how they dealt with Nigerian soldiers on their several attempts to capture Onne.

Do you even know the population of Japan? Whether you like to admit it or not Nigeria is more resource rich than Norway and we have more population. Nigeria should compete with countries like Germany not Norway.
Can you develop what you don't have? It is a fact that there are more Nigerians than Norwegians.

This, to me, sounds like an excuse.

A very poor and pointless excuse that a weak man gives...

You go home with two black eyes you got from being in a fight, and when they ask you, you say its because you are not inclined to hurting people lol...

The Nigerian army lost more men than that of the Biafrans, and its because they didn't want to commit genocide is a lie and you know it. Nothing you say can save face, you were unable to conquer men with sticks and stones. Period.

If you (Nigerian army) did not want to commit genocide, why were they bombing market places?

What goes "killing everything that moves" on entering Igbo land mean?

I don't like it when people tell bold face lies. its annoying.
