Those same troops that stopped biafra at ore did little or nothing besides shedding tears when it mattered most, when the field Marshall of yoruba land, the Aare ona kakanfo ,Obasanjo, Oladipo Diya, and other yoruba generals were hounded, arrested like teenagers ,condemned to death by hanging and kept in custody. The comments here by some people show a one sided and pathetic reasoning where the same people who are yoruba first before becoming nigeria now choose to die for nigeria first and do nothing for the yoruba race 3 Likes |

revolt:Here we go down the victim sentiment again. Just shut it already. Were Ibos the only one that was malterated by the Hausa? If you must know, the yorubas were the first to ask for seccession because of how they were ill-treated by the North and East who formed allies together. The likes of Awolowo got jailed while Zik who was 10 times corrupt was painting the town red. There's also Gani Fawehinmi, the finest Nigeria politician ever who was disregarded and many more. Do you know who prevented Yoruba from leaving? Zik. The yorubas could have acted foolishly back then like the biafrans did but they chose to consider the lives of their people unlike Ojukwu did. As a matter of fact, even if the yorubas had gone to war then, I'm sure they won't invade neutral people's region as opposed to what biafrans did. If we must go back to the history lane, Yorubas ought to be the one seeking apology from Nigerians, including the ibos but we're above such. Yorubas aren't children who throws tantrum around, we're much more matured. 4 Likes 1 Share |

revolt:You are not serious. You were expecting Yorubas to plead for your stupid biafra cause when Zik was the first to stop yoruba seccession? Not to forget your people constant allies with the north to relegate the south region and you want the west to fight for you? You're an eediot. I really don't know what you were expecting from the north people when your people were killing their leaders, mocking them and making tribal comments like ''Ibos will be the one to dominate Nigerians'' or ''the future of Nigeria is in ibo hands''. If yorubas who didn't do these stupid things were ill-treated by the north/ibo leaders yet chose to avoid war because their peoples' lives are so precious, then I don't see why Ibos should. But since you people decided to act foolishily, you deserved everything you got. Let me ask you, why did your people invade the west/Benin? Shouldn't you be going to the north who had grudges against you and considering that, Banjo, a yoruba man was championing your biafra cause? If that's not selfish, backstabbing and greedy agenda, then I don't know what it is. It isn't something new though, your people are known for such things but you people have to stop playing victims when you are dealt with in your own coins. An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth! N.B: The underlined part of your post made me laugh.. I wonder what kind of tales you people got from your uncles and fore fathers? Wanted to make Awolowo the president? Where did that come from? Lol.. You mean Awolowo who would have been killed in the first coup if he wasn't jailed? You mean Ojukwu who refused to set Awolowo free while setting free his prison members during your stupid biafra wants Awolowo to be the president? You dey craze.

Biafran soldiers didn't capture Ore because of Victor Banjo's decision to delay his troops in Ore contrary to Ojukwu's instructions. Victor Banjo was busy celebrating the capture of the Mid West and declaring it an independent Mid West instead of proceeding to attack as was the original plan. |

Generally, I do not engage myself in this mindless arguments that are based on nothing but fallacies, ethnic bigotry and tribalist agendas. There is generally nothing to be gleaned or learned from such arguments because the argument often degenerates to that of 'ethnic supremacy' rather than having intelligent and enlightening discussions about historical facts which has over the years become less and less understood being distorted and macerated with many fallacious claims and quite a lot of deliberate and mischievous misrepresentations! Nigeria has failed to document its own history and in the rare instance when we do get the opportunity to get a glimpse into what actually occurred, with narratives and accounts being given by those who were there as actual participants, what often follows is that rather than listen and learn something or even prod for more information, what you typically see is this mindless argument that was just concluded (20 pages worth of mindless drivel) - not a single attempt to cross-check or cross reference information and establish truth! I have to shake my head for this generation of Nigerians! Here is an extract from the Archives of United States Army Military intelligence Report. Report is published by Marine Corps Command and Staff College. Document is dated April 1, 1984. Credited author is STAFFORD, Michael R., Major, United States Army. “One bright spot for the Biafrans appeared on July 21, 1967 when a World War II American-made B-26 bomber piloted by a Polish expatriot, called "Kamikaze" Brown, bombed and strafed Federal positions at Obukpa. This greatly lifted Biafran morale (7), but offered ominous clouds for future events. Both Great Britain and the Untied States had rejected Nigerian requests for aircraft. By July 31 Nigerian representatives were reported in Moscow (8.) and expansion of the war's lethality was imminent. (Note: Arms supply was a major part of a critical issue, outside intervention, which dominated international discussion of the Nigerian Civil War.) Another event which portended the calamities to follow was the amphibious assault on and capture of the Island of Bonny at the mouth of the Port Harcourt Harbor. This Federal operation was important for two reasons. First, it demonstrated a boldness, fluidity and imagination seldom seen in Federal operations. The Bonny assault was not remarkable in its execution; however, the operation was in marked contrast to the "skirmishes, slow, cautious probes, and long distance bombardments of doubtful object with doubtful accuracy [and an] incredible amount of aimless and wasteful shooting" (9) which dominated the northern battlefields. On Bonny a 1000 man invasion force loaded on two ships overwhelmed a company--sized garrison after a limited naval bombardment. Destroyed was Biafra's only real naval vessel, a Nigerian patrol boat seized at secession; more important, Port Harcourt, the major port and oil terminal in Biafra, was effectively sealed off. This leads to the second importance of the Bonny capture. It pinpoints the failure of Biafran leaders to appreciate the incredible consequence of losing their sea lines of communications. They did not see the need to secure adequate sea power before the war began and were unable to correct their shortcoming when it became apparent how serious the Federals were about enforcing their blockade of the Biafran coastline. The New York Times noted at this stage of the war that Biafra had a "better-than-even chance of survival" ...but that it was... "clear, that the East cannot survive for many months unless the naval blockade is broken."(10) Instead of confronting this problem, however the Biafrans turned inward. The Midwestern Invasion (August-September 1967). The two forces fought tentatively through July of 1967 and into August, with the Federals steadily gaining ground. Then the Biafrans, who had seemed interested only in a defensive war, launched an attack into the Midwestern State. This marked the turning point in the war, as the Rebels gambled on a disastrous offensive campaign. "We have no territorial ambitions. We do not want to capture anybody or punish anybody. We just want to be left alone,"(11) Ojukwu wrote. The drive into the Midwest, however, stood in stark contrast to this claim, Biafra had moved boldly beyond simply protecting the Ibo enclave and seized the initiative, taking the war to the Federals. The objectives of the strike were lightning attacks on, and the capture of, the Federal capital of Lagos and the Western State capital of Ibadan. The occupation of these two capitals was expected to cause an immediate collapse of the Federal government and an end to the war. But the way the Rebel forces spread throughout the region, it is clear that Ojukwa had other objectives in their advance. Among these were establishment of internal control of the Midwestern State and limited prosecution of the war into the Northern State. The execution of the plan higlighted the incompetence of the strategic planners in Biafra. Just as they failed to fully grasp the implications of a naval blockade, they lacked the professional skills and imagination (and patience, and resources) to coordinate an effective attack. The plan took advantage of the sparse Federal forces which were thinly spread throughout the region in small garrisons, more an internal security force than an army. But the plan did not correctly account for many of the non-military factors bearing on the situation, nor did it have sufficient flexibility to confront in any realistic sense changing conditions. The Midwestern State was in a precarious position, a small, wealthy area caught between the secessionist Ibo and the Federal captial of Lagos. In its boundaries were some 800,000 Ibo who could be expected to have sympathies for the East. Primarily agrarian, the region was rich in palm oil, rubber and timber, while oil was a growing resource. One-third of Nigeria's 1967 production and one-half of her reserves were located here. This made the Midwest a desirable property for both sides.(12) At 3 a.m. on August 9, a 100 vehicle column (about 1000 men) crossed the Onitsha Bridge over the Niger River. Within hours Rebel troops occupied the Midwest captial of Benin, while others had fanned out towards Okene (see Map IV) in the north, Owo, also north, and Sapele and Warri to the south. The takeover was facilitated by an insurrection of Ibo-led troops in the region and few shots were actually fired. Evidence is strong that Federal military leaders of Ibo origin secretly collaborated with the Biafrans, providing intelligence on Federal troop dispositions and coordinating a revolt from Nigeria in conjunction with the offensive.(13) As a result, operational security and surprise were achieved. The inital success of the raids, coupled with an August 11 air attack on Lagos, had a devastating psychological effect on the Federal side. In compensation for the tremendous security surrounding the operation, the Biafrans delayed the formation of their brigade-sized task force, conducted no rehersal and even withheld appointment of the task force commander until the day before the attack.(14) This demonstrated a lack of appreciation for the necessity of building teamwork and cohesion in military units and entered several unknowns into the Midwest operational equation. a. Lieutenant Colonel Victor Banjo, a Yoruba, was selected to be the operational commander for politcal reasons rather than his military skills. There was a belief that a non-Ibo leader would help gain Midwest and Western support for the Biafran attack and in the end, help unite all of the South against the North. This not withsanding, Banjo ignored his principal objective, Lagos, and twice held up his advance. At Benin he halted to "reorganize" his forces, though they had not fired a shot. Time was lost in an argument between Benin and Enugu over who was to be the new governor of the region.(15) After three days the Rebels advanced on to the west before stopping at Ore. Forgeting that their success depended on speed, the Biafrans were hesitant to face the uncertainty of continued advance.(16) Lack of agrresive leadership and unity of purpose resulted in a two week delay after which the Rebels lost the initiative. b. The shock of the invasion and the lack of discipline displayed by Biafran soldiers produced adverse results. The support expected for the Midwest Ibo did not materialize as expected, and the negative reaction by non-Ibo in the Midwest and West was far worse than anticipated. It evidenced a political blindness in the Biafran leadership akin to their military shortcomings. John de St. Horre notes that this political blindness was "too often repeated to be a chance phenomenon."(17) c. The political "wheeling and dealing" that took place in Benin over control of the region, at the expense of military objectives, lent a suspicious cast to the Biafran leadership. The motives and actions of all officers became suspect because of the rumor of "saboteurs" within the leadersip.(18) This prejudgement severely hampered command and control in Biafra thereafter and is discussed in Chapter 5. d. The Biafrans probably lacked the capability to conduct such an offensive operation. In his book, Reluctant Rebel, Fola Oyewole details the lack of preparation for the Midwest offensive by his company. Here is a summary of one episode. Upon his return from a battalion field exercise, he was ordered to form a new company at Onitsha. He delivered his car and possessions to family members in that city and reported immediately to his battalion. Within hours he moved to the Midwest. His unit's mission was the capture of the army barracks at Ugbelli. With an officer cadet as his executive officer and no experienced noncommissioned officers, the company was bused to the objective area. Ten miles from Ugbelli, he stopped the column and provided a short briefing, though he was without intelligence or reconnasissance. Fortunately there was no opposition at the objective. Even so, the untrained and undisciplined troops engaged in sporatic firing which resulted in one wound.(19) Such episodes illustrate just how unprepared the Rebels were for the war. The vehicles used for the attack included homemade armored cars, farm trucks and passenger cars. The Biafran soldiers were poorly equipped, and many were without uniforms. They were lucky to meet only token resistance from the few Federal Forces. From the Federal side, the Midwest Invasion achieved one significant result. It broke the complacency surrounding the Federal war effort, and unified the ojectives of Lagos, the West and the North. The entire country was intimidation by the aggressiveness of the Eastern Ibo and the response was immediate. In a demand for Federal action, anti-Ibo riots broke out in Lagos and Ibadan. A dawn-to-dusk curfew was imposed at Ibadan, and troops and armored cars presented a show of force in Lagos to buoy public confidence. Militarily, the reaction was more substantive. A war cabinet was formed in Lagos. Remaining Federal forces operating in the Midwest fell back to blocking positions, most notably to the south of Ore about 120 miles from Lagos on the overland axis of advance from Benin. There they were reinforced by a company of Federal Guards from Lagos. A new unit, 2 Division, commanded by then Lieutenant Colonel Murtala Mohammed, sent its 7 Brigade to Ore (Iluyomade's brigade), while the 6 and 8 Brigades were placed on the northern border of the Midwest to occupy the Biafran's right flank. Lagos must have been reminiscent of Paris and her taxis during the first battle of the Marne. Ground wagons and red- and-silver buses delivered soldiers from Lagos to the front. Six hundred soldiers were recalled from Bonny, and 500 more were moved by rail from Kaduna in the north. The war in the north of Biafra slowed as attention and resources were drawn to overcome the threat in the Midwest. Nigeria's leading playwright, Wole Soyinka, observed that "the short, surgical police action is being conducted with blunt and unsterile scapels."(20) By mid-August, blown bridges and their own hesitation had stopped the Biafrans. The very factor which had hampered the Federal offensive earlier, long lines of communcations, now was a problem for the Rebels. A small force from the beginning, it was stretched too far to withstand the growing Federal pressure. Abruptly, the Rebel offensive ended as the Federals took the initiative. After a single, fierce, battalion-level, infantry battle at Foriku (probably meant 'Ofusu'), just south of Ore, Biafran resistance faded into an "accelerating retreat" characterized by minor delaying actions, blown bridges and cratered roads.(21) The two northern brigades were in a race to outflank the Biafrans and cut off their retreat to the Niger River Bridge at Onitsha. In their haste, the Biafrans left behind many soldiers who did not receive word to withdraw and were consequently captured. Benin was evacuated days before the Federals arrived. The remnants of the invading force crossed the Niger Bridge at Onitsha, blowing two spans in their passing. The destruction of the bridge, a giant edifice commemorative of Nigerian progress, was symbolic of a final isolation for Biafra and a new and deadlier phase of the war. From the Midwest Invasion the Biafrans had hoped to show the world that they were a legitimate power deserving of international recognition; instead the foray ended with disaster. The Rebels gained some food, materiel, and the assets of the Bank of Benin which were expropriated in the occupation. But the losses far overshadowed those minor gains: a. The Federals declared all out war, launching the first air strikes of the war at Enugu, Onitsha, Port Harcourt and Calabar among others.(22) b. The Biafrans removed the buffer of the midwest state. All sympathy in the South was lost as non-Ibo became pro-Federals. Additionally, the blockade became more effective as trade that had flourished in the Niger died.(23) c. The loss of resources, men and materiel, in the Midwest hastened the fall of Enugu. The withdrawal of these assets had weakened the defense of the northern region. When these forces did not return and the Federals resumed their advance with a rekindled fervor, the early fall of the Biafran capital was assured.(24) d. Finally, the initiative was surrendered to the Federals. With the offensive they initiated in mid-August, the Federals began to display their superiority. The conflict slowed to the plodding war of attrition that would continue for over two years. The norther border was closed by the Nigerian 1 Division, the Midwestern Region had been clearly by 2 Division, and the Navy had blockaded most of the sea approaches. The Cameroons had closed their rugged border in June 1967, and the noose was slowly tightened by the Federals.” |
