Learn English comprehension. You should also understand what sacking Gowon would have meant. Some of Murtala's troops were actually from the brigade of guards which is why the plan to sack gowon was hatched and it would have succeeded as a brilliant plan. Every military tactician has agreed to the is point.

Actually the minute they invaded it exposed Awolowo's treacherous nature for the second time.
You were sacking Gowon by killing defenceless people on the street of Ore and Lagos? Lol.
What stopped you from going towards North to fight the people who had grudges against you?
Bunch of fools.

On the contrary the curse in on your cockroach tribe who would rather remain slaves to hausafulani than seize a golden opportunity and free themselves from the clutches of slavery.

But then they decided like their chicken hearted suicide traitor awolowo to die miserably as a slave
We will go to war when we want to, not because one greedy eediot says so..
Imagine causing yawa in the North and expecting the West to clean their mess for them? Lol.
These people definately need brain transplants.

Really Igbos were killing yoruba's or was it yoruba's that were murdering igbo's because their slave masters were doing the same in the north. You are either young and du.mb or uneducated. Enjoy your ignorance I hear it is bliss.

Benin is no iboland but your stupid biafra invaded non-iboland, looted its banks, properties and killed defenceless people on the street and you still wonder why they were dealt with?

Yorubas were non-partisan until your people invaded the west.
Why do you think Awolowo made the statement ''we can't be feeding people who are killing my people''?
If you haven't invaded the west, maybe you would have had your biafra.

The answer is up in the air.
You invaded someone's region, looted it and killed its people and expect them to embrace you?

You are a dullard!
Would he actualise his goal with bare hands?
Was he a sitting military governor?
Did he have a standing army?
Were the few Yoruba soldiers in the army at the time ready to obey him?

I've seen the whole SE except Imo. When we travelled to Calabar for excursion, we passed through Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi, Abia states.. Only Enugu was presentable, the others were either dirty or barren. My lovely Ak city (Akure) beats them by far. That's not to mention Lagos, oyo and Ogun states which are metropolis cities.
You are cursed people! Suck it!

What else did Awolowo do apart from giving free education to the SW?
See question ooo. If it was that easy, then why didn't his contemporaries do the same? Don't you know that educating just one person in a family transforms the whole family? Education changes everything! If you truly know the value of a good education, you would not ask this question. Do you know that a healthy Democracy itself rests on an educated citizenry?

It is like asking, "what else did Soviet Union do apart from launching sputnik?" Bad Belle.

Go and do your research about infrastructure in the Western Region. Also look up on minimum wage and other social programs that Nigerians still cant get right till today.

Awo gave the adult easterners £20 and today they have the lowest poverty rate in nigeria
adekunle bombed churches,hospitals,innocent civilians and schools and today the eastern region is far the most developed region in the nation.
Obafemi implemented the starvation policy against the region causing most of them kwashiokor and today they are the most beautiful and handsome people in the nation and also have won mbgn more than any other region and also the only region to win miss world and miss un in the nation.
Over 2million igbos were killed by starvation and genocide and today they are among the largest ethnic groups in the nation and it is estimated that they would have been the largest if they have been practising polygamy in majority just like the hausas and yorubas.
Just look at what you people have done to this people and they are still ahead,why not join them because you can't beat them

Awolowo wouldn't have done such if ibo didn't invade the west and kill our people.
This is what I dislike about you people, you whip out the victim sentiment when you people were the first to cause trouble.
Obviously, no one like the sight of those suffering kids but for everyone to move on, ibo must visit the whole truth and admit their mistake first. Without this, there will always be grudges on both sides because you can't expect me to be looking on while you are abusing my tribes when I know you people caused the first trouble.
Actually, I blame ibo fore fathers who would rather peddle lies to make them the victims than say the whole truth and heal from there.

the federal forces where frustrated seeing how fierce the biafran army were becoming everyday during the war,obafemi awolowo adviced gowon to starve the easterners,block red cross from switzerland from reaching the easterners,block the caritas and food from italy from reaching them,so that they will fall sick and die.murtala mohammed and haruna with other junior nigerian officers murdered over 5000 male in asaba including children below 13yrs of age.adekunle instructed his men to kill every human and animals they see.ojukwu declared eastern nigeria a republic because gowon refuse to keep to the agreement they both signed at aburi ghana which is aimed at ensuring peace and stop the killings of the easterners in the north,at this point during that time some of the easterners were angry with ojukwu calling him a weak leader that can't liberate his people who are being massacred everyday and all he could do was to ask them to return to the north where they were being massacred,this alone showed that ojukwu doesn't want the eastern region to secede at the initial time but gowon's altitude towards the agreement made ojukwu to think that gowon was taking him and his people for granted.immediately ojukwu declared the eastern region a republic the federal government immediately waged a war against them.the only place the biafrans troops killed about 6 civilians was a place near kwale in delta state in order to revenge what the federal troops were doing to their civilians.when the biafran troops raided mid west and ore they didn't kill civilians they only robbed the bank in edo state.
When i was in primary school in lagos then,my teacher (a yoruba) didn't tell us the truth,he only said igbos started the nigerian civil war which is a blantant lie.by now everyone suppose to have forgotten about the war but they haven't,why?because some yorubas and hausas don't want to acknowledge the truth.in germany today truth were told to the jews and also taught in their schools of how the germans committed genocide against them but in nigeria they will tell you that ojukwu woke up one early morning and noticed that there were lots of oil in the niger delta being a greedy man he decided to declare them a republic so that only the easterners will benefit from it.

Keep consoling yourself. There was nothing fierce about the biafra. All they did was bomb and retreat into hiding when confronted.
The underlined part of your post is so funny. They robbed without killing? You must be very stup!d. You better get your head out of your ass and stop listening to tales by moonlight by those deceiful fathers of yours.
All what you wrote is just hogwash! Complete bullshit. You'll do well to read books on the civil war written by the neutral Americans and the British.
The first coup to be plotted was carried out by the ibos who killed several tribes' leaders (Akintola, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa e.t.c) save for theirs.
Afterwards, the ibos in the North kept mocking the Hausas who were still mourning their lost leaders. The Ibos made different posters/songs with provocative statements like 'the goats are crying', the ibos will continue to dominate e.t.c.
When the Hausas couldn't take it anymore, they implored Ironsi to prosecute the coup plotters, who should have be executed by law but Ironsi refused to do such because they are his kinsmen. The annoying part of it was that Ironsi put the coup plotters in an eastern prison! Imagine ibos coup plotters being jailed in the east where they had access to their families while other prisoners were taken far away from home. Another thing is that these coup plotters were only in the prison during the day but were seen partying/visiting their family at night... This act coupled with the provocative statementss by the ibos in the North irked the Hausa more.
Eventually, the hausas had enough and plotted their own coup which culminated into Ironsi and some ibo leaders death. Ibo cried foul like they always do and started killing the hausas living among them in the east.
The hot-headed North retaliated by introducing their progroms which led to the death of many ibos among them. As usual, the ibos cried foul and declared their stup!d biafra which would have been handed to them if they didn't set their greedy eyes on Benin, Delta, Lagos e.t.c for their biafra.
These stupid biafrans invaded, killed and bombed several people on the street of Ore, Benin and Lagos, and you still wonder why ibos were dealt with? You're a big möron. You ibos need to get your thinking out of the box and stop playing the victim card 'cos you people are worse than the devil.

i am not debating with you,it's just that i want you to know the truth and the bitter truth, am a historian,am not lying to you.
Now take a look at the following:
1.AWOLOWO plotted the first coup in nigeria against the federal government and he was caught and imprisoned in 1963.if you doubt me go and read the history of nigeria by anifowose 1982.
2.ojukwu released him from prison in 1967.
3.he betrayed ojukwu by not seceding with the west.
4.he planned another coup in 1987,he wanted to overthrow IBB.
5.lateef jakande betrayed him by exposing him.
6.IBB gave him 3 options 1.court marshal.2.go on exile.3.go to prison.
7.it was gathered that he saw that those options will be heavy for him.
8.he decided to commit suicide.
It know that they won't tell you the truth.
Take a look again:
1.a yoruba man named ADEGBOYEGA was among the senior officials that plotted the 1966 coup.
2.the coup didn't lead to the civil war,the failure of gowon to implement the aburi accord which both him and ojukwu signed led to the civil war.
3.the aburi accord was aimed at 1.ensuring peace and stability in the country.2.grant of regional control of resources.3.stop the incessant killing of the innocent easterners e.t.c.
4.the federaral forces were the first to attack the biafran forces.
5.the biafran forces headed to the west because the seat of power as of then was in the west(lagos)and also it's were the forces fighting biafra troops were been sent from.
6.the biafrans didn't attack civilians while conquering ore and the mid west.if you doubt me go and read soyinka's book about the civil war.
7.the biafran troops were more fierce than the federal troops that's why they fought without red cross and also killed over 15,000 federal forces while federal forces killed less than 6,000 biafran soldiers.go and figure it out
8.the igbos are not crying for aguiyi ironsi because he brought his death upon himself by not trying the coup plotters instead he jailed them.
I am just telling all these because i know they won't tell you the truth.[b][quote author=Shirley07 post=33489697]Keep consoling yourself. There was nothing fierce about the biafra. All they did was bomb and retreat into hiding when confronted.
