ojinuocheibi:u said our omo at ur age u suppose not to be celebrating our own... hustle and get yours, over dependent on family property might disappoint you...by right with ur age u don't suppose to still live under ur parents roof becoming a burden to them... well I don't celebrate ours I celebrate mine... if ur parent gardening is in my class I gonna shake his hands because he has responsibilities as a man more than mum over grown baby.... very possible and much easier to claim rich kids online...even some folks from AJ Lagos can claim that as well... Goodluck |

ojinuocheibi:omo u said ours at ur age u ought to celebrate yours not ours... over dependent on family property might be disappointing in future, ur parents gardening is more a man compare over grown baby staying @ home 24/7 spewing trash online (cyber warrior) waiting for mum to bring something home, I'm not even doubting u owning all the building @ VI or banana island, with internet its easier to claim what u are noteven some folks from AJ Lagos can claim Ambode immediate brother ... Goodluck and GOD'S Speeds to ur endeavours |

I have gone through all the comments on this post but what baffles me is the hatred the afonjas have towards the igbo with there irrelevant comments. Now my question to the afonjas is. [b][/b]DO U KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF INTELLIGENT MACHANICAL, CHEMICAL AND METALLURGICAL. ENGINEERING STUDENTS WHO AIM TO PRODUCE WHAT WOULD DESTROY COME TOGETHER AND FORM AN ALLIANCE. That question might take u time to answer so think about it |

lilwill:Like seriously igboland synonymous with fraud and fake things? Well if that's the case, then afonjas land is synonymous with imported goods and online fraudstars bcz ryt from inception till date haven't seen or heard any ingenuity from the SW. Lest I forget, one young intelligent igbo boy ruled Lagos for 24hours ... Quote me if am wrong bloodywitz |

lilwill:Wack history that doesn't make any sense. With ur so called juju empire wat did ur race achieve with it? First capital of Nigeria or wat? Stop being ignorant troll. The easterners had a working system which was bastadized by the wyts, that's why history has it that majority of those sold out into slavery away from the shores of this country is mostly from the south. The famous jaja of opobo is an appetizer if u need a clue. So just shut up about al those empire rubbish, for it to have survived showed ur people don't have a decision of their own. Any where belle face tribe? Afonjaz Dem mtsheew |

blues20:This all started when someone tried to correct come errors in the thread and y'all became insecure and defensive of what you felt was an abuse of your heritage. to me the truth is this, anything worth its salt in this world can speak for itself, just like christians don't have to defend God cause we believe He is the almighty and our defender and not vice versa personally, i really don't care if some people built or didn't build war machines decades ago, i care about what they are doing now |

SAVEDBABA:That your mother can cook ewedu soup does not mean she can cook egusi soup A technologist might know how to produce soap does not mean he knows how to produce perfume. Nigeria saving grace was that no Biafra knew how to produce bullets/shells/jet technologies. If they knew, the war would have ended differently. |

There is too much knowledge gap in this country that you wonder what people do with all that voluminous data they buy from the TELCOs. The Nigerian Civil War remains a badly told story 36 years after the last shot was fired. War is a bad thing and it only brings forth the evil in us all. There are never saints nor are there ever angels. just evil and evil all through. These generation should not make the mistake of glorifying the many evils of the old days. Don't wish unto yourselves what you cannot handle. Refer to Syria and South Sudan for your repost. Nobody will be a hero should we make Allepos or Homs or Fallujas of Enugu or Ibadan or Kaduna. See how much harm rag-tag bunches like BH and the so-called Avengers have caused us all already. In the 60's, Nigeria was a poor, low technology and largely illiterate society. We had the few universities, the groundnut pyramids, cocoa bags, rubber, timber, tin and the developing oil industry, but we were still largely behind times and pretty new to the international community. By global standards, our army was also not of much value. Our armed forces distinguished itself in Katanga and Uganda in that era but then again this accolade was more as peace keepers rather than as a fighting forces. However, when our leaders found ways to lead us into war, a great chunk of the idling and wasting WW2 materiel of a few European powers found their way into the hands of both sides of the war. Many shady European businessmen turned into gun runners piled stock & stock of aging arsenal from London to Paris to Moscow to Rome to Berlin to Bonn to Porto via Cairo and Libreville to the ultimate destination which was either Lagos or Ulli. It really didn't matter to these killers who won, be it Nigeria or the rebels; no. It was all about their greed to make money. The British and American governments staked their policy on the believe that Nigeria will win so therefore funded the winning side to curry favours later. They also sincerely believed that disintegration of the colonial borders may be counter productive to Africa's stability. The Russians & East Germans did their bit to aid the rebels, not out of interest in the rebel cause but as the prevailing policy of the cold war era. The French also aided Biafra a bit in the faint hope that should the Anglo-Americans loose interest in the whole business, they can benefit from their position later. The Egyptian Airforce was in the pocket of the Brits and were therefore deployed considerably on the Nigerian side. Nigeria was wealthier than the rebels and had more legitimacy to buy arms in the international market. Therefore, before and during the war, Nigeria remained far better equipped than the rebels. The critical thing the rebels had on their side was that the war was being fought in their backyard so they knew the terrain better. Also Radio Biafra's successful propaganda made them believe that surrendering to the Nigerians meant horrible torture and death. With backs pushed to the wall, poorly armed guys were willing to fight to death against all odds. This war was a fight that Biafra was always going to loose from day one. It has even been suggested in some quarters that the Nigerians deliberately prolonged the war as a matter of High Command policy to prolong the terrible suffering of the rebels. The Biafran Army also resorted to mostly guerilla tactics which brought devastating repercussions to their civilians as the Nigerians continually begin to view all Biafrans as combatants with no protection under the Geneva Conventions. Did the Biafrans locally produce weapons during the war? Yes, but nothing of the supposed sophistication that the OP suggested. Necessity is the mother of all inventions so as rhe Biafrans were cut out of the international market due to the biting Federal blockade and the lack of FX, they resorted to home based fabrications. The pictures the OP posted are real, of course but these are all WW2 materiel which were mostly 30 years old models when our war started. Non of the two sides had state of the art equipment. The leading weapon on the rebel side of the war front was mostly the bolt-action rifle which is a WW1 (1910) relic! However the rebels did truly produce the interesting ogbunigwe classes of bombs, missiles and landmines locally. However you analyse them, these were still mostly what we today call IEDs. So so many rag tag armies produce IEDs today all over the world. The shrapnel attached to the so-called coffin ogbunigwe was nothing more than ball bearings and nails which however still carry so much devastation to the enemy if exploded in the midst of a crowded company. The flying ogbunigwe also did not come with a guidance system thus it often misfired and blew off the Biafran defenders rather than the intended enemy forces. These was the kind of war we fought in the 60's. My points above do not in anyway remove from the brilliance and ingenuity of the Biafran rebels who fought a loosing war with the grit and tenacity worthy of respect. But the story must not be retold with undeserved glorification of nothing lest we elevate our collective madness to a class of its own. Do we want to fight a war again? Do you want a Syria in the heart of Africa? I wish you our young people well. |

economic performance is directly attributable to its weakness in the production and use of modern technology. Even Nigeria, a country with immense human and material resources, coupled with significant scientific infrastructure, has not yet been able to manage the all-important technological leap forward. The situation was different in Biafra (1967–70), when indigenous scientists and engineers performed socially relevant science without the preconditions conventionally perceived as necessary for technological development. Anchored in structuration theory, this article explores the sociology of scientific and technological practice in Biafra, outlines the achievements of Biafran scientists and engineers, and offers explanations of why the Biafran technological success has not been replicable in post-civil war Nigeria. Discussion concludes with a suggestion for development-driven geopolitical restructuring. |
