Biafrans are not as blessed as the Jews, Chinese, Germans, Arabs n many more. In Africa a biafra of over 40 million people that can not intelligently or forcefully gain independence is neither smart or intelligent when you consider country like Gambia Lesotho, Swaziland Eritrea, South Sudan n a whole lot of others some with less than a million n none over 40 million in population are able to navigate the independence of their nationality successfully. Pound for pound Biafra are not more blessed or more intelligent nor more educated than the Arabs Zulu Yoruba in Africa.

I hope those who say "It is because GEJ lost" can see these pictures?

The protest has long been there, even before GEJ entered primary School.

This picture is something else. The man with Ojukwu is either Brigadier Amadi or Brigadier Anthony Eze. Both of them are pointing at a point in the map close to Yenagoa in present day Bayelsa.

Bro you're not good with maps.... grin
They're pointing at Twon Brass...and its possible this photo was taken when enemy troops led by Boro overran the Rukwo provinces of Yenagwa and Degema.

If you look very well at bayelsa state map,you'd notice that Yenagwa is further inland while Twon Brass lies almost on the shore...and Ojukwu pointer is at a spot on the shoreline around the location of present day brass/nembe

Your type are the challenging problem that Nigeria has today, you keep spreading false views that Biafra surrendered the war and deceiving millions of Nigerian that they have a military.

Biafra negotiated an armistice which you can find the meaning which made Gowon declare no Victor and no vanguished. Stop making heroes out of nothing, try to find the meaning of armistice.

america dat lost d vietnam war, wia they less powerfulhuh besides, bia..fra did a good job during d civil war. if a tiny nation like biaf...ra can hold on nigeria, britain, USSR combine for 3 good years, imagine wat would have happened if nigeria was left alone to slug it out with bi...afra.
Re: Biafran Protesters Crossing Westminster Bridge In London In August 1967 by Nobody: 1:48pm On Feb 11, 2017
To be fair this was at the start of the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970). After the war was over I think Biafra was a very delicate topic that was not spoken of. Until recently. Most especially at the start of this administration.
