rabzy:The East was hard hit. The war didnt go beyond Benin-Ore road for Yoruba's. The north felt nothing. No Yoruba child died, no northern child died. I still have pictures of my grandfather's tenant's Igbo children that died during the war. I grew up knowing this stories because my aunts and uncles were all in sapele. We can never live in peace until we realise that we were wrong, our leaders were wrong to see war as a final solution. They surely would suffer for their sins. Innocent people died, people who had no business with the war died. 10 Likes |

When Gowon and Danjuma where spearheading genocide against Chriatian Easterners, am sure they never thought that a day like this will come.. Its just 50yrs when the world is healing, technology is making wave and those that they helped last 50yrs ago has turned their back on them.. Even most of the diplomat was confused why a Christian was leading a war that clearly divided between Christians and Moslems. All Gowon babbling have seen on YouTube was clearly out of hate against the igbos.. He forgot aku fecha odara awo. Look at who went to a school gathering to tell youths to pick up arms and defend thier selves. This is the best time to be alive as an Easterner.. Wether Urhobo, itshekiri, kwale, igbo and the rest. Even the sins of the forefather will be visited by the sons sons. A good testament that Karma is real.. Imagine 50yrs. The one called Gowon will die of depression same way adekunle died 8 Likes |

When someone from the old eastern region tells you he loves Nigeria believe me he's not been sincere. The war shouldn't have happened!! Adekunle and his northern soldiers ransacked and burnt down my village in the present day Ahoada East LGA simply because we refused to renounce our loyalty to the eastern assembly even when our neighbors to the west had raised a white flag. To make matters worse, my big Aunt was captured and raped for days and when the barbarians had satisfied their evil sexual urge they hanged her on a tree.... Imagine this had happened in osogbo and one person from the east is telling you to believe in one Nigeria? I still believe though, that we have the responsibility to forgive and support our brothers in the middle belt, cos if we allow the MB to fall, the East will be next and after that the riverine area which is their golden Apple!! 10 Likes |

Pls I want to know before I can believe, I need link to read or evidence to prove because I know benue and kogi is the only state close to the east . So which of the middle belt committed this evil massacre? |

greypencils: The east was hard hit because that was the theartre of the war, the battlefield took place in the igbo and efik/ibibio land. The next palce that was hit hard was midwest, why because some skirmishes took place there when the Biafrans invaded and also when the Nigerian army push back, you think innocent midwesterners didnt die? If the biafran push got to Lagos and Ibadan, you think there wont be millions of innocent casualties? When Bianfran B-26 bomber bombed Marina, Apapa and the bombs that exploded at the cinema in Yaba, do you think it was soldiers that were dying in those places, biafran bombers bomb lagos before the incompetent Nigerian officers knew they should also have planes. Makurdi and Kano was also bombed. Biafran had total air superiority during the early stages and they were picking any desired target. 2 Likes |

maxlev1: Historically these people you talk about were known as Biafrans. The Eastern Region which once declared its self as Biafra makes up over 80% of the so called South-South. Ojukwu did not pluck the "Biafra" from thin air, that name has less to do with Igbos thsn others. But the most important thing to note is that there must be a referendum. Those who are not happy with Biafra can vote to continue with Nigeria. Those who vote to go can then go 8 Likes |

Y0ruba: You are a bastard son of a thousand fathers. A fool with no nation. You're a waste of semen and a shame to your slaved forefathers. How can a sane individual spew such rubbish. I recommend you should be banned because your comments which are clearly falsehood are only geared towards more national strife. FACTS: 1: Red cross planes were targerted by the Nigerian army. 2:Awolowo encouraged and spearheaded the food blockade openly. 3:What is the logic in starving your citizens, your soldiers and by extension yourself during a war so that you will receive pity. 4:Any reports and claims you made are clearly false. The Nigeria-Biafra war was the first to followed extensively by the media and international bodies since WW2. It was even debated in the American congress. No one ever spewed such rubbish about Ojukwu if not he would have been charged to the ICC as a war criminal. 5: it's Igbo not yiibo. Next time before such baseless claims and allegations support them with facts and documents. And i am not talking about doctored ones. 13 Likes 1 Share |

BeeBeeOoh:I work with a lot of very educated middle belt Christians and while they may not be very violent towards Igbos,they still passionately hate Igbos. I didn't say 'dislike',I said hate. Even after all the southern Kaduna and Agatu massacre last year,these same ppl were rejoicing when the same hausa/Fulani led army were in their campaign of murder in the south east in the name of python dance. They only recovered their sense since this year when fulani intensified their killings. Only my strong Catholic background will let me give half a fork but as an Igbo man,I don't give a fork.

Mind you, they were heading towards Lagos cos that was the capital of Nigeria and if we wanted to harm the Yoruba, Ibadan, Ile ife ,ondo and ekiti are very close to east than a far away Lagos. It's because you have not travel outside your enclave that's why you thought Lagos is closer to the east. However, I need evidence to back up what you typed there. Thank you 6 Likes |

emmysoftyou: lololol, i have deployed projects all over Nigeria especially in the east, i served in Isiala Mbano, try and stick with the discussion with no personal jabs and insults please. I didnt talk about motives, whether the biafran army wanted to harm the yoruba is not the question, we are talking about what happened during the war. In war there are targets, when Biafra invaded midwest, they splitted into 3, one battalion went to warri, one to auchi and the last made a dash for benin. in the drive to lagos, the biafran troops captured ore, okitipupa, akotogbo, irele, ute etc. The biafran army was to peel off into two, one to drive to ibadan thru ife road and the other to dash to Lagos, so if the lagos Nigerian army and the troops in the north dash to engage the Biafran army that has taken over these places, yoiu think the west would be spared also with a possible resistance from the local citizens. 1 Like |

OnyeOGA: I presently know of the location of a retired Edo man who was in the Army. He is very old now, hardly comes out. He confessed albeit in a drunk state during a neighborhood meeting how he shot dead biafran ladies who refuses to sleep with him. He said he will place his gun in their private parts and release the trigger. Even some Yoruba who were there were shaking their heads n wonder. The man is living in penury. Heard that his children who are all based abroad abandoned him. All they do is rotate their mom in different countries Of their residency and bring her back to Nigeria. 4 Likes |

It amazes me really when they come up with their political permutations and voting power, claiming the Igbos do not have a large population of voters. Maybe true, but not because of the population of Igbos in Nigeria, but because the Igbos have lost interest in anything Nigeria and an average Igbo man during election would rather do something that'd earn him money than waste his time in an election. Another factor is that the Igbo man is always threatened and would rather be killed than allowed to vote for his preferred candidate in the north. Cases like these had been recorded in Kano, Kaduna and some other Northern States where they were molested, threatened and even killed for attempting to vote against their popular candidate. So they totally avoid elections rather than get killed for voting against a Jihadist in the North. Population or voting strength is not the problem here for the Igbos can decide the outcome of an election. If you doubt me, go to any city in Nigeria and count the number of Chukwuemekas and Chibuzos resident there. The truth is Nigeria gave the Igbos reasons to not be interested in her affairs, rather to be more interested in survival. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Agreed that the Federation of Nigeria went into coma on January 15, 1966 but it's the extreme of hypocrisy to say that this was an accident. A well organized and implemented evil by tribal clique trained as Nigerian army officers was never and cannot be an accident. Nzeugwu in Kaduna and Ifeajuna and his tribal murderer colleagues in lagos were out to kill all non igbo senior political leaders and all non igbo senior military officers in a well organised and very wicked ethnic cleansing frenzy. And they did . It was the first and the bloodiest. Most vile , atrocious and evil coup in Nigeria. Those igbo officers taught the west Africa the crime of violent removal of elected governance. 50 years on, No one has yet equalled the igbo coup in its horror and criminality . This was the beginning and we shall always remind those who desparately want to rewrite history. It was never an accident. As for the octagenerian decorated general and war lord , T.Y. Danjuma, the euphoric reception of his call to anarchy is only a transient matter , we are all transient anyway . The intrepid oil millionaire General has passed thru many controversies including the violent death of Aguiyi Ironsi which is now temporarily forgotten as we celebrate the latest heroic feat in firm of speech from Danjuma. But I will advise the celebrants to go and find out what Danjuma''s multibillion Dollar empire is owing Nigeria and the request been made for payment. Danjuma like present Deputy senate president , would rather see the destruction of Nigeria than return what doesn't legally belong to them back to us - Nigerians. |
