Very correct. I wonder why we can't forge ahead and forget the past. Correction. There was no battle at Niger Bridge the battle was Onitsha waterside. Achuzia blew up the bridge to slow the advance of the Nigerian forces. Murtala then sent thousands of soldiers across to Onitsha where they started to loot and destroy like they had done in Asaba. Biafran soldiers rallied and totally massacred the Federal forces. Some managed to swim back to Asaba to tell what happened. Murtala the butcher of asaba, high on drugs and overconfident after his babalawo assured him he would win, sent wave after wave of men in boats across to Onitsha but they were massacred also.

olas24u:Do you know that prior to the 1966 coup there was a pogrom in the north against Igbos(Kano riot in 1953)? and the officers that foiled the coup was of Igbo extraction e.g It failed in Kano because Ojukwu held his ground, Nzeogwu assaainated an Igbo officer for refusing to hand over the keys to the armoury in kaduna Now because it suits ur biased narrative Ifeajuna, Nzeogwu, Oguche, Ademoyega etal who where mostly from Mid-west, South West etc are now Igbos I though most you said there are no Igbos in the Niger Delta? It's a pity that history is not thought in schools that's why kids just talk anyhow. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Xander85:But Ndigbo in the North composed a song taunting the late Sarduana of Sokoto in the land where they were welcomed. You dont need to go on a plebiscite to show u condone the act, actions and inactions can show your support for a cause. Even the pseudo federalism we suffering from today was caused by Igbos. Ben Nnwabueze drafted that decree No. 13 of 1966 which Gen. Ironsi used in setting Nigeria on unitary path where each states now look to federal govt for revenue. Once the Northerners this false sense of federalism, they never want to hear about Restructuring anymore. 1 Like |

cyrilamx: Where were Kaduna Nzeogwu and Donatus Okafor born? They were both born in the North, grew up in the North and were fluent Hausa speakers. They hardly spent any time in Igboland. Since there were no states in Nigeria then, and no indigene-settler dichotomy, they were to all intent and purposes, Northerners! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Stingman:many of you don't even know what led to the civil war. The war was as a result of the unending killings between hausa/fulanis and ibos after the coup. The coup only had little effect on the civil war. And this was because of how the Igbos rejoiced over the killing of sardauna. |
