Muna4real:
There is no evidence to prove that these photos are from biafra.. You just pick some random photos of some kids playing with wooden guns and claim they are biafran kids. There is no biafran soldier training them there. And by the way, why are they not wearing biafran troops uniforms.

T9ksy:
Haba! Did you check the link, i posted above? Or maybe you didn't have enough data to watch the video? It's not a case of "IF" rather it's a fact !!! Ojukwu did conscript boys into his dumb and futile war. They were called the "Boy's Company". Philip Emeagwali admitted in his own voice that he was FORCEFULLY conscripted at 14!

Somehow, i do believe you knew Ojukwu is guilty as charged but would rather feign ignorance. The internet is replete with similar story .

Ben Okafor (famous reggae musician )gave an eye witness account below...........

nku5:
Fake as usual. When this BS is debunked they will crawl back into their hole to cook up the next lie

T9ksy:
What a pity that your incompetent, greedy and myopic leaders of the day were not able to see the bolded writings on the wall - probably blinded by the promise of future gains as they were still clamouring for One united nigeria, like drunken sailors on a stag night out.

Even when internal self-rule were granted to the regions in 1957, the ibos from the east opted to wait in line with their fulani brothers(sic!) up north till 1959.

FrLukas:
Why don't you go ahead and debunk it.

This is just a tiny sample of the war crimes committed by Ojukwu and his men during the war.

FrLukas:
I don't think this is true though.

I think this was meant as a sensitization program.


As you can see, those kids were given wooden guns and not real guns.

Let's be factual and stop the lies.

nku5:
Your racism and hatred of Igbos aside for now, you honestly believe that 8 year old children were sent off with sticks to fight Federal Government troops?

None of these children were captured abi? Or they successfully defeated their enemies with fake guns every time they went to battle? The OP obviously never read a book in his life. Otherwise he would be too ashamed to start this kind of topic

Edited: I just saw your post now sef and its even a better debunking job than I was planning to do

FrLukas:
I understand that you are confused. So let me help you out.


I challenged you to debunk the OP's claim.


My post you quoted is based on the pictures posted by the op which shows wooden guns.


I've been made aware of a video recorded by Philip Emegwali an Igbo man who claimed that he was conscripted at the age of 14 or thereabouts.


So, the possibility that there was children conscription to fight a senseless war is very high and that's why I asked you to defend your position with facts.


Obviously you can't, otherwise you would have.


Racism and hatred of Igbo?


You must be talking about someone else.


If I hated Igbos, I won't write the first post which you so gleefully pulled out which seemed to support you guys.


I am a servant of Truth and I speak it no matter whose ox is gored.


But truth to you guys sounds like hatred.

See your initial post to OP



After exposing the OP's folly you reply me saying "THIS is a sample of the war crimes"

So which one. Do you believe that these kids looking like 5 year olds with sticks were sent to the warfront?

I can tell you for free that there were no child combatants in Biafra. I dont need to watch any videos. I've read enough literature to know this. The teenagers who served the army were errand boys, cleaners or cooks.................

.................and intelligence spies working behind enemy's lines as attested to Ben okafor, who joined the Boy's company aged, 12.


Yeah right, those kids playing war games with stick sure do like 2 years old.

LegendHero:
I am not the cause of the war and I don’t have any sympathy to give so you’re just wasting your words on me.

Also, I am not a Northerner, you should direct your grievances to the North that masterminded the progom.

You killed the Yoruba leaders also but we chose not to react. Infact, Fajuiyi chose to die with Ironsi in the counter coup as a mark of honor and I don’t think any Yoruba retaliated against the ibos in the west for what you did to our premier.

What I’m just saying initially was that “You don’t choose how your enemy react to the action you take”. They might choose to use a sledge hammer to kill an insect. This is not a game of 1:1.

goodnessme1:
Was the coup carried out by Igbo soldiers alone?



So Yoruba soldiers among the coupists are not human.

Bkayyy:
Liars see the real young Biafran heroes here analyzing the tactics they used to capture Midwest and invade Ore in present day Ondo state , not those kids playing with wooden bat

Mistakemaker:
They seem better trained than Nigerian military

Keep deceiving yourself

We need to condemn this act for future generations not to tow this line

I guessed as much.

5.35 is the koko. "I was a child soldier. I served as a cook"

He was not a combatant

kingzizzy:
Thats what the Biafran boys company did. They cooked for Biafran Soldiers, carried their guns, washed their cloth and did other chores for them. But they did not fight.

T9ksy:
But Ben Okafor confirmed that his platoon of kid soldiers were sent on their first and only spying mission however their bodies were

sent back to biafra with their eyes gorged out.

kingzizzy:
The point here is that no child ever fired a gun nor became a combatant fighter fir Biafra as is implied in this thread. To become a Soldier, you must be trained in the use of firearms. A child who is only carrying the guns of other Soldiers is no Soldier
