OkoNDOoBo:
And u think u made sense

Kaysalas:
Now this is why I refrain from arguing on naira land.
Just so you know.... there is nowhere in the world where you learn to fly before you run, build ships before building canoes, invent smart phones before building transistor radios. Stop living in delusion brother, try for once to have an objective mind.
And why can you not have a healthy convo with someone of dissenting views without insulting him. So becos I don't share ur views mean I need to grow wisdom ryt? Hahaha!

If both of you weren't technological illiterates, you guys would have known that a technologist might be knowledgeable in soap production but a complete illiterate in perfume production.

Kaysalas:
There was no where aigbofa said aeroplanes were used at least judging by his posts up until I made this quite. He gave a very logical connection. Cameroun- France??

Cameroon had Fulani President them.

Go back to history

Kaysalas:
See ehn! I am not one to beat about the bush. Besides I am still on page 1 of this thread. But in quick response to what you typed, I am aware of the micro chip analogy but the truth is: it doesn't work here. I don't disguise the truth or run away from it. Your brother said the TANK was built wholly by briafrans but they hadn't discovered how to build the bullet. Can you in all your reasoning believe or assent to this statement. Kindly address this issue and leave microchip and program tape outta this

When will some of you grow wisdom.

That Biafrans could not produced bullets doesn't mean they couldn't produce tanks.

Is all about knowledge.

You can prepare ewedu soup doesn't mean you can prepare ogbono soup
Technology is about knowledge

One can be knowledgeable in one technology and a complete illiterate in another

I just laugh at the adopted king of Afonjas

betterABIAstate:
according to the casualty data, Nigeria had about 35,000-50,000 casualties while Biafra had just 10,000-25,000.
It shows that Nigeria won by sheer population of soldiers.

Nigerian military casualties was about 500,000

Oasis007:


Constructing heavy War-Machines, Grenades weren't a problem, but producing a tiny bullet was?!

Technology indeed!

Technology is not based on size but knowledge.

That knowledge we lack

Afonjas who voted their hunger should not complain

Say the truth and get probed.
Afonjas over to you guys

nonaira:
And yet your Nigeria has yet to reverse engineer shit.

Why are you still going all over the world begging for outdated weapons if reverse engineering is so easy.

You actually insulted that shithole Nigeria with that one line.

Ask him why Nigeria hasn't reversed engineered jet and helicopter technologies

thedarksider:
which heroes??...do you mean the nigerian army in that time??...

loooook..i am trying to tell you that reverse-engineering is not that hard...you just copy what you already have...

it may not match the original,but would still be combatable...

even if the other nations didnt interfere in the biafran war,i dont think biafra would have still won...dont underestimate our numbers..

you were fighting 2 fronts: the benin-empire and the sohnghai-empire..ojukwu never understood the terrain...he was not a good strategist...

If the Western nations hadn't supplied you guys weapons, Nigerian military would have been armed with bow and arrows.

nonaira:
Was it not how you lots scremed "show me the weapons" when your government was whining about your inability to follow biafran engineers footstep.
Oya, now the images of the weapons have reached the internet, your next very is "shoWe me the factories". The hilarious shit about it, they provide you image of where it was built, you envious, jealous, afonjas would start shooting for something else...very likely it's show me the engineers degree.

Jealous, Envious ass clown

I don't know why a particular tribe in the South, thinks Igbos are their mates in technology

Just guess the tribe of this Op

thedarksider:
give me a break....the igbos were never ready for a war..

hitler planned 10years long and modernized the german army 5years long before going to war....15year!!!,,,you wan go to war in only 1year?

all what biafra did was reverse-engineer.......by 1960 western nations had more advanced tanks than this biafran-invention...

it doesnt even cross your mind that the rest of nigeria can reverse-engineer too...not only igbos have smart-heads in nigeria..

What then did your heroes reversed engineered.?

nonaira:
You have to realize some of the weaponry were built during the war so they did have limited time to build, test and perfect it. In addition, expand their weaponry into something more sophisticated. They probably would have thought of all you just wrote if they had more time to prepare. Judging they built all those weapons while at war, it safe to conclude they built what they thought was necessary to fend of their attacker. You have to give them props, for an African group to build all that while at war is short of awe. This shows me if Biafra wasn't forced back to Nigeria, it l very likely would have been a technology advanced state, not the retrogressing crap it's forced to join that still clap for now producing pencil 2016 and they, Nigerians, are applauding their minister of science and technology because the country is set to now produce pencil..what a fucking joke.

If Biafra had survived, she would have repeated the Japanese miracle in Africa. Causing Africans to catch up with other advanced nations

revolt:
a jet engine needs precision and funds. biafra didn't have all that. The technical know how simply wasn't there

Wrong. The problem is that no one knew how it works. if they knew, they would have produced it.

Aigbofa:
Lie.

Who was the President of Cameroon in the 1960s and what tribe was he.?
I don't lie like you in order to win.

thedarksider:
even with all this inventions,we still overran you....

you may have the brains,but we have the numbers....dont underestimate us....

dont you think its a better idea to combine brains and numbers than fighting each other the ol time??..

You guys were lucky that no Biafra knew how to produce bullet/shell/jet technologies.

If they knew, coupled with the ones they knew, you might have ended up in one hard labour plantation as vanquished people

Aigbofa:
Cameroon shares a border with Nigeria, Cameroon was a French colony, France was sympathetic to Biafra. Please connect the dots.

Cameroon was pro-Nigeria because they had a Fulani president then who helped blockade Biafra by land.

Why did you think we lost Bakassi peninsula

Go back to your history classes

revolt:
I think you have a point. They hadn't mastered the art of creating projectiles. those tanks were the 1st step to inventing the wheel .....eeerrmmm that being said, they were still ages nd miles ahead of the federal govt. If that momentum in science had been sustained, by now we'd have greatly improved in our engineering . This nigeria is just cursed n retrogressive sha.

The only projectile technology they knew was guided rocket aka missile.

If they knew how to build bullet/shell technology, Nigeria troops would have perished and vanquished.

If they had gone an extra mile to successfully build a jet engine technology, Lagos, Kano and Kaduna, would have been reduced to rumbles like Berlin.

Aigbofa:
Biafra was blockaded but if food could get to Biafra through Gabon what made it impossible for CKD machine parts?

Pls go and check the things aeroplanes of 1960s could carry and come back to tell me.

Aigbofa:
It is a blatant lie, there was no foundries in Biafra capable of building any of the parts you are looking at in those pictures, and nobody destroyed and factory after the war.

Was Biafra blockaded by sea and air.?

Go back to your history classes.

Sorry, I remember that Nigeria don't teach history in order to hide the truth.

Aigbofa:
Innoson is an assembler of Chinese made parts, much like what the Biafrans did. The only difference is that the Biafrans most likely bought old, derelict milItaly hardware and tried to refurbish them.
You can lie to yourself all you want that is your own problem.
Ojukwu told his scientists "let's make a tank" and like magicians they just made it out of the thin air. Tell that to your fellow one track minded people.

If you took your history classes serious, you would have known that Biafra was blockade by sea/air and therefore, could not import such machineries through her sea.

Aigbofa:
Those were parts bought from the international market and crudely put together by the Biafrans. If those parts were indeed made in Biafra what happened to the foundries that made the parts? Did anyone destroy any factory after the war?
I don't understand why people are lying to themselves.

Yes they were destroyed by a retrogressive leader called Gowon.

Why did you think Nigerian Steel industry was built in Ajaokuta after the war against the original design by a white man to build it at Onitsha

kettykin:
With all this metal scraps yet biafra still woefully lost the war, which simply makes technology not the sole means of winning a country backed by Britain and Soviet union.
If Biafra had built more of Airborne vehicles and rockets that could haul payloads and hit with precision, targets that are more than 100 km away in dodan barracks, Kano, Kaduna etc possibly the war could have been prolonged, if biafra had mastered the art and technology of building under ground tunnels with fish ponds , poultry farms, water purification plants, refined pharmaceutical plants , nuclear power stations, nuclear arsenals, nuclear powered submarines that could blow up all the naval ships of the invaders, biafra would definitely have won the war after just 6 days.


Any body promoting biafra must be a mad and insane person. Igbos should just be contented in nigeria

Sometimes you talk without deep research and reasoning.

One reason we lost the war, was because no one knew how to build ammunitions technology

If the Biafrans, knew how to produced bullets and shells, the money they spent importing one bullet, would have been used to produce 100 local bullets/shells.

The capacity to produced 100 local bullets/shell for one foreign bullet/shell, would have meant more bullets/shells for Biafra troops.

So the technology that we lacked that rendered Biafra weak is the bullet/shell technology and also jet engine technology

Till today, bullet/shell technology and jet engine technology are yet to be developed.

Aigbofa:
Those were parts bought from the international market and crudely put together by the Biafrans. If those parts were indeed made in Biafra what happened to the foundries that made the parts? Did anyone destroy any factory after the war?
I don't understand why people are lying to themselves.

aresa:
Chain reaction..lmao..
You people no go kille pesin with lafta I swear...

Afonjas doing what they know best even when the all whole know that they can't produced a single candle let alone war machines

On a serious note, ask God in prayers and always tell God whatever advice and idea people give to you concerning development of your community so that, you don't take a foolish step

From his comment, you will know why his region remains backward

You want Palestinian and Western Sahara states but kill Biafran separatists.

Excess foul milk is disturbing this senator.

TonyeBarcanista:
He is not different from those Churches that usually block Lagos-Ibadan Express road which leads to lots of traffic in Lagos mainland.

Most times, you talk before you think.

Burn him to death

HARDBOI:
