    Igbos lifs were taken, businesses destroyed, properties destroyed, they were left with nothing in their community. 50 years later they're still the richest people individually in Nigeria. Despite continue oppressions on their lifs and businesses they still Excel... That's to show you, there is nothing man can do to take away your God given blessing

Your people are uneducated, poor and still live like we are in the Stone Age. Igbos are educated, intelligent and own businesses. The Hausa Fulani still follow an ancient book that appealed to people in 700 AD. How backward can one get

    the part that got me was when Ben Enwonwu, my mentor in the arts (me being a sculptor) said he warned Ojukwu against secession. if only these warnings were heeded... if only there were no revenge coups, if only the supreme Commander Ironsi had tried Nzeogwu and co, if only the Sardauna of Sokoto Ahmadu Bello, Akintola, Awolowo, Azikiwe, Okpara, etc cooperated... if only we grew up in a peaceful country..there wouldn't have been a reason to fight that senseless war.

    • @nobad6134

      Nonsense. The North was never going to accept peace with the South in those early days unless a major stand was taken. A bully only understands getting punched in the nose. The government did nothing about the Igbo pogroms in the North. I don't agree with the rashness of Ojukwu in declaring secession so quickly. He seemed to be inflated by ego and desire to take his place in history. Biafra was clearly not ready at all. He should have gathered more international support first before launching any war and also prepared more arms. The rag tag Biafran army he led into battle against a Nigerian army stacked with all the odds- both East and West funding and arms, was a futile exercise overall. The fact it lasted for 3 years shows their ingenuity and tactical guile despite the circumstances. But overall it was still a major mistake to launch war when one is not ready.

      @francisdenedo8299 6 років тому +2

      Oliver Marawueke
      you're very correct ... but the lack of preparedness stemmed from the fact that Ojukwu was pressured by the then leaders of thoughts, students and the returnees from other parts of the country. though I don't support the war, one must appreciate the facts as it was then. in his book, EMEKA by Frederick Forsythe, Ojukwu was quoted to have said he didn't expect Gowon to fight. he in fact wanted to call the bluff of the Federal Government. but it was an unfortunate gamble that led to the loss of of about one million lives.

    • @nobad6134
      @nobad6134 6 років тому +9

      Maybe I am talking from the benefit of hindsight but common sense back then should have shown the Nigerians if they decided to fight would eventually overwhelm Biafra. I don't see how Gowon would have backed down knowing all the oil existed in the large swathe of territory Ojukwu claimed in a new republic and how ill-equipped Ojukwu was. Thought leaders and students can advocate and lament all they want but it is up to great leaders to withstand the pressure and choose the smart path. He should have demanded patience and pragmatically prepared for secession because once the starting gun of secession was fired, some war would seem inevitable.

      You don't know what you are saying. When Zik took the highest votes in the 1959 general elections and Awo came second, with Balewa coming 3rd, why did your Igbo ancestors chose to form a government with Balewa, who came 3rd and left Awolowo hanging? Think about that.
      When the Igbo dominated coup occured and lots of Northern & SW leaders were murdered, how many Igbo politician were assassinated? None.
      When Aguiyi Ironsi took over the government and abolished the regional system of government, was he doing so for the benefits of the Yorubas & Hausa-Fulani?
      When you sow seeds, ve very much prepared of the fruits that it will bear and stop pointing fingers at Yorubas, as if they are your problems.
      What happened in Igangan, is happening all over Nigeria and every region is rising up to the occasion and unless you wanna deny the fact, the Yorubas are confronting these issues head on...many are being confronted behind the scenes and out of the glares of the media.
      After all, you saw and heard how the interviewed Yorubas, expressed hope of accepting Igbos and laying the blame squarely on Ojukwu and not the whole tribe. Also, it is on record that despite your betrayal against us in the 1959 elections, the Yorubas returned your properties back to your people and never held grudges against you whilst in Portharcourt, no igbo properties were returned to them.
      I just hope History can be returned back to our educational curriculum, maybe then, people like you can know the truth.

You guys want to introduce sharia into the constitution to drag every other person into the mud and pit. I can assure you that as long as Jehova lives and sits on the throne, The Igbos and other willing tribes in South East will have their nation. Buhari has produced the number 1 poverty capital in the world, genocide, anarchy, disobedience of court orders unemployment, Islamization/Fulanization just to mention a few. Where is Buhari knowledge of physics, economics, chemistry, Mathematics literature and common senses. Why is admission requirement into the universities in Nigeria always lower for the northerners than the southerner? If you guys are all that smart and have human civilization figured out as you suggest, why not make the admission criteria such as scores same for every body. You talked about Igbos being the more backward of the 3 maim tribes 200 years ago. That may not be disputed. People have to grow. That is the essence of life. To advance, mature. The Romans brought reading, writing and civilization to Europe. But guess what, Germany is more advanced than Italy today. My point is that, just because you were better 200 yrs ago, does not make you smarter today. if you pursue the wrong ideology that suppresses the intellectual spirit of your people, you have your self to blame not any other tribe. The Igbos want to creat a 1st world, industrialized country. Staying in Nigeria will make that ambition impossible to attain. Sharia is incompatible with industrialization and civilization. Please, in the name of The Creator of Heaven and Earth, I ask you the Fulanis, Hausa and other northern tribes to let the Igbos go to serve their Jehova and build a first class economy. We do not want war. Enough of our blood have been spilled. We do not want to kill Fulanis, Hausas or for that matter any tribe in Nigeria. Enough said.
