In light of the Al Queda inspired terrorism sweeping Nigeria, the case for a 100% Christian Biafra as a bulwark against 100% Al Queda infested northern Nigeria and 50% moslem in western Nigeria is now attracting sympathetic ears from the West
Give us aid against the enemy for the help of man is worthless. With God we shall gain the victory and He will trample down our enemies." --- Psalm 60: 11 - 12.

After watching the Jesus Christ Airline documentary, I have only one wish, THAT MY PEOPLE MAY WAKE UP AND KNOW THE TRUTH , AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FREEDOM THAT OUR FATHER; MOTHERS; BROTHERS; SISTERS; COUSINES; NEPHEWS etc. DOES NOT ALL DIED IN VAIN!!
Until the freedom for the Biafras is assured their souls will not be at rest..

Nigeria is very unatural and was created by man (British), that is why it can´t stand! Biafran nation is natural just like the youruba or even the Alkaida-fulani northern caliphate. So every one must be allowed to exist independently, period!!
nigerians let ibos go but one tin for sure is without the ibos no nigeria dat i can bet ibos re the pillars of nigeria if ibos should go nigeria will colaps...
We want our BIAFRA! Must we share a country with an AL-QUAIDA infested northern islamist Nigeria? Lazy magots, uneducated, siting there to rip from oil-money while oil-owner perishes! Used trillions oil-money to develope a modern city ABUJA, but says NO to common drinking water for oil-owners, rather send troops to kill what is left of the SOUTH SOUTH-BIAFRA! Under BIAFRA, south south would according to merits be much made our paradise, with beaches in Rivers-state and CrossR.Tourist attractive
Time for our own COUNTRY!! WE CANNOT CONTINUE WITH THE WICKED TERRORIST NORTHERN ISLAMIST NIGERIA!! DISINTEGRATION IS A WAY BACK TO ORIGINALITY BEFORE THE BRITISH EMERGED NATIONS OF MAJOR DIFFERENCES! DISINTERGRATION WOULD FURTHER SERVE THE INTERESTS OF THE USA, EU AND THE WORLD. IT MEANS THEY CAN EFFECTIVELY FISH OUT ALQUAIDA IN THE TERRORIST STATE OF NORTHERN NIGERIA! GOD BLESS!!
igbo youth stand up now lets come together ,form economic alliance world wide through inter-net to over come our problem .stand up now ,both rich and poor, educated non educated ,professionals and non professional . time we unite together to tackle our difficulties in life ,time we respect and chat with one another .lets consider problem facing igbos world wide .
I listened to Voice of Biafra. The broadcast touched me so much. Some one said how can somebody say that God was the one that put Nigeria together? It was the British, but if one says it was the devil that put Nigeria together well.... I gave the statement much reasoning. I will like to ask every one, PLEASE WHO DO YOU THINK PUT NIGERIA TOGETHER AND WHY?
The devil did, and his mission was to inflict so much pain on God's people - Biafrans, to see if they will curse their God. But we will not! Biafra Alive!
WE the BIAFRANS we made intellectual poeple scientist founder of internet no dout check my fact we have already make plans for EVIL nigera they are on our mercy if they dont no.
I want some one to tell me,why on earth should we not continue to fight for our course.igbo peoples are always target in hauser land,they tried to impose sharialaw every where,they want to naija to whatever they want,i still wonder why they wouldn't want us to be on our own that is mad.God bless Biafra,we shall over come.
I support a free Biafra! though not African..was this war because of Religion..I herd that Islam was in the north and Catholicism is the Biafra igbo area..Vive la Biafra!
@phoneciansailor... No, it was not a war of religion.. it was a Genocidal war, invoked by political machinery, spin and lies. Backed mainly by Harold Wilson's Britain and Russia, Brute force was meted upon a defenceless people, hence the ensuing battle for the survival of an entire people knowns as Biafrans. It lasted from 1967-1970
Nigerian soldiers during the war were all WAR CRIMINALS.Killing small children,rapping, starving, bombing civillian targets, poisoning food from relieve agencies meant for civilians and commiting attrocities unheard in human history.God WILL REPAY THEM.SACRIFICE AND OFFERING WILL NEVER WASH AWAY THEIR SIN TOGETHER WITH THOSE THAT SUPPORTED THEM.May the Lord avenge the blood OF OVER 2MILLION CHILDREN AND INNOCENT CIVILIANS KILLED IN COLD BLOOD IN JESUS NAME AMEN!
Why do Nigerians not have a war memorial and why is Biafra day illegal? In the confederate south (USA) they still have a flag and memorials, even Irish republicans. The Scottish have a Nationalist party... Why are Nigerians so paranoid about Ibos but still won't allow them be?
The Biafrans suffered so much...Words can not describe how I feel looking at the images of children who suffered from the terrible protein deficiency, kwashiorkor.
Read 'Half of a Yellow Sun' recently and that alerted me to the Biafran war. The actions of the Nigerian state were shameful in that war. I wonder though, the gangs in the delta, any connection to the continued Biafran struggle?
I've literally just finished that book and its outstanding! Adichie reveals the atrocities and the sufferings that the Biafrans faced in the 1966 pogroms and during the war. Its very sad and I just hope that the anyone that was affected by the war received counselling.
I also recommend Fredrick Forsyth's "The Biafra Story" although his partial throughout the book, he reveals to the reader from the 15th Century onwards til the end of the war, how Nigeria is formed today.
When we speak of our heroes in our struggle to actualize Biafra, we have to include the following brothers of ours who are MASSOB members still in Nigerias jails. Their crime? Exercising the God-given right to be responsible for, and in charge of, our own individual and own collective destiny.
These brothers and sisters of ours are truly heroes, because they saw and experienced the unrelenting Evil that is Nigeria crushing our people to death, and they said, No! We will fight this thing by taking ourselves and our nation out of the failed and poisonous State known by Nigeria.
While others went into psychological denial or just talked about the rapacious and hopeless existence that Nigeria has become for our people, these brethren of ours acted, knowing the dangers, fully aware of the consequences, attendant to the process of actualization of Biafra. And, they are still performing acts designed to give us Biafra. Let us remember and honor them today; for, no one deserves it more than they do.
Woe unto this den of hypocrisy called Nigeria: it is finished. Nigeria is finished. Woe unto Nigerians who pretend that Nigeria is going somewhere other than deeper into the abyss of Hades: they are truly cursed. Woe unto cowardly Nigerians who pretend that they can show their faces in the world arena by writing or speaking empty sound-good words when the entire planet knows that they are morally, spiritually, physically, psychically and mentally bereft: lacking, deprived and deprave - bankrupt.
War is not a game and should be avoided at all cost. My question is: Can we say the same thing about marginalisation, exploitation, religious- motivated and military-executed genocide? Can we apply the same reasoning that after 47 years of Hausa/fulani and Yoruba Oligarchs domination of Nigeria there has never been a free and fair election conducted or accepted by the governments, never a standard census and never a sovereign national conference to establish a truly peoples' constitution.
Are you all insane??? You talk about war as if its a game! Have you not seen the footage of the consequences the war and indeed other wars? you talk about 1 to 5 millions ibgos being killed in a 3 to 20 year war... Those who glorify war are usually thoses who have never experienced war. Idiots like you should not be allowed to insult the sacrifices made by those unfortunate enough to have experienced war!
I am not Biafran, but I am indeed a friend & supporter of independence. As a pacifist and as a human being I believe that hatred has never overcome hatred & that love is always the answer. At the same time, if someone was killig my loved ones in front of me I would do whatever I had to do to stop them. For the present, I pray there is a peaceful resolution. Every human being is immeasurably precious. May there be an end to suffering for all living beings on earth.
To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
mr okoroman, I know your people suffered at hands of Nigerians. They the ones responsible should be punished. But I am in minority most people dont even know what Biafra is little alone its history. You need some media coverage a pity you are not jewish
"This is not an occasion to stir up emotions, but it is impossible to forget that men, women and children of our kith & kin were taken out of their beds and slaughtered. They were massacred in places of worship, in the streets, in market places and in vehicles trying to carry them to safety."
The truth is that injustice against one man anywhere is injustice against humanity and Biafrans have had enough of it in the failed state of Nigeria. It is time for the world to pay attention to the continued genocide against Biafrans now!
Not only has the State of Nigeria participated directly in this crime against humanity, but it has maintained an enabling environment which facilitates and encourages other Nigerians and State governments to kill and maim Biafrans at will, destroy the property of Biafrans and uproot Biafrans wherever they may be found in Nigeria.
By making no efforts at all to investigate and bring to justice individual and corporate offenders in these crimes, the State of Nigeria has proved that it places no value on the life and property of Biafrans living in Nigeria; worse still, the state of Nigeria has proven that it has a vested interest in the destruction of Biafrans.
The Lagos State government razed business stalls and markets built and maintained by Biafrans living in that State, without reason, without compensation, and threatened to burn more such structures. In the Muslim North, during and after the aforementioned rampages, Northern civilians and security agents would selectively target, loot, burn and destroy the business and personal property of Biafrans residing in Northern Nigeria, as well as Christian Churches where Biafrans worship.
The 1966 massacres of Biafrans set the stage for the Biafra-Nigeria War of 1967 to 1970, during which Nigeria overstepped the bounds of what is acceptable in war, by maintaining a total food blockade of Biafra, aided by at least 6 other countries, including world-powers, resulting in the starvation-death of millions of Biafran children, women and elderly non-combatants.
Nigeria's war doctrine, publicized then and put into practice during that war (and even now), was to kill every Biafran, including unborn children. It can thus be concluded and backed up by the experience of Biafrans and even the admissions of the State of Nigeria that the lives and property of Biafrans are to be taken and destroyed, not secured.
The first massive and state-directed pogrom, genocide and ethnic cleansing directed against Biafrans (the Eastern Nigerians at that time) by Nigeria occurred in 1966, in Northern Nigeria especially, but also in Western Nigeria. Casualty figures ran into the hundreds of thousands of Biafrans killed, many more wounded, and all driven out of other parts of Nigeria and chased away there from.
By the end of that year, two more similar bloody waves were to occur, with the same devastating consequences for Biafrans. Prior to that, there were few other recorded instances in Northern Nigeria with much fewer casualties, with Biafrans as the target and victims.
Biafrans are killed on a daily basis all over Nigeria, including occupied Biafra.
Most times, it is extrajudicial killing by Nigeria Police, Nigeria Armed Security Agencies, and Nigeria's Secret Death Squads. Even when such is admitted by the State of Nigeria's killing machinery there is no inquest, no accountability, no explanation, no apologies, no proper trials, no convictions, no remorse, and no compensation. Lately, MASSOB members have borne the brunt of these unconscionable acts.
Biafrans are also killed en masse, singled out and targeted as a group, in Muslim Northern Nigeria, with a frightening cyclicity and staggering toll. This is the result of a combination of Muslim religious imperative coupled with racially-motivated and targeted mayhem directed against Biafrans.
Once again, this is done openly, using state-provided logistics; there is no inquest, no arrests, no real trials, no convictions, no remorse, no apologies, no compensation and no end in sight for this abhorrent behavior; even when Biafran casualties number in the thousands. Although this atrocious activity qualifies as genocide and or ethnic cleansing, the international community has yet to react.
A recent press report states that between 2001 and mid-2004, 54,000 persons died in Jos, Northern Nigeria alone, as a result of this type of mayhem. The government official announcing the figures refused to give a breakdown as to the ethnicity of the victims, but we know that a huge majority of them were Biafrans. He was also silent about Kano and Kaduna and other Muslim cities where such bloody events occur on a much larger scale over a longer period of time and with more frequency.
Since 1980, in almost all the cities of Northern Nigeria Biafrans have been attacked and slaughtered in tens of thousands by organized Northern militants more than two dozen times.
In the Muslim North, during and after the aforementioned rampages, Northern civilians and security agents would selectively target, loot, burn and destroy the business and personal property of Biafrans residing in Northern Nigeria, as well as Christian Churches where Biafrans worship.
It is the custom of the people of Biafra to perform proper burial for their dead. Without a body, there is no proper burial; without identifying the corpse, proper burial cannot proceed. Healthy psychosocial closure becomes impossible.
It is also the policy of the State of Nigeria to quickly burn beyond recognition corpses of the Biafran victims of the well-orchestrated and targeted killings of Biafrans and other Christians in Northern Nigerian by Muslims; and thereafter, dump the remains in secret, unmarked mass graves.
The same treatment has been given to scores of Biafrans recently being hunted down and shot to death by the Nigeria Police in Onitsha and other cities in Biafra, following which their bodies are dumped in unmarked mass graves in the forests.
The State of Nigeria has no qualms defending its policy, not based on Public Health considerations, but based on the reason that repatriating corpses of Biafran dead back to Biafraland for proper postmortem care would only infuriate Biafrans into reprisal and revenge.
There are many problems with this practice by the state of Nigeria. First, the State of Nigeria does not keep official records of Biafran casualties. Secondly, the State of Nigeria accounts to no one for the Biafrans it has murdered. Third, this practice shows a gross lack of respect for Biafrans—both the living and now, also the dead; and a deliberate lack of sensitivity to the culture and customs of the people of Biafra.
All this adds up to the consistent profile of the State of Nigeria as decidedly anti-Biafran in any and all ways. Today, in almost every community in Biafra, there are relatives and friends who are tortured by the uncertainty over the fate of their loved ones, and the ensuing lack of customary closure. All this grief, angst and agony, credit to the a-moral malevolence of the State of Nigeria towards the nation of Biafra and her people.
And you just hit the nail on the head!That is the all mighty difference between the Yoruba and Biafran culture.Age and tribal Titles have no bearing in Biafran Lives,every man woman and child CAN voice opinions,regardless of age!in Yoruba culture,those two factors,"age and tribal titles"are SOLID determinants in the social class structure..Now Looking at these two cultures,who has similarities with WESTERN COUNTRIES?..Seriuosly now....
Still jumping around without focus, I see. You should go and read the articles on how to deal with biafran haters. You are not doing a good job here. You feel you should align yourself to the WESTERN COUNTRIES? Are you proud of your culture at all? I suppose you dont respect your elders. I suppose you are not aware of the frenzy with which your tribesmen gun for useless titles and red caps! Ol'boy go learn how to defend your case.
Our tradition exhibits strong similarities in the whole Biafran region,i.e Efik,ibibio,ibo,ijaw,delta etc.That is, we ARGUE with silly adults if they are not making sense,something which is a RARITY in Yoruba culture,and right here,that is what sets us apart from them...Young,old,women,regardless,everyone has a right to verbalise in Biafraland!..Yoruba culture doesnt permit it..hence their legendary HYPOCRACY skills!
Nwanne, sprich nicht mit ihn!Der ist ein Arschlescher!Dont give him that priviledge of interacting with you,he is a mindless scarvenger,who,s soul job on here is to bring discord.Typical Yoruba He-goat!WE dont go to Yoruba videos,but for some PSYCHOTIC reason there is an ALLURE they have towards ours,like nyphomaniacs hunting down big dicks!which we POSSESS by the way..."laughing"
For devalueing the lives of millions lost,women and children inclusive,you shall pay so dearly. Nigeria couldnt pull shit untill RUSSIA,BRITAIN,EGYPT,SAUDIS etc came to help,well PAYED
All we need is good leadership. Im glad to see the giant strides presently been taking by the likes of Gov. Ikedi Ohakim of Imo State to transform his own state. That is what we need, and not bad-blood or ill-feeling towards others. Okoroman, i suggest to read Ohakim's article at the last world Igbo day titled "Ima Onwe". I can email it to you if u pls.
Right through the 70s,80s,90s and now 2007,the phrase,"what we need is good leadership" is always been the SEDATING DRUG employed to massage the Nigerian brain into FAIRYTALE LAND, untill NEPA strikes and then the nonentities get JOLTED back into reality only to realise, as long as Nigeria exists, BAD LEADERSHIP is here to stay, firmly PUT!!
Well, Nigeria is only 47 years years old. All great countries have gone through the same teething problems, go read your history book. Today Nigeria is not that failed state in Africa that biafrans like to point to. I look at Nigeria, from East to West, North to South I have not seen anything extraordinary from any section of our society, certainly nothing from the Igbos. So where is this idea that you can do better? You are all full of hot air.
You sit in one ADVANCED country and spit out bullderdash! Nigeria,like other DISFUCTIONAL political geographies in Africa was CONSTRUCTED in Europe and by the way,Flora Shaw christened that DUMP Nigeria,which you accept. If that is your history, fine, it arent ours. WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON!..We are PPROUD not accept! what is ur problem??
Nwa Biafra, I suggest we stop responding to that Yoruba ofe mmanu efulefu! Typical Yoruba idiot.If he had any clue, he would be grateful to Biafrans. He should go and read the events that preceded the war. Perhaps he doesn't know that his Yoruba brother, Banjo, joined us because Ojukwu promised to liberate the West from the Northern troops who occupied the western region using the killing spree going on between the Awolowo and Akintola factions as an excuse
Nwanne, I agree. See how the Yoruba's in the NCNC crossed the floor in the 1950's! That's why no one ever takes those cheats seriously. They should be more concerned with reuniting with their lost brothers and sisters in Togo instead of chipping into a Biafra debate! Remember how Awolowo told Ojukwu that if Biafra is declared, Oduduwa republic will be declared 24hrs later...instead Gowon bribed him and the old fool Enahoro into taking positions in Gowon's cabinet..
My happiness is that the callous old fool and anu ofia Enahoro, Nigeria's minister of information and self-styled war propaganda guru is still alive today to see his dreams of annihilating the Igbo never came true! Their grand plan of killing Igbo children through starvation and bombing civilian targets was all hogwash. He travelled all over the world, buying the arms and cutting the deals that led to the slaughter of Biafran children and we are still here! They know we are too much for them!
and do you always see the role call of so called heros,when NTA is shitting out some cut-and-reel documentary about our FUCKING FOREFATHERS?It goes like this,Enahoro,Awo,Zik,obasenjo,Sauda of sokoto,i mean honestly,as a true Biafran can you SWALLOW that and not have stomach upset?The Yorubas fail to see that NATURALLY they have more to work with and SUCCEED as own state than any body else!the idiots speak one language, but again, that Cowardice CANT be ignored as a MAJOR-MINUS for them!
What do you expect when you have fools in charge?All those wannabes mentioned alongside Zik cannot even wipe the floor Zik walked on. Sarduana was a vicious racist. Awo was the same. Enahoro was just a self-centred bigot. Obasanjo was an opportunist - He had the guts to call Aguiyi-Ironsi an alcholic! Aguiyi-Ironsi was such an alcholic that he was the first blackman to commander UN peace keeping forces, yes, before Colin Powell!
Nwanne, i am so interested in this, and by the way, you have a private email from me.
1 thing though, do you remember sometime in the mid 90,s when a Biafran University announced the first HOME MADE AUTOMOBILE? I am still searching for it, we have to document and PUBLICISE our PROWESS! I think it was Nsuka Univeristy!
Wow the anger, the ignorance, the drunken self-importance in these biafrans! Were they born like this or they are just learning to be little Ojukwus?!Phew, somebody must bave tampered with their DNA.Nobody can be this confused.The good news is that they are permanently powerless to effect their stupidity.Go ahead and read more trash about your supposed superiority, in the end it shall destroy u. If devil would allow, u would just be crazy enough to start another war.
If anything the Yorubas should thank their DARK stars for having Biafrans in Nigeria! The hausas would have oven-fried them a lot time ago! The buffoon Awo, who has/had 10percent share of coca coal nigeria ruined thier lives with that 1950,s ignomous act! They are so dillusional to call him an asshole,but we are proud and honest enough to call ZIK a complete ANU OHIA! EWU NMADU!
Nwanne mmadu! I agree with your perspective on Awo, but a lot of people have been mis informed about Zik. Nwanne, I know what I'm talking about as I have researched this area thorougly and have written many articles on the subject. Part of the Nigerian masterplan was to turn us against Zik. Zik was not perfect, but he is one of the greatest Igbos that ever lived. Ojukwu himself comments that he could never disrespect Zik, because he has too much respect for him
I wish I had your email, I would send you loads of articles. Nwanne, we need to read about these issues, so we can challenge all those ignorant fools. If you attended school in any of the Igbo states, you would realise how far the Nigerian establishment went to destroy the Igbo nation, but we didn't know.
Nwanne mmadu, If you can, try and get hold of the speech made by Zik in 1940's to the Igbo State Union. I can gurantee you that your views will change in a matter of seconds.
In the whole of Lagos, only biafran kids and teachers are the best! Darn, you wallow in ignorance, self-importance and self pity. I was raised in Lagos, too, and I didnt see it. In fact I saw a great number of Igbos charged with document fraud..most especially certificates. But unlike you I never thought it was an Igbo thing, my sense was that it was a national problem. The igbo thing, so far, is selling fake goods, they don't limit the danger to outsiders, they sell to their own too!
Destroy Igbo nation? Talk to your inept governors and stop looking outside for your enemies, there are enemies within your so-called nation. The chief enemy of course is Ojukwu. One day, not too long, you would discover the destruction that Col. brought on you people.
Zik turned on Ojukwu not because he did not believe in Biafra, but to stop the killing of innocent Biafrans. Biafra was recognised by Tanzania, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Zambia and Haiti due to the efforts of Zik and his son Chukwuma Azikiwe. The Nigerians were not interested in fighting Biafran soldiers. They wanted to kill off all our women and children, that's why they bombed public places. Zik was invited on several occasions to advise and participate in successive regimes. He refused all offers
Like i said, these FACTS am yet to find out, but if he honestly did what you say he did, i might take out a new paint brush then, but before that, i DO MY OWN FINDINGS. Anyhow this proves my point,until we find our own state,we Biafrans should start writing and documenting our own history.This animals are out to wipe us out!given the chance again,they would not blink an eye lid!
Okoroman, why are you trying to incite bad-blood? This is not necessary. We are all one Nigeria irrespective of where you come from. We should move forward and join hands together to build our country, instead of inciting centrifugal tendencies. We no need am man. May God help us. Long Live Nigeria!!!
Who are your enemies? This is the problem with biafrans, they see enemies in places where nothing exists. When you call ur fellow citizens enemies, then you are simply uncivilized, irrational and in need of psychological help.
Hmm, it is only the uneducated that sees yoruba as cowards. Cowards don't build empire...Have u ever heard of Oyo empire? Go read some history books and come back and talk.
That aside, tribal talk, like urs and Akeinyene speaks voulume of ur intelligence.
wow akeinyene!!! you really need to calm down and reevalute yourself and your mode of reasoning. There can only be one Nigeria no matter what ethnic groups live in it, Igbos or not. Think about that
the problem of nigeria = igbos. You guys need to stop this crap. i suggest that nigeria be divided into four place, igbos, yoruba, north and niger delta ( excluding igbos)... you guys steal too much, look at anambra state, ontisha, zones of arm roberry.. no one wants to live with igbos, dont u get it... fools u wanted to force this biafran shit on calabar ppl, thank God, we were served by nigeria
This is my second meeting with you and like the first, I find u offensive, needlessly tribal and ignorant. The Igbos, minus the biafran sympathizers, are good human beings and faithful Nigerians. They don't deserve your abuse. Take it somewhere else.
I wonder if the British PM Harold Wilson would be proud today with the type of Nigeria he created through his determination to fight Biafra with everything in the British arsenal short of nukes.A Nigerian nation he upheld is today a by-word for corruption,oppression and injustice.Shame on PM H Wilson
I'm a Nigerian and totally believe in the cause of the Biafrans. The Nigerian leadership should be held responsible and charged for "crimes against humanity".
WE are not quick to forget the £20.00-limit financial/economic strangulation he placed on our people(The Biafrans) immediately after the war, at a time when Awo instigated the privatisation of many Government owned concerns.
Awolowo the wartime Nigerian minister of finance and deputy chairperson of the war cabinet amongst others was responsible for fanatically championing Nigeria's notorious "starvation as weapon/quick kill" strategy on Biafra, which resulted in the death of a huge percent of the total Igbo war casualty including children.
After all, Awolowo did not abandon his people. He did not lead them to war without adequate planning, thinking foolishly he could take on Nigeria and the world and win..(the biafrans must be really superior!) and then ran away to protect his life. That is the spoilt brat Ojukwu for u.
One curious thing about all these pictures is that we have never seen pictures of Biafran soldiers dying from Kwashiokor; only children. This is in spite of the hundreds of tons of foodstuff sent into our territory by foreign countries. Now we know what happened to the foodstuff. It went to feed the army. Let the children starve. Shame.
Who misinformed you that the soldiers didn't starve. FYI soldiers are trained to survive in very harsh conditions but that is beyond the scope of this discussion. Do you know that some soldiers eat human bodies to survive?
This Okoroperson cant accept the fact even when he is made to ingest it. Evidently the man is not aware of the propaganda behind these pictures. Biafran soldiers were well fed and their leaders, especially Ojukwu were well cared for.
Yes unfortunately, there are many things that were not discussed (thank God we didn't see it on tape): The raping of Biafran girls by leper men (from Nigeria), opened wombs of pregnant women to extract the fetus and kick like ball. The explosion of men with bombs..... all these atrocities commited after nigeria invades and takes over Biafraland!
I am always amazed by the sheer simple-mindedness of these biafrans, citizens of an imaginary country. If u call a war and u r defeated, why not take timeto blame urself for the way u called and fought the war? Why blame the winners?
By the way, do u seriously think biafrans would have defeated Nigeria? Do u seriously think biafrans had what it took to win? You are thoroughly misguided, such as that certain selfish, spoilt col. did.
Biafra has been an ancient kingdom of old. Take a look at the maps of Africa between 16th-19th century. Our parents generaton knew this and decided to go the old way. Biafra is not a figment of imagination, Nigeria is a creation of the British...please wake up and research
Let biafra go where? And who are you to be saying that? My friend, biafra was and ended, leave it alone. If you bring it up again, like in the 70s it will be crushed.
Right on..Okoroman enjoys the same freedom he would deny to others. He is all about hot air. He lacks what it takes to lead another biafran war, he is a luck man who is living in comfort provided by the west while shooting from hip about wars and balkanization of a nation. Let him enjoy seeing his opinion in the cyberworld and let the rest of us enjoy the believe that he is incapable of converting his words to action.
This is a very disturbing video indeed. I don't know how we continue to feel this way about one another. It is rather shameful, and all of you should be ashamed of yourselves .Old men like you. If we get Biafra where will it end ? And then the Ijaw want to secede fro Biafra, and Efik follow behind. Another civil war. We will soon get a cake that nobody will be able to eat. Good luck to you all
Has a stone/monument been raised to remembers our Biafran heroes? Answer: No. Our heroes are mourning as the have not been given a forfitting burial talkless of rememberance, until now (with this video).
You want a stone monument for rebels? Tell the governors in the East to create them. Better yet, let Ojukwu use his money or raise it to build them, he led them to their death, now let him remember them with his money.
By the way, did u ever ask urself why Ojukwu accepted IBB rehabilitation without insisting same for other rebels or the wounded and abandoned biafra soldiers?
Now you know how we feel. Now you learn. It is never too late too learn something. Know this: Biafra is real, our people want Biafra! Biafra cannot be shoved under the carpet!
When was the last time nigeria was great?...had one of the strongest currencies...was the 2nd oil exporter in the world....was the richiest country in africa..thus earning the title "giant of africa"...and most of all asked britain to Butt out!.. well it was when Nnamdi Azikiwe the first nigerian president was in charge. go figure!!!
Ignorance is a bliss among these biafrans lol. Zik, my perosnal hero, was a ceremonial president. He had ZERO power to influence the economy! What is the matter with u people anyway?
I'm igbo and I feel we need to put this behind us. There is no way we will ever make an independant nation. The British and Americans will never allow it. Do you want them to do us like they have done Iraq. I don't know about you but I don't think Nigeria can take another civli war. Make no mistake though we would be a successful nation.
Let us, the new generation join hands together to remove all the bastards that are ruining our country, and the old cargoes causing disaffection amongst us... including the fool who posted this arsehole video on youtube.
Look man I don't hate you . I don't know much about Awolowo (not my generation) and if he stole , I am sure he's presently answering to his maker . What I am against is people bringing dead and rotten meat to the table. Forget the past , use the present to create a better future , is my policy. Ugbo kwenu !!
So now Obasanjo is your problem ? Thank God he is out of office, else you will add him to your litany of taskmasters. By the way, did the Yoruba people vote for Obasanjo. And who amongst your list of yoruba demons did the yorubas vote into office ? The igbo tacitly supported them directly or indirectly for sake of filthy lucre. I think you need medication my friend
I especially respect the saying that "A yoruba thief must have been born somewhere else". An igbo thief is a local hero having passed this most important test of manhood. Go to school brother.
True talk, the way yoruba thieves like Obasanjo , Makujuola, Balogun , Ehindero, Bode George, Fayose and all those parasitically lazy Yoruba theives were conceived by the power of the igbo man and were born in mars . no be so?
Just the typical igbo penchant for witchunting. You assume immediately that I am yoruba. I thought you say the north is the cause of your problems. You people will never face up to life and to your selves. Always continually looking for someone to blame your woes on. I am not yoruba, and I am sure the yoruba people have their own problems, but nobody ever hears them carry the problems everywhere and telling all that cares to listen that it was caused by someone else.
Amen, Nigerian. biafrans need to stop fighting the war they lost more than 30 years ago. It doesnt help their causes to be needlessly attacking other Nigerians. biafrans must look inward if they want to find fault. They need to stop crying wolves and deal with the monsters inside them. This monster led them to a war that reasonable people should have known was not winable. It is the same monster that makes them blame others for their woes and make them into cry babies.
....and I must add for your benefit that 419 is not a "business". It is stealing pure and simple. Send your children to school to learn legitimate trades or earn a good degree. But of course that is too much work. You'd rather make one million in a day by any crooked means possible.
When we consider the per capita effect of the different ethnic groups on the progress of the country, methinks the igbos are the worst things that ever happened to Nigeria : greedy,truthless, ruthless, uncivilised, uncivilisable ,ungodly, immature , unforgiving , thieving........ I could go on, only the spirit of God warns me not to generalise. Grow up , you lot and face the future with courage instead of continuing to weep like babies over what happened to you yesterday.
This riceanddodo fuckin fool needs to shut his trap or else! - Its only his ignorance that precludes him from realising that while the Northern Feudalists and Western apologists were busy squabbling over how a secessionist clause should be written into the 1960 Independence constitution, it was only the Igbos from the East that fully supported a "One Nigeria". All of a sudden the discovery of oil has made every dick and harry believe in Nigerian-ness umu anu ofia!
Same illness that befell Ojukwu and his biafra, inability to accept, examine, discuss opposing views. "shut his trap or else!" Same empty warning from biafrans. Or else what? What are you capable of doing to riceanddodo? The man has more sense than u. He knows the limitations of life. Only dreamers think biafra would be successful. It would have failed. U had too many nationalities who did not trust the Igbos. U included oil fields that do not belong to u. Go figure, biafran dreamers.
If it wasn't for the comments of Francis Cummings-Bruce, the British high commissioner to Nigeria at the time, and the fact that your northern brothers followed what ever the British said like sheep, there would have been no war.
The war was supposed to be a short surgical action that would last for 10 days; the British didn't count on the fact that your brothers refused to fight at night, yet awarded themselves every rank and medal going! what a joke!
Too many nationalities that didn't trust the Igbos? Read the facts! The Igbos were the first to deal with the minorities in the Eastern Region on an equal footing after centuries of domination. Before Biafra was declared, 300 representatives from every part of the Eastern Region, majority of who were non-Igbo, voted in favour of the declaration. Go read the Proclamation of Biafra published in International legal Materials 1967, Volume 6 page 665-680 before you continue spreading fakeass lies!
What is it in the lives of the Igbos that make their fellow citizens not trust them? That is what you need to concern yourself about. Time for you to stop crying like spoilt babies, Those people you think are part of you then would have fought you again, they will never be part of your scheme today. biafrans cry too darn much. Go and get a life, nobody hates the Igbos, it is all in your heads. And if they hate you, why you of all the nationalities in Nigeria?
Ah...you don't trust us abi? that's why NAFDAC, Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank are in, or have been in the hands of Igbos...trust me we are not crying..you are jealous because you know you will never be as courageous or smart as an Igboman..fact!
wow, this is the classic Igbo response. If you don't hate them you are jealous of them! Let me tell you this, I am not one of those Nigerians who sees tribe in public office. I don't celebrate it. I believe in placing one of many capables in a position of public trust. Unlike you, I dont think Soludo is the only qualified Nigerian to hold that office. He will serve his country and leave and somebody else would take his place.
You brought up the issue of trust? I thought I'd let you know that these Igbos you don't trust have been handling your money! In fact running the Nigerian economy! A bit foolish, I'd say to put an untrustworthy person in a fiduciary position.
I have no problem trusting my fellow citizens who happen to be Igbos, my beef is with the knuckleheads biafrans. Thank God they are in the minority and dem don miss road.
Are you not embarrassed? Biafra crushed by who? You had to engage Britain, USSR, Czechoslovakia, Egypt etc to crush Biafra; which by the way was less than a 1\4 of Nigeria. And guess what! It took you 3 years to do it.. the only way you could succeed was to employ Nazi tactics i.e. starvation of women and children. I can assure you that until your beloved Nigeria atones for the blood of all those innocent Biafran babies the Country will continue to be plagued with civil unrests and violence
First ask Ojukwu to atone for leading Nigerians to their early graves. Sure you fought Britain, USSR, Egypt and all! U didnt fight Nigerians and got crushed. Listen to yourself! I tell you the biafran mind is something to behold. Strange how it works. Who made you people deaf and dumb to your sorroundings? Oh mine oh mine..it would have been funny if not sad.
Adunbarin, feel PRIVILEDGED for having the attention of some INTELLECTUAL Biafrans right on here. But judging from how your train of thought BUCKLES,you might be Yoruba.
The Yorubas are very cowardly,incompetent and worst of all BACKSTABBERS!.Counting on you for shit,is ALMOST ALWAYS a FATAL mistake!
Yorubas have been backstabbers right from historical times and will always be conniving thieving cheats and backstabbers who follow any piper that plays a tune. Remember how the British came into Lagos - Wasn't it Dosunmu, Kosoko's son who sold his own father out? The problem is they take this "sell out" behaviour where ever they go...
My brother i just do not want to believe that its an inherent trait. They are so adepth in this undignifying act of hypocracy that only a NEANTHERTAL would envy such a people.Lets just safely assume, its the Yoruba culture thats to blame...i lived with them Nwanne, i know!...."sell outs" first class!!
In light of the Al Queda inspired terrorism sweeping Nigeria, the case for a 100% Christian Biafra as a bulwark against 100% Al Queda infested northern Nigeria and 50% moslem in western Nigeria is now attracting sympathetic ears from the West

I've literally just finished that book and its outstanding! Adichie reveals the atrocities and the sufferings that the Biafrans faced in the 1966 pogroms and during the war. Its very sad and I just hope that the anyone that was affected by the war received counselling.
I also recommend Fredrick Forsyth's "The Biafra Story" although his partial throughout the book, he reveals to the reader from the 15th Century onwards til the end of the war, how Nigeria is formed today.

When we speak of our heroes in our struggle to actualize Biafra, we have to include the following brothers of ours who are MASSOB members still in Nigerias jails. Their crime? Exercising the God-given right to be responsible for, and in charge of, our own individual and own collective destiny.
Okoroman 3 years ago
These brothers and sisters of ours are truly heroes, because they saw and experienced the unrelenting Evil that is Nigeria crushing our people to death, and they said, No! We will fight this thing by taking ourselves and our nation out of the failed and poisonous State known by Nigeria.

While others went into psychological denial or just talked about the rapacious and hopeless existence that Nigeria has become for our people, these brethren of ours acted, knowing the dangers, fully aware of the consequences, attendant to the process of actualization of Biafra. And, they are still performing acts designed to give us Biafra. Let us remember and honor them today; for, no one deserves it more than they do.

War is not a game and should be avoided at all cost. My question is: Can we say the same thing about marginalisation, exploitation, religious- motivated and military-executed genocide? Can we apply the same reasoning that after 47 years of Hausa/fulani and Yoruba Oligarchs domination of Nigeria there has never been a free and fair election conducted or accepted by the governments, never a standard census and never a sovereign national conference to establish a truly peoples' constitution.

I am not Biafran, but I am indeed a friend & supporter of independence. As a pacifist and as a human being I believe that hatred has never overcome hatred & that love is always the answer. At the same time, if someone was killig my loved ones in front of me I would do whatever I had to do to stop them. For the present, I pray there is a peaceful resolution. Every human being is immeasurably precious. May there be an end to suffering for all living beings on earth.

The truth is that injustice against one man anywhere is injustice against humanity and Biafrans have had enough of it in the failed state of Nigeria. It is time for the world to pay attention to the continued genocide against Biafrans now!
Okoroman 4 years ago
Not only has the State of Nigeria participated directly in this crime against humanity, but it has maintained an enabling environment which facilitates and encourages other Nigerians and State governments to kill and maim Biafrans at will, destroy the property of Biafrans and uproot Biafrans wherever they may be found in Nigeria.
Okoroman 4 years ago
By making no efforts at all to investigate and bring to justice individual and corporate offenders in these crimes, the State of Nigeria has proved that it places no value on the life and property of Biafrans living in Nigeria; worse still, the state of Nigeria has proven that it has a vested interest in the destruction of Biafrans.
Okoroman 4 years ago
The Lagos State government razed business stalls and markets built and maintained by Biafrans living in that State, without reason, without compensation, and threatened to burn more such structures. In the Muslim North, during and after the aforementioned rampages, Northern civilians and security agents would selectively target, loot, burn and destroy the business and personal property of Biafrans residing in Northern Nigeria, as well as Christian Churches where Biafrans worship.
Okoroman 4 years ago
The 1966 massacres of Biafrans set the stage for the Biafra-Nigeria War of 1967 to 1970, during which Nigeria overstepped the bounds of what is acceptable in war, by maintaining a total food blockade of Biafra, aided by at least 6 other countries, including world-powers, resulting in the starvation-death of millions of Biafran children, women and elderly non-combatants.
Okoroman 4 years ago
Nigeria's war doctrine, publicized then and put into practice during that war (and even now), was to kill every Biafran, including unborn children. It can thus be concluded and backed up by the experience of Biafrans and even the admissions of the State of Nigeria that the lives and property of Biafrans are to be taken and destroyed, not secured.
Okoroman 4 years ago
The first massive and state-directed pogrom, genocide and ethnic cleansing directed against Biafrans (the Eastern Nigerians at that time) by Nigeria occurred in 1966, in Northern Nigeria especially, but also in Western Nigeria. Casualty figures ran into the hundreds of thousands of Biafrans killed, many more wounded, and all driven out of other parts of Nigeria and chased away there from.
Okoroman 4 years ago
By the end of that year, two more similar bloody waves were to occur, with the same devastating consequences for Biafrans. Prior to that, there were few other recorded instances in Northern Nigeria with much fewer casualties, with Biafrans as the target and victims.
Okoroman 4 years ago
Biafrans are killed on a daily basis all over Nigeria, including occupied Biafra.
Most times, it is extrajudicial killing by Nigeria Police, Nigeria Armed Security Agencies, and Nigeria's Secret Death Squads. Even when such is admitted by the State of Nigeria's killing machinery there is no inquest, no accountability, no explanation, no apologies, no proper trials, no convictions, no remorse, and no compensation. Lately, MASSOB members have borne the brunt of these unconscionable acts.
Okoroman 4 years ago
Biafrans are also killed en masse, singled out and targeted as a group, in Muslim Northern Nigeria, with a frightening cyclicity and staggering toll. This is the result of a combination of Muslim religious imperative coupled with racially-motivated and targeted mayhem directed against Biafrans.
Okoroman 4 years ago
Once again, this is done openly, using state-provided logistics; there is no inquest, no arrests, no real trials, no convictions, no remorse, no apologies, no compensation and no end in sight for this abhorrent behavior; even when Biafran casualties number in the thousands. Although this atrocious activity qualifies as genocide and or ethnic cleansing, the international community has yet to react.
Okoroman 4 years ago
A recent press report states that between 2001 and mid-2004, 54,000 persons died in Jos, Northern Nigeria alone, as a result of this type of mayhem. The government official announcing the figures refused to give a breakdown as to the ethnicity of the victims, but we know that a huge majority of them were Biafrans. He was also silent about Kano and Kaduna and other Muslim cities where such bloody events occur on a much larger scale over a longer period of time and with more frequency.

Since 1980, in almost all the cities of Northern Nigeria Biafrans have been attacked and slaughtered in tens of thousands by organized Northern militants more than two dozen times.

It is the custom of the people of Biafra to perform proper burial for their dead. Without a body, there is no proper burial; without identifying the corpse, proper burial cannot proceed. Healthy psychosocial closure becomes impossible.
Okoroman 4 years ago
It is also the policy of the State of Nigeria to quickly burn beyond recognition corpses of the Biafran victims of the well-orchestrated and targeted killings of Biafrans and other Christians in Northern Nigerian by Muslims; and thereafter, dump the remains in secret, unmarked mass graves.
Okoroman 4 years ago
The same treatment has been given to scores of Biafrans recently being hunted down and shot to death by the Nigeria Police in Onitsha and other cities in Biafra, following which their bodies are dumped in unmarked mass graves in the forests.
Okoroman 4 years ago
The State of Nigeria has no qualms defending its policy, not based on Public Health considerations, but based on the reason that repatriating corpses of Biafran dead back to Biafraland for proper postmortem care would only infuriate Biafrans into reprisal and revenge.
Okoroman 4 years ago
There are many problems with this practice by the state of Nigeria. First, the State of Nigeria does not keep official records of Biafran casualties. Secondly, the State of Nigeria accounts to no one for the Biafrans it has murdered. Third, this practice shows a gross lack of respect for Biafrans—both the living and now, also the dead; and a deliberate lack of sensitivity to the culture and customs of the people of Biafra.
Okoroman 4 years ago
All this adds up to the consistent profile of the State of Nigeria as decidedly anti-Biafran in any and all ways. Today, in almost every community in Biafra, there are relatives and friends who are tortured by the uncertainty over the fate of their loved ones, and the ensuing lack of customary closure. All this grief, angst and agony, credit to the a-moral malevolence of the State of Nigeria towards the nation of Biafra and her people.

Perhaps he doesn't know that his Yoruba brother, Banjo, joined us because Ojukwu promised to liberate the West from the Northern troops who occupied the western region using the killing spree going on between the Awolowo and Akintola factions as an excuse

Nwanne! schooling in Lagos i can swear to you we,ve got nothing in common with Yorubas.
They either are INHERENTLY stupid or just baffle you with their hypocracy skills...
Its time out for them Nwanne, lets IGNORE them when they creep into ur page..I still dont understand their business with a Biafran video....
aquerius23 4 years ago
Nwanne, I agree. See how the Yoruba's in the NCNC crossed the floor in the 1950's! That's why no one ever takes those cheats seriously. They should be more concerned with reuniting with their lost brothers and sisters in Togo instead of chipping into a Biafra debate! Remember how Awolowo told Ojukwu that if Biafra is declared, Oduduwa republic will be declared 24hrs later...instead Gowon bribed him and the old fool Enahoro into taking positions in Gowon's cabinet..

My happiness is that the callous old fool and anu ofia Enahoro, Nigeria's minister of information and self-styled war propaganda guru is still alive today to see his dreams of annihilating the Igbo never came true! Their grand plan of killing Igbo children through starvation and bombing civilian targets was all hogwash. He travelled all over the world, buying the arms and cutting the deals that led to the slaughter of Biafran children and we are still here! They know we are too much for them!

What do you expect when you have fools in charge?All those wannabes mentioned alongside Zik cannot even wipe the floor Zik walked on. Sarduana was a vicious racist. Awo was the same. Enahoro was just a self-centred bigot. Obasanjo was an opportunist - He had the guts to call Aguiyi-Ironsi an alcholic! Aguiyi-Ironsi was such an alcholic that he was the first blackman to commander UN peace keeping forces, yes, before Colin Powell!

Nwanne mmadu! I agree with your perspective on Awo, but a lot of people have been mis informed about Zik. Nwanne, I know what I'm talking about as I have researched this area thorougly and have written many articles on the subject. Part of the Nigerian masterplan was to turn us against Zik. Zik was not perfect, but he is one of the greatest Igbos that ever lived. Ojukwu himself comments that he could never disrespect Zik, because he has too much respect for him

In fact I saw a great number of Igbos charged with document fraud..most especially certificates. But unlike you I never thought it was an Igbo thing, my sense was that it was a national problem. The igbo thing, so far, is selling fake goods, they don't limit the danger to outsiders, they sell to their own too!

Destroy Igbo nation? Talk to your inept governors and stop looking outside for your enemies, there are enemies within your so-called nation. The chief enemy of course is Ojukwu. One day, not too long, you would discover the destruction that Col. brought on you people.
adunbarin4 4 years ago
Zik turned on Ojukwu not because he did not believe in Biafra, but to stop the killing of innocent Biafrans. Biafra was recognised by Tanzania, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Zambia and Haiti due to the efforts of Zik and his son Chukwuma Azikiwe. The Nigerians were not interested in fighting Biafran soldiers. They wanted to kill off all our women and children, that's why they bombed public places. Zik was invited on several occasions to advise and participate in successive regimes. He refused all offers

Awolowo the wartime Nigerian minister of finance and deputy chairperson of the war cabinet amongst others was responsible for fanatically championing Nigeria's notorious "starvation as weapon/quick kill" strategy on Biafra, which resulted in the death of a huge percent of the total Igbo war casualty including children.

After all, Awolowo did not abandon his people. He did not lead them to war without adequate planning, thinking foolishly he could take on Nigeria and the world and win..(the biafrans must be really superior!) and then ran away to protect his life. That is the spoilt brat Ojukwu for u.

One curious thing about all these pictures is that we have never seen pictures of Biafran soldiers dying from Kwashiokor; only children.

Shame.

Yes unfortunately, there are many things that were not discussed (thank God we didn't see it on tape): The raping of Biafran girls by leper men (from Nigeria), opened wombs of pregnant women to extract the fetus and kick like ball.

Too many nationalities that didn't trust the Igbos? Read the facts! The Igbos were the first to deal with the minorities in the Eastern Region on an equal footing after centuries of domination. Before Biafra was declared, 300 representatives from every part of the Eastern Region, majority of who were non-Igbo, voted in favour of the declaration. Go read the Proclamation of Biafra published in International legal Materials 1967, Volume 6 page 665-680 before you continue spreading fakeass lies!
