Benin people who have one of the greatest empire in the history regrettably agree to be under Biafra
...

King Akezua will be weeping for his Benin people where he is right now

You're so wrong!
Ijaws have always been Igbo's masters right from the time immemorial. Check out the attached receipt for confirmation.


Either some of them are ignorant of history or maliciously try to turn history on its head.
They've been repeatedly schooled on this, but they keep bringing up the Aba version.

Invasion of Ore happened 3 months after the war had started.

Asaba was part and parcel of Biafra and was invaded by Nigerian military
Asaba is not, just lumped in same southeast region, but not part, that was why it was further divided.

Will you say all the tribes and people lumped in old Midwestern region was part and parcel of each other?

You are a big liar...the Ore episode was what made Gowon react... ojukwu had started his own police and army, but Gowon was watching him, still trying to use dialogue, the attack ob ore brought the reaction of the Nigerian government to send troops.

Do you realize that enugu and Nsukka had fallen before Biafra moved for Benin and Lagos.

Most of Biafra tactical commanders like Air raid, Nzeogwu, Okonkwo etc were all from Asaba division, they fought so valiantly to fight of the enemies in owerri, onitsha and Aba

By invading ore and Asaba areas.
So war started when Olukwu invaded Ore and Asaba, you mean there wasn't any war before Olukwu invaded Ore/ Asaba. Do you know what you're saying at all

Ojukwu was creating an army, police etc, Gowon didn't send troops, it was Nigerians in Ore, Asaba, that were complaining and threatening to resort to violence on their own that made Gowon react. The Biafra war documentaries and interviews are everywhere...if you think there is anything that happened contrary to what I said, please point it to me.

Oga Olukwu want Ghana with Gowon they agreed on Aburi but when Ojukwu came back to Nigeria Gowon refused to honor the agreement Easterners told Ojukwu to declare Biafra the world BIAFRA was from an Ijaw man that named Eastern region Biafra Gowon being the controller of Nigeria Army declared war on the Eastern region, the Nigeria Army first came to East and started killing. So I don't know where you got your own history people that fought for Biafra many are still alive
