If ojukwu only left with Igbo land in the east central state, there would have been no civil war, but he forcefully annexed the minorities and their land into Biafra

The Ikwerres were so angry they took over Igbo properties in PH. Till today, the Ikwerres have refused to handover the properties to the rightful owners
Crap

Ojukwu and Ironsi started it first, they attacked Adaka boro for wanting to leave Nigeria.

Ojukwu, Ironsi and the entire Igbo people were slaves back then who were against freedom

And thats why everyone should opt for peaceful referendum since guns did not solve the issue

ch214:

You can not change what have been in existence but you can only deny the existence: Rivers, non-Igbo Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers and Edo are all part of old eastern region which is now refer to as Biafra

Many of you just go around different online fora spewing misinformation and lies ed down to you and this questions any form of credibility from you guys.

When and how was Edo and Delta part of any Eastern region?

Secondly, who created the 'Eastern region'? The British right? Obviously for ease of istration. How come you Ipo.bs are hellbent on preserving the anomalous merging of you guys with people who have repeatedly made it clear they have nothing to do with your biafra?

ch214:

Old eastern region was referred to as Biafra.

Republic of Biafra, was a partially recognised state in West Africa that declared independence from Nigeria and existed from 1967 until 1970. Its territory consisted of the former Eastern Region of Nigeria, predominantly inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group. Biafra was established on 30 May 1967 by Igbo military officer and Eastern Region governor C. Odumegwu Ojukwu under his presidency, following a series of ethnic tensions and military coups after Nigerian independence in 1960 that culminated in the 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom. The Nigerian military proceeded in an attempt to reclaim the territory of Biafra, resulting in the start of the Nigerian Civil War.

Biafra is a Portuguese word that has been existing before ojuwku was born.

Do not say what you do not know anything about.

Edo and Delta are part of Biafra according to history, if you do your research then you will find out for yourself if I begin to give you facts yet you will still not believe but still choose to engage in baseless argument.
Even the edos and deltans knows they are biafrans.
If Biafra referendum is conducted anytime and the majority of edos and deltans voted not to be part of Biafra, therefore they can decide to be part of Nigeria.

Maybe it is you that is not okay. Your lack of knowledge about not knowing that Japanese people answers African names like Igbo names and even yoruba names is making you to display your ignorance here.

That's good, which is all the more reason nobody needs to fight any more, agree for referendum. Which Lawmakers were consulted before the British colonial contraption called Nigeria was created?

tell him that the man that surrendered was not an igboman but ibibio ananga Gen. Philip Effiong
ch214:

You lied.
It is the Nigeria government that forcefully annexed the minorities and their land into Nigeria, if not there would have been no civil war.

Biafra was referred to as the old eastern region which ikwerres were part of under river state (Biafra is not just Igbo tribe alone but consist of other ethnic groups)

They stole those properties because they were targeting them before the war. Has nothing to do with anger

WAEC is not just about Nigeria but West Africa. Should the exams in other West Africa countries be cancelled because of one sit at home in SE?

You lied, ojukwu tried to capture, Cross River, Rivers, Bendel and Benue states because he felt the 2 igbo states ( Anambra and Imo) were too small for his Biafra country.

Stop making yourself a fool. Even a primary school pupil knows when 12 states where created. You claiming to be historian didn't even know when regional govt was abolished. Philip Effiong the last president of Biafra, the man that surrender to Gowon was from where? Nzeogwu Chukwuma where is he from? Go and read your book and stop disgracing yourself.

Who is feeding you guys with this crap?

What relationship does Edo and Delta have with biafra? Which history?

In your so-called biafra schemes, leave Edo out . Nothing us.

One of the earliest civilisations in Africa is what you want to drag into one nonsense biafra.

We have well-kept, documented records of our history, even those looted by the British invaders which are being returned are just a small part.
Which of any of the artifacts being returned depicts anything linking the Edos to biafra?

You guys mistake tolerance and hospitality for lack of self-awareness.

And again why do most of the ipo.bs blatantly lie to themselves and attempt to deceive anyone who happens to be naive? When and where was Edo and Delta part of any Eastern region, whether old or new?

Why always twisting facts?



(Seun, autocorrect on NL substitutes Igbos for ipo.bs and that is highly misleading).

lgb0s started the wàr but they caII it their massacre because they Iost.
I won't blame you because I know history has been taken of Nigerian education curriculum, so no one ever told you the truth of the biafra war. Due to the anti igbo pogrom that was going on in the North where the house fulani killed hundreds of thousands of unarmed igbos right in front of security operative. Ohukwu found the igbo are no longer protected in the country they called their own. He ordered all igbo in the North to come home and declared biafra as a sovereign state. It was the nigeria army who brought the war to the south east and the igbo had to defend their territory. That's why the war was only fought in biafra land and no other part of Nigeria.

The fact that history was removed from school is the reason u lgb0s easily play the vîctîm.
So the north woke up one morning and started kiIIing lgb0s?
But the lgb0s in khaki that woke up and started kiIIing northern leaders that triggered the whole thing, they did the right thing abi?

ikwerres are also igbos for your info also note that ojukwu was not the governor of only 5 south east states but the entire old eastern region however when you people captured the SS you should have allowed the south east alone to be

According to the history we read and heard, Biafran soldiers when to Ore Midwestern region, that is where the Nigerian army started crushing them, is Ore part of Biafra land, Gowon decided to stop their madness when they got to Ore, Midwestern region. If Ojukwu had stayed in igbo land, no one would have disturbed them. And even it is Nnamdi Azikwe that rejected secession clause in the first place.
The invasion of ore and Benin was to divide Nigeria into 4 countries which are republics of biafra Benin, oduduwa and arewa simple

Ikwerres are not igbos. The Eastern region was created by the white men, not by Igbos. Ojukwu should have left with Igbo lands in the East Central.

This report was empty but full of LIES FROM THE PIT OF HELL...

The more we propagate these lies and trivialize the genocide on Biafra by the terrorist Nigerian govt at the time and their wicked British & Western allies, the more we encourage the Biafran Agitation...

Go through the IGBO LANDING at the USA and learn how the Easterners do not give up, but respect those that respect them as humans...
