  1. Although I personally hate the way the government handled the war at the time, separation is not the answer to anything and even if the country separated Biafra would have collapsed in a sizable amount of time instead of supporting the separation of the country why canโ€™t Nigerianโ€™s work together to be a great sovereignty that stands out from all African countries

  2. There where other ethnic groups in the south who are not igbos that didnt want to be part of Biafra they where either called Traitors and killed or forcefully evacuated from their villages in the coastal regions by Biafran soldiers.

  3. Only Yahweh Allah government can cured the world widely shallom Saleem sayest parakaleo agapao philio peace and goodwill just the truth about the future of new world aheads but before then worsted deception indeed will occur and it's started with immediate effect and it's happening yacoub Israel has already started his own undercover military service war such as psalm 83,35, and Jeremiah 35 lamentesio'n per chapter 1, 2 3 4 and ezekiel 19 25 35 Deuteronomy28:15-69& many others situations such as economic crisis virus ๐ŸฆŸ๐ŸฆŸ๐ŸฆŸ๐Ÿฆ ๐ŸฆŸ world widely known as voke in every day by day, just remember i was then secondry 1means college in 1962, and later i join the army ๐Ÿช–๐ŸŽ–๏ธ military service 1968wyh? family trauma and hatred and circles of vehement type such as terrorism involved in my life read Psalm 11series and many others betrayal of family is also the worst part of it but yahweh Allah won the vehement types for myself maybe because amjacob (as kehinde) and God bless my self Jacob in psalm 35&129&in Isaiah 61 10and11 thanks again Yahweh Allah heritages granted myself Jacob freedom uncorrcted proof of qualification and not for resale or quotation means Yahweh Allah masterplan favour myself Jacob as well as am now Hebrew pun GK means provatably and useful became onesphrouse and oneinen and onesimus means free from vulgarity world widely plus family members trauma and hatred now am awaiting the last days aheads a memoir of faith desires for freedoms not for resale or quotation ameen and that's a great promise from Yahweh Allah heritages granted myself Jacob as Hebrew Greek style pun onesimus means profitable and useful same as jacob the father of Joseph son of yacoub Israel receive ๐Ÿ“ฒ๐Ÿ“จ peace ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโœŒ๏ธ amen and good will form Yahweh Allah ameen shallom Saleem sayest parakaleo agapao philio peace ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโœŒ๏ธ and goodwill and victory over vehement

  4. Awolowo was released by Ojukwu not Gowon. When lies are told for more than two years, it becomes true. Please correct that misrepresentation. We Biafrans and by December 2 , 2024. We will re-declare the Biafra sovereign state, we have already started delegitimizing Nigeria in Biafraland. To be a Nigerian is not by force. #FreeBiafra

  5. I would highly recommend you look into the life of Carl Gustaf von Rosen. He was a Swedish man that got involved in the Nigerian civil war (and several other conflicts in Africa). He fought for Biafra, using a small single seater plane with rocket launchers attacked to the wings to attack Nigerian airfields, and in some cases having to evade Nigerian jets in his plane. He was a very interesting figure who initially went to Africa to do humanitarian work but eventually started taking part in conflicts, usually on the underdogs side. I don't know if you would really call him a mercenary, if anything I think he spent more money on his adventures than he made.

  6. Secret hidden, the Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo in this unprecedented history of Nigeria were strategic political reforms, that represent not all the interests legitimate to the whole indigenous people of Nigeria. Today, due to this political manipulation and long standing lies, political unrest, waves of cultural and traditional disparities keep unfolding. Proper definition of Nigeria needs to be given and made publicly to the people of Nigeria for the interest of all ethnic groups. Only if that that the people demand is done, there will be peace and cooperation amongst the Nigerian people.

    Note also, that the history of Nigeria civil war is incomplete in this presentation. The Igbo's war was second. The Ijaw's was the first. Go back to full history. Thnks
