When potential rebels plan to have a newly independent state orchestrated by a traitor who suddenly loses the coercive backing of the former imperial power and whose military capabilities are new and untested,there is likely to be civil war.ojukwu fought a costly war which he couldnt win but he is a big coward for abandoning his people and went on exile.

Just go away, nobody here has time for your infantile rants.

One major downside of online forums is that preschool toddlers offer "expert opinions" on topics of doctoral level research. I wish some filter can be installed in some of these topics to reject comments from airheads.

Igbanibo:

The Northern cadre in the Nigerian Army wanted to secede from Nigeria right after the July 29 1966 coup.  Their British and American masters told them not to, because there will be no money, no seaport, low standard of living, so all of a sudden, they were shouting "One Nigeria".  How ironic!!!!

i disagreed with you.Gen. Ironsi promoted many Igbo in the Army at the expense of Yoruba and Hausa officers, and was accused of perpetuating the brutal killing of Yoruba and Hausa leaders. The Northerners in particular saw it as a deliberate plan to eliminate the political heavy weights in the North in order to pave way for the Easterners to take over the leadership role from them. Resentment grew in the North which led to the May 1966 riots throughout the North during which Igbo residing in the North were attacked and killed.so the north were the least to ever had a dream of secession even though they had always be privileged by the british

We have gone over this issue time and time again.

Cry babies. This whining and victim syndrome and revisionism is of no use.
It only makes the topic boring and you continuously disappoint sympathizers.

You guys are so righteous and are sitting on the right hand side of God.

I couldn't help but rolling on the floor with laughter reading this

Half education is indeed dangerous and when you add gross ignorance and extremely low level of reasoning things become too bad.

Don't be in a hurry to post anything. Take time to read and comprehend before typing. You are making a fool of yourself even though you think you are making sense.

And before you begin to say people should prove you wrong let me remind you that if every single nonsense people put down is corrected there won't be enough time in the world to address these things.

Dude, why do you always like to take things on this forum personal ?    Why suddenly result to abuses

Civil war not against Ndigbo — Gowon

“Nigeria as a country would have been a failure if the Igbo race had been allowed to leave the country Nigeria because they have contributed immensely to the growth and development of this country,” he said.
Gowon said it was high time Nigerians believed in their country and supported its project.

Afam:

While people like you would enjoy all sorts of insults directed at ethnic groups people like me will respond to them because I am not the coward that you are. Funny you only type when wrong things you support are challenged.

So, the Igbos do not have a right to respond to comments made about them by the head of state when a war was waged on them? Stop seeing everything through a tribal prism and unless you are suffering from inferiority complex I see no reason why you will not comment on statements that tend to discredit your own people by those who should know better.

According to Gowon the Igbos have contributed immensely to the growth and development of this country and yet he led a group that massacred Igbos from the barracks to the prisons while his people killed innocent Igbo civilians even when they chose to return to the East.

You guys can bury your heads in the sand for all I care but no one should come here and spread silly lies all in the name of using a public discussion forum.

my premise on this civil war and biafra ambition had always been neutral even though i dont support sececssion of any tribe from the current nigeria.economically,everyone agreed the igbo folks are doing fine but they have been politically sidelined over time which personally i believe is unhealthy if we are to canvass for a national unity.complaining about the past every time any igbo issue comes up will only continue to drag nigeria backward and the igbo tribe in particular
