When people talk about the actualization of Biafra, you as an Igbo person would try to kick against it, look at Nigeria, is that something you still want to be a part of?

[Lilian Ogechi @Adaigboglobal]

The Nigerian Civil War/Biafran War was fought in
Igbo land for three years, yet BBCAfrica is
producing a documentary directed by a Yoruba
man titled "Surviving Biafra.'

The Biafran war was not a Yoruba Experience. It
was one of the darkest periods in Igbo history.
Millions of our people died. Families were wiped
out. Children starved to death. Mothers watched
their sons disappear forever.

Entire communities were destroyed. Businesses
collapsed. Dreams vanished overnight. Till today,
many Igbo families still carry the emotional pain
and trauma from that war

But honestly, beyond complaining about outsiders
telling our stories, we also need to look at
ourselves.

Why are Igbos not investing more in movies,
documentaries, media and storytelling?

Why do we wait until outsiders pick up our stories
before we start getting angry about how the
stories are told?

Yes, we are doing well in the aspect of books but
books ain't enough. This is the 21st century and
films, social media and the Internet rule supreme.
At some point, Ndi Igbo need to wake up and take
our history seriously. We cannot continue allowing
other people to tell our stories while we stay quiet.

We have so many powerful stories that deserve
global attention.

The story of Biafra alone can produce world-class
movies and documentaries.

The story of King Jaja of Opobo deserves a major
international film.

The stories of the slave trade in Igbo land deserve
proper historical movies.

The stories of our missionaries, traders,
businessmen, inventors, and communities deserve
to be shown to the world.

But where are our filmmakers? Where are the Igbo
nvestors? Where are the media companies willing
to fund these stories?

Other tribes and countries are using movies and
documentaries to preserve their history and
culture.

They understand that storytelling is powerful. It
helps people control their narrative and teach
future generations.

That is why Americans tell American stories. That
is why Asians proudly tell Asian stories. That is
why Europeans keep making films about their wars
and history
But many Igbo stories are still untold, ignored, or
left for outsiders to explain

Then later, when outsiders tell the stories in ways
we don't like, we start complaining

The gospel truth is that if you don't tell your story,
somebody else will tell it for you

Ndi Igbo need to support our writers, filmmakers,
historians, and creatives. We need more
Igbo-owned documentaries, films, books, archives,
and media platforms.

Because if we fail to preserve and tell our own
history, other people will continue speaking for us
and shaping the story from their own perspective.

Today in History:

“Biafra seceded from Nigeria”.

On May 26, 1967, the Ojukwu decreed to secede from Nigeria after consultations with community leaders from across the Eastern Region. Four days later, Ojukwu unilaterally declared the independence of Biafra.

And the same people he tried to protect cooked all the propaganda and jailed him.

[IGBO History & Facts @IgboHistoFacts]

“Gen. Yakubu Gowon's failure to secure and protect the lives and properties of the Igbos in the North forced Col. Emeka Ojukwu to declare the secession of the Eastern Region from Nigeria in May 1967, leading to the fratricidal Nigerian-Biafran civil war”

[Dr Kolins @im_Kolins]

Never forget that Ojukwu did not just wake up and declare Biafra out of ambition or hatred. Biafra was declared after the brutal k!lling of 50 thousands of Igbos across Northern Nigeria and parts of the West, while innocent families were hunted, displaced, and slàughtered. Ojukwu saw a people abandoned and vulnerable, and he chose to stand for their survival. To many Biafrans, the war was never about conquest, it was about self defense, dignity, and the right of a people to live without fear of extermination. Biafrans stood their ground and fought with courage to protect their homeland, their families, and the existence of Ndigbo.

Thank you Ikemba Nnewi 🙌❤️

Biafrans and Nigerians kindly listen to this Shocking Revelation About What Nigerian Government Does With The Rehabilitated Boko Haram Members & Other terrorist in Nigeria . There is no hope to eradicate terrorism in Nigeria especially with these Northern elites who sees terrorism as a lucrative businesses .

What they've been hiding from you many years ago about the Asaba Massacre.

[Marquis Of Infamy 🪶🪶🪶 @Unabombaar]

Gowon claimed he had a fever, which is why he mistakenly agreed to and signed the Aburi Accord. What an incompetent leader he must have been.

Observe Ojukwu in this video at Aburi - he pretended to eat and drink without actually tasting anything because he knew what he went there for. Meanwhile, the supposedly feverish Gowon was busy gulping down and chewing everything like a glutton.
