BBC wants to release a documentary titled “Surviving Biafra.”
They want to paint Igbos as villains, but that narrative will never stand.
The title should be “Surviving Nigeria.” You cannot call it “Surviving Biafra”
Biafrans were victims of pogroms in Northern Nigeria, and victims of war criminals who starved 3 million Igbo children to death.
BBC labeled the 1966 coup an “Igbo coup” and helped shape narratives that fueled hostility against Ndi Igbo.
They also underreported the number of Igbo people massacred in the North.
They are not the right people to tell Igbo stories.
And of course, they chose a Yoruba filmmaker to make the documentary. Are we surprised?
Whenever they want to push propaganda against Ndi Igbo, there is always an Onye Ofe Ose willing to help carry it out.
Ndi Igbo, pay that documentary dust and let it flop.
You see this video of a Christian mother in Jos, watching her own seed die in her hands? It’ll be the final judgement of this wicked regime. And @POTUS Donald J Trump must see the video tonight, not tomorrow. Tonight.
The media tells us that about 70,000 have been killed in Gaza and the whole world screams “GENOCIDE.”
In Nigeria, nearly 130,000 have been gruesomely, genocidally massacred and the mainstream media is still arguing whether to call it a genocide or not, and whether to call the terrorists killers or “brothers.”
Nigerian Christians face an existential threat and the world cannot be silent anymore! Enough is enough.
Nnamdi Kanu is in Prison while Sunday Igboho is campaigning for APC.
IPOB members are arrested, killed and castrated while Terrorist, Bandits and Fulani herdsmen are Nuhu Ribadu’s brothers and Chief of Army Staffs Prodigal sons.
BIAFRA WAS NOT DEFEATED
I have said this before and I am repeating it. I commanded the last battle for the defense of Uli airport, so anything I talk about, concerning the end of the war, is more of an eye-witness account. I am telling young Nigerians particularly, young Igbo people who continue to read all these books citing the ‘fall of Biafra’, ‘the defeat of Biafra’, ‘the surrender of Biafra’, those are not true.
Strictly for the purposes of history, those narratives are not true. the truth about it, is that Nigeria was better equipped than Biafra, Nigeria had upper hand but Biafra was resilient. We fought like people who had no other choice. The way we perceived the war was such that we were rejected, we did not feel safe in Nigeria anymore. Our people were slaughtered and massacred for a cause they know nothing about. They said Igbo people caused the coup, of course that was also a lie, we did not cause the coup. Thousands of Igbo people were killed for no reason. So we did not have any choice, we resolved it was better to die fighting in defense of our people. That’s why we, the young men of those days joined the army and took up arms. We already made up our mind to pay the supreme price in defense of our fatherland, so in spite of our shortcomings and inadequacies, we were a fearless and resilient army of passionate young men who were willing to die for their homeland.
So like I said, the end of the civil war was negotiated and I say this because I was on ground. If not for the negotiation, Biafra war could have continued for 10, 12 or even 15 years because it is not that easy to utterly defeat somebody in his own ground without a long-drawn hostilities. If you come to one place, he will go to another place, and guerrilla warfare was an option. Our own generation of young people at the time were so determined and there was no way we would have surrendered at the time. We couldn’t have surrendered.
The type of people we had in Biafra were not people who could have surrendered like that. I will also like to add that when the negotiation came to our attention, we the younger officers held a meeting, we didn’t want to surrender, we wanted to go on but it was General Effiong that saved the situation. He told us that it was not defeat, that it is a negotiated ending for the war. So it is not a question of history recording it that our generation were defeated while fighting for survival. So we want our young people to know that we their parents fought well, willingly placing our lives on the line and we were not defeated.
It was Effiong that first told us that there will be no victor, no vanquished. It’s important to note that Ojukwu did not have a Biafran secession plan ab-initio, he believed in Nigeria. But it was the Nigerian government that forced him into the Biafra struggle, in defense of his people who were being slaughtered across the country. Infact, Ojukwu helped to neutralize the Chukwuma Nzeogwu coup alongside Aguiyi Ironsi who led the army at the time. But Nigerians plotted and killed Ironsi. So we didn’t feel any safe at all.
So there was no defeat, there was no surrender. It was a negotiated settlement to have one Nigeria. I am saying this again; we were not defeated. Yes, Nigeria had upper hand but we were resolute, we manufactured our equipment and military hardware. So I do not want our children tomorrow to say we were defeated. I am one of the people privy to all the meetings held. The end of the war was negotiated by both sides in the war.

Netanyahu is the only man who sets record for himself and still beats the record.
This man sent his army discreetly into Lebanon and the team quietly captured the commander of Hezbollah group in an overnight raid in Lebanon.
Netanyahu should be nicknamed "the slayer of terrorists."
