Our people stood gallantly and never retreated in the face of overwhelming odds. Against superior numbers and immense hardship, they marched forward with courage, resilience, and an unbreakable spirit.
Today, we remember their sacrifice, honor their bravery, and keep faith with their legacy.
Biafra will be restored in our time.
Let nobody deceive himself. Nigeria alone would not have stood a chance against Biafra without the backing of Britain, America, Egypt, France, and the Soviet Union.
They brought their weapons, their money, and their influence against a people whose only crime was wanting to live in freedom and dignity.
Yet our people fought with uncommon courage. Our fathers fought, our mothers fought, and even our children became warriors out of necessity. Alaigbo refused to bow.
That is why we reject every attempt to water down or rewrite what happened. It was not a "civil war" as they want the world to believe, it was a calculated campaign that cost millions of innocent Biafran lives.
Is this the history the BBC wants us to forget? Is this the story they want rewritten through the mouth of a man who neither witnessed the war nor lived our pain?
Tufiakwa!
We will tell our own story. We will defend our own history. And we will never allow anyone to erase the sacrifices of our people.
The scars of the Biafra war are still visible inside this house. The family says they never fully renovated it so future generations can see what happened here.
Dear @TonUP_io@OfficialAPCNg please, pay the terrorists you guys brought into Nigeria during 2014-15 election whatever you owe them so they can stop killing Nigerians and dashing the hope of so many families. As was confessed by Alhaji Kawu Baraje, you guys brought Fulani terrorists from sahel in 2014, to destabilize Nigeria and make it ungovernable for the then president, GEJ. Now that you're in power, please pay them whatever you owe them.
Nigerians can't be dying like fowls.
In 1968, during the Nigeria–Biafra war, an Igbo woman reportedly declared: We will fight to the last man, confident of success, in response to the military government led by General Yakubu Gowon.
Today, we remember our brave Igbo warriors and their remarkable victory at Abagana, an ambush that is regarded as the most significant in African military history. May the souls of our children who died during the w@r at the hands of Yakubu Gowon continue to Rest in peace, and may the memory of what he did continue to haunt him.
