Some people's existence and relevance is tied to the Biafran hate propaganda. The old politicians who twisted the story to make it seem like it wasn't a war. As if the Biafran soldiers were sitting ducks, as if Ojukwu had no expansionist agenda..

They won't talk about the Abagana ambush where over a thousand Nigerian soldiers were killed while those captured were beheaded in broad daylight. They won't tell them about the Okene nd Auchi massacre.

They won't mention the fact that Ojukwu entered Portharcourt, controlled the land and seized Shell BP. They won't mention the fact that his fighter jets kept pounding other cities repelling the NNS Lokoja.

They won't mention his invasion into the mid west.

They won't mention the Okene and Auchi massacre and the Non Igbos killed in other the Midwest.

They won't mention the fact that Ojukwu deliberately prevented land delivery of food because he didn't want any physical inspection of supplies.

They will hide the fact that Ojukwu ordered the evacuation of villages in the east, knowing fully well that he couldn't handle the refugee crisis, his soldiers evacuated towns and villages, made easterners leave their homes without food, shelter and water.

They will hide the fact that Ojukwu ordered the capture of Ibadan and Lagos.

They want young Igbos to perpetually hate the country. They won't mention the atrocities committed by the Biafran soldiers.

Ojukwu started a war he wasn't fully prepared for. He knew the consequences.

The sad truth is that in this present day Nigeria, the Igbos have flourished better outside the south east. They are welcomed everywhere on the country, they own and control businesses in major towns.

Eze Ndigbo tussle in Kano..

The day the Igbos drop the sentiments about the war, their political relevance is gone. They don't have any story to latch on.

Obasanjo was a major actor in the war, why is he adored in the South East? All the actors on the Biafran side are heroes. Inconsistent stories...

The war happened, both sides lost. It wasn't a friendly affair, war is war.

Those drumming for war should know that there are no rules in war.

Promote unity, promote economic development, promote good governance.
