Start working on the ideology by focusing on developing the East. Biafra as a word is not an ideology but a borrowed name from Portuguese records on West Africa. Ironically, Biafra real roots is in modern day Cameroon where history showed that a trading center existed around the 15th to 16th century.

I was a twelve years old boy in Mbaise when Ojukwu made this speach and after listening to this audio address made by this young voice,as a sixty six year old man, it's still sounds like yesterday. LONG LIVE BIAFRA ❤❤❤.

Please point of correction. Biafra comprises of South East and South South. South West was never part of Biafra at any point in history. Thanks for conscientious effort to bring this nostalgia back into life. Ojukwu was indeed a very courageous, fearless and purposeful man. He was a man of vision, a man that saw tomorrow. Biafra lives forever and will soon become a reality albeit posthumously for our once great leader.

All you and your kind do is make your lives unstable by refusing to find peace in your nation. A nation that you could easily make to work for you if you would learn how others did it. But you refuse to rather, you regularly demean and disparage your nation and other tribes. If you truly love your Igbo land, why not stay there and make it great? You claim that other tribes treat you bad yet, you live your own land and go to theirs and there feel safer living and doing business. You do so cause you are afraid of your own tribes people, right? Ofcourse you claim that others pay your bros and sisters to kidnap or kill you. Who do you think would believe such? Are same others that now order you to stay at home on Mondays? Do you know how many of you fellow Igbos suffer or die each Monday due to that stay at home? People, think to see how you hurt yourselves! Take this as someone that wants the best for you all! Or you can do what most of your people often do: curse, blame, threaten, call those within you that disagree with your views “saboteurs”, etc. I hope you would rather think!

Glad you enjoyed it!

U must understand that Biafra is the voice of the universe in the people of Biafra. U must also not make a shabby representation of Ojukwu s choices during the crisis. The man was a legend and his name glistens in gold on the platter of history. Ojukwu was an agent of the universe for redemption and liberty,. Biafra remains a force in the future that will eventually crush all of its historical opponents. So do not be in a hurry to call it a lost battle. Yes, Ojukwu left at the time, and wisely so. But listen, the man was just a hand of nature to build a jet of destiny, an ideological embodiment of a people which like a space craft would travel through time and history and ultimately land with the shout of victory over imperialism and neocolonialism, not just for the Biafran people in particular, but for Africa in general

So very important

Thanks for this research

Ojukwu was already out of Nigeria before his pre recorded speech was played

For me it's not over untill it's ovre

Biafra ceases to exist except the Southeast come up with a different name and ideology. Ojukwu lied to his people that he was going out to search for peace when actually he was escaping. Moreover, he claimed to be fighting for independence but in the midst of it, he was busy subduing and carrying out silent genocides on those who gave him support at the beginning. The force evacuation of some communities in the old Rivers state to massacre of Bini people in the Mid-West at Urhonigbe, Abudu and others have not been properly addressed.

Obasanjo queried him for granting the interview and locked 🔒 him up for above 90 days. Several people were absorbed into the Nigerian Army, but Philip was dismissed without pay and pension.

Did the catholic helped? Were Igbo not of Catholic faith? When charity came did they share any foods to the children as they pretened. Here they created classes as well. Things were given to the well to do people while children dying for keashiokor were seen dropped dead everytime, the Europeans loaded these foods in the weigh house and when we come to beg they would tell us to go home there is no food. Did we know that there was a house full of food? That was only when we heard that the war has ended. see all they had while we were humgry. God help us if Oti has forgotten this and bring this kind in Igbo land to firm he us a sale out. Everything about the starvation of the Igbo i know it. I saw it and felt it unforgetable.
