So many lives wasted Why😢😢😢

First general to run from war, where he lead more than 3m of his people to death.

​@@cleanCodesMatters, Ode, you fit shoot gun let alone lead a war?. Even Napoleon abandoned his army at some point and escaped to France

Love and light brotherly, together we shall sumount all . Thanks for the word of encouragement. BIAFRAN enemy is Britain; not Nigeria. If it was for Nigeria alone, my people would have dealt with them. Compare the success they made without any artilary, both land; air and water, just their phisical strength, ooooh we shall never forget. All hail biafra

​@@cleanCodesMatters Did your own Commander [Gowon] appear even once through out the war..? But Ojukwu do go to war front to fight with his men. Gowon is the real coward, he didn't Southeast throught out the war, had he did, that would've been his end.

i salute him 👏

Which side was he on.

​@@okoyechigozie1775does it matter, he fought for what he believed in

It is, I have been searching for a well-detailed documentary about the war for years, this video really did Justice to give a very detailed overview of the war.

Yes, he really did a very thorough job. Kudos to him!

There is a bit of bias if you listen carefully to the type of language that was used to describe the actions of the Nigerians and I also find it convenient that the causes of the civil war was just breezed through which made it seem like Nigeria simply hate the igbos for no reason whatsoever

@@hassanaliyu5679 I understand your point but it seems biased to you because you’re of the north , and the north were the perpetrators.. and the perpetrators aren’t going to be protagonists , rather the antagonists who committed the henocide.

Thank you Bisi , I have really learn a lot so far from your documentary, God bless Nigerians

You do know Americans took part in the war because of oil

Britain literally blocked all information concerning the Genocidal war against my people. Our only crime is that Nature bless us with minerial resources, that is why Britain hated my people with passion. Over 3million children died of starvation; because of economic interest of Britain in our land. Sad.

Why would a conflict within Africa be taught in U.S. schools? 😂 c'mon.

Why not?

@@billyyank5807 But they can teach us about American and European wars in Africa? No wonder some of you think Africa is a country

Although a biased it's true Nigeria won. I remember the phrase '' To keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done ".

Future can never be bright, never. Biafra must be restored, even if it will require 2nd, 3rd and 4th war, but we can never be with our enemies forever. God forbid.

This is well edited good job

May their brave souls continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord.

Amen!

The planet will shake us

me too from my two uncles who fought with Biafran army ,still alive with bullet wounds ,one wiith a hairless line on his head from bullet ,the other a dead finger with exit bullet wound ,....their battlefront stories never end sometimes scarz somtimes annoying but this docu joined the missing details

Hello @@edwardibeh3276 , I know the feeling. All my uncles who fought were killed. I am not even sure their bodies were found, but then this video was sad yet beautiful to watch.

@@brodaderah1993 Yes it's bittersweet ,Nigerian leaders should've learnt from those events but unfoturnatly they haven't

I never got to meet any of 5 of my mother's brothers who died fighting in this war. She also lost other half brothers. And till today, the reasons for the war are yet to be addressed. We need to do better at unity. God bless 🇳🇬.

But he omitted the remote and immediate causes of the war. Never mentioned the first military coup, started talking about it when he wanted to introduce Major Kaduna. how can you tell an history without its genesis.

He's biased in one way or the other

I tire ooo

That is why you are on KZfaq, tell us

Nothing like that happened

Biafra lost that war, because 1. They were out numbered 2. They were outgunned 3. The had the wrong allies, should have allied with America and the British instead of f'ing Israel

If i may ask since it is Nigeria civil war who are the country that Nigeria is fighting the war

@@denniskcobi3470 The Republic of Biafra. Eastern Nigeria tried to break away from Nigeria, so the War is between Biafra and the rest of Nigeria.

Never end

Never say die of the Biafran spirit

Great BIAFRANS,our people fought gallantly against our enemies, despite the careless boastful words of Gowon,the biafrans shocked him,yes 48hrs as predicted by Gowon but it later turned to 3 hefty years.

What are you talking about we were getting butchered, think about it, we always hear about the one Point sth million Igbos that died during that war, but what about the casualties of the Yoruba or Hausa, Nigeria was going to make us(Biafra/Igbos) go extinct

Not soldiers fighting women and children, Nigerian army bombed civilians not military personnes and the world did nothing about it just as Israel is doing to Gaza now​@@edwinchigozie215

@@hdmiliondyce182 seriously

As a result, he decided to put the lives of innocent people at risk? I just do not get why the Igbos will honor a rebel who put their lives in danger, knowing he had no resources .

​@@jmbonuxbox that's fair, but their other choice was to live in a country where they were at constant risk of being victimized by mob violence and discrimination. What protections the federal govt may have given were simply not enough to protect them

@@hdmiliondyce182 Kaduna tribal crisis is not targeted at Igbos exclusively, many fulanis and Hausas are killed too. Please don't spread lies.

The Igbos refuse to accept the artificial creation called Nigeria; it has hindered progress and the people put in charge (Fulanis) by the British for obvious reasons, have steadily kept other groups capable of collective greatness subdued and backward.

This particular detail is incomplete and corrupt, he should outline the reason behind civil war and natural dislike. Do u know Nigeria has never experienced war and coup before until igbos introduced bloody coup and civil war in Nigeria. Igbos were the pioneers of war in Nigeria .

Igbos soldiers murdered northern and yoruba leaders just to acquire power. Nigeria practiced regional system of government were all the regions have their own separate governor general, shortly igbos decided to seize power by eliminating all northern leaders and yoruba leaders excluded igbo leaders and later installed an igbo man who destroyed the regional system of government to unitary system and declared himself a supreme leader. Igbos were playing smart without realizing those two regions were smarter than them .

@@drinkskhalifa7153 stop lying

not even one single documentry actually tells the story from the norths perspective i am yoruba and igbos are not innocent

@@newfaction3435 it's always the Yorubas that always want to speak for the Hausa's,you guys will one day tell the Igbos what we did to you guys.

@@newfaction3435 Yorubas are the major cause of what happened to the Igbos. Leading to the independence, the north retaliated on the south which the igbos became the major victims because of the insult the Yoruba leaders gave to the northern leaders in Lagos. Also, the Awolowo and And Akintola fracas which led to the chaos in the west which was called the wild wild west brought about the first political unrest in Nigeria. The first coupists acted in the interest of the Yoruba by purging the political space that was breeding the unrest and corruption. The Igbos suffered and paid heavily for that.

@@newfaction3435 just say you don't know. Dobt try to transfer your ignorance to the Zimbabwean. Just because there's anther side doesn't mean ites the truth. How can you justify the progroms??? Go ahead, tell me the "otherr side" of the pogroms

Why didn’t they fight before the independence?

They caused the conflict

​@@lawlyshewrote because they believed in one Nigeria, they underestimated the greed of Northern elites and accepted their terms to independence, they didn't know the were selling their future to slavery

@@lawlyshewroteeven the independence struggle had many Igbos in prominence……probably more than any other ethnic group. The massacre of women protesters in Aba in 1929 by the colonial masters caused massive outrage in the UK, and probably marked the beginning of the reconsideration of colonialism by the British. What other fight are you talking about? Before independence the North, the East and the West were administered separately……even independently of each other, so the question of fighting themselves didn’t arise at all. The only interaction was at the level of individuals who chose to live in regions other than their ancestral regions. With the British in control, the various tribes were kept away from the throats of one another. Truth be told, considering everything that’s happened in Nigeria, I fully expect Nigeria to splinter into several countries eventually. There’s been too much bloodshed, and the hatred is still visible and raw, as was clear for all to see during the 2023 elections. With this mutual hatred, transmitted through the generations to even our youth today, I see no hope of true national integration at all. This country is just sitting on a keg of gunpowder and waiting for the right conditions to ignite it into a raging inferno.

@@lawlyshewrote obviously because igbos were the ruling tribe. When the tables turned it became a problem for them

Wat do you mean

You no get point

Yes he did. Tanks for speaking up truth. The agreement in Ghana was betrayed by Gowon. U are right my guy. Leav hypocrite cowards

That is why his people will continue to be at receiving end of his Fulani masters he was trying to please. He is a no body. I heard he is parading himself with his whitewash Nigeria prays? Without justice. Nigeria will continue to be wobbling.

Biafra was supposed to be one of the best Nation😢 we have everything, but the selfish interest of the Fulanis are the reason we're going through these sufferings😢

Obayemi thank you for your kind words. Nigerians don't acknowledge the great sacrifice the Igbos had to pay when faced with an existential threat. The only option the Igbos had was to defend themselves against all the odds. The act alone is in defiance of submitting to genocide and the destruction of our spirit. Today we've pursued personal economic development despite the peculiar challenge when it comes to dealing with the Nigerian state.

Only the igbos can survive this in Nigeria

After the war... Look at the igbos today and look at the other Nigerians, you could the massive improvement in success from the igbos.

They never told us the war lasted this long and with so much perseverance and strength the igbos were really the strongest in the war!

Asé! Most high said no to our genocide

If you want peace embrace, fight for and defend justice.

Igbo the are not ready yet because the afraid to die

I disagree with you. On the contrary , if the support given to Nigeria then by the British, America , Russia, Egypt was given to Biafra by France, Italy, Cuba etc, Biafra will be an independent nation Today and a pride of Africa. It was Britain & Russia power that defeated Biafra then NOT Nigeria Military . Reason ; To preserve British Investment in Nigeria oil & Gas located in the South East Nigeria for the Economy of Britain & America while Russia too wanted a Share of it .Biafrans demonstrated Bravery , Courage , and great Ingenuity(Science, Research &Technological Inventions) during the war effort . We should teach our children this History of our National life for the sake of Peace & development . " " " "Biafra was a Noble and Just Course " .. ...General Charles DeGuaile of France Republic.

Exactly, Gowon cashed the war when he reneged on Aburi accord

Awesome detailed information

A very good Video that the younger Nigerians must view to understand their current history as of the year 2022.

I mean, saying like this makes it look like Biafra was an Igbo nationalist state, which it wasn't. Biafra was a gulf of Biafra civilizational/cultural state.

After acquiring God's forgiveness, what do you make out of those who lost their lives in the war? What about the Biafran regions that are still submerged till date? It is time we face reality, do the needful and stop calling God in on wicked acts of fellows humans.

Amen!

God bless you for saying the truth

Deal with the xenophobia first before jumping into other matters. What is the reason behind xenophobic attacks in south Africa??

@@drinkskhalifa7153 It is the same reason as what was referred to as "Ghana Go Home" in Nigeria when the working class Nigerians perceived Ghanaians to be competing unfairly for meagre resources in their country. The attacks in South Africa on foreign nationals are happening only among the underclass. It is not helping when some (and I want to emphasise SOME) foreign nationals commit heinous crimes such as selling drugs, raping women, forcing young girls into prostitution, etc. A recent announcement by Government shows that there are more Zimbabwean/Mozambican/Lesotho/Nigerian prisoners in SA than there are South African prisoners in any of those countries.

@@thembadube9589 there is no comparison between Ghana go home and xenophobia in south Africa. Millions of ghanaians were migrated to Nigerian because of hardship later was fixed and ghanaians refused to return to their homes and nobody killed any ghanaians . I bet you all the Nigerian national selling drugs in south Africa are igbos! Go and check. Secondly, let clarify this to u , igbos were given chance to leave Nigeria with their five state, do u know what happened?? They refused to leave without south south the Oilers region. Now tell me how do u expect Nigeria to give up its sources of income to igbos called biafra?? That's why we always said igbos are not ready to go. Nobody depends on igbos region but igbos depend on others regions because they have nothing to offer that is the reason why igbos land is empty. You should try and understand things before jumping into conclusions. Ask yourself why the world ignored they cried? Because they were not in the right.

In ya dream z boy😂😂😂

The igbos are too small

It would have made a difference!

because these men are the history makers of nigeria, they were in their 20s and 30s and messed up the country and they are still in power in their 80s now

We Biafrans wants to be on our own,and enjoy our world n country, marriage is not by force.
