Biafra: Nigeria Must Tender Apology For War Crimes Committed Against Igbo By Promise Eze | Sahara Reporters

53 years after the Nigerian-Biafran war, old wounds have not healed. The consequences of the violence and hate born during the war between the Easterners and their fellow Nigerians have not died out completely. Many hearts are still hurting. Many souls are still troubled. Many born after the war are looking for answers to their questions.

Frederick Forsyth in his book ‘The Biafra Story’, noted that"the police and army not only joined in but in many cases actively led the killing gangs, spearheading the looting of the victims’ properties and the raping of their womenfolk." The civil war that ensued shortly after the pogrom displayed the barbarity of the Nigerian Government. Rather than targeting the so-called rebels the army chose to pour down fury on innocent Easterners. A typical example is the Asaba Massacre. Scores of young men were gunned down after being called to a briefing in an open square. It is estimated that more than 700 men and boys were killed, some as young as 12 years old.

Apologize first before Nigerians, Nigeria solved tribalism, sectionalism and terminated corrupted leaders been engaged of dividing Nigeria when igbo's killed they worlds respected leaders in 1966.

Biafra has to go

The apology should be mutual. It was war. There was aggression from both sides. As I always say, they'd have done same or worse if they had the capacity. The best is to never have war. Yorubas say it is the start of war we know, no one knows how it'll end. I say NO to war!

I seriously feel bad for that atrocious and barbaric act of the wicked people of then

Nigeria had 3 Army divisions. Gen Shuwa; 1st Div; Murdered by Boko Haram in 2012. Gen Muritala! 2nd Div; Murdered by Dimka 1976 Gen Adekunle; 3rd Div; Died a derelict destitute, abandoned alone. Some say he was mad. Gen Bisala; took over from Shuwa in '69; killed after Dimka coup

And also what Nzegwu did against the North, the killing of sir Ahmadu Bello...

NigeriaGov We need no apologies all we need is biafra 💪💪

Maybe it will save Nigeria from collapsing

Toxic Reporters😂

NigeriaGov Nigeria To Offer Apology For Genocide Against The Igbos In The Biafra War Of Freedom, Is Too Early, Because The War Of Freedom For Ndi Igbo Biafrans In Nigeria Is Still Raging?

NigeriaGov Apology for killing TAFAWA BALEWA,SARDAUNA,AKINTOLA and other South and northan leaders.Son of baby factory is really mad.

NigeriaGov Yo mad bro

The only thing that can compensate for the brutal killing of the Igbo people is for them to be allowed to go and be a Nation of their own. Any other thing will just amount to scratching the surface of the problem.

NigeriaGov Apology is nothing, pay reparations to Igbo people... there's no Igbo family that was not affected directly or indirectly by the genocide committed by Nigerian govt.

Let them pay for arresting our collective development when they conspire to kill northern elders thereby ending the first democracy and ushering in a legacy of lootocracy in Nigeria

Have they Biafraud tendered an apology for the massacre of Northern and Western leaders during the unnecessary coup of 1966 led by Major Nzeogwu and other Igbo officers? Remember this was the onus behind the Biafran civil war. BETTER ALLOW THE SLEEPING DOG SLEEP

NigeriaGov We need no apologies. We want BIAFRA at all costs!

gozzy_okeke NigeriaGov Kid knows nothing gonna ask your grandfather about the civil war again Emeka in 1967.

NigeriaGov Who is this one?

NigeriaGov Won’t Igbos also apologize for waging war against Nigeria?

By the look of thing Nigeria are still in the war I don't think if they are ready to end the war. We will never forget

NigeriaGov Old story! Apology is not welcome!! The Zoo must fall. QED

Serious but laughable.

😀😀😀. This is funny!!!
