Over the weekend, I was invited to the launching of a book titled, The Untold Story of Nigeria-Biafra War by Dr. Luke Aneke. I was slated to make a comment on the book. In preparing my remarks, I chose to read up on the Armenians. I chose the Armenians because in the history of the 20^th century, the Jews, the Armenians and the Igbo suffered the worst genocide on record.

Just like the history of the Jews revealed, the last 1600 years of Armenian history was that of persecution, oppression, and subjugation. Armenia was always picked on for its strategic position between Europe and Asia on world map; the distinct characteristics of its people that make them the envy of others; Armenians predisposition to dramatically eclipse the achievement of those around them; and for being the first nation in the world to adopt Christianity as the state religion. Conquered many times by many empires, the Armenians remained after each empire had peaked and collapsed. Out of the ashes of the crumbled empires rise, again and again, the Armenians. Each time, Armenia rises, it demands and asserts its unique place in the comity of nations. 

 In my prepared remarks, I wanted to start by saying: What we have always known is what Dr. Aneke went to great length to support using independent media sources: The amalgamation of Nigeria was essentially the decision of the Igbo people to leave their ancestral land for the first time ever and be part of something bigger than them. Having been late in their contact with the Europeans, the Igbo strived to catch up with those who had location advantage. It took 30 years in colonial Nigeria , where merit mattered, for the Igbo to soar across every sphere of life and surge across every span of Nigeria .   

 The Igbo, who never had a standing army, who never conquered any other people nor lived under any other nation until the British came, were ill-prepared for the politics, power-play and pettiness that come with such a living arrangement. What followed was contempt for the Igbo by the rest of Nigeria and by the British who despised the Igbo’s propensity for independence. For the Nigerians, it was the kind of contempt that accomplishment breeds. In 1945, the first killings occurred in Jos. In 1953, it occurred in Kano . At the end of the enquiry into the Kano killings of 1953, the British wrote that, “No amount of provocation, short-term or long-term, can in any way justify their behavior… the seeds of the trouble which broke out in Kano on May 16 (1953) have their counterparts still in the ground. It could happen again, and only a realization and acceptance of the underlying causes can remove the danger of reoccurrence.”

In 1966, the rest of Nigeria got a “short term” provocation in form of the coup of 1966, to massacre the Igbo. The coup was carried out by young Ibadan trained idealistic Nigerian officers most of whom were Igbo. Their intellectual leaders were the likes of Christopher Okigbo and Wole Soyinka. Their sole aim was to make Obafemi Awolowo the leader of the country. But conveniently, the coup was tagged an Igbo coup. What followed was genocide against the Igbo. When Theophilous Danjuma and his Northern officers murdered General Aguiyi Ironsi and seized power, they decided to announce the secession of the North from Nigeria . Gowon was persuaded to drop the idea by politicians from Western Nigeria working in consonant with British diplomats.

What followed was a period of negotiation aimed at guaranteeing security to people of Eastern Nigeria . Interested in carrying out the final solution to the Igbo problem, Nigeria negotiated in bad faith. As situation deteriorated, the leader of Western Nigeria, Obafemi Awolowo announced to the world press that the West would pull out of Nigeria should the East go. What is not known today is whether it was a bargaining chip for him to eventually become the vice-Chairman of Gowon’s executive council or whether it was a ploy to get the East excited about its prospect while the ulterior motive was to get the East where the rest of Nigeria would pounce on it, crush it and end the rise of the East. For now, nobody can tell.

Well, the war came. Nigeria unleashed every arsenal possible, hiring Egyptian jet pilots, carrying out their “police action” with the Soviets and the British tanks and fighter jets.  The likes of Anthony Enahoro proudly promoted starvation as an acceptable weapon of war. Commanders like Benjamin Adekunle boasted that, “I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary and no U.N. delegation. I want to prevent even one Igbo having even one thing to eat before their capitulation… We shoot at everything that moves… then we shoot at everything, even things that don’t move.”

Thirty months after, the war ended. Gowon declared no victor, no vanquished and promised the world his government would guarantee the Igbo safety and security in Nigeria . The day after, he would not let relief supply to fly into Biafra and save starving children of Biafra who were dying at 30,000 a day. Instead, relief had to be flown through Lagos wasting crucial days on the road before it got to the East. Gowon and his finance commissioner, Obafemi Awolowo, instituted a policy that gave Igbo people 20 pounds in exchange for whatever money they had. The Igbo who owned properties in many parts of Nigeria had their properties declared Abandoned Properties.

With three million dead and a generation battered by war, Nigerians like Theophilous Danjuma who tortured and then crushed Aguiyi Ironsi to death with his booths thought that their actions meant that the Igbo were finished. But they were surprised that in spite of everything, the Igbo survived. Perhaps that was why the end of the war has not ended the killings. It happened in Kano in 1980, Maiduguri in 1982, Jimeta in 1984, Gombe in 1985, Kaduna & Kafanchan in 1991, Bauchi, Kastina, & Kano in 1991, Zango-Kataf in 1992, Funtua in 1993, Kano in 1994 etc. It did not end the oppression, either. Recently, the police officers who murdered the Apo Six were freed on bail while Ralph Uwazurike was given a three months bail to go and burry his mother.

Still, the Igbo are surviving. The Igbo are thriving. And many are beginning to realize now, in hindsight, how foolish the fear that led to all these had become. As observed at a recent World Igbo Conference, Muhammadu Buhari noted that the collapse of the Nigerian civil service happened when the Igbo were flushed out of the service. An example was the Nigerian railway that the Queen used during her visit in 1956 because a laughing stock of a parastatal. The Igbo nation takes solace in knowing that whenever merit returns to Nigeria , the Igbo will soar and surge. 

 Dr. Aneke in The Untold Story chronicled the events leading to the war until days after the war. He depended purely on Western news sources, especially the New York Times which at the time of the war was subjected to protest by Biafra sympathizers for being pro-Nigeria. He closed the case about why and how the likes of Theophilous Danjuma, Yakubu Gowon, Obafemi Awolowo, Anthony Enahoro, Olusegun Obasanjo, Philip Asiodu, Bola Ige, Murtala Mohammed and Benjamin Adekunle persecuted a horrendous war against the Igbo, committing crimes against humanity.

As lawyers now collect documents, as classified documents of that era are declassified across the globe, new questions are being raised and new indictment will be made, even if posthumously. For the dead and the living, justice must be done. It is one of the most effective ways of saying never again. That is the lesson the Armenians and the Jews have learnt.

# 2 Hi Rudolf! please be sincere while re-writing the history for the good of our generation and those to come. You mentioned killing of Aguiyi-Ironsi while jumping the assassination of political leaders in coup of 15th January 1966: Tafawa Balewa, Samuel Akintola, Ahmadu Bello etc. I hope you know the way Balewa corpse was recovered on roadside... You missed the point needed to help Nigeria make positive steps forward with the opportunities available in the reconciliation and historical justice passing through the mentioned project. Let us fill in all the missing gaps and the historical facts without any tribal bias. I support the historical reconstruction of the facts, in as much as we don’t mess it up again with favouritism and bad intentions. To my mind facts establishment and justice can help us a lot to over come our past traumatic experiences which I think is still the major barrier against our progress in Nigeria.

# 3 Mr. or Ms. Firma, Please, for one moment; think, O.K. Thinking is still free. How can you compare what happened in a coup plot (which by the way has been made clear by non-Igbo participants as not Igbo coup) with progrom committed by your Nigeria leaders? Clear your head of all prejudices against Ndigbo, and you will be happier in life for it. And remember, those who support evil for whatever reason(s) seem to forget that in the fullness of time, evil consumes even its own. Mark my words; those individuals who participated in the effort to annihilate Ndigbo will answer for it, either here in this life or in the hereafter. Paschal Ukpabi, Esq. Southfield, Michigan.

# 4 This fellow is one of the savages of the modern era. He lacks the finesse and intellectual depth to cross boundaries of discourse. No wonder he tapped into the depth of his primordial instincts to write an article that would win award for fiction. What happened to evidence, what happened to sources on an issue of historical significance? They abound in every ethnicity across Nigeria. They only seek relevance through articles like this. You come across them with all manner of names.He calls himself Rudolph, the other commentator before me calls himself Paschal . Both funny and creepy names if you ask me.

# 5 To Rudolf and Pascal, Rudolf was mentioning assassination of Ironsi while forgetting that Fajuyi was killed together with Ironsi, both lost their lives there in Ibadan. He is not innterested in 15 January 1966 and the supposed Igbo conspiracy that killed other regional leaders except Igbo leaders. I don’t deny that there were mass killing and condemnable acts in Nigeria, but let us come up with unpolluted claims and evidence to work for a good result. Good, I have no bias against Ndigbo people and most of my friends that are from your area don’t play tribal card. When they call for justice for Ironsi they want the same for Fajuyi that died like him and other millions wasted Nigerians lives. Look! Accept it or not you can never think of justice while missing the facts and the truth of the case. You will end up fighting for revenge and not justice. All I am saying is that there is need for justice but based on truth and not emotional or sensational moves like you and the writer Rudolf are clearly doing. Now when you mentioned "your Nigerian leaders" in your reply, I see clearly that all you want is to repeat the biafran wastage. Is Ojukwu one of those that participated in the annihilation project? If you think he is not, you are missing the road. Firma. =pukpabi;4294969783>Mr. or Ms. Firma, Please, for one moment; think, O.K. Thinking is still free.

# 6 @Rudolph It is not clear to me if you delivered this speech. You said you were invited to a book launch over the weekend and this was your prepared speech. Did you deliver this speech? I sincerely hope not. We are talking about history, one that is very recent (even after 40years) and one that the authentic sources are still very much around. I sometimes wonder why it is so difficult for our ibo friends who are interested in what happened to get Chief Ojukwu to give them an exclusive interview. Generals Danjuma, OBJ, Buhari are still living. Why cant somehow interview them instead of writing FICTION and corrupting our collective history. The civil war is part of our history (Nigerians) and those who call us Nigerians. There are so many books - the 5majors, Why we struck, etc. Are we saying there are no facts in these books? To want to re-write what happened is like trying to cover the sun using one's finger. I do not know the audience you had in mind when you were writing this speech but if it is the ordinary Nigerian on the street, you may not get any attention. Please why did you NOT TELL US ABOUT THE BOOK THAT WAS LAUNCHED. What are the "facts" and new "indictments" Please give us an insight into the book.thank you @Felix you wrote: Once again you have proven that Hate can be hereditary... , a nature so entrenched that even your " most igbo friends" (by the way this is the new fad;everybody boasts of igbo friends while lampooning the igbo, including tanibaba) have given up on saving you without you knowing.Go ahead; swell the ranks of the hypocrites It is true that i have a lot of ibo friends and that is the consolation in this matter. They dont think or talk like the "fake ibos " we have in this village. It is also one single factor that places restrictions on the extent of my comments on the igbo race. My friends have such names as Uche, Ogadinma, Ngozi, Chukwunonye, Obiageli etc. The fake ibos have such names as Felix, Paschal, Nemesis, Stupid etc taslim Posted by tanibaba| 06.12.2007 04:44

# 9 EXCERPT FROM :The Nigerian Civil War, Causes, Strategies, And Lessons Learnt By Major Abubakar A. Atofarati: CSC 1992 Student: US Marine Command & Staff College(Academic Year 1991/92) THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR CAUSES, STRATEGIES AND LESSONS LEARNT The Chairman of the Electoral Commission himself admitted there were proven irregularities. The President, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe refused to appoint a Prime Minister in the light of these allegations. The President and the incumbent Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, were each seeking the support of the Armed Forces. This marked the first involvement of the Armed Forces in partisan politics. For four anxious days, the nation waited until the President announced that he had appointed the incumbent Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, to form a broad based government. The same could not be said of the Western Region election of 1965. The rigging and irregularities in the election were alleged to be more brazen and more shameful. Law and order broke down completely leading to an almost complete state of anarchy. Arson and indiscriminate killings were committed by a private army of thugs of political parties. Law abiding citizens lived in constant fear of their lives and properties. This was the state of affairs when the coup of 15 January 1966 took place. "As an immediate cause, it might be claimed that the explosion of that day could be traced back along the powder trail to the fuse lit at the time of the Western Region election of October 1965." (5:6) The aim of the coup was to establish a strong, unified and prosperous nation, free from corruption and internal strife. The outcome of the half-hearted and ill-fated coup was a change of political balance in the country. Major Nzeogwu's (the leader of the coup) aims for the coup was not borne out of its method, style and results. All the politicians and senior military officers killed were from the North and Western Region except a political leader and a senior Army officer from the Mid - West and the East respectively. The coup hastened the collapse of Nigeria. "The Federation was sick at birth and by January 1966, the sick, bedridden babe collapsed." (1:210) From independence to January 1966, the country had been in a serious turmoil; but the coup put her in an even greater situation. Most of the coup planners were of Eastern origin, thus the Northerners in particular saw it as a deliberate plan to eliminate the political heavy weights in the North in order to pave way for the Easterners to take over the leadership role from them. The sky high praises of the coup and apparent relief given by it in the south came to a sudden end when the succeeding Military Government of Maj Gen. J.T.U. Aguiyi Ironsi, an Easterner, unfolded its plans. If Ironsi had displayed a greater sensitivity to the thinking of the Northerners, he could have capitalized on the relief that immediately followed the coup. But in addition to his failure to take advantage of the initial favorable reaction to the coup, he did not know what to do with the ring leaders who had been arrested. He did not know whether to treat them as heroes of the revolution or send them before a court martial as mutineers and murderers. Military Governors were appointed to oversee the administration of the regions. In the North the numbed favorable reaction in certain quarters turned to studied silence and a "wait and see" attitude. This gradually changed to resentment, culminating in the May 1966 riots throughout the North during which most Easterners residing in the North were attacked and killed. A counter coup was staged by the Northern military officers on 29 July 1966 with two aims: revenge on the East, and a break up of the country. But the wise counsel of dedicated Nigerians, interested and well-disposed foreigners prevailed. The Head of State, Maj. Gen Aguiyi Ironsi and many other senior officers of Eastern origin were killed. After three anxious days of fear, doubts and non-government, Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, at the time the most senior officer of Northern origin and then the Chief of Staff, Nigerian Army, emerged as the new Nigerian political leader. The lack of planning and the revengeful intentions of the second coup manifested itself in the chaos, confusion and the scale of unnecessary killings of the Easterners throughout the country. Even the authors of the coup could not stem the general lawlessness and disorder, the senseless looting and killing which spread through the North like wild fire on 29 September 1966. Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon, the then Head of State, in a broadcast to the people of the North in September said; "I receive complaints daily that up till now Easterners living in the North are being killed and molested and their property looted. It appears that it is going beyond reason and is now at a point of recklessness and irresponsibility." (3:9) Before then, in an effort to stop the killings and to preserve the nation in one form or the other, an ad hoc conference of the representatives of the regions was called on 9 August 1966 in Lagos. The meeting made the following recommendations: 1. Immediate steps should be taken to post military personnel to barracks within their respective regions of origin. 2. A meeting of this committee or an enlarged body should take place to recommend in a broad outline the form of political association which the country should adopt in the future 3. Immediate steps should be taken to nullify or modify any provisions of any decree which assumes extreme centralization. 4. The Supreme Commander should make conditions suitable for a meeting of the Supreme Military Council urgently as a further means of lowering tension. The first recommendation was implemented on 13 August 1966. Troops of Eastern Nigeria origin serving elsewhere in the country were officially and formally released and posted to Enugu, the capital of Eastern Region, while troops of non-Eastern origin in Enugu moved to Kaduna and Lagos. This marked the beginning of division and disunity within the rank and file of the Nigerian Armed Forces. "This simple and seemingly innocuous action broke the last thread and split the last institution symbolizing Nigeria's nationhood and cohesion which had been regularly tampered with by the politicians since 1962. The rift between the Eastern Region and the rest of the country was total." (5:8) Most of the civilian of Eastern Region origin who had never lived in the East and would have continued to live elsewhere in the country lost confidence and moved to the East. Some of them when they arrived at their destination became refugees in their own country None of the other recommendations was fully implemented except nullification of the unification decree. The implementation of the recommendation with regards to the posting of troops to barracks within their region of origin was relentlessly pursued by the political leaders of Western Region after the exercise had been completed in the Eastern Region. They were afraid of the so - alled Northern troops domination and probably of the safety of the troops of Western Region origin. With the troops of Eastern Region back in Enugu and the non-Eastern troops withdrawn from there, with Nigerians of non-Eastern origin driven out of the East in their own interest, and with Easterners at home and abroad returning home with news of Nigerian's brutality against them, and with the oil flowing in the Eastern Region, the way was now open for the implementation of the secession. The East and the North began a virulent of words through their radios and newspapers. Early in 1967, a peace negotiating meeting of the Supreme Military Council of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Eastern Region Military Governor, Lt. Col. Ojukwu was called under the auspices of Gen. Ankrah of Ghana in Aburi, Ghana. As it turned out, all the other members of the council except Ojukwu were either too thrusting, too naive or too ill - prepared for the meeting. Therefore Ojukwu scored a vital goal in his ambition. Walter Schwarz remarked : "Ojukwu got his way with little effort, by being the cleverest. He was the only one who understood the issue. Step by step the others came to acquiesce in the logic of Ojukwu's basic thesis - that to stay together at all, the regions had first to draw apart. Only Ojukwu understood that this meant, in effect, a sovereign Biafra (Eastern Region) and the end of the Federation." (6:18) Different versions of what happened in Aburi were released by Ojukwu in the East and by the Federal Military Government in Lagos. Ojukwu accused the Federal Government of bad faith and going back on promises. The Federal Government accused Ojukwu of distortion and half truths. After several meetings amongst the Federal and Regional officials, what amounted to the demise of the Federation was promulgated in decree No. 8 of 17 March 1967 in a desperate effort to implement the Aburi decisions and to avoid further stalemate and possible civil war. Not surprisingly, Ojukwu completely rejected Decree No. 8 as falling short of full implementation of Aburi decisions. The die was cast. All efforts to intervene by eminent Nigerians and well - wishers to Nigeria like Gen. Ankrah, late Emperor Hallie Selassie of Ethiopia and the late Dr Martin Luther King proved abortive. The flurry of conciliatory meetings achieved nothing. Gen. Obasanjo remarked: "Ojukwu was adamant, obstinate and obdurate. He refused to attend the Supreme Military Government meeting called in March in Benin city, Nigeria to discuss outstanding issues and deliberate on the budget for the coming fiscal year. If he could not achieve his long cherished ambition of ruling an independent Nigeria, he could break it up and rule an independent and sovereign "Biafra." Nothing could stop him." (5:10) As early as 7 June 1966, after the May incident in the North, Ojukwu was quoted as saying: We are finished with the Federation. It is all a question of time." (5:11) Ojukwu seized the Federal Government property and funds in the East. He planned the hijacking of a National commercial aircraft Fokker 27 on a schedule flight from Benin to Lagos. All these and other signs and reports convinced the Federal Military Government of Ojukwu's intention to secede. Lt Col. Yakubu Gowon, the Head of Federal Government, imposed a total blockade of the East. It was realized that more stringent action had to be taken to weaken support for Ojukwu and to forestall his secession bid. Short of military action at that time, creation of States by decree was the only weapon ready to hand. The initial plan was to create States in the Eastern Region only. Such action was considered impolitic and fraught with danger. Eventually 12 States were created throughout the country on 27 May 1967. The Eastern Region was divided into three states. The reaction from Enugu was sharp and quick: the declaration of Eastern Nigeria as the independent sovereign state of "Biafra" on 30 May 1967. The month of June was used by both sides to prepare for war. Each side increased its military arsenal and moved troops to the border watching and waiting until the crack of the first bullet at the dawn of 6 July 1967 from the Federal side. The war had started and the dawn of a new history of Nigeria.
