A Biafran doctor hands out cups containing the daily ration of powdered milk to a line of children at a refugee camp in Anwa, Biafra, Aug. 5, 1968.
One of these children is a popular politician today. Guess where he is in the picture and who he is today.
I think the person is 8th in the picture counting from the child the medical Dr. is attending to. He is Dr. Peter Obi, The executive Gov. of Anambra state.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I mean to write 7th in the picture.
ReplyDeleteLinda Ikeji. She's the one... Yes that one... Behind the boy.
ReplyDeleteNo politician would ever claim to be one of these people expecially if he is not wearing pant!!!!
ReplyDeletei can't even guess...I pray for all victims of war. xx

ReplyDeleteAre you for real? the problems of Ojukwu? I think its more like the problem of colonial mentality. What's wrong about Igbo people wanting to break away from Nigeria? Weren't we on our own before some Oyibo people decided we must be joined together?
it is sad but in 2007 during a dinner date with my oyibo landlord in the U.K he mentioned he still could remember pictures like this in his mind but I had never seen one at age 30 till today!
ReplyDeleteTAKE THIS STUPID PICTURE OFF OF HERE!
ReplyDeleteLINDA, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IGBO, STOP ALL THIS RUBBISH!

ReplyDeleteError: Colour Digital Camera in Anwa, Biafra, Aug. 5, 1968
ReplyDeleteLinda please do some research,Nost of the pics then are in Polaroid/Konica Black and white
To the last anonymous. There is now modern technology to put colour on black and white pictures and videos. Don't you watch History channel where they show both the coloured and black and white videos of the first and second world wars. Same as TCM channel were they show films of the fourties and fifties in colour.
ReplyDeleteTry to live outside your box, there's a whole world out there with endless info and possibilities.
Its not a good look declaring your ignorance to the world all in the advent of trying to be "tight"
to Linda you dey try with all these idiots trying to show that they are better when they are just airheads. My dear, you too much.
I just finished half of a yellow sun last night and this picture brings the images in my head to life... Sad.
ReplyDeleteTo bring to life what our parents and grandparents saw during the war...
May thoes who die rest in perfect peace and may their memories forever live in our heart.
