In the next 2 updates of LIB, I'll be the first to comment. Anyone to bet that?
ReplyDeleteLike who cares. Seriously?
DeleteNigerian leaders, past and present, believe it's best to hide the ugly past in order to keep the country " one ". To heal a wound it's, most times, necessary to expose it, examine and dress it for adequate healing. As long as we continue to hide the ugly aspects of our history, we shall continue harbour mistrust and hatred against one another.
DeleteI was not a witness to the war but I have vivid memories of stories, worse than what this picture portrays, of how many of my relatives died during and after the war in the hands of Nigerian soldiers, some in cold blood.
Perhaps the greatest number of atrocities were committed after Biafra surrendered. Children born from the wanton rape of our women now adults, still remind us of the horrors of the war.
Many of us have moved on however, we should not pretend that these things did not happen. They did.
Wow!
DeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! Kai!!!!!....Nigeria...
ReplyDeleteEya, is well biafrians. let's wave this trauma so that it won't hurt our future bicoz I strongly believe God is on the throne.
ReplyDeleteUr so shameless to said so. Do u know how many children's mans women's, we lost because this war? And ur happy to enjoy ur self. Nigerians are happy in this war, Biafra is real. More then 8 countries join Nigeria to fights biafrans I promised the whole world dream biafrans will surely come to past. God bless biafrans God bless our lost heroes. God help our present leader nnamdi kano
DeleteOh my goodness! Well, what can I say? We are getting there...
ReplyDeleteMay we never experience a monumental tragedy like the Biafran war again.

Wat a world! A story 2 tell indeed.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm! It is well
ReplyDeleteLinda,u and biafra.You guys should forever forget this your utopian biafra.It is not going to happen.
ReplyDelete@ Freshtotoeater 1:13pm - You are obviously dense! Did your father and mother or even your grandparents experience war??? Anu nwuru anwu!
DeleteYour name tells exactly how stupid you are, did she say she's planning on Biafra. She's trying to show how Nigeria is complete fallacy, see how a part of the west in suffering and this ever consciously slippery yoruba's party. I prefer the Hausa's by far cos I no what to expect and how to defend myself but with our south west brothers one will never know. Finally oyeburu na turn by turn.
DeleteRemember not the former things neither consider the things old. God will new things. He is already doing so. We only need to learn form the past and looks forward to a brighter future. Weeping may endure fior the night but joy comes in the morning. It is well with Nigeria. Igbo kwenu. Nigeria Kwenu
DeleteWELL HISTORY IS FOR LESSONS NOT ALL NATION LEARN FROM THEIR HISTORY NIGERIA IS ONE OF SUCH NATION ON EARTH
ReplyDeleteMAY WE NEVER BE VISITED WITH WAR/INSURGENCY AGAIN IN NIGERIA. "TO KEEP NIGERIA ONE IS A TASK THAT MUST BE DONE BY EVERYONE ALIVE TODAY.

ReplyDeleteOmo! Men wear Agbada go beach that year for the matter. Happy Easter er1.
Effect of war, very terrible especially when you don't get humanitarian aid. For those beating the drums of war, this is what you get plus bloodshed and even more macabre things.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness...
ReplyDeletePeople wey dey call for war, I hope say una dey see. May God not allow us experience such again. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteA lot of the people on that beach enjoying were also igbos. Many igbos worked for the other side, all it takes is a little monetary incentive to bait them. It hasn't changed....2015, linda how much did pdp pay you?
DeleteAnd why the photos side by side and at this time?Be careful what you knowingly or unknowingly project or promote.
ReplyDeleteGod bless
Obviously linda has been paid a lot of money to incite violence. If she is allowing herself to be used it means she has something to gain. This is last time I am coming to this site. Anyone that believes In new beginnings and the unity of this country should go to other responsible websites. Linda seems to have gone way over her head with this stunt and wants to use this medium to manipulate the people. This is just a common site, most of the stories she takes from other sites, anyone can be destroyed. All it takes is some good hackers and a public movement. This has left a bad taste. You have revealed yourself!
DeleteIdi stupid... anu.
DeleteAs in this Linda is a very biase biatch!! Igbo skank, na Una do una self, thinking Nigerias resources is for a country that doesn't exist (Biafra) Igbo people can have their Biafra for all I care but not Nigerian resources....
Delete@Anon 6:04pm, what the crap are you blabbing? Why does it disturb you to stare the reality of Nigeria's history in the face? Are you one of those who think that sweeping the realities of the Biafran war under the carpet will make it disappear? Obviously Nigeria remains a divided country cos the issues that led to the war have never been addressed neither the aftermath. Just take a look at the voting map of last weekend. Enough said. Pls leave Linda and her blog alone & stop insinuating nonsense just because you can't help trembling anytime the word Biafran is mentioned.
DeleteLinda dont need you ...u are anonymous .... Martin. D greAt
DeletePeople wey dey call for war, I hope say una dey see. May God not allow us experience such again. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteHeiya! They really suffered.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteGrave, wonder what it was like then. This war is what is still responsible for d marginalisation, sectionalisation and relegation of d Ibos today in attaining d presidential seat. Who's to blame?. Now they even term them minority tribe after d just concluded presidential election. For me though, I would like to see an Ibo president.
ReplyDeleteLinda, so what is the point here, for comparing the 2 pictures. #dontincitehate
ReplyDeleteWe Igbos has come a long way
ReplyDeleteWe lost beloved ones
This memories will forever remain in our heart
Today many of us are all over the world doing good
But some have forgot their root
I pray for one thing"God bless me and give me the wisdom to understand where i come from"
Ojukwu is gone but all hope are not lost
The Moses of Ndi Igbo has come!
Beware anti Igbos!
Ojukwu, the Moses of our time. Nnayi may God continually bless all you left, posterity will forever remember you Sir.

DeleteThank God the war ended oh,bcos d children wr already suffering frm kwashiorkor
ReplyDeleteSo wat do u mean??? igbos are hungry??? linda u no try...
ReplyDeleteWhoever brought up this picture, what does he/she seek to achieve?

ReplyDeleteWords can only do so much. Hugs can do much more than words, but when hugs can’t do anything, that’s where faith kicks in. For me, words and hugs were not enough, but I had no faith. So I tried to give up. At age 10, I tried to drown myself in 6 inches, or 15 centimeters of water, in my home. I told my dad I just wanted to relax, but really, I wanted to end my life. I had enough. I had enough. Ok? Click OVERCOMING HOPELESSNESS to read.

ReplyDeleteLinda this Biafran pix is too sensitive for the period we're in. Please remove it.
ReplyDeleteSeriously! But she'll blatantly tell you that its her blog, so she can blog anything.
DeleteSincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
See all that kwashikwored tummy, waist trainer won't do anything to this! Seriously Nigeria needs to expose Nigerians, especially the Northerners who always cry for war the horrors of war! Let them learn that what they faced under BH is just simple, that war is much worse! They should learn that Igbos have paid their dues and we can't pay anymore and thus they need to unhand us and let us be.
ReplyDeleteMy God!!! Any one praying for war should think twice... Thanks Linda for this historic picture-PST.chekeleke
ReplyDeleteBiafra still in the heart of the Igbo's. Soon all their hustle will pay off.
ReplyDeleteHuuuuu. The Celebration b like Sai Baba campaign .lol
ReplyDeleteThe wickedness of a nation against a tribe driven by their desire to exterminate a race.God is greater than them.
ReplyDeleteCrap!

ReplyDeleteIt was a war!! Didnt ur igbo military men kill hausa leaders too????
DeleteDear Linda, As a media practitioner i beseech you to be mindful of the kind of agenda u set on your platform
ReplyDeleteThe above picture of the civil war in uncalled for at this particular time in Nigeria history as it resonates forgotten issues in the mind of the igbos against the Nigerian state. though blogs aren't censored but you can evolve your own ethical values for what u set.
Well said..I guess u she meant no harm.
Delete*she*
DeleteYou must be an Aboki. She is practically remind us about the need to live together and settle our differences instead of fighting
DeleteWhat are you trying to tell us here? It seems you're one of those clamoring for biafra secretly. You all that is trying to steer up violence will all be exposed.
ReplyDeleteLinda,i wonder why you always put up such pictures! You are trying to put hate in people's heart and mind...That's so so unfair. Pls stop this your ethnic wahala...
ReplyDeleteWhy are you afraid of our ugly past? It's only Gowon that has apologized for the injustices.
DeleteThe black history and slavery day is celebrated every Feb in the US. Linda pls keep the pictures so we learn from it.
Linda kindly take down the Biafra picture, it can incite people.pls take it down.thanks
ReplyDeleteGod help the igbos...
ReplyDeleteLinda kindly take down the Biafra picture, it can incite people.pls take it down.thanks
ReplyDeleteLinda, you are are a sadist. Why bring up this gory picture of Nigeria's tragic past of over 40 years ago ?. I guess to stir up people's emotion and anger.
ReplyDeleteNoted...and what's the point for the comparism?
ReplyDeleteFor most yorubas, the civil war was some event whose dates we had to learn for our govt exams
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast
ReplyDeleteWe shall never forgive nigeria. Please fellow Biafra let's organise our selves.
ReplyDeleteWe must encourage selfless,visionaries. Truthful and those well vast in the culture of love, and responsibilities. Those who are endowed with natures gift of spirituality. Not those who will unleach hatred ,lies and murder in the slightest disagreement. Not unfulfilled people. Unsatisfied people, people still looking for material satisfaction can't be among the vanguards tk less of leadership. We must continue educating pls. We have not taught Our people the true history yet, please organise conference educate our people, don't take money it's called nation building in twenty years we will understand this. Please understand we are Biafrans don't fight anybody no violence just accept the identity and educate your fellow Biafrans the need to have your name, join us we are just Biafrans no group no leader we are OHA the people, our only ideology is simple Biafra we don't fight argue or insult anyone live and let us live I'm Biafran. Connect with me via biafra24 radio is that simple just like that. G-d bless Biafra
Backward retard...thats y we ibos will not be significant fr a long time...look forward...if u like linda dont post...i feel u r a biafran

What did they do wrong by requesting wot belonged us, but Nigeria enslaved us, kip using our sweat n blood to prosper wit nothing in return. But we survive, we always do.We r so disimilar n odrs cnt fathom our shine n success evn in hopeless situations. There ws a COUNTRY, my country God bless #Biafra #ibondioma

DeleteGet lost already Saadatu or whatever u call urslf. The civil war is our history to see and learn from. If u dnt wnt to b reminded of it den migrate.
DeleteWow! History in making. I hope we don't experience another war in Nigeria. D beach really looks crowdy way back. Thank God dat there r other countless beach's in Lagos now.
ReplyDeleteBut Linda what's your point? You just wanna start trouble on your blog today.
ReplyDeleteLinda put this picture down
ReplyDeleteHunger is a legitimate weapon.... Nig finance minister 1970.
Deleteits photos like this that will keep seperating igbos from youruba sycophants and hausa wickedness.May God reward all those involved in this madness.
ReplyDeletePls keep this picture to remind us of our ugly past.
DeleteSo what are the igbos ???? Saints? Fuckin hypocrite.
DeleteWow.... And some people will be celebrating bugari..... I pity Una life
ReplyDeleteUr mind is parochial...is buhari nigeria?? Plus if an ibo man steals does it mean all ibos are criminals?
DeleteWhat's the relevance of the top picture? The second one we can relate to because this is Easter, but the first...???
ReplyDelete@Biafra24, pls warris Biafra?
ReplyDeleteI believe in Nigeria.. Together we'd become better one day
Spare me that Biafran goals, vision n mission
Uhmm,so did they make it?? Kai,sure sm are no more...War is a deadly disease..
ReplyDeleteIt seems we have a problem confronting our history. There is nothing wrong with d picture. It happened, it is history. If we do not want it to happen again, let us get to work. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!
ReplyDeleteYou guys should stop all media attacks on Linda. She happens to be from an ethnicity that was slaughtered. she's allowed to express herself and also show the horrible pictures of war. Warisbad
ReplyDeleteWell...it was a war...one side was just superior.
DeleteFuck off..
DeleteLinda remove urself from politics
DeleteLinda, what r u trying to say? It's not fair when u bring pictures like this, it doesn't portray u as good person bcos u want 2 divide Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThe Nigerian government to manup and address this issue of the civil war. Throwing a blind eye to it wouldn't solve the after effect
ReplyDeleteIts good she posted it,stop calling linda names,good for igbo's so we knw where we stand!
ReplyDeleteThat picture is as a result of the blockade Awolowo instructed on all eastern nigerian bound goods and food. He refused any shipment to be taken to the eastern part of the country against all international rules of engagement. He even ordered that schools and hospitals be bombed. Churches and market places were not exempted. It was all in contravention to the international rules of engagement in warfare. How can we forget this! This union called Nigeria should be re-negotiated!.
ReplyDeleteKeep the pictures rolling Linda. Let the Nigerian army see the ugly havoc they did to their fellow statesmen. These issues should be addressed and we should learn from it. OneNaija
ReplyDeleteGive me dat gun
ReplyDeleteLinda u've started sharing foolish tins oh or is it dt there is no more news??? Pls buckle up
ReplyDeletePLEASE PEOPLE THIS IS HISTORY.IT IS SO UNFORTUNATE THAT HISTORY IS NOT TAUGHT IN MOST OF OUR SCHOOLS.
ReplyDeleteLINDA PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE POST DOWN. IF FOR NOTHING IT SHOULD REMIND US WHERE WE WERE AND THE MORE REASON TO BE TOGETHER AS A COUNTRY.
HAVE A CLEAR MIND TO THIS PEOPLE.
PAINFUL AS IT WAS THE BIAFRAN WAR HAD A DEVASTATING IMPACT ON THE IBOS.THAT THE WAR TOOK PLACE IS SOMETHING WE CANNOT DENY,OR PRETEND THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED.
WE SHOULD TELL OUR CHILDREN ABOUT THIS AT HOME AND IN SCHOOLS.WE HAVE TO SHARE IN EACH OTHERS PAIN.THAT IS WHERE LOVE AND TRUE UNITY LIES.
INDEED THE BIAFRAN WAR TOOK PLACE AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CRIME TALKING ABOUT IT.CHIMAMANDA NGOSI ADICHE HAS ALSO SPOKEN ON THIS ISSUE. OUR YOUTHS NEED TO KNOW. SO LINDA THANK YOU FOR THE PICTURES AND DONT BE INTIMIDATED.

ReplyDeleteLinda be careful with sensitive matter so that you don't bring yourself down for ever .
ReplyDeleteThis is still happening today in different ways. The distrust and dishonest leaders.
ReplyDelete*I weep for my people*
ReplyDeleteAnd nobody has been on trial for war crime? Gowon, OBJ, Buhari, Ibb still walking the streets. Awo was the finance minister who suggested and implemented the starvation strategy. Particularly the no salt that caused kwashokor.
ReplyDeleteLinda bikonu.... Gini ne megi Sef... Odikwa ichoro ka *winks* jidegi..... Pls dnt post this again cos what people read can influence their actions... Happy Easter
ReplyDeleteThe Ibos started all these.They said they wanted to breakaway & instead of breaking away, they were coming to Lagos. To the Yorubas they were not trying to break away but trying to rule Nigeria. So, they joined the army. Bcos if Ojukwu should step in the west, many Yoruba life would be lost. So they had to keep the Biafrans from coming to Lagos by all means possible. Nothing against the Ibos. We were just protecting our people.
ReplyDeleteU r just a big fool which one is they started coming to Lag, mind what u say if u don't know facts stfu, Gosh u r soooo daft
DeleteWhat the guy said wss true. They started coming to lagos and that was the beginning of the end of the war for Ojukwu (who abandoned his ppl and fled) and his goons
DeleteLinda omo ikeji,where is my comment?
ReplyDeleteyou dey mad linda, these might cause upset...

ReplyDeleteFool. I don't blame you. It is because the true history of nigeria and the civil war are not taught in schools as a result people are blind to their own history. I feel sorry for Nigerians. In order to move forward one needs to know and learn from their past.
DeleteLinda is a Biafran.
ReplyDeleteso did these children survive? who are they now?
ReplyDeleteIn as much we would like to delete certain occurrences from our national history,the nigerian-biafran civil war is something that would be hard to erase, the lessons of the war must be taught in schools so as history not to repeat itself.
ReplyDeleteLinda. This is offensive!! Take it Down !! Anything for a STORY???
ReplyDeleteTHIS SHOULD SERVE AS A WARNING FOR THOSE SEEKING WAR IN THE CREEKS
ReplyDeleteLinda be careful with sensitive matter so that you don't bring yourself down for ever .
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame @saadatu you and some yorubas and the rest de beef Linda so no you no longer fancy the history in education well just remember this visit or no Linda's blog she'll still back a millionaire so why you always staying in the middle of every issue in this nation and engaging in conspiracies remember it drowns and don't forget to tell nigerian children the truth cause the day may arise when there might be no more familiarities no forget say we badt you fools
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me, I met a Swiss national in Kaduna in the 80's, and during our discussion, he told me that the Ibo's don't have a leader, I probed to know the source of his information, he told me that it was a book he read that said so. What I am trying to say is that the way things are going today, it seems the Igbo race failed to learn anything after the civil war that ravaged the South East, and set so many of us backwards, and to date the signs are still there for the unborn generations to see.
ReplyDeleteSo heart breaking
ReplyDeletePutting up this photos was so unnecessary because you didnt have to make people sick and drive alot down memory lane. People are doing everything posible to keep nigeria as one and u are pretty much spreading hate.
ReplyDeleteGod forgive you. You just lost a fan and a follower.
AND SOME PPL FROM SE WILL STILL VOTE GMB SMH. THANK GOD MAJORITY OF PPL IN IBOLAND ARE SMART ENOUGH TO DECIPHER THAT APC SUPPORT IS SUPPORT FOR A SYSTEM THAT AIMS TO DOMINATE AND SUBJUGATE YOUR PPLS. AND MAINTAIN NORTHERN POWER. ITS MUST BE RESISTED
ReplyDeleteBar Beach. Waooh! Happy days
ReplyDeleteDear linda...kindly do not post things like this at times that are delicate like this.....it could stair up the unwanted actions
ReplyDeleteI can see bitterness in the depth of Linda's heart. What has Jan 1970 pix got to do with April 1970 pix. Ojukwu should have finished what he started instead of fleeing.
ReplyDeleteIt a new Nigeria dear, embrace her.Anybody that wants to split should go to the international court. Capisce.
Linda you are a big fool for posting this kind of pics,you are trying to incite violence.
ReplyDeleteLinda o ti yo, o fe te.
ReplyDeleteIGBO PEOPLE CAN CRY AND CRY AND CRY ABOUT BIAFRA AND THE WAR ETC, THEY ARE TOOO TOOO SENSITIVE ABOUT ANY TRIBAL ISSUE.
ReplyDeleteIT OOZES OUT OF THEM IN ANY DISCUSSION, YET THEY CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT YORUBAS AND HAUSAS.
GO TO THEIR VILLAGES AD U WILL SEE HOW THEY CANNOT SURVIVE EXCEPT THEY LIVE IN LAGOS,AND OTHER YORUBA/ HAUSA STATES. HOW MANY OF THEM BEGGED THEIR FAMILY FOR TRANSPORT MONEY TO COME AND LIVE IN LAGOS. LINDA U SELF, IF THEY ASK U TO GO AND LIVE IN UR VILLAGE WILL U GO, SO WHY DONT U GUYS SHUT UP FOR ONCE INSTEAD OF ALWAYS ,
CRYING ABOUT HOW U HAVE BEEN CHEATED
MEANWHILE U ARE POSTING THINGS TO REFRESH THEIR BITTERNESS, NA YOU SABI
Linda is angry bcos the new election did not favor the Biafrans of which she is one. Linda, u Biafrans may be lucky next time. Start strategizing today.
ReplyDeleteBiafran forever
ReplyDeleteY nig history read often if u ppl don't want our story told? dat still show d level of hatred shown to ibos.
ReplyDeleteso why are the biafrans in lagos and not in biafra building and growing their economy? With that said, I do think it's time for an ibo president just to get unity in this country. Whether they do better or not is in question but for unity sake, lets have an ibo president the next round. Although I fear they may use the opportunity to get finally create a biafra state...
ReplyDeleteU r an idiot. Y dyu fear we wud use the opportunity to create a biafran state? If we r so useless to Nigeria,y d hussle to keep us? Anumpam
DeleteThey destroyed farms in igboland, cut off forms channels of foregn aid.
ReplyDeletethe blood of the innocent children will forever be on head of GOWON, Awo and their decendants.
War crimes against th people of Biafra.
that is why I will always be sentimental. the atrocities committed by the Nigerian government to Ndiigbo during the war is simply cruel
ReplyDeleteThat is why we dont grow in this country ... History is very important to any nation or group of people .. for instance the suffering the jews underwent during the nazi era is still remembered till today ... So why should biafra be an exception ... We dont bury the past .. we learn from it ... Linda i salute ur courage .. other tribes may hold no relevance to the civil war .. but an average ibo will always have that history in thier minds . You cant errase it rather it can be addressed
ReplyDeleteIbos are the funniest beings in the world. You blame awolowo for restricting food and other goods from reaching the East (Biafra) during the war. Who gives his opponent food during war? I am not saying I support war, but from a sensible point of view, no one gives an opponent aids to defeat him in a battle. Starvation was one strong factor in defeating the Biafrans, and so they did.
ReplyDeleteWe just averted something similar to this Baifran War just a week ago,God Bless PGEJ.
ReplyDelete
