- The Biafran War | Nigerian Civil War 1967| An Igbo Child Perspective
The Biafran War | Nigerian Civil War 1967| An Igbo Child Perspective, in this video I explain the brutal Nigerian civil war of 1967. The Biafran war was a 3-year war that left the country and the people in shambles. Most Nigerian children, especially Igbo children don't know much about this war!

I’m an Igbo woman before I’m a Nigerian
PERIODTTT
That's very devisive rather than advocating for unity. Nigeria is a beautiful and rich country, so are the people. It can be even better. There are examples of countries that have proven to be able to live in peace despite their different ethnicities. I think all those three ethnic groups have strengths that can be utilized to make your country great.
@@n.p.e870 Igbo existed before there was a Nigeria. Nigeria was not formed by "Nigerians".
That being said just as a Black person I'd like to see a Black country that is as nice to live in as even just Portugal
@@n.p.e870 Nigeria
West African nation, named for river Niger, which runs through it, + country name ending -ia. Related: Nigerian.
I already know that I’m gonna love this video. I can feel it in my bones
Let me know what you think!!
God bless You my child, protect, give you more wisdom and take you to higher heights in Jesus name Amen..!🤩😘💞🙏
Amennn!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Well done! Very informative !
I am an Igbo woman FIRST!
I’m just waiting for Netflix to hit you up for a documentary deal 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🤩
I am a Nuer not south Sudanese. My people the Nuer want independence because we are a separate Nation of people. The government committed genocide on my people in 2013 and that spun into a civil war. We never wanted to be one country. I support Biafra independence and the creation of an independent Igbo Nation. Africa is redrawing her lines
igbo can not be let free from nigeria they killed our leaders in the north and also killed the leaders of the south west we the north have long history so as the west these igbo are stubborn if we let them go they will be like somali they will keep fighting. uk gave the igbo power in 1960 in the army they use it for bad igbo can never leave nigeria that oil is nigeria oil and they can also never be president igbo are to be ruled. They refuse to accept islam and and very other ethnic part of the country have both major religion.
Thanks for this video. I’m Cameroonian, from the NW region that borders what would be Biafra and my people are suffering a similar plight towards the road to sovereignty. Ive heard so many biased accounts of what the true history is and after everything I’ve experienced with my country, I just knew they were false. I’m glad I found this video.
Thank you again for this! I definitely learned some more details of the war from it. I always felt that this section of Nigeria’s history was always brushed under the carpet and I’m glad to see our generation taking control of the narrative and telling these stories! Well done sis ♥️
In light of this history plus what is happening today I don't believe restructuring is a viable option. I mean let's face it - you basically said it - Fulani/North will never agree to anything other than total domination. After all Nigeria was handed to Fulani by the British from the beginning of its formation. Abeg let's go back to who we were on our own thriving for over 5000 years - Biafra. Period. 🙏🏽
You do have a point! I’m just always for peace and what we could possibly be do.
@@Ammychi_ Yeah, peace would be nice, but their version of 'peace' is keep quiet and don't protest while we dominate you. Not real peace 😂
This was beautiful! Def learned a lot and actually conjured up an opinion on everything now! I pray this goes far! Thanks Amarachi for this video ❤️
Yay! I’m glad!! Amen oo & anytime
Igbo woman and proud of it. 🤎🤎🤎
This was everything. Thank you for this 🙏🏾
Loved Loved Lovvveeddd everything about this video! Great job girl !
The amount of blessings that God has in store for you is abundant!!!!!!!! You have really done something so impactful to the Igbo tribe. Chukwu gozie gi!!!!!!!!!!!11
I learned soo much man!! I’m soo proud that God is using you to spread knowledge to our youth community!! Thank you for this video!
WHAT A VIDEO! Omo, I learned SO much. I love edifying content & this - sis!!! Incredible!!! I love it, I love it. Thank you for edifying us on this information. I look forward to the reconstruction that will come forth in the land forced upon us. Unity is possible!
It is obvious that the 1966 coup d'état destroyed Nigeria. However, contrary to what Sir Ahmedu Bello said. It was never a question of Igbos dominate / monopolize any tribe, or region in Nigeria. Not the East, South, West, and definitely not the North. The reality is that, the Igbos are blessed with an exceptional mindset of business development and education. Wherever the Igbos find themselves they display the art of creativity, particularly in business investments, growth, development, expansion and sustainability. That is an Igbo man for you. It is in our blood to be productive and successful at any level, anyway we are. It's not our fault. We use our creativity effectively.
Wow I love this. It’s so crazy how I was just doing research on this not too long ago!
I remember learning about this when I was younger. This video is putting all the pieces back together. Great Video ✨
Yayy! I’m soo glad!!
You explained it so well, im so proud of you sista! Im going to subscribe ooh #PROUDIGBO
We needed this ! Thank you ❤️ #IgboKwenu
thank you so much for this video.
awesome narratives.. good job lady.. thumbs up, and I'm very proud of you..
Hey girl! This is fantastic... super insightful for a diasporan like me.
I’m happy u made this video
😭😭 thank you sisssss😭
AmmyChi no seriously this is important, i can't wait to share this on my website 😭 i was just going to get into the origins of different countries in africa starting with Nigeria so this is no coincidence! thank you for taking your time with this video!
That guy sounded extremely envious of those who are ambitious and have leadership skills. He sounded to dumb to be in such a position of power.
Loving this ❤️
Brilliant!
I am Yoruba by tribe but had my earlier years in a Western Country. I have read extensively about the Biafran War and events that led to the War.
I find it very provocative for Ahmedu Bello to say that the Igbos wanted to dominate way back then ! This man is a typical Fulani man that believes in taking control no matter what. The typical Igbo man is very industrious and this kind of brought hatred and jealousy towards them. The Igbos believe in making a living through business anywhere they choose to go. Unfortunately, the Igbos are Christians which the typical Hausa Fulani dislikes.
Ahmadu Bello lied by saying that Northerners would not be employed in other Regions. The other Regions were far more accommodating than the core North and that's a fact ! The coupe of January 1966 was tagged an Igbo coupe because the Eastern Political leaders targeted then survived for various reasons. This made the core North to believe it was a tribal coupe. They ignored the fact that a Yoruba man (Ademoyegun) was a member of the coupe plotters. Akintola that was Yoruba was killed but the Northerners ignored it. Ekoti-Ebo was not from the North yet he too was killed.
I am a lover of History and I must say it that the British caused these problems. The counter coupe was what triggered the genocide against the Igbos. After slaughtering many Military Officers of Igbo extraction, the core North went further to begin killing the Igbos residing in the North.
Unfortunately Ojukwu wasn't ready for the War even though he didn't have a choice than to declare a secession.
I totally dislike the Fulanis in particular due to their "radical take by force" attitude. I vowed NEVER to have a Hausa Fulani friend again when my friend's Father was killed by them when I was living in Kaduna during the Zangon Kataf crises !
If this country is to stay as one entity some kind of restructuring MUST be done. The high level of agitation for self determination in the South East and now in some parts of the South West is already sending warning signals.
Well-done to this Lady that made this video. It's very informative. The present Fulani controlled Government will NEVER want this part of Nigeria's History to be taught in Schools in the country for obvious reasons. Once again, Kudos to you for this informative video.👍
More grace to your elbow Ammy,
Amen oooo
Opobo Ibani here, and I have and will continue to support Biafra
Hardworking Igbo’s being labelled by Ahmadu Bello as domineering.
Their policy is still the same today, he made it clear that is a Northerner first and all decisions, policies are permanent, this is why Nigerians cannot achieve collaborative partnership as it stands hence we should be encouraged and supported to our own self determination
Great job.
amazing content and educational .
Princess Ihekwoaba wow thank you Prinny spoke
I love the video
May God bless you
This is very important ✨
Thank you sisss😭😭💕
The North was very educated before the British colonized. The North had their own State, organized functioning government and a thriving economy. The North attempted to fight the British but were overcome. It's unfortunate that the British manipulated everyone.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank youu

What's crazy is this was going on at the same time as the civil rights movement in America. It's just now getting revealed how many Black Americans have some Igbo in us. Nobody talks about this or the Belgian Congo or the Herero

Ms amarachukwu, you seems really a very good person and beautiful lady but l would like you to try something else helping for unification of nigerians !!!!!! Im not from Nigeria, but Living together seems to be the right solution for me ! I Can be wrong !
Any Igbo man that is against MNK and BIAFRA will be put to deaths. God bless unknown saint men's.

The spirits of jealousy and envy is all over this man👎🏿
We serve a God that sees all! Jehovah Gibbor Milchamah shall move on behalf of Igbo.
Igbos are descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
this story is soo one-sided. I'm a southerner myself but this war is due to the Igbos not being diplomatic. they kicked start the series of coup d'etat that greatly hindered Nigeria's progress. instead of showing a love for the country by so doing winning the heart of the people so they stand a chance at elections, they decided to force out a government of the majority. that didn't work, so they called for war. and persisted because the french fed them false hopes on winning the battle. they wanted to control the sea and the oil which are essential to Nigeria's economy and you expected Nigeria to say, o well here you go. have it? its greed and the want for power that led to the death of all those people. there is no federation in the world today that would allow a secession. the United States, India, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Argentina, Australia etc.
even today the same story is still going on, there is no real reason why Biafra agitators are still around if not hate, want for power and religion. it is such a selfish course that it really Buggles me on how people don't realise that if Biafra succeeds it will kick start an entire series of tribes in different African countries wanting to become their own country. millions more will die for selfish reasons. we all need to embrace nationality and let tribalism go. which is why I do not agree with you saying you are an Igbo first before a Nigerian. let us take lessons from our history and take a page from Rwanda before we kill ourselves away. at the end of the day, the British and the french will still take over our lands once we are no more.
to you very cowardly?
Yes cowardly oga! She said what she said!!
I was taken aback a little by that, too, but she has the right to her opinion. However, knowing what I have learned about some of what was going on behind the scenes, running away for him was quite understandable. Even Mandela ran for his life (to Biafra btw) as have most other freedom fighters historically.
I don't think he was cowardly for running for his life because base on what I was told that he really fought very well but didn't have much support even form his team at a point. "He who fight and run, live to fight again". You did a very good job, I personally learnt a lot from this video. God bless You ❣😘🤩👏🙏
Destiny Rising Sun you do have a point!
jecinta uzowuru yes you have a point
This story is one sided.
