- (2 Sep 1970) RR7035A NIGERIA: EIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE WAR
When the war ended, the number of people thought to
be in urgent need of food ran into millions. The
Nigerian Government under General Gowon said it
would cope with this problem on its own, and without
the help of outside agencies, many of whom it blamed
for prolonging the war. In this report - one of the first
the Nigerian Government has allowed to be filmed
since the end of the war - we look at how Nigeria is
slowly being restored from the ravages of war, and
examine to what extent the bitterness of three years
fighting still exists.

It's amazing that onitsha, Enugu and other Igbo cities are now more developed that most parts of the north that never saw war. The Igbos are the most resilient black Africans in the world .
Even now, it amazes me. When the war was over, we had absolutely nothing - not even the walls of our house were standing. Then in a frenzy, every male in our village contributed brick-laying, carpentry and masonry skills and a frenetic rebuilding effort began. Those without skills gave their labor, while the women cooked. Money was not charged - nobody had any. All the adults simply swapped skills. Three months later, most families had places to lay their heads without exposure to the elements. The attention then shifted to rebuilding elementary and secondary schools - every community did launches and individuals donated zinc, cement, nails, lumber etc. I still shed tears at the scale of destruction that I witnessed as a child, but I bawl for real when I look at the skylines of Onitsha, Aba, Enugu, Nnewi, Owerri, Nkpor etc today. It's like nothing ever happened - it's unreal.
Don't be on the HIGH-HORSE of ignorant . The NORTH is 1000% larger in POPULATION and LANDMASS to the entire EAST . if you want a comparison , KANO STATE along have the POPULATION/LANDMASS of the entire EAST . U can't Compare the gigantic NORTH with MICRO LITTLE EAST . YOU'RE no match to the NORTH in any CAPACITY .
@@alibabakano2971 your father must be Lai Muhammad where are the north only in the north Igbos are everywhere in the world we will make the north pay for what they did to us come rain come. Shine the north must pay
@@markhozana3909 - peace my fellow Nigerian , it's the only options u have . You're Outnumbered in any CAPACITY . Take HEARTS , let us live as BROTHERS KEEPERS .
Don't be a fool. There hundreds of tribes in the north. Hausas, Fulanis, Kanuris, Jukun etc. None of these tribes separately are bigger than the Igbos in population. Apart from Kano, Sokoto and half of Kaduna, what other cities does Hausaland have? Speak for your tribe don't speak for the north. We have Enugu, Port Harcourt, Asaba as well LGCs in all the surrounding states of the 5 nucleus states especially Delta and Rivers state. If you were Yoruba, I would understand as they own Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Ilorin, Oshogbo, Ile Ife etc. But you're not. Hausaland isn't better than Igboland. *Case closed*
some of those kids are running the Govt in Nigeria today and some are private citizens contributing to the growth of Nigeria . I hail them and may God give them fortitude as they continue to do the good work .
Amen
Very enlightening have to credit the ingenuity and indomitable spirit of the igbos. However just reading the comments we are still beset with the same problems that led to the civil war. Unfortunately it is safe to say that Nigeria is not and never will be a united country.
Tremendous change after just only eight months o, the narrator of this documentary should come and see us now.
So proud of my brother's and sister's resciliance.
Just imagine Biafra was successful then......with their innocent still intact....it would have been a great nation no doubt
May the God of the Igbo man be praised! We will never forget! we shall overcome!
This Igbo tribe today is Nigeria's richest tribe
Yes,,,,it is not because we are diligent or clever but the Lord's doing to repay the Igbos for the genocide,,,,!!!
So sad to see my people suffer
Very industrious and determined people ❤
Forcing people to stay where they don't belong. Nigeria failed us. Look at your Nigeria today
The British created Nigeria without considering the different etnic groups living there
Biafra is only on hold. The dreams and aspirations of a people can never ever be extinguished
It *is* dead.
@@tlig your father is dead 💩
@@tliglike ur soul
The Biafra war only a hate for Nigeria, my grandfathers vowed to never give up hope on Biafra. People don’t understand that this war was more Spiritual than physical. Biafra is only on hold, we’ve been fighting this war since 1850’s and we are going end it.
it should behove you to agree that most of these scantily dressed and hungry-looking kids, now have properties scattered all over the country. Nigeria set them out to fail by taking everything from them but really, how much ill luck can you wish an Igbo man? you can only hate us at your own peril. Who God has blessed...
The Igbo. A blessed and resilient race!
Did you hear that at 8:31."fortunately 1 thing the igbos of Eastern Nigeria don't lack is brains " we don't brag it's who we are. If ur inferiority complex don't allow you recognise the fact, I'm sorry I can't help you. Deal with ur jealousy and envy. Biafra must come
He said they Claimed whether is true or Not that is what they think . That means is not True is a myth . I have been to School with them , the same Class , the only way an IGBO person can Claim mastery is through Cheating , deception and outright Criminals tendency and Can do anything for MONEY including double Crossing his Own kinds .
Professors always will warned u not to associate with IGBOS Students , because they Cheated in anything . Nobody trust them in association .
In Biafra civil war Africa died. The difference between White man and black is sense of reasoning and mindset. If they said that Nigeria is the giant of Africa,who are those that's developing Nigeria? Biafrans. Without the separate State of Biafra, Africa will continue to suffer backwards😢
We fought our enemies and dealt them a heavy blow in there numbers!!
The natural force's that created us shall never depart us
Still pissed off
War or No war. Talk about Nigeria today, nothing is working. Nigerian need help. The killing today is to much far worse than this war
War never sows any good seed
God is great igbo land are more developed than all parts of north
The commentator is very funny, he said we have to do all we can and forget the past. But this is not the type of past that can be forgotten. Never the only thing that can make us to forgive but not forget is just give us BIAFRA that's all if not the fight that will erupt in the future again will be worst ever in Africa. Because it shall be fought with the last drop of our blood if need be. We can't be enslaved forever because GOD didn't create us to be enslaved. Just like GOD sent Moses to go and let my people. I saying it now that the whole world ok let me just that UN should tell QUEEN ELISABETH of UK who is the present day PHARAOH to let us the Biafrans go because we all know that she's the one holding us. She have eaten enough! She must let us before the ones she had eaten begin to pump out of her nose. The blood of the innocent Biafrans that she have engineered their death has been crying out to GOD ALRIGHTY and very soon OUR GOD the GOD of ABRAHAM, IZAAC and JACOB will be judgement on her and her throne if she continue to harden her heart.
The British introduced Christianity to the igbo you're nothing related to moses lol ...Please!! Educate yourself
If the Igbos ever become a republic of their own, they will become a world power like South Korea within twenty years or less. If the Igbos leave Lagos, the city will sink into an economic depression.
Imagine thinking south Korea is a world power
@@jamesnjonjo4092 It is - look around your home at the number of Korean products. That's how much power they exert over you and everybody else.
You will kill each other , because you hates each other , envy among igbos and arrogance will not allow them to prosper . They hates one another progress with fashion .
@@alibabakano2971 You mean the same way a-bokis are killing each other now?
Hunger will kill you guys becoming a an independent of your own. Don’t forget is hunger that defeated you guys not the bullets .
That doctor at 5:42 na fine woman, doing her thing, as a medical student that would be my wife. No offence. Just love what she is doing.
Nwanné nwere nwayo. She’s our mother
@@darkseiidmaka chi 😂😂😂😂
We are more Educated and smarter syndrome that led to millions dying of hunger. Yet the lesson as not sunk in. Some are still beating the drum of war and superiority.
+adedapo sijuwade , You can't help it but exhibit your hatred for the Igbo people. Envy and hate will cause you heart attack. Igbos are better than you, mate!
adedapo sijuwade we are better educated and smarter than you. Deal with it. Inferiority complex is ur problem. And you are just displaying ur envy
The tragedy of the Yoruba as I see it, is that they are condemned to play second fiddle to the oligarchs - at least for the foreseeable future. The day you wake up to the need for absolute freedom to use your evident good brains, you will find yourselves where Biafra was in 1967. Then and only then will you decide to either fight and be free, or live the mess that one Nigeria represents. Think about it.
adedapo sijuwade Sorry the next war will be all over Yoruba land because the SUN will set there, be prepared.
dapo,i agree with you
In Biafra we stand
Useless hausas.
WHY WOULD ANY IGBO FAMILY LOVE NIGERIA FOR WHAT.
Let biafra go dat's all we ask
Leave Lagos for us... U can go we don't want u
@@azeezking4675 But we don't want Lagos. We don't need need to be in the same country with filthy illiterate Bambi Allah beggars like Wasiu and his 10 wives with their 92 children.
No one is holding u
