Emeka Ojukwu and Yakubu Gowon meet in Aburi Ghana and agree a plan to avert civil war. The agreement was known as the Aburi Accord. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANvAbHeGkyE&index=11&list=PLRzmuN0KKXK9k3JcrzUfXjTPBxXKWYqZl 1 Like |

Why can't the army bomb residential areas in North, if only to flush the insurgents infesting the region? After all Gowon said that the Biafran war and Boko Haram militancy are the same type of problem. OBJ did this in Odi, didn't he? Gowon and OBJ: The duo of Nigeria's best presidents eva!!!!!! GEJ is clueless and incompetent! Get to bombing and raiding already.  I kid, I kid. 2 Likes |

raumdeuter: ^^^You're quite the revisionist aren't you! Show me where in that website it says the Biafran forces committed pogroms and went for civilians as your precious Nigerian troops did! Well all hope is not lost for you as you musty have been feeling guilty from all the evil Nigeria did to Biafra, so much so that you had to go digging on the net for something......anything that could point to any Biafran war crimes, real or imagined! Epic fail!! I'm of the firm belief that the major reason Biafra lost that war was because we were not as evil and depraved as the Nigerian side, and we kept to the rules of engagement while you evil lot shot at just about 'everything that moved'! These are also excerpts from your link: "This Invader was essentially a civilian machine and, to facilitate its export from Europe, it was described as a survey aircraft destined for an organisation in Gabon and carried no offensive armament. As a result of its previous missions it had an unusually shaped "solid" nose. It was ferried in its original bare metal colour scheme but was quickly camouflaged in Biafra with a two tone green/brown scheme on the upper surfaces and pale blue undersides with a distinctive sharkmouth and glaring eye, a scheme which found much favour with the enthusiastic Biafrans. The rudder was painted in the three national colours, black, green and red with a Biafran rising sun insignia superimposed on the middle section. The electrical bomb release mechanisms were still in place but were designed to function with conventional bombs of a certain configuration and weight. The Biafran bombs were makeshift affairs often fashioned from oil drums and gas cylinders so were in no way compatible with the relatively sophisticated systems in the Invader. Zumbach, who by this time was calling himself “Johnny or Kamikaze Brown” had no choice but to instruct his "bombardiers" to throw them out the opened bomb bay. The bombs were made by a Biafran artificer, Willy Achukwe, whose former trade, it was rumoured, lay in the manufacture of fireworks! Willy's bombs were marvels of ingenuity and even included delayed action devices. Zumbach describes one creation having "a base containing phosphorus suspended in an insulating liquid. A Bickford fuse ran from this compartment through a partition plugged with wax, into a second stage. This compartment contained gunpowder. The third was crammed with scrap metal. Two big nails protruded from the base of the thing. The impact of landing drives the nails into the base of the bomb and pierces the first compartment. The insulating liquid runs out of the resulting punctures and the air gets in. It sets the phosphorus alight, the heat melts the wax and the Bickford fuse detonates the gunpowder." ************ "For Biafra however, the situation was different. Isolated both geographically and politically she was unable to obtain aircraft by conventional means and had to rely on the often shady world of the arms dealer and, as a result, came to operate a somewhat motley collection of aircraft. Her two A-26 Invaders were perhaps the most interesting. The stories of how they were obtained almost make a thriller novel!" ************* "The 10th July saw Zumbach and his Biafran crew heading north for Makurdi, a supply centre for the Nigerian army some 125 miles north of Enugu. They had been alerted by listening to radio transmissions from Nigerian aircraft that a number of freight aircraft were inbound for Makurdi. The crew consisted of a co-pilot/radio operator, Godwin Ezeilo, a navigator/forward gunner "Freddy", a rear gunner above the bomb doors and two "bombardiers". Approaching the target, Zumbach had Ezeilo call Makurdi airport to ask for landing instructions to give the impression that they were a routine Nigerian flight. The ploy worked and ensured that the Nigerian AA batteries remained quiet. Bombs were dropped manually by the "bombardiers" and appeared to have had some effect and both gunners blazed away as long as the target remained in sight. Elated, the crew made tracks for Enugu where a tumultuous welcome awaited them. The Biafran press, ever mindful of the effects of propaganda, waxed lyrical for days about this attack, hailing Zumbach as "Saviour of Biafra". Very soon after this mission, Zumbach mounted an attack on a motorised column travelling with supplies from Kano which resulted in his being hit by ground fire. Landing at Enugu he discovered that the aircraft had suffered damage to a flap and a tyre had been punctured. Aircraft tyres being unobtainable in Biafra, he was forced to make an unscheduled trip back to Europe to find a spare. Encouraged, no doubt, by his air force's modest successes, Ojukwu called for Zumbach and put to him a proposal that an attack should be made on the only capital ship in the Nigerian Navy, the "Nigeria" which was moored in an estuary off Port Harcourt. The fear was that the Nigerians might be planning a landing to take out Biafra's lifeline to the sea. Special, far heavier, bombs would be required which were manufactured by the Biafran artificer. The raid was to be flown by the A-26 and a Biafran DC-3. As dawn broke on the morning of the 26th July, Zumbach took off leading the attack in the A-26. He dived on the “Nigeria”, dropping small bombs and strafing the vessel with machine gun fire, closely followed by Ezeilo in the DC-3 loaded with two of the special bombs. The first bomb landed astern of the destroyer and the second, thirty feet to the side of her. Both bombs exploded covering the "Nigeria" with clouds of spray and making the sailors run for cover." |
