Dude I'm not into any silly deek measuring conte st with u about what tribe is the best and all that because I'm too decent to be dragged into your petty tribal banters and show of shame on NL.

Mr I.T.K ,folks like u have nothing upstairs yet u feel like some Einstein wallowing in sheer ignorance

The term Hindu, in contemporary parlance, includes people who accept themselves as culturally or ethnically Hindu rather than with a fixed set of religious beliefs within Hinduism. One need not be religious in the minimal sense, states Julius Lipner, to be accepted as Hindu by Hindus, or to describe oneself as Hindu.
Hindu - Wikipedia

I guess u have no inkling of an idea what foresight means,anyway if they had invented whatever your claim they did way before the way them that's foresight but since it's during the war then its sheer necessity after been pounded silly by canons are u this slow that we have to break everything down for u.

You claim Igbo's have innovated a lot yet u haven't been able to give us an example of your innovations and pls don't mention taking prototype samples to China to make dumbed down replicas as your ingenuity.

Im forced to agree that everybody brain no be the same with your rants because it looks like yours might be a small one of a lower primate because only Orang Utangs go chest beating with absolutely nothing to show for it.

He gave you real facts and docs.Reaalities other than propaganda also showed that you did not produce anything before the war or even after the war more than the other tribes especially Yorubas that you have called out.Even regional system of government showed that you Igbos are not intellectually savvy like the Yorubas. The Yorubas developed in leaps and bounds until your jealous uncle started the unitary system of government which you are trying to run away from now because it has grounded Nigeria,even the mumu Northerners that think they are at an advantaged position with the 'bury Nigeria totally' system.Even in this modern time,Yorubas are still technologically better than the Igbos who should have used the war to be technologically better than anybody else.If Yorubas had gone through Igbos' experience,I am sure Yorubas would have built technological machineries never seen in Africa.This is my thought.All evidences showed that France,mercenaries built and brought in some weapons which had to be Biafranised with a few emblems and coatings.Biafrans were mainly used as labourers.This is a fact and you know but like to hide under falsehood like the 'father of the internet'...lol

And Ogbunigwe was not a product of Igbo ingenuity; it was a “bespectacled” American mercenary from Massachussets Institute of Technology, uncovered by the Irish journalist Donal Musgrave ,that was secretly training Biafrans on how to use fertilisers to make bombs (cf 13 August 1968 cable from American Embassy in Dublin to the one in the Lagos).

https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/amp.rfi.fr/en/africa/20170525-how-france-armed-biafras-bid-break-nigeria



France secretly armed Biafra in the self-proclaimed republic’s attempt to break away from Nigeria in a bid to weaken British and US influence in Africa, documents seen by RFI reveal 50 years after the beginning of a war that cost up to two million lives.

The ethnic Igbo-majority Eastern Region declared its independence on 30 May 1967, following a military coup, a counter-coup and what French diplomats described as “pogroms” of tens of thousands of Igbo living in northern Nigeria the previous year.

The attempt to break away led to a 32-month war, which was to see about between 500,000 and two million deaths from starvation caused by Nigeria’s blockade of the breakaway region.

Nigeria’s former colonial ruler, Britain, backed the Lagos government’s One-Nigeria policy, covertly providing weapons and military intelligence.

The US declared itself neutral, while the Soviet Union gave full support to the Nigerian government.

Although France – unlike allies Gabon and Côte d’Ivoire -- never recognised Biafra diplomatically, it backed what then president Charles de Gaulle called its “just and noble cause.”

Anglophone giant

De Gaulle saw the conflict as a means to weaken the “anglophone giant” of west Africa, which was surrounded by former French colonies closely aligned with Paris through a policy of defending French interests that would come to be known as Françafrique.

While French Foreign Affairs Minister Maurice Couve de Murville declared that his country was observing a “complete embargo”, the presidential palace’s notorious “Africa cell”, headed by the controversial Jacques Foccart, sent large quantities of arms to the Biafran side, taking care to keep the operation secret from the Quai d’Orsay.

The planes carrying the weapons had to pass through the airspace of several countries that opposed the process, prompting a complaint by Morocco, which had not granted them access.

They landed at Uli, “Africa’s busiest airport”, according to Biafra supporters. But it was in such a poor state that pilots flying for Nigeria, including South African mercenaries, sometimes mistook it for a stretch of road. Pilots recruited by Biafra were in the know and managed to bring 75 tonnes of rifles, assault rifles, bazookas, grenades and cannon in just 11 days in 1969, documents show.

Appeal for more weapons

But, with the Biafran side losing ground, Foccart’s men appealed for more.
Warning that the breakaway territory could fall “before the end of October [1969]”, one of them Philippe Lettéron, wrote in a note now in the national archives and seen by RFI, “to take back control of the situation and have some hope of regaining the lost territory, a massive effort of at least 600 tonnes of arms and munitions would be needed in a very short space of time.”



Defeat did in fact come in January 1970 but not for want of French arms, as telegrams from the French embassy Lagos reported, notably when French expatriates in Port Harcourt, the region’s main port, notified it that the Bounty, hailing from Bordeaux, had broken the blockade and delivered weapons.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry did find out about the arms traffic and drew up an “inventory”, declassified at RFI’s request, in 1968.

It lists 16 Alouette and 12 T6-G helicopters and two planes for training pilots, delivered before the war, and two B26 bombers delivered after the independence declaration.
Support for the Biafran cause did not prevent France selling some arms to the Lagos government, mainly parts of orders placed before the war broke out.

And planemaker Sud-Aviation, then headed by Maurice Papon who was later convicted of war crimes during the Nazi occupation, lobbied to be allowed to sell helicopters, while sending a note the Africa cell, now declassified at RFI’s request, advocating “secret backing” through the supply of mercenaries to Biafra, to guarantee France a “privileged position” in an independent Biafra where high-quality, low-sulphur oil had recently been discovered.

Many French mercenaries

In fact, a number of mercenaries, many of them French, had been in the area since at least five months before the declaration of independence, as ambassador Marc Barbey had been informed by French nationals in Port Harcourt and a Soviet diplomat.

But Barbey, either believing or pretending to believe that they were working for the Lagos government, discussed their presence with Nigerian military leader Colonel Yakubu Gowon, urging him to refrain from recruiting French citizens.

Gowon warned the diplomat against any action that might threaten Nigeria’s territorial integrity but Barbey told his superiors that “France is certainly not the target” of the warning, since it was Israel that was sending mercenaries to the territory.



Once the war started, the US was alarmed to see a French crew fly a B26 bomber into rebel territory, leading the French Foreign Affairs Ministry to discover that three American-built bomber were there, two of them having been flown in from an airbase at Creil, near Paris.

More arms smuggling came to light when a plane that had formerly belonged to Air France exploded in Bissau due to the munitions it was carrying.

The most notorious of the French mercenaries, Rolf Steiner, a former Hitler Youth member who joined the French Foreign Legion, formed a 3,000-strong brigade that became the elite corps of the Biafran army.

But he and most of the other mercenaries left before the final defeat.

“After departure of Rolf Steiner and his comrades, there are only three European combatants with the Biafrans, two French and one English,” French Ambassador to Gabon Maurice Delauney, a Foccart loyalist, reported in a telegram on 15 November 1968.

Not all francophone countries in Africa sided with Biafra.

Senegal sent a diplomatic envoy to Enugu, the Biafran capital, with the hopes of convincing the separatists to backpedal. And landlocked Niger, which depends on Nigeria for its access to the sea, went further. It played a key role in the transfer of Belgian and Swiss arms supplies. Weapons were flown in on Sabena flights and held in storage in the Niger presidential palace before being sent by lorry across the border to Kanu, French cables indicate.

The war dragged on until January 1970 when a young Nigerian officer, Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo announced on Radio Biafra that the conflict was officially over.
Obasanjo became Nigeria’s head of state in 1976 and again in 1999.

We never denied France assistance, what we are saying that Igbos scientists manufactured most of the arms they used most especially Ogbunigwe (Ojukwu bucket), that is what I'm asking you to provide a reliable source that proved them wrong, Igbos fought Nigerias troops with Egypt, USSR, British, Saudi Arabia, held them for three solid years, if you use your common sense you will know the arms they hurriedly and limitedly manufactured will not sustain them. I know it's hard for you and your likes to admit Igbos ingenuity because of hatred, their ingenuity is still much alive, it will cost just few amount for you to see it raw, visit Nnewi, Aba, Mgbuka Obosi, Coal camp Enugu and read more about Awka blacksmith.

Yes Igbos are intelligent just like Bantus,Edos,Ijaws and other tribes are also intelligent but Igbos' problem is exaggeration and wanting people to believe and suck in everything they claim even without authentic evidence.I have learnt that nearly every tribe in Nigeria has the ability to produce guns and even explosives.
Most of what you have been posting about your technological feats were taken mostly from what your people relayed and wrote but white people(France,Israel etc)who witnessed and helped you prosecute the war had never said anything about Igbos producing any rocket,plane and all the stupid lies you and your people have been fed for a very long time.They have only shown sympathy and talked about the need to help.
We have read authentic documents from dependable neutral sources neytralising your lies and giving us the real picture of how France brought in most of those things you are claiming to have built.It is because of this civil war propaganda that we have all thought that you are technologically good but events have shown that you are a fluke. Necessity begets creativity and war has brought out the best in humans at different periods,I am sure Igbos put in some effort labour wise and fabrication wise but the bulk of everything Igbos are claiming came from France and Mercenaries.In recent times,the Yorubas have shown remarkable technological advances more than the Igbos and they are not shouting or intimidating the other tribes with'we are the best'..'Nigeria cannot stand without the Yoruba'...Yorubas are the smartest black race' and all jargons that your people have been spewing all over the place without evidence to show their claims except noise.

Mercyville, you are a true omoluabi. They claim to have built all these but where are the factories? Where did they get the raw materials to build the weapons even when they were under seige? They could build weapons but not feed themselves. The truth here is that all those weapons were not built by them. They love to lie and overrate themselves. That Ibo guy called Tundebrikalyer claimed the South-east has the highest number of Jamb applicants, sudents admitted, and higher institution graduates, but I did my calculations and noticed they were all lies.
The average Ibo man is a chest beater and noise maker. I can't wait for them to get their Biafra. At least, they would learn to face reality.

There are thousands of Igbo shoe makers that produces what Nigeria use and ship out side neighboring countries, so Itele (China customized products) is what you can boast off

Checkout Global Smartfit own by Igbo that's exactly what I'm asking for not China products

We never denied France assistance, what we are saying that Igbos scientists manufactured most of the arms they used most especially Ogbunigwe (Ojukwu bucket), that is what I'm asking you to provide a reliable source that proved them wrong, Igbos fought Nigerias troops with Egypt, USSR, British, Saudi Arabia, held them for three solid years, if you use your common sense you will know the arms they hurriedly and limitedly manufactured will not sustain them. I know it's hard for you and your likes to admit Igbos ingenuity because of hatred, their ingenuity is still much alive, it will cost just few amount for you to see it raw, visit Nnewi, Aba, Mgbuka Obosi, Coal camp Enugu and read more about Awka blacksmith. You can denied you not heard of Awka made guns? Igbo's are industrious and very intelligent.
Oh my! Are Igbo people dunces for God sake.Are weapons,rockets made out of thin air without steel,tools etc to manufacture them? Oh gosh,these people seem duncer (yes,they seem to be the most duncely of them all ).... grin

I say...congratulations. wink

YORUBAS have been at the helm of affairs of education in Nigeria for a long time and they still do but do not make noise.

According to statistics,Yorubas have the highest number of professors,lawyers,engineers etc.
Yorubas have the highest number of best black mathematicians in the world.
Yorubas have about 7 geniuses who have gotten the world highest score of 5.0 cgp from universities both home and abroad.

Yorubas are the only people that have 5 youngest PhD holders in the world and the list goes on and on...

I say congratulations again because the educational world was not created for Yorubas only but they have a very enviable position in the scheme of things. wink


I am sure if you have the type of Yorubas' achievements,you will say you are the the smartest and most intelligent humans.. grin

To the best of my knowledge. Kano according to statistics. Is the fourth most developing city in Nigeria. Ph is third. Abuja second. Lagos first. Ibadan is the largest city in Nigeria in time of landmass . But in population. Lagos first and Kano second. The richest state in Nigeria in terms of GPD Lagos state first And rivers state second. IMO state has the highest number of professors in Nigeria. Southwest is the most developed political region. Anambra has the highest number of millions in Nigeria. The most less developed region in Nigeria northeast. My people. The richest tribe in Africa is igbos. Southwest has the highest number of university graduate. Igbos are more hardworking than any other tribes in black race. Hausa most sincere tribes in Nigeria. Igbos the smartest tribes in Nigeria. All this figures has been authenticated. I didn’t makes it up. British position north in leadership of Nigeria because of successful ness of indirect rules before 1960. Every tribes has advantages and also disadvantages associated with their tribes. Therefore. Let us respect one another and desist from tendencies that tears us apart. I have benefited from almost every tribes in Nigeria in many ways. I love black and white and I can not discriminate any tribes or region. Discrimination is sign of on civilization and also contrary to biblical principles. Pls my people. Prove me wrong if you are not comfortable with my points but PLs do not insult me
You sound innocent so I would not burst much of your bubbles but Ekiti has the highest numbers of professors,both living and dead.... according to what scholars have been saying until Igbos changed it about 4 years ago without proof that it is Imo state.But the authentic statistic from NYC showed that Yorubas have far more professors than the Igbos.

Nobody knows the richest tribe in Africa,it could be Bantus,Ashantis,Igbos,Yorubas,Hausas etc but according to Forbes and statistics,South Africa has the highest number of billionaires followed by Nigeria with 4 billionaires.Out of the 4 billionaires...Dangote-Hausa,Otedola-Yoruba,Adenuga-Yoruba,Alakija-Yoruba....no Igbo.
