Considering that Nigeria's economy was largely agricultural based at the time of the civil war, why did Biafra require food aid ? Where they not farming or where they dependent on food imports from across Nigeria ? 3 Likes |

"E bin pawa" crooner on the beat There is no civil war in Nigeria right now but "E bin pawa" cries is the loudest in South west . And to think that the world most useless president of Nigeria is from south west makes it worse and funnier Awon Elebi oshi 5 Likes 3 Shares |

That is what happens when people are addicted to quick gains. Who wants to farm when you can make quicker returns from trading? Intelligent folks like the Ukrainians are in the middle of one of the most brutal wars since 1945 and they are still exporting food. So much for folks who claim to be the smartest black people. 4 Likes |

AntiZikist:Dominant soil in the SE region is Red soil (Mud or Clay) Clay is not stable neither is it fertile for agriculture. They become water logged and deprive plant of oxygen needed to grow. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AntiZikist: Use your brains before you open such thread. It does not matter how much you farm, or how large your food production is, once you are displaced by war , you will face hunger and famine. Even the farmer producing the food is running from bullets and bombs and cannot farm 4 Likes 2 Shares |

gidgiddy: So everywhere was under attack throughout the war with no front? Try another lie Ukraine is still farming to the west while the liberated regions in the East have since restarted farming. Was there no front or where Nigerian troops roaming everywhere throughout the war ? 3 Likes |

You can not compare the Biafra civil war with Ukraine. The Biafra war was far more brutal. The deliberate bombing of civilians were well recorded. Even hospitals were bombed, how much more expecting farmers to farm. Igbo is no found wanting in hard work. The SE refined their petrol. Produced armoured tanks and several other feats. Ojikwu did not declare war. It was forced on the SE 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Those of you engaging the op, I hope you're eating something nice while sipping chilled wine as you discuss events of the past while op and his people are crying under hunger today. That's the best way to engage him. Today's reality is that the evil contraption is under severe lack of food and at the precipice. Nothing the hate filled op says can save the situation so you should engage him without attaching much to whatever he writes. 2 Likes 1 Share |
