To look back at why Biafra went to defensive war against Nigeria aggression in 1967-1970, will conjure anger and bad feelings...But one of the most stupid and bogus claims about that war was that Gowon went to that war against Biafra to "keep Nigeria one."May i ask, how?

To look back at why Biafra went to defensive war against Nigeria aggression in 1967-1970, will conjure anger and bad feelings...But one of the most stupid and bogus claims about that war was that Gowon went to that war against Biafra to "keep Nigeria one."May i ask, how? Where is the oneness? How can it be, while Gowon was initially planning to pull Nigeria out of Nigerian Federation? Great Britain helped to coin that slogan of "keeping Nigeria one," due to her economic interest. Col. B. Adekunle, in his book, said: "We went to war in the Niger Delta not to defend them, but to get their crude oil." Fortunately, some gullible went with that enduring myth that Gowon went to war to keep Nigeria together, which should be thrown into the dust bin where it belongs because people are no more gullible as they used to be. Gowon is a murderer, who murdered Aguiyi Ironsi, and all his one-time brother officers, and 400,000 Igbos throughout the Northern cities of Nigeria, to become Head of state of a savage nation that will never go to last long because he allowed himself to be used and dumped as a willing tool of Sokoto caliphate and imperialist Great Britain. The result of the whole thing as of today, is hate, murder, kidnapping, and generation on edge. Tell it to our children, both born and those to be born, that Great Britain soil their hands with Igbo blood, because of their selfishness, and greed, due to crude oil deposits in the Niger Delta region of Biafra. As per historical records, Great Britain, as an imperialist, will waste any amount of life to get what they want. Every war is dogged by lies, mixed with well-crafted propaganda in other to cover the trails of evil and the cause of the said war. But one thing is certain, history always waits out the intrigues of war, in the knowledge that the truth no matter the rate of cover-ups, or sweeping it under the rug, or how long it waits, one day the truth will prevail.Today, the lies are now flowing like the dead fish in the river, while the truth is now beginning to breathe the air of life. Gowon, after being used by the Sokoto caliphate and Great Britain, to slaughter up to 4,000,000 people, which as of today, never solved the generational hatred, bitterness, and instability, which Nigeria will never recover since then or in future. The Biafran war was an avoidable war, But Gowon and his allies decided not to avoid it and went in for killing jamboree... History contains an example of a time when the mission of war is accomplished as easily as predicted, without having an illusion. To put it mildly, where is that "Oneness" after the slogan that led to the slaughter of about 4, 000,000 people for the "oneness" that never was, and never will be? Military historians have only recently begun to many fact-checking lies projected as truth during that war period by Gen. Gowon and Great Britain. Biafra war declassified is not only reopening the history of that conflict and its genesis but with a penetrating reconstruction of the hidden events of that war. Events by themselves may not be important, but it is the perception of events that is crucial. Gen. Gowon was the one who declared war on Biafra on 6th July 1967. He did not know that violence can never solve any problem, no matter that the very war was controlled by its political objectives, without careful thought of its implications. No matter the international conservancy involvements, due to crude oil. Biafra withstood them for 33 months... Power and violence are opposites; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course; it ends in powers disappearance. In violence, we forget who we are. It is a fact that violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence. While actions only courses thought, thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious...
