        I think @BBCWorld and others should look into the #British archives for more facts on the #Genocide coined war that cost the lives of over 1million men, women & children of #Biafra @Reuters @Newsweek @CNN @igbohistory @HISTORY @radiobiafralive @VOANews https://twitter.com/MsNemah/status/973950381595250688?s=19 …

        My parents usually mentioned in stories, like "before or "after" the war when narrating stories. i kind of picked interest. My late dad was a participant but never mentioned in depth. i wish i had probed further before his demise.

        Why is the sustained #ecological disaster that followed this #fossilfuelwar in #Nigerdelta not more explicitly discussed on the @BBCWorld ... ? During @Commonwealth18 summit, #sustainabledevelopment & #Pollutioncontrol across the @commonwealth must feature. #newgreenpolitics

        That’s how the Nigerian Military Government of Yakubu Gowon killed over 1 million Igbo Soldiers and starved over 2 million Igbo children to death. Up till now the Igbos are still suffering on the dictatorial leadership of Tyrant Muhammadu Buhari.

        Some times @UN_PGA sees the solution to every country that has problem but they keep on asking for solution in a place where their is no solution. Eg: in Nigeria, the problem there is Ethnic problem & easiest way to resolve it is to divide the country through a #Referendum

        Lol. It’s not about the war or it’s effects but it’s about making Africans who pass down their history orally forget their past and not pass it down. If u don’t know ur past then u don’t know where u r I.e u can’t hv a future.
