The anonymity of social media allows stupid and ignorant people to be rude. Other people's experiences differ from yours and I am sure this woman is old enough to be your mum or grandma, but you're here throwing insults because her story differs from your own.
They just have to go their own way and avoid all this moving forward, we have absolutely nothing in common with this people, we as biafrans are not perfect but will deal with our issues on our own, people needs to stop behaving as if the British that forcefully joined us all are God and therefore cannot be separated.
@ unfortunately that mindset you are having is not going to move the nation forward, if I will be honest with you Nigeria is here to stay embrace it and make your own contribution to make it better fixating on separation is waste of your time
@@fataiadegbenro984 We shall see. I hope we will meet here again when Biafra is actualized. Who wants to be in the same countries with pathological liars?
@ and who are the pathological liar if I might ask? The East have been telling their own stories about the war and no one claimed they were wrong but when others narrated their own stories suddenly they are lier or don’t have the right to do so Do you truly believe the northerners in the eastern states at that time were spared or not slaughtered by the easterners during the war especially hearing what the northerners did to their people in the north? Just be honest with yourself for a moment
Listening to this woman, I can say she seems honest. I also heard some stories about how we retaliated the attacks and killed Northerns too. It’s just that we lost more casualties because we had more numbers easterners in the north than north had in the East. Note: it wasn’t only Ndi Igbo that was killed in the North, both ibibios, Ijaws and most eastern ethnicities. That’s why I laugh whenever I see this SS tribes fighting us today. The same treatment an Igbo man gets from northerners is the same treatment they will get.
I cryd😂...... When I was born This woman no go kill me. 57:04😅 . She was definitely told wht to say: and why is the man interpreting when she can speak well...... This woman I like her Vibe and humor,but her story get K-leg I swear.
That was a very sad experience, but the north started the killing first. But I pray for a peaceful separation in Jesus name, Amen. There's no need for us to kill each other.let it be a peaceful separation.
The guy who uploaded this video, if your intention is to bring all sides of the story of the atrocities that occurred during the Civil War, should make effort to block some rude and offensive people who don't have the calmness to hear other people's stories. Her story is personal and it doesn't matter what lies you have been fed. If you don't have the calmness to listen to other people's stories and empathize with them, then don't be angry when other people dismiss your stories. Some stupid kids come here to heap insults on a woman old enough to be their mum or grandmum. It doesn't matter what side of the story you have, other people also have their own stories of victimhood. Perhaps it's the reason Reno Omokri attacks some of these people and the lies they spread all the time by bringing up facts to counter their lies. Acknowledge other people's stories of victimhood if you want to have a better understanding of the tragedy and if your intention is to try to establish peace and harmonious existence.
Hi Mukhtar, if you have looked through my channel, you will see that I'have posted tons of videos with different perspectives of the civil war from both the Biafran and Nigerian sides; and believe it or not I have actually deleted the more caustic comments from the channel.However, I cannot and will not be held responsible for any dissenting comments from any quarters, whether viewers choose to believe Haijay's accounts of events or not is not my job to determine or regulate. History has a way of rubbing people the wrong way; but a discerning mind will watch to understand, learn and make more informed choices as a Nigerian.
this is to proof that there are two sides to a story, atrocities was committed on both sides unfortunately and i think we should find a space to heel and forgive ourselves
The failed mission of this revisionist trash is to obfuscate the atrocities and, waves of pogroms, genocide against Ibos by predictable people from a predictable mission.
@@adde-m7k yeah but at the same time we must go our separate ways because water and oil doesn't mix, marriage is not by force, why does the North feel like their destiny is tied to biafrans igbos, each time we talk about our freedom from Nigeria they begins to panic, we are not one and will never ever be one
The video is extracted from a reconciliation panel set up in 2001 by Obasanjo to hear and resolve issues in Nigerian history between 1960 and 1999, The military years. This particular video is from a petition by Ohaneze Ndigbo and this woman here talks about the sufferings of Arewa people in Old Eastern Region during the tense pre-war days of 1967.
Could it have been possible to invite eye witnesses from Ozu Abam to corroborate this woman's story. Human's are not eminently equipped to accurately recollect events 54 years after they had happened!
if a random 86 year old Papa Emeka was to hold an interview and recount his struggles in Kano during the counter coup of July 1966, would you discredit him? or that only applies to other victims? Captain Ben Gbulie told stories of the January 15 coup in 2018 or so giving a near accurate description yet no-one argued the legitimacy of his tales, yet here you are discrediting this woman.
1966 Ojukwu was in Kano commanding Kano brigade .so where did Ojukwu then announce for all Hausas to leave the SE...the 1966 coup did not start the Biafra war...Ojukwu declared Biafra when he moved to Enugu in 1967 not 1966. She was correct in saying that Ojukwu asked the Hausas to move back to the north as he cannot guarantee the safety as igbos were talling about retaliating the killings of igbos in the north..and prior to that Ojukwu also had moved the hausa in Enugu into the Army Barrack to protect them..what she narrated about the train being stopped along Imo River was qlso a retaliatory effect of train from Kano and Kaduna with igbos beinf stopped at Kafanchan and slaughtered and the dead bodies brought to Enugu.
Alot of unspoken atrocities happened on both sides of the divide during the civil war, so to write anyone's experience off as folklore is rather insensitive. These stories are here for us to learn from our collective past mistakes, heal and forge a way forward so that atrocities like these never repeat themselves again.
She said she watched? Lies..how many hausa were even in the eastern region as of 1967...before the war even broke out every tribe has gone back to their region..which hausa man will have the liver to remain in a region that have had their people slaughtered in the north in thousands with the knowledge he or she will be the target of the igbos..there was no igbo man left in the north at the advent of the war..those on their way home were captured and slaughtered and this one js here saying she saw hausa being thrown into the imo river.. lol
@@collinsokafor8444 How did you come up with this theory that no Hausa man was in the East? There is a lot of good literature out about the war from both camps, you should read more and educate yourself about the real nature of the Nigerian - Biafran war sir
@@collinsokafor8444 you cant prove this. Certainly there were Arewa people in the Eastern Region same as there were Easterners in the North. Just because some people have decided to keep shut on their struggles, it doesnt mean such struggles are non-existent. Just watch and learn.
I was repulsed by her defensive, jester-like attitude. And sometimes unnecessary combative responses. I’ll admit she got me earlier when she shed a tear earlier about her losing her 3 yr old child. However, you really have to listen to the end to see why she was combative, sometimes laughing, all while recalling a tragic event where her son was taken and she was in grave fear of being part of an ethnic massacre. I am curious to know she knew about the numerous episodes of slaughter of Igbos by the Arewa in the north. Including the barbaric dumping of dead bodies of the Igbos in train coaches just like the one she was in, who were fleeing just like her. It makes no sense why she and the Gambo guy(her relative) keep laughing and having an unserious attitude throughout the testimony. Lastly, why would an ordinary housewife brag to the attorney and the entire court that she has court experience 😂😂 She was never a defendant except in her own head.😂 where her defense of a concocted story outwardly shows. 😂
Every body are claiming victims, let everyone go there way, Nigeria is not one nation

You don't know history. At the time of "araba" Ojukwu was the governor of the Eastern region. He was made governor by Ironsi.
