Before Ojukwu declared Biafra what was happening in Nigeria?
Before OJUKWU decided to leave Nigeria there are several riots
Between the Igbo Christians And northern Muslims
lists of riots in Nigeria and how many Igbo lives lost
History of riots, pogroms, and massacres against Igbo people in Nigeria is marked by significant loss of life, with the 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom.
1945 Jos Riots (October): Early intertribal rioting between Hausa and Igbo in Jos. While some sources describe it as a "potato market riot" with low deaths,
Yet 634 Igbos were k11ed
other accounts from the time describe widespread targeted killings.
1953 Kano Massacre (May): Triggered by political disagreements regarding independence, riots between Northern Nigerians and Southerners (primarily Igbo/Yoruba) lasted four days. Estimates of deaths range from 200 to over 500
Igbos were k11ed
1966 Anti-Igbo Pogroms
Nigeria declared this and tagged it operation anti Igbo
(May–October): A series of massacres across Northern Nigeria targeting Igbo civilians. It was sparked by the January 1966 coup and the July 1966 countercoup.
Deaths: Estimated between 8,000 and 30,000 during the May-October 1966 period, with September 29, 1966, considered the peak ("Black Thursday").
After all these Ojukwu called the leaders of Nigeria and decided to make things right...
Because most of the death and hatred is not all about government power, it's about religion if you don't know.
The north always says that the infidels cannot rule them.
So, they normally teach against the Christians being their leader during those days
And those illiterate n0rthen Youths always believe in whatever they were told in the mosque...
So for Ojukwu to end all these political arguments and hatred
He decided to hold a meeting with some other Africans, and the meeting was called aburi Accord.
After the peaceful meeting every region accepts that everybody should now go and develop their region, and having only one capital territory,...
Which will help all tribes grow on their own without interference.
From the federal power.
Everybody agreed
Your northern leaders were there; your western leaders were there.
Now they came back to Nigeria and northerners who agreed and signed said no again.
Making Yoruba and Igbos angry.
Awolowo and Ojukwu decided to declare an independent country if the north goes against the agreement.
Still Gowon went and convinced Awolowo, promise him to become the next Nigeria president after him
Now Awolowo as a Yoruba bl00d full of betrayal now turn against OJUKWU and Ojukwu went alone and said Aubri must stand
That's where the word "Aburi must stand " comes from.
After this Ojukwu declared Biafra
Instead of the Nigeria leaders to call meeting again at Aburi
They came with guns and bombs and started k11ing Igbos as usual because it has mastered them to kill
