“In the three years of the war, necessity gave birth to
invention. During those three years of heroic bound, we
leapt across the great chasm that separates knowledge
from know-how. We built rockets, and we designed and
built our own delivery systems. We guided our rockets.
We guided them far, we guided them accurately. For
three years, blockaded without hope of import, we
maintained all our vehicles. The state extracted and
refined petrol, individuals refined petrol in their back
gardens. We built and maintained our airports,
maintained them under heavy bombardment. Despite
the heavy bombardment, we recovered so quickly after
each raid that we were able to maintain the record for
the busiest airport in the continent of Africa. We spoke to
the world through telecommunication system
engineered by local ingenuity; the world heard us and
spoke back to us! We built armoured car tanks. We
modified aircraft from trainer to fighters, from
passenger aircraft to bombers. In the three years of
freedom we had broken the technological barrier. In
three years we became the most civilised, the most
technologically advanced black people on earth.” Gen. Chukwuemeka Ojukwu
