Great Man...
Unfortunately, all the accolades and encomiums from men can never put a persons name in the book of Life.
I hope he personally received JESUS as Saviour. If not all those heroic deeds ends here.
The worst thing that can happen to any man is to miss heaven.No one goes to Heaven by mistake but you could go to hell by mistake.
Jesus remains The Way The Truth and The (Eternal) Life.
Religion doesn't save Jesus Does

Where was He when Cownu was doing his initial GraGra

Rest in peace Ikemba Ahaba Ibokwe

RIP great man

Are you not tired of adultery, fornication, stealing, gossip,strive, envy,jealousy lust of the mind,evil thought, etc? repent now! for Jesus says in Rev 22:12, I am coming very soon! to pay every one according he has done. if you did well, you will be rewarded, but if you spent all your life committing sin,you will be judged and thrown into the lake of fire, that's not the will of God over you, for he Love's you so much, John 3:16

Turantula:
shameless unity begger

lol you can say that again!

The great warlord,may your soul rest in peace,the spirit of Biafra will never depart from your people,till eternity.

Where justice is denied; where equality is an illusion; where poverty is enforced and where a viable component of the society [Igbos] is made to feel that society [Nigerian government] is an organized conspiracy to oppress, deny, rob and denigrate them, neither persons nor property will be safe. Such a nation would NEVER grow and prosper as long as this viable component is subjugated and marginalized by the government. RIP Mr. Achuzia!

You did not fought in vain. You fought against injustice meted out to your people. You fought for the freedom of your people. You fought for our dear motherland BIAFRA! I love you! Igbo love you!! Biafrans love you!!!

nagoma:


Recognizing him by the Federal Government? And “for sustaining the war for the Biafran troops “.Please read what you wrote again and tell me if it makes sense.

Sir this man is a war veteran and as such he should be recognized Afteral Ojukwu himself was given a state burial.

Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord and let thy perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace, Amen.

Rest on Ikemba, might of the people.

Achuzia, forever in our hearts.

We love you, Ikemba Ababa.

FortifiedCity:
Biafra, a glorious nation that will rise like the sun;
a city built on the hill that will attract kings and queens from the ends of the earth!

All hail Biafra!!!

Yinmu big time.

He was a loyal officer to Ojukwu if not he would have died like some of the majors who carried out the first coup during the Civil War. Ask who killed NZEOGU.

kitaatita:
This is the real Biafra; with dignity and intellect

Yes n not like many of these days who use social media to exhibit their warlord especially on nairaland as their online battle zone.

Must you lie to get your points across?

Riversides2003:
Personally I fell this guy I greater than Late Ikemba Ojukwu, I read about his exploits during the war. He was actually the brain behind sustaining the war for the Biafra troops,so sad he wasn’t given the actual recognition he deserves by the federal government. He died a HERO.

Definitely you were told a wrong story.

The Igbo land has lost a man actually molded in the true image of ancestral Igbo people. He was one tough, unrelenting, never-say –die and wise man that stood for his people against all odds. May your soul rest in perfect peace, Col. Joe “Air Raid” Achuzia.

Must you lie to get your points across?

so u love biafra

Where can read about his wartime exploits?

You have to search for his book called "Requiem Biafra". After reading that book, you will wonder if Achuzie was high because the man was not afraid of anything.

There was even one situation where just him and another Biafran officer called Chude Sokei faced 30 Nigeran Soldiers in a shootout and both men managed to push the 30 Nigerian Soldiers back and chased them away. Achuzie was something else.

He was a great hero of Biafra and we shall miss him dearly

Please guys I join nairaland yesterday to raise 25k for my house rent which is due by April end. Please if you can assist with any amount, I will be grateful. Please send donations to 6171828068....Fidelity bank savings account. Thanks and God bless.

You can also read Alexander Madiebo's book on the Nigerian Briafran war. Colonel Joe Achuzie was a portharcourt based engineer before the war. He was given a field commission as a major to help train the militia. Later promoted to colonel thanks to his many exploits, Achuzie was Biafra's most gifted and ruggeded land operation specialist at the time. He repulsed murtala Mohammed's troops crossing Onitsha from Asaba three times. He planned and executed the abagana ambush with the popular biafran bomb device (aka ogbunigwe) where a massive trail of explosions that destroyed over 150 Nigerian army vehicles killing thousands of Nigerian soldiers and scores of biafran soldiers in the process. His role in the Portharcourt, Aba, Owerri, Oguta and Mbaise axis of the war is equally note worthy. Colonel Ojukwu found in Achuzie an especially useful field commander and a source of good propaganda to the people of the ever decreasing enclave of Biafra as the war progressed being a good source of inspiration. Ojukwu's critics argue that he was guilty of playing to the gallery with achuzie's exploits and despite his many successes, news about achuzie's victories were often a distraction to Army headquarters. Achuzie's brigades (having commanded several) were always having the highest casualties, the price of his successes were often too high. It was reported once that two biafran divisions having been under unrelentless aerial and naval bombardment at Portharcourt had called on Achuzie for permission to withdraw out of the town and take up defensive positions at Asa less than 25km from Portharcourt pending on when fresh arms and reinforcements arrive. Achuzie refused and went further to direct the reporting officer to also make sure civilians (Portharcourt residents) do not leave the city. Achuzie understood the implications of losing Portharcourt in April of 1968. It would mean the biafrans losing not just oil facilities but the only international airport and access to the outside world since the fall of Calabar and Enugu the previous year. The distraught major pleaded with Achuzie that he had lost half of his men to which Achuzie replied that he should fight till the bitter end till reinforcements arrive. Achuzie was to come himself and take command. On three occasions achuzie's troops recaptured the airport and the police barracks and three times he lost them not out of lack of will to fight but to the superior fire power of the largest army in black africa. Five of my uncles (all deceased) fought in the unfortunate war, four came back alive, one of them served directly under Achuzie at the Portharcourt sector, he was just twenty two years old at the time. He told me that achuzie had a turtle charm that kept him from falling to harm. Achuzie shot deserters on sight, so nobody dared run even when the battle was thick. Achuzie rewarded bravery and ingenuity by men under him without any formalities. My late uncle told me that deep in the forest two biafran soldiers under his command conspired to assassinate achuzie (aka air raid). The bullets shot at Achuzie did not as much as scratch his skin, achuzie single handedly demolized the duo and brought them back to camp. When asked why they did what they did, one of them (a sergeant) said that they thought that by killing achuzie the Nigerian guns would be focused on other targets because they were fed up with their high casualties. The other said that he would rather die at the hands of their commander achuzie having been caught than to die of starvation or enemy bullets. That day my uncle recalled, taught him a good lesson. Achuzie surprised everybody by displaying a rare courage at mercy and a vision to be just. He reasoned that anybody who had the guts to pull a trigger at him is a huge asset to he brigade and the army, he had the two men promoted and assigned platoon commands to them. Think of the effect on the men's morale and loyalty. Achuzie is an icon indeed. May his soul rest in peace.

Enlightening summary, thanks. I'll be on the lookout for the book too.
