The great iroko has finally fallen. The mighty Hannibal of Biafra.


The erstwhile terror to the hausa/fulani and Yoruba military junta. A nightmare to the combined forces of the Egyptian and English demonic mercenaries

The great nwafor from asaba, delta state that never stopped professing his igboness and the need for the harmonization of the SS/SE igbos even till his final moments.

Rest in peace the great Hannibal of Biafra.

Biafra mourns you

remedick:
don't mind all these guys shouting biafra everywhere. I am sure many of them didn't even knew this man until now.

I think a thread should be created to list men who fought in that war and the roles they actively played.

engrchykae:
please respect yourself.
Banjo and Emmanuel Ifeajuna are traitors.
Purposely delaying the Ore movement for the federal government to buy time and mobilize the 2nd division and fighting back.
Both i.diots were communicating with lagos

thesicilian:
If he's such a hero how come most of us have never heard of him? Don't get me wrong, my point is, we should learn to celebrate our heroes when they are still alive (which actually benefits them more) than when they are dead, which is of no use to them.

Ifeanyi4491:
The great Achuzie

Dozie32:



even me ooo I swear... he told that he was the only person remaining between his warlords.. ojukwu and one akwa ibom man.

pazienza:
A road, a school or any public edifice should be named after Achuzia in Igboland, for his contribution in preserving the Igbo race through selfless acts of heroics in our darkest moment in history.

phreakabit:


If you are Igbo, you should be somewhat ashamed about not knowing who he was. This man rose from being an untrained militia man, to being one of Benjamin Adekunle's fiercest rival. Read up about other brave HEROS like Gen. Philip Effiong, Colonel Patrick Amadi, Christopher Okigbo, Lieutenant-Colonel Willy Archibong (AKA Prince of darkness) etc. Can't mention all of them, the point here is regardless of what happened and the outcome Igbos should always stay informed about what really happened.... NEVER forget. You should read the book : NO PLACE TO HIDE (CRISES AND CONFLICTS INSIDE BIAFRA). That is probably the most accurate account of what went on.

Mbediogu:


Sorry Sir. But Achuzie does not belong to that group. He was in a class of his own. An accomplished electrical engineer, a successful business man before the war and a gallant soldier during the war. At the end of the war he became an igbo nationalist and leader. He never indulged in contract hunts or politics but stood firmly by word and deed to what he believed to be true. I am happy he did not falter or compromise till the very end. The igbo nation will forever miss you. Adieu Dike na agha!

rabzy:


ifeajuna was an enigma who dissapointed almost everyone who trusted him, banjo was a socialist who remained true to his convictions and those values were at variance to ojukwus ideas.

Skepticus:


Good

How come he wasn't very active in Ndi Igbo politics after the war?

He seems like a great guy and a better alternative to the clowns and jobbers Ala Igbo parade as leaders in national politics

justtoodark:


dont try to comment the darkside.....


kiiiiiikikikikikiki....

writeprof:


sir, the one who writes the history largely determines who is a hero or villain.
At the same time, my eastern brothers do not really like having heroes, one thing I always use to quarrel with them for.
Compare Adekunle from Ekiti whom Federal Uni, Oye-Ekiti has been renamed after, my western brothers never stopped seeing him as a hero even why he was alive and they celebrated him as such in death.

Skepticus:
I'm glad that these old trouble makers are dying off.

It's Buhari, OBJ and IBB next!!!

KahlDrogo:
I am a flat head brother. My only objective in life is to attach myself to the South South whether Afonjas like it or not.

May chukwu alewa dawadawa continue to give us the wisdom never to let go our dreams of forceful attachment. Iseeeeee!

Sharom to all my fellow wawa Jews.

BiafraIShere:
SMH at you, the two groups of people that won't know the great Hannibal are little kids and those that don't/can't read! This man was arguably the most gallant soldier on the Biafran side during the war. The greatest single massacre inflicted on the Nigerian soldiers was led by the Hannibal himself, and that was the Abagana ambush when with much lesser men and ammunition, he ambushed a full battalion of Nigerian soldiers armed to the teeth!! What was left of the thousands of Nigerian soldiers were their charred remains and long columns of completely burnt out tanks, armoured cars, vans etc! Google Abagana massacre and be informed, you can thanks @@ me later. If you read the comments above, then you will realize that you belong to the minority that don't know Col. Joe Achuzie. Reading his exploits when I was small used to fill me with awe.

kettykings:


Bro he deserves more i think these men deserve something big , i pray the Governors of the East and Delta will shun party politics and name a state university after him. These men were simply phenomenal, i keep wondering if they were Americans , Greeks or english how they would have ben honoured in their hime countries
