thesicilian: 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,Colonel Nsudo, Christopher Okigbo, Lieutenant-Colonel Willy Archibong (AKA Prince of darkness) etc. Can't mention all of them, the point here is regardless of the outcome Igbos should always stay informed about what happened during the war.... NEVER forget! You should read the book : No place to hide (crises and conflicts inside Biafra) by Bernard Odogwu. That is probably the most accurate account of what went on during the civil war. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Ifeanyi4491: "THE LEGACY OF HEROES IS THE MEMORY OF A GREAT NAME AND THE INHERITANCE OF A GREAT EXAMPLE” — BENJAMIN DISRAELI Heroes like Col. Joe Achuzie shouldn’t just be remembered; they should be used as an example to inspire us all. Thank you sir, for your selfless service to your people the Igbo/Biafrans. A grateful people, a grateful land are forever indebted to you. Eternal rest grant unto you, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon you. May your soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. 3 Likes |

A road, a school( University) 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. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

mehn!!!!! that Generation of igbos were simply Audacious , imagine destroying the whole of the second Division of the Nigerian Army and sending Murtala Mohammed to exile by a troupe led by Major Uchendu, only the coming Generations of igbos will truly treasure the exploits of Hannibal and co, These men were hard with metal hearts how on earth can any army in the world fight a coalition of Britain , Soviet union (not russia) Egypt , East Germany, Sudan, Chad , Cameroon, Niger Republic etc and still live to tell the Story ,Today all former Nigerian Heads of states shudder when they hear of biafra and most are nursing life threathening injuries till date. God give igbos Audacious men , RIP our hero Joe Achuzia 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Skepticus: Not everyone is interested in politics, but Achuzia was very much an activist about Igbo unity and progress. In 1963, when the Mid-West Region was created, Achuzia and some other Igbos started a movement so that all the Mid-West Igbos could join their kith and kin in the Eastern Region. In addition to this, Achuzia was once Secrerary General of Ohaneze 12 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerian Military as it is today and in the past cannot dare to even dream to fight a coalition of britain, Soviet union , Egypt, East Germany (of hitler) , Niger , Chad , cameroon and Sudan . But a generation of igbos with just 17 rilfes only, dared the whole world and inflicted an incurable an unquantifiable damage on this coalition. We need to celebrate these men in everyway possible, some us can raise our heads today and speak without intimidation becuase of the exploits of these great men . God bless and and accept the soul of Achizia for sacrifing his comfort abroad coming back to Nigeria at a time the igbo nation were in their most vulnerable state and fighting with almost barehands to defend the defenceless of his people. The day igbos will hear of the sacrifice of Achuzia that is the day the whole igbo land will declare a public holiday and mourn him. Achuzia was abroad in1966 when the war was about to start but chose to fly back to Biafra , flying back to fight for the common interest of igbos 13 Likes 1 Share |

To even think Achuzia was never a trained soldier but a trained engineer who offered to help at the war front as a trained Biafran soldier remains a mystery 11 Likes 1 Share |

BiafraIShere:abagana was the ogbunigwe in action. Achuzias greatest exploit was the Onitsha siege. Nigerian soldiers dreaded him so bad, they self inflicted injuries on themselves when word got to them, they'd face a battalion he commanded. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

kettykings: Delta is a multiethinic state, with many Ukwuani and Ika people suffering from self hate (Igbophobia) and by extension, Biafra phobia. I don't expect Delta to do anything for him. The onus is on SE governors to name an important monument after him. Anambra State University had been renamed Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Imo state University is now Evans Enwerem University, it's remaining Abia and Enugu state universities. Ebonyi FUNAI was recently renamed after Ekwueme, so it will be unfair to expect EBSU to be renamed this soon. I think ABSU or ESUT should be renamed after Achuzia. That's the right thing to do, if only we have thoughtful leaders. Men who made personal sacrifices for the good of a people must be rewarded to encourage other members of the populace to imbibe such traits. 11 Likes 3 Shares |
