Some Excerpt:

Q: SO YOU JOINED THE BIAFRAN LIKE SOME OF THE MID-WEST IGBO?

A: Not correct, there were Mid-Western Igbo who fought for the Federal side like General Cyril Iweze and General Alabi Isama and countless lower and other ranks. As I told you I came from a different background and training.
I returned to lead and contribute to the formation of Black Africa's biggest Navy. Being Igbo I was targeted and without any fairness, court martialled by the Navy I love so much.
When the war broke out most the senior Igbo officers were killed. Ojukwu who new my antecedents made me Commander of the BIAFRAN Navy. Gowon from the Federal side wanted me back to Nigeria. I decided to form a neutral MID-WEST Navy.
History will write it that it was me, Commander O.Z. Chiazor, who because of my position, denied the BIAFRANS victory over Nigeria.

Q: HOW DO YOU MEAN?

A: The war was decided by the Frigate NNS Nigeria. Without NNS Nigeria,Biafra would have been able to ship in enough Arsenal's to checkmate the Federal Forces.
Without the Frigate NNS Nigeria, Biafra could have busted the Federal blockade of Port Hacourt, the oil producing areas and the sea routes to that entity.
In 1967, the Frigate, NNS Nigeria was innocently birthing off the coast of Warri. I was in command of the Naval Unit in ambush when some BIAFRAN stragglers pushing to bomb the ship.
Actually their Recce leader had returned and reported that he had touched the tail of the ship.
In that situation they were not to proceed untill I gave the orders. My friend Admiral Soroh was the Captain of NNS Nigeria, and I had to make a hasty decision.
I ordered the officer to return to base. NNS Nigeria survived and later was to give hell to the BIAFRANS and eventually led to the effective cordoning off of the Bight of Biafra and coast operations in the Rivers and the Atlantic region of the war.
