I thought he was a Colonel. Hard legendary fighter. Very brave but ruthless. Even regular soldiers dreaded him.

Rest in peace Ikemba of Asaba

The legend is gone

Great Respect to you sir
Respect.

RIP to a hero worth celebrating

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.

Achuzie was a show man? The person who was beckoned on to go on difficult mission? The person who prevented murtala's troops from crossing the Niger and on their second attempt the Uchendu led abagana ambush occurred?

You should be the one to take history lessons.
