gidgiddy:Requim Biafra is an excellent read but it looks at the war from those on the Biafran side. To have a more balanced view of the conflict it's best also reads works done by those on the Federal side. |

Based on my late father's Nigerian Civil war records, this man Achuzie (Hannibal) struck fear into the hearts of soldiers and their commanders on the Nigerian side with his uncanny ability to turn the tide of war in favour of the Biafran side even in very difficult or hopeless situations. He was to the Biafran side what Adekunle (Black Scorpion) was to the Nigerians side (at a time) and to think that a practicing Engineer (then based in P.H.) and without known military record could transform to become a commander of commanders in an impromptu war (for him) is a feat on its own! He was always posted to battle fronts deemed to be the toughest or to rescue a bad situation and his arrival at each war front was said to always elicit shouts of joy and celebrations by Biafran soldiers?! To most at the war front (and even beyond), I read that the fear of Hannibal (the god of war) was the beginning of wisdom. These records has information also on a Biafran commander, a Major by rank (even while on the Nigerian Army), who was mocked by the Nigerian side (after the war started and he became a Biafran Major) as "Major Retreat". This mock name was based on his poor battle command abilities that saw the 'retreat' command becoming his most well known command for his troops! 4 Likes 1 Share |

My father bought this book around 1982. It was published in 1980. According to Alexander Madiebo in the book, Achuzie(which they wrote as Achuzia) was just an ordinary citizen turned militia and then, he quickly rose up the ranks to Colonel in no time. His methods were unconventional but they proved effective in many situations. At least, he and Effiong did not run away like Okpara, Ojukwu and Madiebo� 1 Like

lordtim001: Achuzie is a legend, and better than ANY Nigerian commander retired or current. Anyway, who told you Ojukwu or Madiebo “ran away”. You people just open your mouth without analyzing the bigger picture. Too bad for una 3 Likes 1 Share |

TheKingdom:But you admit that he ran to Abidjan and left Effiong the job of surrendering to the Nigerian troops. And just days before he ran away, he called for a muster parade and declared that he would fight to death He did not see any bigger picture. The puny guy was just trying to save his own skin. He did not want peace neither did he want to surrender. |

lordtim001: Maybe you yourself cant see the bigger picture that was obvious then but it’s okay because some things in the past (and even current) are not black and white. Ojukwu NEVER wanted to fight any war. Instead he opted to go against Nzeogwu and as a result was appointed military governor. THEN, sooner than later, Ironsi was kidnapped and Gowon took over....doing as he pleased with the aim of disorganizing the EAST. But guess what, Ojukwu went to meet with the Secret Society man Gowon in Ghana, and upon return to the Nigger Area, Gowon reneged with help from Britain.... So if you think Ojukwu and his Army chief should have remained so they could be killed, think again, as he being abroad probably kept what was left of his people alive, even though they (Biafrans) had every right to opt out of the then and current shi.thole 2 Likes 1 Share |
