Capt Osakwe was so trusted by Gen Ojujwu that he entrusted his life to him. At the last hours of Biafra, Ojukwu had to make that historical departure from Biafra.

Ojukwu's failure to exit would have been a fatal error of sure death to him. Many other Biafran pilots were ready to do that last flight for the General. But Ojukwu trusted none but Capt Osakwe to ferry him to safety.

A wrong saboteur would have just diverted the plane elsewhere, and the rest is history. Ojukwu trusted Capt Osakwe who delivered him to safety.

Osakwe was from Umuikem village in Onitsha. Any side talk that Onitsha people were not supportive of Biafra is unsubstantiated. Even the chief justice of Biafra, Justice Louis Mbanefo was from Onitsha too. Mbanefo drafted Biafran surrender instrument, and he led Biafra delegates to surrender to Gen Gowon in 1970, Jan 15th.

..History lesson!!

Hmmmm....Why bring my Dad's picture here Mister. Anyway, it is well.

Igbo amaka

Surrender.

You mean that helped ojukwu to flee the war front?
To cut and run! As the American would say.

You mean the runaway coward that murdered his own people ?

Gowon

who cares

Which way Nigeria? This ethnicity won't help us especially between the west, south and east. We need unity at this time to confront the machinery of the remaining part

A great man to his people

Nope!!! The man who stood and fought for the right things and upheld the military doctrine of chain of command. Unlike his comrades who ran into warships and scampered to Port Novo only to snick back and took orders from their subordinates. What a shame.

I just learnt something new. Sarrki thanks for this piece of history.

Interesting, the good thing is Ojukwu made peace with Nigeria before he died. It was sad a war had to be fought.

Just say the pilot that helped ojukwu to cowardly flee after deceiving his tribesmen and women to embark on a futile mission thereby bringing death and untold hardship upon themselves.

Him work

I didn't totally liked Lt. Col. Ojukwu's intention to decleared the sovereign state of Biafra from the beginning but today, histroy has proven Ojukwu to be absolutely right.He like Fela, all saw the today's Nigeria from a distance.Rest on heros.

Coward amaka

What is your intention for creating this post sarrki


Go and look for the soldier who ferried Mr integrity to prison in 1985 and live Ojukwu alone

THE FEAR FEAR OJUKWU

I AGREED THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE GENIOUS IN THIS NIGERIA If Not, How Come This :
ORJI = 4 letters UZOR= 4 letters KALU= 4 letters
4+4+4=12-
He was governor 12 years ago
His case lasted for 12 years
He was sentenced 12 years in prison
The judgement came on the 12th month of the year in 2019 (2+0+1+9)= 12.
Nigerians, We are too much.

Na him aid ojukwu to japa....

While they called Yoruba cowards.. Ojukwu also dress like woman just to disguise.

Cowardice reigns in their genes since 18BC
