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!!

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

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.

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

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.
