Very well detailed but not entirely complete. When Umuahia fell to the Nigerian troops in 1968, Ojukwu didn't leave Biafra immediately; rather, the HQ of Biafra was relocated to Owerri. From there, the war continued through 1969 until Owerri fell to Nigerian troops. Then, it was recaptured by Biafran troops and again fell to Nigerian soldiers by December 1969. That's when Ojukwu knew it is over and left. Then the surrender happened in January 1970.
Visiting War Meseums in UK and studyijg documents on this war, I keep feeling thanknEnglsnd and France fought s proxy war in Nigeria soil. England committed so much evil in this war. . I just hope that Nigeria becomes a better country
The Abagana sector fight was not included in this story and this makes the story incomplete also Ojukwu did not chose to leave for Ivory Coast ,he was forced by his colleagues to enter the plane to Ivory Coast.
The complete story of how Ojukwu left Biafra is in another video which will be published here in the Nigeria- Biafra War series. He was not forced to leave. He left because as a well trained soldier he saw the danger that was encircling his command area. It would have been foolhardy to wait. He left in a cargo plane that had only 3 seats for passengers. He sat in one of the seats, Dr. Michael Okpara sat in the other seat while N. U. Akpan from present day Akwa Ibom sat on the other seat. The plane was filled to capacity but everyone in the plane either stood or sat on the floor. We will publish the story soon. Keep watching. Thanks for being there with us.
Your effort is greatly appreciated 👍. History is very important for the benefit of those unborn and critical for the present generation so that errors of the past will not be repeated.
Are you listening to this bigot? He hasn't got half the information of the events of the civil war/genocide. When he mentioned 'Awomama', I realized it's an enemy of Igbos boasting of the war they instigated. Bye
Several mercenaries (pilots inclusive) had been hired for the war. Nigerian pilots also fought in the war. Biafra also had pilots (former airmen of the Nigerian Airforce and mercenaries). Caritas also employed pilots to fly food to Biafra. It was indeed a challenging moment for Nigeria and Biafra.
This narative is mostly based on Biafra side . I mean 2:1 in favour of Biafra. The narrator made reference to 2 Biafran source while making reference to 1 Nigerian side.
Great content. But you need to seek help with your scripts. To be fatally wounded means to die from the wounds. Ibrahim Babangida is still alive. Good job still.
But is Nigeria not pushing for another war with the way they are doing now I'm not a Biafran but the way they are treating them now call for concern another point is that it was Benjamin adekule whose under as the commander of the third marine commando that portharcout and other places fell before Obasanjo was deployed to take over
So touching. Well done on your efforts reminding us history
All your Nigerian history content is good for the future generations and prosperity
Thank you for this, well detailed how do we support your Chanel
Biafra shall rise again......

I appreciate your efforts I am actually from Bonny Nigeria and I would love it if you could make a video about the Bonny kingdom 😊
I surely will. That's a great historical place.
We must Continue, we Biafrans still move on Regardless. The sun must Rise

How can we support this channel?
You didn't include Godwin Alabi Isama book "the tragedy of victory" he played a key role with 3rd marine commandos.
I will include his perspectives in future videos. 100 videos can be generated from that war. Many thanks for your message.
It was a needless war, Biafra's defeat was certain.
If your people were killed in the North what would you have done?
@@ndukaanyim6466I guess he would have thanked the killers 🤦♂️
We only lost due to the british and American support of the Nigerians bro
Ojukwu’s move was the bravest to make given the circumstances at that time, I doubt you can ever wrap your head around that…..
The bravery of Ojukwu needs to be studied. It shall never be well with Yakubu Gowon
Fatally wounded means he died of his wounds but IBB is still alive
The movement by banjo was wrong . Mis adventure .
Barely after Independence, this is quite pathetic 🤔🤔🇳🇬🇳🇬🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
The french pilots flew the Nigerian fighter jets and the english supplies them with maximum fire power.....but ozoemena

We haven't learnt anything from this war

How is Nigeria treating them they started the whole thing
The war was between British not Nigeria and the igbos
If not for Obasanjo they would have wiped out Igbo race to 1%
