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

You didn't include Godwin Alabi Isama book "the tragedy of victory" he played a key role with 3rd marine commandos.

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

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.
