		Ironsi appointed Ojukwu as military leader in the heavily Igbo populated Eastern Region of Nigeria.

		Ojukwu may be playing politics (and obviously, he is); he may be grandstanding (candidly, I think so), but there is a method to his "madness" and argument that is clearly Nigerian.
		Ojukwu is willing to guarantee the safety of the SSS boss if he chooses to come to his house in Enugu, but what he will not accept is what he calls a "spurious invitation" and insults from "minions".
		Ojukwu is being invited by the same organisation at a time when it is being accused of helping the Obasanjo government to establish a civilian dictatorship.

		Ojukwu, at his level, is a glow of honesty, enlightenment and progress in the Nigerian polity.
		Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu remains as sharp of mind and intellect as he was thirty-two years ago, even better.

		Ojukwu's KLM Flight was said to have left before the president's intervention forcing him to abandon the journey.
		The seizure of Ojukwu's passport was least expected from the SSS who recently declared their invitation to him for an interview a mistake.

		Emeka Odumegwu-Ojuwku had hardly settled into his role, had not even defined his political and developmental agenda when the events of July 1966 opened up what might easily be his most defining moments.
		Ojukwu was tried as a juvenile in the courts in Lagos for his participation, and two pictures essay that moment: when he lay sleeping at the docks, and when his father, Sir Louis, carries him still sleepy, on his shoulder at the end of proceedings.

		Ojukwu had even turned down offers to attend an SMC meeting on board a British (whom Ojukwu, and Igbos in general did not entirely trust) naval ship, and at Benin, but was finally convinced to attend in the neutral territory of Aburi in Ghana.
		Ojukwu for his part, was still stung by the terrible massacres of his Igbo kinsmen in northern Nigeria the previous year and was in no mood to embrace his former colleagues.
		Ojukwu’s warning was of course not heeded and his prediction that junior officers would in future overthrow their superior officers proved to be correct.

	Ojukwu and Igbo Leadership
		Ojukwu and the other Igbo leaders stampeded into the Constitutional Conference ostensibly to "enshrine" rotational presidency, and the devolution of power to regional units in the new constitution.
		I had a feeling that Ojukwu left that forum dismayed by the quality of his listeners, that is, not knowing that it was the hero-worshippers in their traditional shamelessness who deliberately searched out mostly the incoherent, and inarticulate to ask questions.
		Ojukwu should have therefore been prepared to die with Biafra as a tribute to the hundreds of thousands of men who died obeying his orders, an atonement for the pains and sorrow his decisions and choices cost his people, and above all, as an example to future generations of Igbo leaders.

		Up until that point, Emeka was an individual to watch and emulate as a man who was out to fight for justice for his people who were evidently seen as being victimized and persecuted by the power brokers in the old North.
		Ojukwu gave the impression he was leaving Biafra to recoup and regroup and to start a Government in exile.
		Ojukwu was the exact opposite of a man like Saddam Hussein of Iraq who tried to mobilize the limitless resources and determination of his people to rebuild Baghdad and Iraq after the Gulf War without outside help.

		Chukwuemeka Ojukwu is much remembered for the imagination he brought to the leadership of young Biafra in a difficult war period.
		Ojukwu the celebrity graces the front pages of our papers and magazines pushing up copy sales; the heroic Ojukwu resides permanently in the hearts of all Igbo people and for that matter all Nigerians who realised that in 1967 and even now, Igbos have got a raw deal from the Nigerian state.

		As he himself once noted, sometimes statements were prefixed with "Ojukwu has said...." So, Vanguard decided to nudge him to say more that might provoke another round of discussion, and perhaps provide further enlightenment, particularly his role in the civil war.
		On the whole, perhaps, the most significant thing from this exchange is that Ojukwu was able to open fresh vistas in the struggles of the past that shaped Nigeria and one of its most controversial leaders.
		It was easy for many people to say, you Ojukwu, would say that after all, you are an Igbo man. The mere fact that when he took over, the Nigerian army remained and he went round and spoke to so many people, it is possible he could have done more.

		It happened that when little Bianca was to be christened after her birth close to four decades ago, Chief Ojukwu, then a bosom friend of Onoh's, was said to have played the godfather at the occasion in line with Christian tradition.
		To rub that in, Ojukwu, as a delegate to the 1994 Constitutional Confab, organised an elaborate 'church wedding' in 1995 in Abuja.
		Maybe, the ideology of marriage, that is. When, for instance, Ojukwu decided to adopt the fanciful title of "Eze Ndigbo" (King of the Igbo) in 1996, Onoh was one of those who publicly rained abuses on him.

		As I read that the reason for that was because Gen. Ojukwu did not trust them, and perhaps was scared of them, since some of them were senior to him, I began to lose much of the respect I had for Ojukwu.
		But instead of respectfully accepting the incontestable and dignified crown of the kingmaker that God had made him in Igboland, Chief Ojukwu decided out of arrogance that here was a golden opportunity to settle scores with Zik, to show him and the world, once and for all that he was the God-chosen leader of Ndigbo.
