Ojukwu: Exile, Diplomacy And Survival

Book Reviewer: Cosmas Omegoh  

Even in death, fingers keep pursuing General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the leader of the defunct Biafra Republic. And that is largely because of the pivotal role he played during the 30-month Nigeria/Biafra war (1967- 1970). 

Even more than five decades after the war ended and a decade after Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the Ezeigbo Gburugburu's death, anything and everything said about him is adjudged emotive and emotional by many, including those who have no cause to be so. That is why this factory-fresh book, Ojukwu: Exile, Diplomacy And Survival, written by Kanayo Esinulo, the General’s aide in exile is sure to be of immense interest.

 Fresh and Hot!

American book experts always tell us that Fall (Autumn) is usually the time when blockbusters hit the shelves...  

Veteran journalist, eminent writer and public relations expert, Kanayo Esinulo, has been under tremendous pressure to give the world this book.

In Biafra, he worked closely with General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu at the Biafra State House, and stayed with him as one of his closest aides in exile in the Cote d’Ivoire. He saw everything at very close quarters, including all the details of “the years in exile and the deft moves that led to Gen Ojukwu’s return to Nigeria in 1982.”

I can’t wait to devour this long-awaited book which will be presented to the public in November … and, then, bare my mind in a review...

Everybody needs to read this book...
