At the end of the Biafran-Nigerian civil war in 1970, the Biafran Leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, went on exile in Ivory Coast for 12 years.

Ojukwu arrived in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, aboard a Fokker Friendship Air Gabon plane from Libreville, in January 1970.

The Biafran Leader was accompanied by some of his close relatives, select officials of the Biafran High Command and some of his close aides.

After safe arrival in Ivory Coast, some of the aides and associates that travelled with the Biafran Leader had to disperse to other other countries, leaving some others to remain with Ojukwu.

One of his close aides who remained by the leader’s side during this twelve-year exile, is his Private Secretary, Kanayo Esinulo.

This veteran journalist and confidant of the Biafran Leader, Kanayo Osinulo, has just published a memoir he wrote about that historic period, entitled Ojukwu: Exile, Diplomacy and Survival .

Given Mazi Osinulo’s closeness to the Biafran Leader during the Biafran-Nigerian civil war and immediately after the period, his book, Ojukwu: Exile, Diplomacy and Survival , is undoubtedly one of the most authentic records of the real personality of the late Biafran Leader.

Elder Osinulo, as his Private Secretary, is today one of most living authentic witnesses of the hidden roles and actions of General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu during the war and his exile years.

This his book on General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu is therefore a great treasure highly recommended to all.
