Why we got involved:
The narrative surrounding the war often neglects the regular people whose lives were uprooted and relegated to collateral damage. Umu Biafra seeks to immortalize their stories so that we may never forget the kinsmen who endured and survived a genocidal campaign.
In sharing stories from the mouths of those who lived through it, we hope to confront the gruesome truth of what really happened while also educating people.

Stubborn short man who wanted it all faster without patient

Betrayal of his people. I have no love for such individual.

[@fymillion8967]

Wow! Thank you for this enlightening history. It's a pity his life was cut short.

[@diiyke8149]

Started greatly, ended up a traitor.

[@arinzeikeliani961]

You lie. That boy wasn't a traitor

[@ugobholyugobholy492]

Foolish you

[@babanismail866]

With all gift from God he decided to couple it with greed and ended up disgracing himself.

Very educative video!

Saboteur.

[@ejionyemchikwado9262]

Ojukwu should have imprisoned them instead of executing them

[@worried9755]

What a life, so much packed tightly inside a short earth sojourn. the British knew of the balewa coup, they decided to do in the young idealistic officers of southern extractions

[@lilykaye2378]

He was a very handsome man but short one.

[@josephtupac550]

Foolish man rest in pieces

[@chrisaofficial1]

Why

[@evang.i.lukeabara276]

can see how Ojukwu was mad at him. Now I realize that the coup was individual something and Igbo's coup as people tagged. Just watch how Emmanuel was pleading with Ojukwu and trying to convince him but Ojukwu said never...

What a great man, such a shame that he was taken too soon. Cat
