I never felt the same way meeting anybody as I did when I met Ojukwu, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (Ikemba 1 of Igboland), the courageous military leader of the Igbos during the Nigerian-Biafran civil war (1967-1970).
Ten years ago when I turned 50, I felt that life had come to a climax. I wrote about it, and I threw an all-night dancing party to celebrate and remember.
