Okokon Ndem, from Calabar was the second most wanted man by the Nigerian Government after Ojukwu - the Biafran leader.
Okokon Ndem did not fight physically in the war, but his verbal contributions in the war shook the foundation of the Nigerian Government.
Even after the capital of Biafra fell, Okokon Ndem kept reporting fearlessly as though the radio Biafran was still in Enugu.
This made the Federal troops wonder where he was reporting from because they had searched everywhere in Enugu, unknown to them that the Biafra radio they sought to capture was in the back seat of a Land rover Jeep.
Okokon Ndem's fearless broadcasting increased the morale of the Biafran soldiers and instilled fear and uncertainty in the Nigerian troops.
Below are some of his statements;
1.“Biafra has a military that no force in Africa can defeat.”
2. “The entire 2nd Division of the Nigerian Army is dead. Happening now at Abagana.”
3. “We have developed a nuclear warhead (Ogbunigwe) that will wipe out the Nigerian Army.”
4. “Awolowo has assured us that as soon as we secede, the West will follow.”
5. “Nigeria is committing genocide against the Igbo.”
6. “Nigeria has blockaded Biafra to cause mass starvation.”
7.“The Yorubas are complaining that the war is lasting too long. They will soon throw in the towel, leaving only the Northerners to fight Biafra. It will be easier to defeat the Northerners!”
8.“It is the British, Russians, and Egyptians who are helping Nigeria gain the upper hand!”
