New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War
New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War: No Victor, No Vanquished analyzes the continued impact of the Nigeria-Biafra war on the Igbo, the failure of the reconstruction and reconciliation effort in the post-war period, and the politics of exclusion of the memory of the war in public discourse in Nigeria. Furthermore, New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War explores the resilience of the Igbo people and the different strategies they have employed to preserve the history and memory of Biafra. The contributors argue that the war had important consequences for the socio-political developments in the post-war period, ushering in two differing ideologies: a paternalistic ideology of “co-option” of the Igbo by the Nigerian state, under the false premise of ‘No Victor, No Vanquished,” and the Igbo commitment to self-preservation on the other.
Women and the Nigeria-Biafra War
This first comprehensive study of the Nigeria-Biafra War (1967-1970) through the lens of gender explores the valiant and gallant ways women carried out old and new responsibilities in wartime and immediate postwar Nigeria.

Women’s experiences are highlighted through critical analyses of oral interviews, memoirs, life histories, fashion and material culture, international legal conventions, music, as well as governmental and non-gover...
Bow You Must
Its a factual text with a tinge of fictional flair, a penetrable literature punctuated with humor and sarcasm, an inspiring work designed to encourage and lift the spirit of those who feel dejected, an outpouring of genuine sentiments truly deserving of attention, a dependable companion for the family, the student, the youth, and especially the woman and the man, and an inspiration to the efforts of international organizations and nongovernmental organizations [NGOs]. I have gone through the manuscript, and it made good reading. I believe this will be another knockout. Good luck (Professor Ethel-Dorris Umeh, Enugu State University of Technology, ESUT).
Waves of Destiny
Waves of Destiny is an exposition of a tradition of cruelty and mans inhumanity to man. But it also showcases industry and resilience, kindness and love, peace and unity, motherhood, consideration; and focus. What a juxtaposition, you would say!

The Forest Dames
The Forest Dames is a novel based on war experiences that must be told in order to free the mind, disseminate information and prick the conscience of war agitators. It is a true life story fictionaised to reduce impact.

This soon exploded into a full blown civil war and from that time onwards, nothing was ever the same again.
