What makes you think so? Am pro Biafra and not only have I read the book, I own it together with "Because am involved " and "The Nigerian revolution and the Biafran war" by Alexander Madiebo....

YMODULUS DOESN'T KNOW THAT PRO-BIAFRANS HAVE ALL THE FACTS THAT MANY PEOPLE IN NIGERIA DON'T HAVE. ONE DAY I WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF MY FAMILY LIBRARY AND POST THE BIAFRA HISTORY BOOKS ONE AFTER THE OTHER. BIAFRANS ARE READERS.

afta dey will say youths are not willing to read hard copy books... Brother am very much serious. I need it because i really dont have much knowledge about history and its important i get updated abt things like this cuz knowledge dey say is power. I believe your friend has even read it several times. Its a very good book and most especially one cant find soft copy of this in the internet... So please, i would like to buy it. Thanks

If you are on Lagos go to CMS you will find it there. Bought the book twice at CMS.

95% of people that fight online for the biafra cause have 10% knowledge of what transpired during the Biafran war. Also many pro-biafran war supporters pick Chinua Achebe side of the story on the Biafran war in the book 'there was a country' neglecting all other account and labeling them as fake.

Meanwhile Chinua's story was one-sided and biased. Chimanda Adichie is an example of the blind followers.

Do you believe Ademoyega was impartial when he wrote the book? Who were these many pro-Biafran war supporters that pick Chinua Achebe's story? I wonder what a dumbass soldier who spent most of the war time in jail knew about the war. It appears Nigerians get deluded every day.

Ademoyega can only know about the coup, not the war.

The carnage that followed the coup was entirely due to weakness and lack of clear realistic political objectives and discipline on the part of the military regime which inherited power.

The January coup was sufficiently successful for that regime to have rectified whatever was done wrongly and still retain power,discipline and respect.

However it is totally wrong,baseless and preposterous to base the killings of igbos up north by calling the coup "igbo coup".

The hate is real.

95% of the people who fight online for the cause of Biafra do not necessarily need to know what transpired. They already know it is their God given right to choose to be, or not be Nigerians. I know it's going to be hard for someone like you to believe that Lord Lugard hasn't the last say about 'Nigeria' but trust me, it is us indigenous West African people who Lugard met when he came that will decide who what or we want to be after he left. By the way, he left in 1919!

I don't. I have seen some sites charging 2500 per copy, a cost I don't need at the moment. If you're still searching for "Why We Struck" by Ademoyega, this is your guy. 0803 739 6884

I think Chinua Achebe did not publish the manuscript by Ifeajuna.
