•There was a country - Chinua Achebe •Nigeria’s soldiers of fortune - Max Siollun •Nigeria’s military coup culture(1966-1976) - Max Siollun •Formation: The making of Nigeria from jihad to almagamation - Fola Fagbule Start with these and you’ll understand why the north never wants a southerner, be it igbo or yoruba, in power. Understand why the northern policy makers scrapped the teaching of history and understand why gowon was a war criminal who oversaw genocide in a region. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Plomo: You forgot to add how Igbos switched from enthroning North to organizing the first bloody Military coup that killed all Northern leaders and military officers, including Southerners from the West and Niger Delta region except the Igbos. You forgot how Igbos spearheaded the death of regional government in Nigeria, with the likes of Ironsi, Azikiwe and co. Maybe you should tell the OP how Igbos declared war on the Niger Delta for declaring their own republic and how Ojukwu went full force on them killing Adaka Boro's soldiers and even purchased a back door death sentence on Adaka Boro whose saving grace was the counter coup that killed Ironsi in barely six months after he took over. The people of Niger Delta will never forget and I don't think they can forgive the Igbos for that. History is good, it helps you to know where you're coming from and how to handle dicey situations. 2 Likes 1 Share |

My command - Olusegun Obasanjo Emeka - Frederick Forsythe Reminiscences - David Ejoor The man died - Wole Soyinka There was a country - Chinua Achebe For events leading to the war, read The 5 majors (why we struck) - Wale Ademoyega Nzeogwu - Olusegun Obasanjo Modified: Please try every possible means to read Sunset in Biafra by Elechi Amadi. There's a book by the title, The 5 majors, why THEY struck written by a northerner. All the books will give you a better perspective and sentiments of that time. 2 Likes 1 Share |

flokii: Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Everyone is also entitled to seek out knowledge. To plant this very seed of falsehood in their progeny was one of the many reasons teaching history was scrapped. @op, seek out knowledge for yourself. That’s all. 1 Like |

'The Tragedy of Victory' by Alabi-Isama is also very good, detailed, and informative. It's probably the only book on the subject matter with the most pictures from that era and the conflict. 7 Likes 2 Shares

Plomo: Agreed! Those who seek knowledge should find out the truth from several accounts of the war and not one-sided stories of victimization. I'm of the opinion that scrapping history from schools is a sinister move to suppress the truth that most of us were privy to. For the records, the same man Ojukwu declared war on and dehumanized; Adaka Boro led the Federal troops through the creeks (as per Niger Deltan) to clear off biafran forces. It's fair play if you ask me. 1 Like |

That story of government scrapping history from secondary schools is stale in this internet age. We are in the age where almost everything can be gotten from the internet. Many of us here knows about WW1 and 2, the history of america and her civil war, the Roman and Greece empire, the Byzantine empire, Napoleon the great. All these weren't taught in our schools yet we know them.. I know a lot of things about Nigeria history and I wasn't taught in secondary school.. I searched the internet, watched YouTube videos. Nigeria youths should goan read about their history and stop blaming those old men but themselves. The fact you have a useless father is not an excuse to be useless in life.. Read.. Read...
