Life in most towns and villages in Igboland and all of the former Eastern Region shortly after the civil war in 1970 was understandably a tough one. It was hellish and brutish, but not short and cruel in the full definition of the state of nature by Thomas Hobbes. This was not unexpected given the devastations that followed the end of hostilities aimed at quelling the short-lived Republic of Biafra. As a result, immediately after the declaration of the “No Victor, No Vanguished” signalling the end of the war and a return to a “One Nigeria”, many war weary Easterners embarked on the inevitable return journeys to other parts of the country where they had earlier fled for dear lives on the onset of the hostilities.
