About The Book
Her fate was a twist of legend and prophecy. Her sacrifice was a gift of love so uncommon. Her bravery remains unheard and unseen, for even in the face of death she remained fearless.
She was so loved by her father, adored by her people and eventually by their conquerors who believed she was a goddess. But the legend and the prophecy must be fulfilled for the gods had sealed her fate long before she was born.

Inspired by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TED talk, "The Danger of a single story."

In one of my books, I said, "Take history lessons with a grain of salt because many of them might have been doctored."

Today, I want to challenge our minds on the Bini - Igala war of the 16th Century that led to the death of the legendary Princess Inikpi of Igala Kingdom.



Do you truly agree with history that she was buried alive?

Before you answer, please ponder over these facts.

1. The Binis were bent on teaching the Attah - Igala king a grave lesson. So could they have bombed and conquered Igala lands without bombing and conquering the capital? A place is truly conquered when the capital falls.

2. History told us that the Igala charms and amulets failed. They were powerless and could not stop the Cannons used by the Binis. How did their voodoo suddenly work?

3. Do you think the Bini warriors would have abandoned the Igala lands without conquering Idah, the capital? Could they have defied their Queen's orders to bring down the capital or bring me the ....I am not going to spill that. Remember, she was known as one of the greatest sorcerers at the time?

4. The war was as a result of the Igala's Vikings way of life. Ask yourself, what did the Binis take from the Igala people and their King that made them reconsider their Vikings way of life?
