I've only read a couple of these books. About 10 or so and trust me they're very compelling.

Read these books and I guarantee your views would change on both divides.
The pro-Biafrans would understand that war is not an option after reading these, and the pro-one Nigerian groups would see reasons why the Biafra struggle is a valid one.

Maybe only when we start reading and learning our histories that we would start being more tolerant to our varying opinions

In my opinion the worst mistake the Nigerian academic system ever made was removing history from the curriculum.
There's an old saying that "he who does not where he is coming from would never know where he is going "

I think that lack of proper history has robbed us of the true reflection of what really transpired and so each divide tells their kids only the part of the story where it favors them. Almost every country had had their moments of civil wars but one thing they never did was try to conceal the true stories.

An old saying "when we're talking we are not fighting, but its only when we stop talking that suspicion and mistrust sets in". That's actually when we start fighting.

Maybe we'd have been more tolerant of one another if we knew our history and the things we did wrong in the past.

I hope we do have a good read.

Readers are learners they say


Have you read any of these beautifully written accounts ?

Half of a yellow sun is fiction, it's not history

History never forget

OP

Thank you for these recommendations.

I strongly believe that the only way to plan for the future is by learning from the past.

Do you have some of these books in PDF format?

If yes, can you please share?

Thank you boss.
