The Untold Story That Links Nigeria’s Past to Its Present Crisis

This powerful memorial traces the tragic events of 1966 and their devastating echoes through Okoye, Ifanyi, Warri, Enugu, Maiduguri, Zaria, Kaduna, and beyond. Written by a Biafran War refugee who became a human rights advocate, this is the testimony Nigeria has long needed to hear.

Why this book matters now:

• “A moral challenge to narrow nationalism” – confronts the historical wounds still bleeding today
• Connects the dots: Shows how ignoring 1966’s massacres led to recurring tragedies across Nigeria
• Eyewitness testimony meets rigorous analysis – from a lawyer, writer, and procurement consultant who lived through the horror
• “Nigerians have been sheltered from these horrors” – this book lifts the veil of silence

Powerful Endorsements:

“A little book with a mighty message… It links the various tragedies that afflict us today” —Movement for the Survival of Ijaw Ethnic Nationality (MOSIEND)

“The danger is that truth will not be delivered and so no proper lessons learnt once the horror is over” —Colin Legum, The Observer, London (British journalist in Nigeria, 1966)

“I recommend the book!” —Aliyu Attah, Southern Nigeria Solidarity Movement

“Peace is not the absence of justice but the presence of justice.” —Rev. Jesse Jackson

This memorial monument to the innocent victims demands we remember, learn, and build a just Nigeria.
