Book excerpt: In 1966, several waves of rioting in northern Nigeria culminated in the brutal massacre of thousands of easterners by their northern Nigerian counterparts. Sensing that their safety could no longer be guaranteed, the easterners fled to the eastern region and established an independent nation called Biafra. Refusing to accept her sovereignty, Nigeria waged a thirty-month war against Biafra, targeting air assaults at civilian locations, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of children, women, and the elderly. Nigeria used land and sea blockade to prevent relief food from reaching hungry masses in Biafra and thousands of children died from a form of malnutrition called kwashiorkor. At the end of it all in 1970, two million people had perished.

Download or read book A History of the Republic of Biafra written by Samuel Fury Childs Daly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Biafra lasted for less than three years, but the war over its secession would contort Nigeria for decades to come. Samuel Fury Childs Daly examines the history of the Nigerian Civil War and its aftermath from an uncommon vantage point – the courtroom. Wartime Biafra was glutted with firearms, wracked by famine, and administered by a government that buckled under the weight of the conflict. In these dangerous conditions, many people survived by engaging in fraud, extortion, and armed violence. When the fighting ended in 1970, these survival tactics endured, even though Biafra itself disappeared from the map. Based on research using an original archive of legal records and oral histories, Daly catalogues how people navigated conditions of extreme hardship on the war front, and shows how the conditions of the Nigerian Civil War paved the way for the country's long experience of crime that was to follow.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study elaborates the wealth of indigenous technological innovation expedited by the Biafran war. It outlines the gains from the destruction, the Biafrans' contribution to technological advance, and the impact of these advances on the Biafrans themselves. It describes the so-called mechanical military innovations which include British gun cotton, the Biafran bush refinery, and some 'civilian welfare orientated innovations'. The final chapter examines the Federal Government's attitude to indigenous technology which, this author argues, is broadly one of non-acceptance, and rooted in 'the pre-independence colonial programming of Great Britain' in Nigeria.

Download or read book After the Storm written by Alexia Ihebereme and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 27, 1967, a thirty-month-old nation was formed out of the giant of Africa-Nigeria. This nation Biafra was made up of the eastern part of Nigeria, called the Ibos. The creation of the redemption nation caused a civil war in Nigeria that would affect the lives of the Ibos and especially that of a nine year old boySirlex. Alexia Iheberemes After the Storm: The Evils of a Civil War identity is a non-fiction novel that tells a tale of the aftermath of war through the eyes of Sirlex, who connects the history of Ibos to the Hebrew tribe. It is a story about freedom, hatred, corruption, jealousy, suffering and survival. It is a story about a tribe whose cultural heritage is threatened by civilization and a people who would do anything to secure its heritage. The end of the Nigerian civil war on January 12, 1970 did not bring the peace expected at the end of the war; rather, the Ibos faced the consequences of losing the war as life for the Ibos became a case of the survival of the fittest. How long will the identities of the Ibos continue to be misplaced by their brothers in Nigeria? How long will lives suffer the evils thrust on them by civil wars?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Die vorliegende Studie ist eine sozialgeschichtliche Bestandsaufnahme des nigerianischen Bürgerkriegs (""Biafra-Krieg"", 1967- 70) und seiner Nachkriegszeit. Die Studie verfolgt den Ansatz einer ""Geschichte von unten"", die die Erfahrungen und Einschätzungen solcher Menschen aufzeichnet und darstellt, die (etwa im Gegensatz zu Politikern und Generälen) üblicherweise keine Memoiren über die Kriegszeit veröffentlichen. Thematisiert werden das Alltagsleben unter Kriegsbedingungen und die Schicksale von Flüchtlingen und Frauen; die Erfahrungen mit militärischer Gewalt und die Wahrnehmung der ""großen Politik"" durch die ""einfachen Leute""; die oft traumatische Erfahrung des Kriegsendes und die Probleme des Wiederaufbaus nach 1970. Neben den Erfahrungen der Kriegs- und Nachkriegszeit selbst analysiert die vorliegende Studie die Art und Weise, wie der Krieg heute wahrgenommen und interpretiert wird. Damit leistet sie auch einen Beitrag zum Verständnis heutiger nigerianischer Poltitik, vor allem aus Sicht der vormals vom Bürgerkrieg betroffenen Regionen. This is a social history study of the Nigerian Civil War (`Biafran War', 1967 - 70) and post-war reconstruction after 1970, written as a `history from below'. It records experiences and perceptions of people from within the former war-affected area who - unlike a number of famous politicians and generals - normally do not publish autobiographies. Topics covered are: everyday life under war conditions and the experiences of vulnerable groups, like refugees and women; the experience of military violence and the perception of politics by `ordinary' people; the experience of the end of the war, traumatic in many cases; and the problems people faced in the reconstruction process after 1970. The study also looks at the ways the war experience is viewed and interpreted in South-Eastern Nigeria today. Thereby, it also contributes to the understanding of current politics in Nigeria, particularly from the perspective of the former war-affected area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War: No Victor, No Vanquished analyzes the continued impact of the Nigeria-Biafra war on the Igbo, the failure of the reconstruction and reconciliation effort in the post-war period, and the politics of exclusion of the memory of the war in public discourse in Nigeria. Furthermore, New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War explores the resilience of the Igbo people and the different strategies they have employed to preserve the history and memory of Biafra. The contributors argue that the war had important consequences for the socio-political developments in the post-war period, ushering in two differing ideologies: a paternalistic ideology of “co-option” of the Igbo by the Nigerian state, under the false premise of ‘No Victor, No Vanquished,” and the Igbo commitment to self-preservation on the other.
