BIAFRA FEDERATION

Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
After independence those countries that emerged in the new Africa, post scramble, lost the identities of their indigenous homelands some of which were great nations. This includes the Biafra Kingdom. They now have nothing to show for their previous exalted existence. There exists, today, a much desired principle of retracing the natural boundaries of indigenous African nations destroyed and distorted by balkanization resulting from the scramble for Africa by the Europeans, and following the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885. The original boundaries of the Biafra homeland can, and is to be, retrieved. When that is done, what do we do with it? The great answer lies in the Biafra Federation into which the Biafra Kingdom is to be retrieved, a great Federation of champion nations which, in every sense, is the center of the world.

Surviving Biafra
Author: S. Elizabeth BirdPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 1849049580
Category : Biography
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
In 1961, Rosina 'Rose' Martin married John Umelo, a young Nigerian she met on a London Tube station platform, eventually moving to Nigeria with him and their children. As Rose taught Classics in Enugu, they found themselves caught up in Nigeria's Civil War, which followed the 1967 secession of Eastern Nigeria--now named Biafra. The family fled to John's ancestral village, then moved from place to place as the war closed in. When it ended in 1970, up to 2 million had died, most from starvation. Rose ('worse off than some, better off than many') had kept notes, capturing the reality of living in Biafra--from excitement in the beginning to despair towards the end. Immediately after the war, Rose turned her notes into a narrative that described the ingenious ways Biafrans made do, still hoping for victory while their territory shrank and children starved by the thousand. Now anthropologist S. Elizabeth Bird contextualizes Rose's story, providing background on the progress of the war and international reaction to it. Edited and annotated, Rose's vivid account of life as a Biafran 'Nigerwife' offers a fresh, new look at hope and survival through a brutal war.
