Are you from Iperu

Whitehorse: I pre ordered the book here in the UK from Amazon UK and it arrived my house 2 days ago. Got two copies, giving one away to an inlaw.

This morning, i scanned page 156 that talked about the "Ogbunigwe" (interpreted "Mass Killer" and how it put the fear of the devil in Nigerian Soldiers. Said Nigerian soldiers actually started putting cattle ahead of them to take the explosions.

I do not know about biafran side regarding their impressions over the fear nigerian troops have of ogbunigwe but I do know that nigerian troops sent cattle ahead before they match in the frontlines where biafran troops have planted mines.

I'm sure it will make an interesting read.

Got this from BBC.

God bless Biafra!

God bless Remoland!

God damn Nigger-area!

rafhell: Renowned Nigerian author Chinua Achebe has published his long-awaited memoir, There Was a Country, about the brutal three-year Biafran war.

He acted as roving cultural ambassador for Biafra when the south-eastern area tried to split from Nigeria in 1967.

For more than 40 years he has remained silent about his war experiences.

One of Africa's best known authors, Mr Achebe's debut 1958 novel Things Fall Apart has sold more than 10 million copies.

It has been translated into more than 50 languages and focuses on the traditions of Igbo society and the clash between Western and traditional values.

'Birth pangs'
The prizing-winning 81-year-old author and academic has written more than 20 works - some fiercely critical of politicians and a failure of leadership in Nigeria.


Chinua Achebe lives in the US following a car accident in 1990
But he has never addressed the atrocities of the Biafran war, in which he was caught up with his young family - except occasionally in his poetry.

More than one million people died during the conflict in fighting and from famine - photographs of starving children from Biafra became synonymous in the media with the conflict.

"There Was a Country is a distillation of vivid observation and considered research and reflection," Mr Achebe's UK publisher Allen Lane says.

"It relates Nigeria's birth pangs in the context of Achebe's own development as a man and a writer, and examines the role of the artist in times of war."

Mr Achebe has lived in the US since he suffered a car accident in 1990, which left him paralysed and in a wheelchair.

The memoir is published in the UK on Thursday and is due to be released in Nigeria shortly and in the US on 11 October, AFP news agency reports.

Whitehorse: OK folks, I have the book open right now.
Here comes snippets...
Page 228 - The question of Genocide

My summary:

30 years before Rwanda, over two million people died in the Nigerian Biafra war as a result of 'starvation as a legitimate weapon of war'
Igbo's had charged that the Nigerians had a design to exterminate Igbo's from the face of the earth, based on a holy jihad proclaimed by mainly Islamic extremists in the Nigerian army.
international Criminal Court investigation report: 'hatred of Biafrans (mainly Igbos) and a wish to exterminate them was a foremost motivational factor'.

More to come folks....
