Abstract

Biafra and the tragedy it represents for humankind is compounded by the official code of silence that Nigeria’s military decreed in the 1970s to ensure that the Biafra–Nigeria war is not taught in schools in Nigeria. Scholars and intellectuals are obligated to subvert that code of silence in order to educate humanity on the tragedy and the atrocities that led to it. Chinua Achebe’s There Was a Country: A Personal History of Biafra (Penguin, 2012) and his transition March 21 2013 provided one such opportunity for scholars and concerned intellectuals alike.
