Elechi Amadi account of the war was more accurate than that of Achebe. Both writers served in the war.

The book is the most disjointed piece of story I've ever read. Another is Half of a Yellow Sun

Its no longer watering Down Igbo politicians, its about watering down Achebe books and other of your people including chimamanda books, you will have a lot to do because the book has been sold all over the world

I bought the book when it came out with great hopes in relation to who authored it. I was disappointed to say the least.

My own woman too learnt about the war from this same book, which one would understand the bias of the writer, she was shocked when I explained the true accounts to her. There's never one side to a story, people need to understand that. I only hate that it's 2026 and certain people still prefer claiming victims when the problem was their own creation.

New York, my village a book by Uwem Akpan gave a fresh perspective on the war as well. It is a good read and worth checking out.

As a legal practitioner, you should find it within you to read for all perspective.. you should evolve above emotions and be willing to sit in the camp of the opposite opinions

You're on point, I had the same feelings but after reading the book I was totally disappointed I thought late Professor Achebe was above unnecessary tribal sentiment.

you are very correct bro. my father told me some of that stories in his own account too as he was in the north then. they printed the coup platters image also on label for bread produced by the igbos there using it to mock the northerners and failed to prosecute the coup platters, they continues to pay their salaries and just kept them under house arrest.

be like bro is now on the same page with me! ... I said it then that the counter-coup is because of the way the igbo flaunt themselves, which bundle up to become a deadly resentment and victim mindset, which together shaped how people then view the first coup... which led to the retaliation of the northeners [Snicker]

I am encouraged by your increasing understanding. I didn't mean that in a negative way, so apologies if it's perceived that way. I remember commenting on certain viewpoints you expressed in some of your previous videos, which you wouldn't have had you known what you now know. I pray that you will increase in knowledge, understanding and wisdom. You will never know a better yesterday. Please continue 🙏🏾
