Note on Chief Anthony #Enahoro and his memoir.
The man was one of the key political figures pushing for the Independence. His memoir covers time up to couple years after it was gained, to the point when he was caught in political squabbles which involved dodgy courts, escapes, death sentences and extraditions.
However, as much as all these paint him heroic, he also was a minister of Federal Govt. of #Nigeria during genocidal #Biafra war saying "starvation is a legitimate [weapon] of war".
Solemn dedication:
In memory of my father,
Mazị Maurice Ọnwụkwe Okoro,
a man killed during the war,
1968, in Alụlụ.
What it must have been, to have this inscription in a printed book back in the 70s?
There was a question I was wondering since, what was perception of it in South-East at the time?
Being so soon after #Biafra war, did it help to heal the pain, or salted the wound instead? Or both? Or neither?
