Adepoju: 

I have a question for you. Did you witness the civil war? 

Lets start from there to tackle this. You have been pontificating here over the civil war. Can you let us in on your Basis for that by answering this simple question above.

A fantadyic essay from Kadiri.

Thanks for posting it.

The essay needs careful formatting  to make it easier to read, particularly since it is an exhaustive historical  historical  analysis.

He sums up my disappointment with the Adichie essay-

... Adichie...has to acquire the knowledge of Nigerian civil war either by reading books or listening to those who witnessed it. Unfortunately it would appear she has listened mostly to people like Achebe who remembers history differently from what actually happened.'

She made an effort at analysis but the bulk of her essay is more hearsay than research.
