Zik, Ndi-Igbo and Their Southern Neighbours: Charting a New Political Direction for Nigeria

This book is about the thrust of political development in Nigeria through the final phase of British colonial rule to present day. Its theme is the political convergence of three social forces, namely the thrust of Nigerian nationalism, the persistence of ethnic or cultural particularism, and the crystallization of emergent class interests. It exposes the shenanigans that compromised Nigeria's political wellbeing and advancement, while pointing the way forward. The author highlights the impact of the January 15, 1966 coup d'etat and how its leader, Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was subsequently murdered in the Nsukka war-front through a brotherly conspiracy of the meanest order. The roles played by Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the Nigeria-Biafra war are examined from new perspectives. The supposed motives in using hunger as an instrument of war; and the de-populating of Igboland and committing genocide against the Igbo are succinctly re-assessed. About the Author Uche
