thank you dare for this eloquent insightful write up, i feel i have just has a condensed history lesson especially when you described the 60’s decade as experienced in nigeria. i was not born then but i distinctively remember that this part of our history is never ever taught in Nigerian secondary schools except for the bullet ridden care of tafawa balewa in the museum in Lagos most of the people in my generation have no idea how the civil war started except from hear say over a bottle or two.

After reading this I will go search for history books i can read about the 60’s in nigeria
