This will be followed by a book conversation drawn from Dr. Aneke’s work, a chronological reconstruction of the Nigerian Civil War that provides deeper reflection on the memories, lived experiences, and enduring questions of Biafra.

In preparation for the publication of my second novel, “Woman at a Crossroads,” I encourage you to order and read a copy of my debut novel, “Loss is an Aftertaste of Memories” from @Rovingheights, @bookpeddlerng, @cfmemories, @nikeartgallery @AmazonKindle. Please retweet.

@Seal_60team Yes, indeed. He was born on January, 27, 1921. We apologize for the mistake. Daalụ.

@cfmemories Btw Joe Nez was born in 1921 not 1939
