As a white American with only a tiny fraction of African DNA, I can't really explain my fascination with Nigeria and particularly Nigerian history. Maybe it's because I have some friends there and struggle to understand the dynamics of the current political machinations and how they are impacted. Also, as globalization forces countries of the world to try to resolve differences and peacefully coexist, it might be instructive to see how, or if, the hundreds of tribes, cultures and ethnicities of Nigeria try to come to terms with being one country.
Good job. Two things though: The headline is overused. I did history in my o levels and this was the exact title of the story. Please find a way to make it more dramatic, as dramatic as the narrative you have gifted us. Two: The intro suffers the same challenge. It just does not manage to project the seriousness and cataclysmic impact the Aba Women's Riots had on the colonial experiment in Eastern Nigeria. Its almost trifling and playful. Lets give it some more muscle so it draws us to the story. Thank you for this great effort. We expect more. I think you can also ask your readers to suggest topics.
Thank you for your insightful comments and suggestions. I'll review and make some changes. Although, regarding the title, I left it at that so that it's easy to find but I think adding a subtitle might make it a tad better.
Nice concept, great story telling
Thank you.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I love this
