Biafra was Eldorado

Author is a Biafran war survivor who has been motivated to open a survivors' blog to motivate others and help stop further wars. Biafra was Eldorado turned into hell. As a teenage girl, I lived in that hell and as an adult I documented my experience in a book - "The Forest Dames." You'll see people suffering and smiling in the book. Soldiers from both sides committed atrocities.  See how the book starts.

Prologue

LAMENTATION!!

They stripped us and savoured our nakedness

Went in and out of our women

Like needlework

They defecated in the backyard on our sacred places

Urinated over our kitchen furnace

Like inebriated bulldogs

There are no more secrets

There is no more privacy

Virgin places are denuded

The glory is gone

For they had the gun

We had only our pride

To ride

JUBILATION!!

Yesterday I could not touch them

Today they have become my play thing.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

AFFIRMATION!!

Not for much longer… Not anymore!!!

 A true life experience of the Biafran war comes to your door step - "The Forest Dames"

 

A Nigeria-Biafran civil war survivor lives to tell her story of the elasticity of human suffering. She survived it all and prayed God to keep her alive to record what she went through. God answered her prayer and she wrote 'The Forest Dames', a book about four girls hidden away in a "safe haven" - the evil forest, where they were hearing the roars of wild animals but fortunately did not see any. This was because the soldiers wanted the girls by all means but two mothers vowed that their daughters would never belong to the soldiers. But did they? Find out. "The Forest Dames" now selling at Silverbird Galleria bookshop, Abuja. Quintessence Falomo Shopping Complex, Awolowo Road Ikoyi, Lagos. Debonair Bookstores, Sabo Yaba Lagos.
