Ahukanna

Ahukanna is a captivating chronological account of a man who lived through different eras and places in Nigeria. He was born into colonial Nigeria, a day after tragedy struck his family. His life unfolded from a rural community to refugee centers during the Biafra war, and from tense international boundary lines in the North to lecture halls in the South.

The book reaches far beyond biography. It teaches how to live rightly and succeed in difficult and compromising situations, to love beyond ethnic lines, to survive and contribute to a war peacefully and to thrive even in sensitive situations. It also highlights the volume of diligence in mentoring younger generations and demonstrates that one can succeed in Nigeria’s civil war without losing one’s soul.

The book is timely and a must-read for everyone. It reflects the realities of everyday life. If you are Nigerian, when you read, it will mirror who you are – or not. It would also interest you if you once called Biafra home, or if you want to learn from the experience of a detribalized Nigerian.
