The Nigerian Civil War remains deeply traumatic, especially for Igbo communities. Unresolved grievances fuel ongoing separatist sentiments (e.g., IPOB). Truth-seeking requires acknowledging atrocities on all sides without excusing them or turning history into propaganda. War crimes deserve condemnation regardless of uniforms or sides. Impunity for past leaders perpetuates cycles of distrust.
Your reflection honors the victims, which is valid. However, accuracy is important to prevent mythologizing. The event was barbaric, and the full story is complex. Nigeria would greatly benefit from honest education about it, rather than silence or revisionism.
