The creation of the aredemption nationa caused a civil war in Nigeria that would affect the lives of the Ibos and especially that of a nine year old boyaSiralex.

It is a story about freedom, hatred, corruption, jealousy, suffering and survival. It is a story about a tribe whose cultural heritage is threatened by civilization and a people who would do anything to secure its heritage. The end of the Nigerian civil war on January 12, 1970 did not bring the peace expected at the end of the war; rather, the Ibos faced the consequences of losing the war as life for the Ibos became a case of the survival of the fittest. How long will the identities of the Ibos continue to be misplaced by their brothers in Nigeria? How long will lives suffer the evils thrust on them by civil wars?
