Alabi Isama on Nzeogwu's Coup, the Massacre of Igbos in the North and the Feudal Grip on Nigeria

Alabi Isama, author of Tragedy of Victory: On-the-Spot Account of the Nigeria-Biafra War in the Atlantic Theatre, revisits some of the most defining and turbulent moments in Nigeria’s history. In this interview, he reflects on the January 1966 Nzeogwu coup, the mass killings of Igbos in the North following the July 1966 counter-coup, and other pivotal events that shaped the nation’s trajectory. Isama lays the blame for many of Nigeria’s enduring failures on entrenched feudal structures in the North, which he believes have hindered national progress.
