The Biafran War

This episode takes you deep into the heart of one of Africa’s most devastating conflicts—the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War. From the roots of ethnic tension and colonial fault lines to the horrors of starvation, genocide, and political betrayal, we uncover the full scope of a war that claimed over two million lives. With historical context, haunting realities, and reflections on the war’s lasting impact on Nigeria and the Igbo people, this episode also explores the role of foreign governments, their impacts and influence. Here, we ask the question: what happens when a nation turns on its own, with colonial shadows and international foreign influence—and how do its people survive the aftermath?
