The Nigerian Civil War took place from 1967-1970. For a recent historical event that inflicted trauma onto many Nigerians, this story still appears stifled compared to other modern historical events. The total number of Nigerian-Igbo people killed in this conflict is still unknown but it is estimated to be in the millions and it's important that we recognise this. We'll talk about how this war came to be, Britain's involvement in this conflict and the longer reaching consequences from the civil war for Nigeria and the wider continent today.
