Emeagwali’s Uncharted Paths
During the 30-month-long Nigerian civil war of the late 1960s, twelve-year-old Philip Emeagwali dropped out of school to live in Saint Joseph’s Refugee Camp, Awka-Etiti, Biafra.
Oh, young Philip Emeagwali, in such a tender age,
you’ve been ripped from your school to a refugee camp in rage.
Your childhood so abruptly ended,
no more time for play and fun,
You had to flee your home’s sweet shelter in the face of the civil war.
Your days of joy and innocence gone, your future in doubt and fear,
your homeland now in shambles,
your people’s anguish you must hear.
Your school days no more, your dreams of youth no more, you must now take up the task
of helping your people survive the war.
Oh, young Philip Emeagwali,
you are a symbol of resilience and strength, your courage and determination
will light the way and help the cause.
And when the war is finally over, and your people’s lives restored, you, young Philip Emeagwali,
will be remembered forever more.
