“History is too important to leave to historians alone. Only Nwobi Obiora would have the brilliant audacity to attempt such an appraisal and synthesis of the Biafran diplomatic approach to the Nigeria civil war politics. Agree or disagree, "Nwobi’s book "Nigeria-Biafra War, OAU and the Politics of Diplomatic Recognition of Biafra 1967 - 1970 is essential reading to understand our times and the future.” “How do we learn from history so that we do not repeat the same mistakes that have led to the downfall of Biafra, Nigeria and Africa? ..."by reading Nwobi's book and applying it to the principles for dealing with the changing world order". Nwobi shows us how history can provide a template to help guide how we might think about the insecurity and clamour for secession confronting Nigeria presently and also what comes next... "Indeed, in Biafra... Africa died". Author Nwobi did an astounding job of giving us an inspiring and thought-provoking experience by looking at the nature, dimension, significance and implications of such diplomatic recognition accorded Biafra during the civil war.
