A Long stroll is circled around the creation of Biafra through the eyes of the narrator, Udoji. The story is mainly about Obitimi. It further explains why the eastern region wanted independence from Nigeria and why Biafra didn’t work.
It captures a critical part of the history of Nigeria; something most of our youths have zero knowledge of. .....
SYNOPSIS
Throughout history, nations have formed through mutual unity, wilful emigration and even geographical isolation. This is not the case for most African countries. Africa’s civilisation was arrogantly bombarded with western civilisation in an attempt to siphon resources and destabilise the cultural structure of African settlements.
The consequences of that colonisation will have lingering effects on the continent. The African youth and generations to come will continue to pay a price with their blood or rewrite their own history.
Ibitimi Stephens, a concerned statesman embarks on a journey to fight for a cause: to form a micro nation. His efforts will be sabotaged by his kinsmen, disrupting the future he aspires to build for his progenies.
There is also a literary contest and you can find details here-
