"The Spirit of Biafra" presents a revolutionary vision for the Igbo nation, challenging the narrative of secession and proposing an empowering Biafran identity as a catalyst for development within Nigeria. This fresh perspective on Igbo history and potential equally presents practical strategies for leveraging the renowned Igbo apprenticeship system, a blueprint for creating a pan-Igbo Multinational Corporation, and insights on fostering political cooperation among Igbo leaders. These strategies are not just theoretical, but practical and achievable, offering a new path forward for Igbos and policymakers grappling with ethnic tensions or fascinated by cultural identity's role in economic change. The book is a guide to a transformative future for a viable and prosperous Igbo nation, seeking to persuade readers to embrace the true spirit of Biafra - not as a separate state but as a dynamic force for progress under the present realities. It inspires secessionists to rethink the possibilities for a powerful Igbo nation existing within Nigeria as the rising sun brightens itself and others. Prof. Uwem Essia has written extensively on conflict resolution, insurgencies, and counter-insurgencies. He is the author of several other books including Security and Peace Economics, Alchemy of Transforming Insurgencies in the Intelligentsia Age, and South Africa's Youth Crises.
