PODCAST: Discussing the Cultural Legacies of the Biafra War on the AHN Podcast

Published on

I had the honor of being the inaugural guest on the brand-new African Heritage Nexus Podcast (AHN). It was a privilege to join the host, Seun Adeniyi, for the podcast's very first episode, titled "Uncovering the Cultural Legacies of the Biafra War." 


During the episode, we dove deep into my "Legacies of Biafra Heritage Project". This research explores the vital, and often subtle, ways that Igbo communities remember and preserve the cultural legacies of the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970). We often discuss the war in terms of its political, military, and geopolitical impact. However, my work seeks to understand how heritage and memory are transmitted culturally - through practices, stories, and community actions that continue to shape identity today.

This conversation was a wonderful opportunity to share my passion for this subject and highlight the importance of community-centered heritage and memory. I am deeply thankful to Seun and the entire AHN team for providing a platform for this critical discussion.
