If you are an Igbo person, here are my recommendations for you in 2025. Online, it is increasingly becoming difficult for me to read comments on Igbo-related affairs. This is because most young people online lack basic history about our Igboness. They know absolutely nothing about being Igbo. Hence, I am compelled to suggest that you make time this year to read these books in order.
1) “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Oluadah Equiano” written by Olaudah Equiano and published in 1789
2) Among The Ibos of Nigeria written by GT Basden and published in 1912
3) The African Trilogy ( a combination of Things Fall Apart, Arrow of God and No longer at Ease) written by Chinua Achebe and published in 1958.
All those books were written before the Nigerian and Biafran civil war. Reading them will help you know more about Ndi Igbo and our uniqueness as a nation. After these three, you can then go for books about the War to help understand you have a comprehensive picture of what being Igbo in Nigeria and world over means.
