THE BOOK EVERYONE’S ABOUT TO BE TALKING ABOUT.
Fifty years. One institution. One book bold enough to tell the whole story.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo turns 50 this year — and for the first time, somebody has finally sat down and written the real story. Not the polished version. Not the press-release version. The whole thing: the memory, the politics, the wins, the wounds, and the fight for relevance in a country that keeps testing a people’s patience.
It’s called Ohanaeze at 50: The Burden of Memory, The Politics of Relevance — and on Tuesday, 22nd September, 10:00 AM, at the Dover Hotel, Ikeja, it goes public for the very first time. Live. In the room. With the author himself.
If you already know the story — this is where you find out how much of it you actually knew. Names you’ve heard whispered about get put on the record. Questions people have been afraid to ask out loud finally get an honest answer.
If you’re hearing about this for the first time — welcome to one of the most important rooms in Lagos this month. You don’t need a history degree to walk in. You just need to be curious about how fifty years of one people’s story got written down — and why it matters to you, whoever you are, wherever you’re from.
If you’re still on the fence — here’s the pitch in one line: this is the kind of morning people will say they were at. The kind you tell your children about. The kind that doesn’t repeat itself.
🎤 What to expect
Royalty in the room. Statesmen in the room. A sitting governor expected. A book reviewer whose own life reads like a novel. And a room full of people — young, old, Igbo, not-Igbo, certain, curious — all there for the same reason: to witness a story finally told in full.
