ABSTRACT

Nigeria was engulfed by a civil war which was fought between 1967 and 1970. The scale of destruction was high and the degree of death and injured unimaginable. It is a fact that cost of war exceeds by far the benefits that might be accruing from the struggle not only in the human and material resources which are expended in the process, but also in the socio-economic as well as the post-war environmental hazards.1 The thought of war is not a pleasant thought. When we think of war we think we think of people shooting each other, of bombs dropping off of aircrafts, of tanks firing, of starvation, and of people dying. Such as the case of the Nigerian civil war that lasted for one hundred and thirty weeks and four days. 2 So much time and resources were poured into defense and the procurement of arms for the destruction of man and his environment by man. 3 The Nigerian civil war is never intended to be pure journalism,4 but should be called “The Story Of The Nigerian Civil War”.
