The Anger of a Child


brigitte downey author of nellie, diaries of a cultured cat, dear diary paris is the pits.

I am pleased with the launch of The Anger of a Child. This sensational new book is based on Rock’s experience of the Biafra war.

How the magnificent city of his birth was tuned into an abattoir or slaughter house for his Ndi Igbo tribe. Everything that represented dignity vanished overnight. People metamorphosed from the loveliest of humanity, into the worst of humanity. Corpses of Igbos, animals, men, women, boys, and girls were littered all over the streets of Kano.

Catchphrases like, Onurubenwanneagbalaoso were of no use. (When an Igbo man cries, all Igbos cry), it is supposed to mean that you never turn your back on a brother in-need; when all you see is blood, blood all over the place, mindless men charging in your direction; with guns and machetes; you have no choice but to run for your life.
