@cynthia_abila ‘s pant suit from Zinkata was my outfit of choice for the official launch of my darling Aunty Cecilia’s book, After the Guns Fell Silent — a deeply reflective anthology capturing voices, memories, and lessons from the Nigerian Civil War era.
A beautifully told account of survival, loss, displacement and resilience, drawn from un-told first-hand experiences.
A precept from the book:
“By sharing these memories, the book aims to fill gaps in our collective knowledge, foster empathy across communities, and encourage Nigerians to confront the past in order to better understand the present and the future.”
It was such an impactful evening - with book readings, clips from contributors and thoughtful reflections. Most importantly for me, it was a powerful reminder of how essential it is to preserve Nigeria’s history.
Well done, Aunty Cis!! ❤️❤️❤️🎉
