My Biafran Scar: A War & Postwar Narrative is a two-part memoir about the Nigeria-Biafra war and its enduring impact on the author, his family and his community. Part One, titled The un-Civil War - Memories of a Biafran Child, is. told through the eyes of a boy whose dispassionate and innocent rendition of this tragic experience highlights the misery and viciousness of war as an aberration to human existence. Though he doesn't intentionally refer to common wartime vices like bigotry, greed, mental disorder and power abuse, he still highlights them, albeit, in a naïve and uncomplicated manner.

The boy who tells the story in Part One becomes the adult narrator in Part Two. In this section, titled The Postwar - Biafran in Nigeria, he shows that a formal ceasefire doesn't necessarily bring a war to an end as is evident in the unending impact of the war, which is diversely socio-political, economic, mental and infrastructural. Though he is now an adult, the narrator's message can be trusted because it remains candid and devoid of intellectual and political analysis.
