1) “I am a Biafran before the white man created Nigeria and gave me that identity Niger Area. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. But I was Igbo before the white man came.” --- Half of a Yellow Sun, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 2) “The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion.

He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.” --- Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart
