Peace from pieces (incorporating biafra: a parody of conflicts) conceptualizes our democracy from theory to practice, with special regard to our plural society. “A house divided against itself falls…” a plural society cannot afford a self -centred or egocentric behavior among its composite groups, if it hopes to be great, with the predominant groups asserting their prerogatives while the minorities are forever on the defensive for their rights No one cares for the common good. Yet somehow, everyone expects the common good to be preserved! In this circumstance the author urges a recourse to divine wisdom. God puts us together, He surely wills this earth to be for our common good.
In part II which stands out as a political history of modern Nigeria, the largest country in Africa by population and the largest black community in the world, the author, in retrospects coupled with persevering research of several years, shows how these forces play out from the birth of the nation in 1960 to its near disintegration by 2023. He identified the gestation of the separatist movements, especially the Biafran Secessionists and counsels the adoption of righteousness (Matthew 7:12).
