Cassava Republic launches Max Siollun's Soldiers of Fortune with a competition. Details below.
Coups, coup-plots and coup-baiting; kidnappings, mysterious killings and rampant corruption… These are just a few of the tumultuous and dramatic events that took place in Nigeria between 1983 and 1993. Max Siollun has given us the historian’s perspective. Now, we want to hear from you: the people who experienced the ups and downs of military rule first hand, or (if you were too young or not yet born), with stories kept within the family.
So, what was it really like to live through this period of cataclysmic change for Nigeria? To tell us your version of history and enter our competition, simply respond to the following request:
In 50 to 100 words, tell us about a memory (or family story) from the Buhari/Babangida military era (between 1983 and 1993).
Good or bad, shocking or strange, all you have to do is write your story of the military era and then email it to: info@cassavarepublic.biz.
There are five copies of this ground-breaking narrative of a crucial part of Nigeria’s history to be won (one for each winner).
