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. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.” --- Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart
