”They told us who the villains were. They never expected us to ask who wrote the story.”

When a dangerous, misleading article by a prominent professor threatens to reignite ethnic tensions across Nigeria, a quiet academic named Yusuf Bakori decides he can no longer stay silent. What follows is a national reckoning — a poetic, powerful journey through distorted history, manufactured conflict, and the silenced voices that refuse to stay buried.

Alongside fearless journalist Fatima Isah and reformed cattle rustler Bala Dankade, Yusuf helps ignite a people-powered movement to reclaim Nigeria’s most powerful weapon: truth.

From burnt villages to university lecture halls, from the colonial archives to forgotten oral traditions, Echoes of a Broken Nation is a story of courage, memory, and the quiet revolution that begins when a people dare to remember — together.

If Chinua Achebe taught us that the center could not hold, then this novel asks:
