Spoke to @BBCWorld on the radio about our Dad and his almost year-old murder recently. Difficult to do this, but our Dad, Prof (Chief) Obidinma Isaiah Okoli Onyemelukwe deserves the story of his death to be told, as do other victims of violence:

I find “The Only Son” an interesting read. Cheluchi Onyemelukwe’s prose is almost at the level of Jennifer Makumbi’s. The language is deeply rooted and her writing is quite innovative and unique.
