PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

Born In Chaos is a heart-wrenching collection that shed light on the brutality of modern-day Nigeria. These powerful passages confront violence, loss, and grief head-on, urging readers to bear witness to the suffering of Nigerian civilians and soldiers alike. From the call to heal after losing so much, to the story of a Nigerian soldier's sacrifice for his country, to the devastating impact of terrorism on innocent children, this book captures the essence of Nigeria's struggle to find peace and justice in a new environment and culture of violence.

—Zainab Ohunene Suleiman

Poet, Nigeria.

Hilary writes with so much passion and zeal. This piece written with emotions of blood and water captures the desires and suffering of a people marginalized by same persons who should protect and uphold them. You will be missing out on one of the wonders of this era if you don't read this book.

—Rev. Fr. Paul Philip Onyeke

Writer, Nigeria.

The collection of poems and essays in this book reverberate with personal sentiments on violence. They escalate emotions carried by victims of insurgency in parts of Nigeria. They provoke ethnic sentiments and poke fingers into the eyes of the State. The language used is strong and combative.
