Professor (and former Nigerian-Biafran Ambassador) Austin Okwu celebrated his 98th birthday at his home in New Haven, Connecticut, surrounded by his friends and family.
First of all, I want to start by acknowledging that no 60-year-old person of Nigerian descent, let alone one from the Igbo tribe, uses "friendship" to describe their relationship with a 97-year--old Professor, ex-Nigerian diplomat, and ambassador.
