Description
Calabar means so much to so many. She had through the centuries been a bread and butter of different colonial masters, sugar and honey for traders and supercargoes, fruit-wine for different evangelical missions, a beautiful bride to historians and literary-lovers, a Nigeria’s ’Canaan’ city and a peaceful home for visitors and strangers. Her people, are a never-to-be forgotten patient and important minority that had made impacts and changes in the socio-political scene of Nigeria and world affairs. This dates back from the ancient period of slave trade to the modern era. It is men that made every annals of human history what it is. Therefore, in sympathy with this objective, I am inspired by the motive of a Roman writer of the 5'" century; Plutarch who, though was nota great historian like Herodotus, yet wrote partly' from ardent sympathy' for noble characters with noble deeds.
