About the Author: Mazi Ngozi Ottih found himself at the crossroads of several events in Nigeria political history, starting with attending to Biafran delegations at a young age in the Cameroon republic, who were there to seek the support of Chief Patrick Nwakamma Ottih in the Biafran struggle. At the time however, he was barely cognizant of politics and unaware of it's influence in world affairs or the role of the man who was merely his uncle. With continuous stream of Biafran leaders to the Cameroon republic, he began to realize his worth in the affairs of the Nigeria nation and possible role in the conflict that inflicted Igbo people. As he came of age, he researched and have written on these issues in Reflections of a Glorious Life, Beyond the Biafran Shore, Drought at Dawn, and now Nigerian Political Registry, to add his voice to the history of Nigeria.
