Remy Ilona was a lawyer and law teacher in Nigeria. A member of the Igbo ethnic community, Remy has authored 16 books and many papers, many about his people who are known as Biafrans to most of the world and as Jews of Africa during the period in which Nigeria carried out a genocidal project against them.
