This study tries to approach the schism of Nigerian Biafran War in the novel of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun. In addition, it attempts to address the rich culture of Nigeria, and how Adichie brings out sexuality in this novel in contrast to war. This study also analyses the History of Biafra and how the charactersin the novel undergo severe trauma of war.Adichie portrays the cultural ultimatum of the society from men and women and how they meet up with their expectations. Though gender difference is not innate, the author’s assumption of war is from a man’s point of view and illustrates the Biafran War through the Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba people. In a nutshell, this study analyses the History of Biafra and the traditions of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.
