Ifeanyichukwu Ndubuisi Chikezie Aniebo, commonly known as I. N. C. Aniebo (born 31 January 1939), is a Nigerian novelist and short story writer,[1] who has been called "the master craftsman of the Nigerian short story".[2]
Aniebo trained as an artillery officer; his first stories were written under a pseudonym to avoid censorship. He fought for Biafra in the Nigerian Civil War, and The Anonymity of Sacrifice (1974) gives a sense of the horrors and personal conflicts of that war. Aniebo subsequently studied at the University of California, Los Angeles,[1] before returning to Nigeria in 1979 to teach Creative Writing and Literature at the English Department of the University of Port Harcourt.[3]
