Ambassador Eineje Onobu Launches Memoir on Diplomacy

Ambassador Eineje Onobu presented his memoir titled "Fragments of Time" to the public at Tafawa Balewa House in Abuja on May 5, 2026. The book launch occurred during a period of significant tension in U.S. foreign policy, especially concerning Nigeria's relations with Iran.

The event featured discussions on the complexities of diplomatic roles and the historical context of international relations, referencing the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Notably, U.S. diplomat Michael Freeman publicly commented on Iran's sponsorship of terrorism in Nigeria, raising concerns about Nigeria's stance towards Iran.

The launch was attended by former Permanent Secretary Nkemjinka Wadibia Anyanwu, who sat beside Onobu. The memoir reflects on Nigeria's diplomatic challenges and the evolving landscape of international relations, particularly in light of U.S. military policies and Iranian geopolitical ambitions.
