This chapter draws on the anti-Igbo narrative ?Igbo di anya-ukwu? (the Igbo are greedy) to examine Okpewho?s The Last Duty (1976), Mezu?s Behind the Rising Sun (1978), and Nwankwo?s The Road to Udima (1985) to show the extent to which they seek to justify the myth of Igbo-untrustworthiness. It probes the novels? deeper reflections on how the circumstances of war, including the confrontation with starvation, fear, and death, but also ethnic traits might influence characters? actions. Showing that there are shades of evidence of untrustworthy behaviour among some characters in the texts, it however, argues that some of the seeming untrustworthy characters encountered in the texts are people caught in the crossfires of war. These characters are drawn from across different ethnic groups in the texts, suggesting that ?untrustworthiness? cannot be generalized as an ethnic trait. The analysis of the equation of Igboness with Biafran nationalism in Mezu?s Behind the Rising Sun, Nwankwo?s The Road to Udima, and Isidore Okpewho?s The Last Duty also shows that even as part of the wartime Biafran state apparatus, the Igbo authors themselves critique and sometimes oppose the dominant Biafran discourses and practices in their narratives.
