Note
The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War or the Biafran War, was a civil war fought between the government of Nigeria and the Republic of Biafra, a secessionist state which had declared its independence from Nigeria in 1967.
Many people fled and a Nigerian/Biafran community started to settle in parts of Hackney including around Albion Road, Shakespeare Walk and Allen Road in Stoke Newington (some called it 'Small Nigeria') and Dalston.
