Every individual has a right to freedom, but freedom seldom comes without the journey of struggle. Resistance is one of the best tools in the struggle for freedom from oppression. The present paper tries to connect the British colonialism in Africa and the Nigerian military coup in the Biafra state of Nigeria through narratives of Half of a Yellow Sun (2017) and Purple Hibiscus (2013) by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The novels take the reader back to the colonial oppression and showcase the implications of the Biafra war through the well-knit stories. To a greater extent, novels throw light on patriarchy, domestic violence, ritualized control, and women and child oppression in African households during the military coup in Nigeria, which are gifts of British colonialism. Further, the opposition shown in the novels against domination and oppression are the reminders of resistance taken against colonialism by the indigenous people during and after colonialism.
