Beyond his literary pursuits, Chinaka is a devoted husband and loving father of two charming children, Sobeife and Chisimdiri. He hails from Nigeria and primarily writes from the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Being a graduate of History and Diplomatic Studies from the prestigious Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, his literary works reflect his academic discipline in that they discuss issues bordering on African history: slavery, colonialism, nationalism, and post- colonialism, with recourse to how they foreground the future of Africa.
