A poetry collection of individual and nationhood yearnings from Nigeria. In this poetic telling, human stories expose the transformations this nation and several others in Africa have experienced in the last decade. It is as much a beautiful bouquet of hopes and aspirations, an inquisition of its politics of waste of human and resource capital, and the dynamism of a progressive people. At a time when geopolitical, religious and social worldviews bring civilizations eyeball to eyeball, it is an urgent account and an unwrapping of the metaphors that could make for more meaningful dialogues. It is a pleasant and thoughtful read.
