What's Inside?
While I have my breath
I will speak
Of Society and Justice
Of Leadership and Accountability
Of the Press and Education
Of Politics and Religion
Part 1: Essays
Three essays examining justice, leadership, and the Nigerian political landscape. "While I Have My Breath" sets the tone with a call for justice and accountability.
Part 2: Poems
Three collections of poetry: "Songs of Sorrow" expressing the pain of oppression, "Wooing While We Wail" addressing societal hypocrisy, and "Bits From The Hearts" dedicated to women and morality.
There was a time in our society when the sight of a weeping man was a portent of evil. All who pass such a man then, get concerned. Things have changed greatly. Almost every man in our society is weeping that nobody notices anybody.
Story never finish o! You just talked of the drought of political consciousness among the people. See, in the same polling station another sad thing happened. Not that I was sad, but that it's a national shame. That election morning, the villagers all prepared for their farms. It was as though they were not aware that it was election day.
Part 3: Short Stories
Three compelling short stories: "Of The Mask And The Voice", "Let Them Say", and "The Last Checkpoint" - each offering unique perspectives on the Nigerian society and our resilience.
