Product description…
State of the State: Sordid Beatifications provides a deep reflection, sometimes chronological, and captivating series of snapshots that tell a familiar story of the creation and state of the world’s most populous black country and Africa’s largest economy. Perhaps you wonder: “Why this book?” “Why poetry?” “Are Nigerians ready for a change?” For many years, these questions continued to redefine our thoughts and expressions. Therefore this book will help you appreciate how badly Nigeria needs a radical transformation and why it should begin with choosing our leaders wisely. The problem with Nigeria and Nigerians are highlighted in this anthology. We did not shy away from pointing fingers at the government; but we also directed the scorching light of our musing to everyone in the country, including us, the authors. We have awoken from our slumber. This anthology is the evidence that we have decided to make a change. And the change must begin now.Outskirts Press Review
