The Ripples (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For decades, the Niger Delta region of Nigeria has known no peacein a cycle of government affronts, actions and inactions, and counteractions by the aggrieved and marginalized people, a potent web of violence, aggression and counter-aggression is established and the fate of the Nigerian state, which hangs helplessly on the balance of oil swing, is put on a pivot that tills towards anarchy. The land is engulfed in the ripples; a life-size momentous wave, a little to the right and a little to the left. The book, the ripples, is a poetic expos of the politico-psycho-economic interplays and manifestations of many years of mistaken and ruthless actions on the part of the authorities, as well as misplaced priorities, conspiracy and betrayal on the part of the people of the region. These have created ripples that spread in tangential propagation of no return. This is a soul tonic, a poetic humour engraved in the graphic of human adventures, errors of commission and omission.
