“This book is unique in the deliberate integration of both conventional and faith-based (Christian) conflict management praxis. This is commendable… I recommend this book to students of Peace and Conflict studies, International Relations, Politics, Law, Peacemakers, Diplomats, Development Workers, Community and Traditional Leaders, and the general public- Dr. Joseph H. P. Golwa, DG, Inst for Peace & Conflict Resolution
‘…not just another work of fiction. It is a masterpiece which the simple and the urbane will surely savour. The plot is cosmopolitan, even as the characterization is highly mature and international. There is uncommon expertise in scenery and person/situation presentation, take the instance of Binabi’s encounter with the Swiss psychotic. The storyline is direct enough, arresting and sustaining. The narration is allowed to ride on the wings of events in the life of the key characters. In places, the presentation of the dialogues takes the form of drama, a testimony to the writer’s confidence – experimenting, innovative, daring – reminiscent of Wole Soyinka’s The Interpreters. The sudden self-dialogue in some places provide the required insight into the mind and thought pattern of the characters. The maturity and intellectual depth of a writer are best appreciated when one reads the lines and in between lines of the dialogues and the plot fillers..

‘A vivid story about an African boy’s adventures…his coming of age’-editor.
‘Embellished with witty Yoruba proverbs, spiced sumptuously with amazing folktales, and written in the thrilling mode of magic realism, … … brims with wistful memories of childhood sports and schoolboy antics and jokes; and portrays a gorgeous array of charming characters.
It allegorizes Nigeria’s turbulent history of ethnic strife, economic depredation, and political shenanigans; compares communal rural life with desolate city life; … Leaves all insoluble contradictions, mind-boggling confusions, and perplexing conundrums on God’s doorstep… … Nevertheless, the author hands out hope to Nigerians. The book is a pearl.
