From dingy experiences of the wasteful war, the deep emotional pangs of the the judicial murder of the Nigerian environmental activist Ken Saro Wiwa by a brutal dictator, the murder of the ace journalist Dele Giwa by a benevolent Dictator the "evil genius", endemic corruption that has rendered most Nigerian citizens hapless, down memory lane to the rigors of intense love for Ifeoma which was uprooted by peer ego. They are frank perceptions of issues, events, encounters, experiences and ironies in our national life, love, romance, integrity, challenges, injustices, nature and philosophy. Truly, life is good but the system is bad.
