WE THE PEOPLE

In a period of grim political transactions, eroding morality and less value for culture, satire is the most appropriate method of re-presenting national discourse on salient issues in an unconventional manner. The collection of poems in the book “We the People” perfectly reflects these.
The Author of the Poetry Collection, Ololade Ajayi, describes “We the People” as a form of protest writing in order to address the ills in her country: Nigeria and the world at large.
The book has been released on Saturday 4th November 2017, in Lagos state Nigeria.
We the people consist of five parts namely:
·        Infamous laments: Satiric Poems for country
·        Lagos, the Rumi
·        Orisun, the source : poems in Ekiti dialect
·         Dialectical love poems, and
·        Faculty of Mentaphors: the authors’ version of metaphorical poems.
All in all the book is a thrill that promises to stimulate the brain when read.

The irony of this visit is not lost on one. Condolence messages flowing from all corners of the 36 states to victims (police and businesses affected) but conveniently missing the real victims of the crisis : the patriotic protesters nationwide who lost their lives and also the innocent ones arrested with no one to bail them out of their p...
