About the Book

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. Editorial Review - "The words are so touching and the passion they carry is so heavy it literally jumps out of the pages. I cannot wait for the audio version or some jaw-dropping performance to be extracted from this masterpiece." - Poonam Gill, Vancouver, Canada (MBA & Literature Enthusiast). "In the State of the State, poetry visits history, makes judgments, throws down words and divines the future. This is a profound effort with a vision that is as exhilarating as it is anticipative. William Blake was right, 'Poetry fettered fetters the human race.' This one came unchained." - Efe Paul Azino, (Poet/Writer). "A poetic attempt aimed at discussing our dilemma as a nation. It captures beautifully: people, places and events leading up to the current realities in today's Nigeria. It is a masterpiece that should make us think and perhaps dream again. I recommend this to schools and every value adding individual." - Dele Osunmakinde, (CEO Enterprising Nigeria Project). "A beautiful, poetic masterpiece, cutting deep and sharply into the soul of a nation in need of transformation in all facets of life. Lines succinctly crafted with poetic excellence!" - Anotoni Abongile, Pretoria, SA, (Literary Critic and Scholar). "The book resounds with urgent sociopolitical issues facing Nigeria. The authors have made significant effort to address and redress the burning issues affecting their country. This book is a must read for every Nigerian anywhere in the world." - Khalid Abdul, Dubai, UAE (Social Activist and Blogger).
