“This is a rich collection of great reflections on the realities of the Nigerian condition! Partly metaphorical and partly epigrammatic poems, they are critical without throwing punches. When political, their power lies in satire and wit” 

—Ben Tomoloju 

“Lanre Idowu, a distinguished writer of prose, in this maiden work of poetry, brings to bear on his lucid lines a dispassionate clear-sightedness that takes poetry straight to the people in a popular manner germane to oral performance. He imbues his verses with telling humour and candour.” 

—Uzor Maxim Uzoatu.
