Written on The Parliament of Idiots
This is a collection that recommends itself
to those who enjoy good poetry and who are concerned with

Nigeria but there is no denying the fact that these are issues
that concern humanity in general and so, the relevance of
the book cannot be so pigeon-holed.
...though located outside the shores of this
country, it is gratifying that the poet has not lost his touch
of cultural rootedness. In fact, the beauty of the collection
is further enhanced by the use of elements of oral tradition...
