This book, with its 'crazy' title, spans the heinous transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, anticolonial struggles, neocolonialism, and neoliberalism (with its numerous ugly faces and masks), including decades of military oligarchic despotism and the present ill-liberal democracy. The story Oroh tells is a unique personal and collective tale, reminiscent of Fela Anikulapo's rhapsodic critiques of Nigeria's democracy. The book is a work borne out of concrete lived experience and vivid imagination. It commends itself, inexorably, to massive access. It is a compelling story that must be read and enjoyed as I have read and enjoyed it. — Prof Olu Obafemi, FNAL, NNOM
