The concubine one of his most populous novels written, I first saw the novel when my mum graduated from ABU Zaria in 1992, when I was in primary school she read it in school as part of her course. I tried to read it that time but I didn't comprehend what I was reading, RIP pa elechi, I am just seeing ur pix for the first time. |

And the silly Dakuku had to take a swipe at Rivers state government in his supposed statement. These APC people are so full of shiitt. I swear. RIP to the great literary giant. He'll be sorely missed. Can't forget "The concubine" which I read in secondary school. Awesome writer. |
