i concede that i had previousless not even heard of this work, tragic since i am in constant contact with the academia. however, your analysis has done a great deal to instantly educate on the core theme and manner of execution of the work. however, i need to ask in all sense of pragmatism on the prudence of a continued frontline fascination and preoccupation of the civil war and it causes. don't misunderstand me, i agree on the need to explore this but the constant hammering of this horse might have counter productive results. I may be wrong but some years ago the author Chukwuemeka Ike stated the necessity to advance from this war mania that dominates our literature till this Adichie/Habila day. We must find some inspiration for good and progress and not continue to wallow in our dreary and dejected state for longer. The coups came, the riots came, the war came, the dictators came, and still more riots came, but the resilient common Nigerian withstood all these and still stands, we must begin to push up the effort of strength and goodwill, admitting the victories (no matter how minute) that the average man gains against the enormous odds he faces daily. The coups make a fascinating academic study but it must start to recede into the background and give way to that silver lining that remains unfound.

Fellow, i dont mean any insult but your post is rather suspiscious. I mean, you claim to need an editor based on a loose criteria of youth and intelligence (2 positions that rarely coincide), you also give a lewd site as rendezvous point and lastly opt to 'chat' rather than discuss your said important work. I can edit, but what gives?
