AK-47 in a Wild Why World is a collection of essays on political
and socio-economic condition of the Modern Africa, humour and
poetry with a nationalistic touch. The approach, very blunt and
sometimes acerbic. The book argues about an unknown fear trapped in
the heart of every black African with a vicious grip on 3 out of
every 5; the thought of a life wasted under economic hardship, a
scary and degenerating environmental nightmare, the scare from an
imaginary superior powers chained in a grander fear of losing
political and vain physical relevance, the fear of a hell, a hell
of poverty and misery influenced by ignorance, greed and crass
illiteracy. According to the author, to run away from this fear, a
great conflict ensued, a conflict of the soul and self in the midst
of a society gone wild with itself. In the madness of this self
induced conflict emerges a great run that has set every black
African on a race out of motherland to cold places of comfort - A
spider web comfort. The book states categorically that unless the
black African sit down and address the myriads of problems plaguing
the entire continent, and build a positive cultural and economic
system the great Africa will spiral into further darkness. The idea
of humour laced into this frank discussion according to the author
is only to remind us that we are living in a world that is getting
hostile every minute of the day, unintelligent arguments,
misunderstandings, strife and things that are insane to ever
imagine we could do to each other. Humour is that idea that reminds
us that all the struggles leads nowhere but more struggles and
stress. The only way to prove that vanity of life is to find time
to share some joy.
