In the novel, Paris is a city where he serves 18 years in prison and in London, he enjoys freedom, living with his daughter Lucie, whom he had never met. Thus, Paris symbolizes confinement and estrangement while London signifies emancipation and self-discovery.

Jazz is music but in some spheres jazz is juju. Jazz music with its African roots has the power of magic bordering on the occult that can turn normal human beings into jazzed up spirits. Its the convulsive power of jazz that helps one to understand the house of power in Nigeria and its ill-assorted occupants. Time was when Dodan Barracks in Lagos rocked with all that jazz as the seat of Nigerian power.

There are convincing indicators that Nigeria’s president, Mr Bola Tinubu, is committed to exterminating democracy in Nigeria. Although he has adopted veiled, pretentious tactics, the enlightened, discerning mind is aware of his underhanded, invidious, and manipulative procedures, which threaten democracy as we know it.

Writing on what passes for Nigerian politics today is a pathetic attempt at making meaning out of wretched absurdity. To lift the spirit, one has to take a recourse to literature where there is a measure of elevation in the undertaking of Nigeria’s creative writers across the decades.
