Description
History/Politics/AnthropologyWho Killed lge? by Professor Bayo Lawuyi is an archeologist excavation of truth. Using the allegory of the evil forest, a Yoruba cultural medium of dispensing justice, both to the individual alleged of the criminal infraction and the society, the victim of social aberration, the author appeals to our sense of fairness.
Lawuyi in this short and composite work confronts demagogues of propaganda who would rather insist on hawking lies and misinformation as purchasable articles of trade in the public stalls of the Nigerian market. Who killed Ige?, no doubt is an uncomfortable unmasking of purveyors of deceit and propaganda for base crass political opportunism. Yet, those who will seek the truth with an open mind will find the book educative and illuminating. All said, Who killed lge? is a rare book of courage. In an environment where ‘the man dies’ in many a conscienceless people because of the social tyranny of those who insist on dancing on the grave of ChiefBola lge, a Nigerian patriot of Yoruba extraction for pyrrhic political relevance, Professor Bayo Lawuyi’s effort is highly commendable.
