So Late a Letter

About the Book

In our quest to explore the mysteries inherent in love, based on the manner of understanding we have, our hearts are subjected willingly and willfully to the control of our emotions, and we often expect the same reaction from the other party. Love, though sweet, can be sour. People love for various reasons, and these reasons are the centre of conflict. We grow up, learning how to love differently. And because we love in different ways based on how we came up, then reason is a handy asset to assist our love life. In this book, we see young fellows in higher institutions coming up and trying to figure out the mysteries of love, armed with reasons of course, nurtured from different schools of life and still getting refined. Love comes abreast these youths, emotions flare up out of naivety, and reasons spark conflict as usual in the days leading to the Val Jaz. The stage is intriguingly set here to boldly portray the innocence of love in schools, the type of perception and intuition that often leads to conflict of reasons. This comes in form of an epistle to encapsulate the myriad of ways love is expressed in colleges, hence this title, So Late a Letter.

About the Author

Growing up in the North-eastern (middle-belt) part of Nigeria exposed him to the way of life in this region, the belief, the religious life of the citizenry, the culture, the tradition, the norm, the struggle, the different ethnicity. Later in his youthful life, he learnt and began to love Literature in his early years in the famous Government College Keffi; though he deviated to study sciences his penchant for Art remains zestful. He studied Nautical Science at Maritime Academy of Nigeria Oron, and later proceeded to the UK, Southampton Solent University (Warsash Maritime Academy Campus) to complete his Marine course. He is fortunate to have touched all parts of his country, and most parts of the world, from his vast travels around the world, from his inclination to Arts, from his profound story-telling skills and his immense poetic eloquence; a lot is to be expected from this lover of Art.
