This is an exciting book and a great reflection on the author's life experiences regarding traditional values.
I live in Africa, and this review has taught me that there is a place named Ogobia in Nigeria!
We all have history and traditions, and the rapid changing of culture in the world sometimes makes one forget their roots or ancestorial lineage.
A book like this is simply remarkable for connecting to past traditions for memory or for understanding better.
Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

It seems that "Adoka Son: Childhood Memoirs of an African by Ad’Obe Obe intricately weaves together the author's childhood experiences in Ogobia with a rich tapestry of African tradition and the encroachment of European customs.
From pant-dropping incidents during holy mass to the complexities of naming ceremonies, the book delves into the author's upbringing, family dynamics, and the clash of cultures with finesse.
Impressively capturing Nigeria's cultural heritage, the narrative appears to skillfully navigate through folklore, rituals, and familial bonds.
Looking forward to reading this book and learning more about African literature and cultural exploration.
