Unfortunately, I will have to pass this book, because not only I am not interested in the specifics of African culture and traditions, I don't like memoirs as a genre at all. To me, it always feels like an intruding on privacy, even though it is written by the people who lived those experiences themselves. I don't over share and avoid sticking my nose where it doesn't belong.

Adoka Son by Ad'Obe Obe is a book where the author shares his childhood stories along with some traditions that were followed in Nigeria. The spirit of the community was uncompromising. "As the he-goat aroma irradiates our soil, So may your roots and branches, As it has always been since time immemorial, As you continue to give protection to your children wherever they may be, Forever and forever!" One of the poem I liked from this book. If you want to know more about Nigerian culture and the author's life this book is a good read. Congrats on BOTD!!
