The African Verses is a collection of 110 inspired poems, all of which tell about the African situation, and the need to urgently do something about it. It is a book that states the fact: Africa is not in the best of shapes; but it does not just state this fact - it goes ahead to prescribe a remedy: we must own the fault for Africa's being like this, and seek to change things. We must not complacently shift blames. The book is of the view that it is about time to begin a revolution for Africa, by Africans themselves. Enough is already more than enough for African mediocrity. Like Obama would say, it is time for CHANGE.
