The book is about the struggle for ethnic and tribal superiority. It examines the common issues of distrust, marginalization, and political and economic superiority, which have become a problematic thorn in the national fabric. The story also explores the heroic trait in the Nigerian citizen, who always exhibits an inherent trait of protecting ideals they stand for. It explores the subject of love, using the two key protagonists in the story Wemimo and Biodun, two strong souls who had gone 360 degrees in their quest to achieve success in their individual chosen professional fields.
It is a story that mimics the political upheaval of that tumultuous era in the political history of Nigeria, especially before and after 1993. The flow of the story is rendered in a way to draw attention to the very fears and concerns of certain tribes within the country, concerns that are the bedrock of most arguments surrounding calls for rotational presidency, five-years single tenure, etc.
