“…Rhymes from the Nile focuses on the values and morals expected of the young and old people alike in a society like ours, Nigeria, vis-à-vis Africa and the world as a whole… The book also calls on parents and guardians to send their wards to school, and as well throw a challenge at teachers to teach well.

As soon as you finish reading the first poem, it has that tempting spirit that makes you eager to read the next poem till you read to the end of the book, because the poems are very interesting, educative and informative.”

“… It is an adaptation of folk-tales treating moral issues ranging from disobedience to spiritual instruction and its consequences… to problems of child-bearing and deceit by fake mediums… to theme of vengeance, envy and jealousy…to the issue of obnoxious fetish practices… to the theme of triumph of good over evil… The stories each try to criticize the Nigerian society, lampooning the bad leadership that has characterized the governing system since the country became independent, and condemning individuals for their frailties, which have rendered the world a useless place for all to live in.
