Emaduku’s “Colours of My Mind”: Memorialising the paradoxes of a beloved landscape
The first section of the book, “Thoughts on the Niger Delta,” features 15 essays that diagnose the socio-cultural and politico-economic condition of communities in the oil-rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria, highlighting the neocolonial repression, connivance tactics, indigenes’ naivety and some redemptive measures.” Some essays in the first section of the book dissect the disunity among ethnic nationalities in Delta State as a major hindrance to development.
Most of the essays in the first section of the book reflect the author’s unbiased stance on the vexatious issues in Niger Delta, especially the hooliganism that drove away investors from different parts of the region.
