This book opens your imagination to new places. You travel the land, smell the food, hear the people, see, feel and connect through the sensories of the writer.
I recommend that you read this book if you live within the state, plan to move to the state, thinking of visiting the state. But if none of the above applies to you, read it to learn about the beautiful life of the people who live in this lush, radiant and beautiful southern state of Nigeria.

Nma, I want to sincerely commend you for your exceptional storytelling. From the very first page, I was completely drawn in and remained glued to the book till the end, except for the few times I had to reluctantly pull myself away to attend to work. Your descriptive and narrative style is remarkable, painting vivid pictures that spark the imagination and keep the reader captivated. Each detail is so beautifully captured that it creates a hunger to experience the journey alongside. Truly, it was an awe-inspiring read.
Well done, and looking forward to future reads from you
