The book, titled,, is, to me, an indication of the hand of God so you don’t call me anchanter, who mixes reality with fantasy to impress his subject and astound his intended audience.

Therefore, to attain a reasonable height in the comity of nations, Olaopa concludes, we can’t afford to stop talking about reform in Nigeria’s public service and its space. This idea he framed under the cubit of “cultural adjustment chain.
