The foreword of the book is written by respected elder statesman and senior legal practitioner, Chief Wole Olaonipekun, who stated that Ozekhome articulates very pointedly, the antediluvian problems causing things to fall apart, and precipitating disharmony at the centre in Nigeria.

On his part, Ozekhome while given reasons why he wrote the book in its preface, stated that: ”I write from the vantage position of a patriot, an unrepetant nationalist, fired by the unquenchable embers of my love and passion for my country.

”The love which found me (and others of like mind), in the deep trenches, against successive military juntas in Nigeria, forthe better part of my youth.”
