This is a work of pure fiction. It is based on an African setting during the period of African history before the British colonial masters arrived in Nigeria. The characters are products of my imagination, as well as the places except for Ikwerre land. Ikwerre is actually a tribe in Rivers State which is a state located in the southern region of Nigeria and Nigeria is part of West Africa.
