Notes

Description
In an imaginary Nigeria, a cunning entrepreneur is selling body parts stolen from Dr Menka's hospital for use in ritualistic practices. Dr Menka shares the grisly news with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer and Yoruba royal, Duyole Pitan-Payne. The life of every party, Duyole is about to assume a prestigious post at the United Nations in New York, but it now seems that someone is determined that he not make it there. And neither Dr Menka nor Duyole knows why, or how close the enemy is, or how powerful. Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth is at once a literary hoot, a crafty whodunit and a scathing indictment of political and social corruption. It is a stirring call to arms against the abuse of power from one of our fiercest political activists who also happens to be a global literary giant.
