Dele Kogbe has made a signal contribution to the exploration of the natureand future of Africana philosophy, which refi nes the intellectual life of ourancient Motherlands civilization and culture-Terrence Wendell Brathwaite, Founding Programme Manager, MBADegree in Global Development & Comparative Law, Coventry BusinessSchool, Coventry University, UK.
The God Had Gone to Sleep is a good story rooted in Yoruba custom andtradition, enlivens the mind of the readers as it unveils and resolves tensionassociated with kingship and dictatorship- Moshood Folorunsho, author of When the Melon Speaks (A play) andProgramme Offi cer, Educare Trust, Nigeria.
This is a really lovely book, I have enjoyed reading. There is an establishedAfrican style, which adds to the telling of a Nigerian story, I would not saythat it should be anglicised as the style adds fl avour and character ...goodlanguage and the ability to tell a story, build tension and so on. Well done,Dele, you clearly have talent as a writer-Angela Marshall, Senior Lecturer in Law, Coventry University, UK
