Description
In the book, Epistles of Anthony Kila, the author evokes memories of the extant Letters of Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ, credited with the authorship of 13 books of the New Testament.
This calculated artistic methodology underscores a thinly-veiled intention of the writer – to awaken the masses of Nigeria to demand the best from their leaders. Where it is clear that the people themselves are complicit in some occurrences that give rise to the disturbing scenarios in the polity, he does not hesitate to address an Epistle to whom it may concern, not minding whose ox is gored.
