The Wrath of the Gods

The Wrath of the Gods, a mature work of social and magical
realism, tells a poignant tale of hatred between two neighbouring
communities, Isiagu and Ememu, driven by men’s ego and unthinking
clamour for individual glory, which eventually led both parties down the
path of disobedience of malevolent spirits and resulting into a
general, undiscriminatory, unrelenting maelstrom of destruction, doom
and damnation. The story is told in a tightly woven narrative
reminiscent of the world of Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, and Arrow of God
and the battle-laden epic of Elechi Amadi’s The Great Pond; and told so
well with deep psychological insight and cultural authenticity that it
seems difficult attributing it to a boyhood imagination.
