WORDS FROM THE LITERARY CHAMBER
Officially, WORDS FROM THE LITERARY CHAMBER; a collection of poems by Ololade Akinlabi Ige is out. Thanks to almighty God for HIS strength, thanks to everyone who finds time to read every piece of mine. My appreciation goes to Philip Peace, Taofeek Ayeyemi and Toheeb Aremu for their candid supports. And to all those who commented on the manuscript; within and outside Nigeria, I'm saying a big thank you.
The piece is dedicated to all orphans and the less privileges out there. Ige loves you all.
Ololade Akinlabi Ige.
