Mirage: The Story of Kabuki Land

By Abiodun Adeleke

The StoryMirage is a work of fiction that captures the unique and peculiar challenges of the African continent as it relates to corruption, nepotism, tribal and ethnic sentiment, political sit-tight syndrome, greed and other vices mitigating against the development and prosperity of Africa and her people. There seems to be no end to the sugar coated developmental promises from politicians, as every election campaign is full of the same promises at every election year. One cannot help but keep wondering, if societal development in a democracy is rocket science, as the poverty and backwardness of the African continent seems to be defying every proven solution that has worked in other continents. The fact that financial aids, pumped into Africa from developmental partners over the years has failed to achieve any meaningful result in the poverty alleviation drive, has left many wondering what is really wrong with Africa. Mirage is the story of a land called Kabuki, a land rich in natural resources, blessed with fertile land with lots of financial and material wealth. Going by every standard of measurement, Kabuki can be classified as a rich country but in typical fashion of most African countries, the land is riddled with bribery and corruption, nepotism, greed, oligarchy, tribal sentiment, political sit-tight syndrome and others. Though Kabuki is rich, yet her people wallow in extreme poverty.
