The Allegory Of Zangola

The Allegory of Zangola depicts the narration and experience of a family living between both the pre-colonial and post-colonial era within the African continent. Balla and Adama share their cherished experiences of abundance, freedom and good governance within the pre-colonial period by the village chiefs. First things forward, a nation had already received their independence yet they were not yet free. Rampant corruption, injustices, poor governance and lack of visionary leadership became the order of the day.



Speaking truth to power, Balla boldly exposes the inequalities that many African countries are experiencing and the untold sufferings that many are going through.



Irrespective of the bleak state of affairs, Balla has a dream that things will be better and the future will be brighter.



This book is a wake-up call to the potential of the African continent and its leadership, to pursue the path of justice, equality, good governance, excellent leadership and freedom within our generation.



You can become the voice to the voiceless and a hope to your generation by becoming the change you want to see!
