Blast from the Past

What’s the fuss about Gobo’s - ‘a Haven in the Wilderness?’ It is, in part, the story of a seven year old boy: Gobo Kanya’s recollection of his own Nigeria civil war experiences; an odyssey which he paints as a budding writer; he struggles through to tell a story stemming entirely from his richly poignant, insightful and very revealing and awesome introspective perspective. Reminiscent of atypical and a bit of that common but lost childhood experiences, Gobo pens a story of a cherished nostalgia tinged with satire. The story he tells, again, is uncannily contemporary. But then it’s a blast, and it’s from the past.
