“On the pages of this poetry chapbook, Haruna Abdulmajid has brought to light poetic persona to highlight the experiences of the Nigerian youth, and without doubt, a large proportion of a sad population. The title of the chapbook presents a condensed thematic preoccupation of the poetic persona, of an emotional desire to share things he has come to learn about sadness.”
