This book represents a social and cultural study of a mid-sized Nigerian city. It indicates the structure of the everyday, in a community where hustle and insecurity hasten a world only occasionally recognizable to its founding fathers. The book deals with the struggle for infrastructural progress, with the dynamics of religious faith in a city of one thousand fervent churches, and with the nature of lived time in a culture which has not carefully documented itself.

Frederic Will is Professor at the School of Advanced Studies of the University of Phoenix. He has taught widely, both abroad and in the United States, and has published over fifty books. He has written critical and autobiographical texts, travel reports, fiction and poetry, and studies in the operation of ideas.
