“Trumpetry is a thought provoking craft that casts air power as ‘the king of the air.’ With thunderous imagery, biblical allusions, and sharp political nouns, it moves from a call for peace to the roar of retaliation, ending with a stark question: are you an optimist for peace, or a sympathizer of extremism? Bold, confrontational, and unflinching — typical of Adjekpagbon.

“The poem truly points to the failed nation called Niger-Area, ugly and shameful situation where politicians that steals trillions of naira are honorable ‘excellencies’ guided by security men while a pick pocket (thief) is paraded by the same security men and jailed. What a miserable country! Our solace lies in Aburi Accord...”
