A review of Sam Omatseye’s Tribe and Prejudice. The poet’s abiding fascination with history is evident in a number of the poems including the title poem, Tribe and Prejudice, Asaba Massacre and Obama in Kenya. In Tribe and Prejudice, Omatseye highlights a number of ills, including nepotism and tribalism that have become permanent afflictions across the land. Nigeria, Omatseye further reflects, is a cauldron of conflicts, with peace having gone on a sabbatical from the geopolitical regions. The horror, in fact, is a mere footnote in Nigerian history.
