Don’t come expecting to meet the typical shy Man of Letters, or to have a give-and-take discussion with Ofeimun. Come ready for a monologue on all manner of things — the state of the arts in Nigeria, or the exhilaration of living in Lagos despite its traffic jams. Above all, he will talk of the politics of his country. Without exception, he believes all of Nigeria’s successive governments have been nothing but organised gangs of thieves.
