That Tuface Book

I mistakenly bought the Tuface biography expecting to read the story behind one of the most gifted Nigerian performers. But what I saw was a lazy attempt at chronicling the life and art of this legend. This book was so poorly put together that I stood on my balcony and threw it away after only 10 minutes of going through it.

It was a compilation of stories carried majorly by soft sells which at best would not stand empirical scrutiny. For some one to put this together and publish as an authentic record of this phenomenal artiste is the height of lazy intellectualism. This was a very poor attempt which has done Tuface a great disservice. I really loathe the work and do honestly wish that Tuface can commission a more serious scholar to put together a better appreciated work for he really deserves to be chronicled.
