I thought this book was really thought provoking and helps to highlight the damage done to our African languages by colonialists. Sadly, we now have an increasing number of Africans who seem to take pride in how well their kids know foreign languages when they cannot even speak the tongue of their birth!

The book arrived a lot earlier than the estimated delivery date and in good condition. My only problem with this delivery however, was that I received a slip from the mail service stating that the sender did not pay full postage and I had to send stamps of equal value as that stated on the slip for the package to be sent to me eventually. I didn't really like this because I was charged for postage when I made the order and I don't understand why I had to pay a second time.
