'Searching for Answers When Normality Fails: Tragedies and Hopes' is a collection of papers presented at different fora by the author. It deals with several social problems emanating from information management, democracy and sustainability, child-trafficking and labour, leadership and responsibility in e-age, work ethics, and student morality. In the book, the author approaches issues with amazing critical analysis. Aware of the power of discourse, the book, for instance, while handling information management draws attention to the truth-telling responsibility of the media and calls for a balance between truth and prudence, speed and accuracy, sincerity and fairness in e-age. Next, the book explains why democracy in Africa and some nations lends itself to corruption, bitterness, anarchy and violence. Thirdly, it exposes the irony where some of those who wage war against child trafficking and labour advertently or inadvertently promote them. Again, it condemns Church industry in Africa for selling Jesus at a discount and frowns at poor work ethics in public offices. It ends with a call for matriotism in Nigeria. This book elicits intellectual admiration.
