As rumors spread of men’s genitals mysteriously disappearing in the capital, Senator Osondu Ike flees into exile to protect his most private fundamental. But on April 1, when his favorite praise singer, Uzo-Kolota, visits, Osondu tries to ease his anxiety with an April Fool’s prank. What starts as a joke soon reveals unexpected truths about the praise singer’s feelings toward the lawmaker. 

Please be advised this reading contains mature themes and strong language.
