This chapter deals with the poem “Nsab Nsabliŋo,” which recounts the role and participation of Afa Ajura and his people during the 1960 celebration of Nigeria's independence. It contains a narrative about the political history of Ghana and Nigeria in the celebration, wherein Afa Ajura talks about meeting several Nigerian dignitaries and political players. It also mentions Alhaj Yahya Iddi who, together with Afa Ajura, was considered to be a supporter of diametrically opposing parties in political, religious, and chieftaincy affairs. The chapter provides an eyewitness account that testifies to Afa Ajura's clout in the political terrain of President Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana in 1960. It contains a rare depiction of the geopolitics and political history of African independence.
