Issue 04

Editors’ Note

Our 4th edition takes you across Africa: to Lagos, Harare, Enugu, Maputo, Abuja and at least one airport. We have prizewinning writers, mid-career talents, and incoming marvels.

A writer takes a wild ride through Lagos in danfos, the city’s storied vehicles of chaos. Another traces the history of a troubled African people over decades. A poet considers the tangible and intangible baggage of travel. One story is set partly at work. There’s more—these are 12 notes on Africa penned by a dozen of its own writers.

Please enjoy and write to us, if you have any thoughts on Efiko. We accept praise; we can handle criticism. We fix typos.
