The Tale of Hexagon City Blurbs

If you don't have a flair for reading before and you're feeling otherwise to read "The Tale of Hexagon City". Then, you will change your mind when you read the lines of the special introductory blurbs  on the book  authored by Dr. Kehinde Adenegan, a seasoned Mathematician and an astute administrator.  These remarkable and special comments of noble men and women of international repute on the book, will spur you to read the nine-chapter book and even ask others to get the book and read as well. The book is dedicated to a renowned Professor of Mathematics, Prof. Ezekiel Olusola Ayoola (Deputy Vice Chancellor, University of Ibadan, Nigeria), and Mathematicians across the globe. Please patiently read through the blurbs as follow:

Seemingly, the obvious concern of the author of this book whose title is "The Tale of Hexagon City" is to simplify his mathematical knowledge in a historical fashion. He brilliantly employed various mathematical terms in doing this. He succeeded in striking a relationship and equilibrium between mathematics, history, literature, and politics.

The architecture of the entire nine chapters is intricate in that historical and literature readers will in no doubt classify the book as a political satire similar to Animal Farm by George Orwell. The author in his preface said the book is a "dystopia" which depicts a mere vision of the future and not in form targeted at anyone. The attributes and characters in it will lighten your encounter.

Each chapter is vivid, captivating, absorbing, and brilliantly compiled to form this book thus making any reader a vicarious participant in the history of the Tale of Hexagon City. The unbroken continuum from chapter one to the end is translucent and stimulating.

I need to summarize that the taste of the pudding is in the consumption of the pudding. I invite you to experience the quality and distinctive taste of the Tale of Hexagon City.

HEXAGON CITY surreptitiously runs a mimicry of NIGERIA'S progression from COLONIALISM to her emergence into a modern State bedeviled with distortions and negativities in all phases of Political and Socio-Economic Developments. It is a literary endeavour conceptualized as mathematical literature to interest the fancy of unquantified readers. Mathematical terminologies were therefore generously juxtaposed with ordinary day English lexicons.

The City is structured on a typical Nigerian environment, starting with the rulership, which is based on KINGSHIP, but not hereditary as operating in IBADAN, on rotational arrangements. In her initial existence, the KINGSHIP was riddled with succession hiccups at times executed through eliminations. Typical phenomena in NIGERIA'S Political Development with her Constant Coups.

HEXAGON has, ab initio, a sedentary lifestyle with SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE as the main economic activity. But emerging from COLONIAL Administration into modernity, the Socio-Economic LANDSCAPE, became heavily distorted. Politics became Chaotic. Bourgeoisies emerged poverty escalated and MALCONTENTS became conspicuous and virulent. rulership became a symbol of TYRANNY.

Occasionally, a Comet of efficient leadership graced the skyline, but short-lived. So, as it is being FANTASIZED by youths all over the world, an aggressively focused young AYOOLA was offered the KINGSHIP. Through his youthful EXUBERANCE, he transited HEXAGON CITY, from a FAILED STATE to a land of GREAT EXPECTATIONS AND HOPE, within a few years. He REVAMPED every stratum of society for positivity through his UNBRIDLED TRANSPARENCY, HONESTY OF PURPOSE, AND HARDWORK.

HEXAGON CITY is worth reading by all, literary and non-literary buffs as its disposition may be SATIRICAL to the NIGERIAN STATE.

The imaginative tendency of the author in plotting the scenarios presented in this piece of literature has been mathematically excellent. This work portrayed the mindset of the author on the reasons for leadership failure in political settings. The climax is the utopian emergence of a servant-leader that organized the system giving it order, good governance and perpetuity of good life for all. No doubt, it's a book for intending leaders who may want to understand the intricacies of leadership and devise appropriate style. Kudos to the author for this marvellous attainment outside his sphere of influence. He perfectly brought to bear his background in mathematics to make excellent setting and plotting of the literature.

This book "THE TALE OF HEXAGON CITY" is an  accomplishment of an erudite Mathematician who approaches and pictures Nigeria from a Mathematical perspective, using the six regional geopolitical divides and arrangement as a metaphor.   The Hexagon City is a symbol of Nigeria's riches and ethnic and cultural diversities with copious history of a country enmeshed in a political quagmire. The book which comprises nine chapters, is a masterpiece in the use of Mathematical theories and approaches in fixing a nation with a rich history of ethnic diversity and socio-economic and cultural differences.

_Mr. Steve Awosika

Rtd. Permanent Secretary, Ondo State Ministry of Education 

This is not just a story book but an award-deserving book put together by an exceptionally brilliant mathematician. It is very metaphorical! It x-rays the military and democratic rules in Nigeria using mathematical concepts and predicts peaceful reign through an internal source. Reading a copy takes you though the Hexagon City.

The story, written by a mathematician who's defied all stereotypes typical of scientists, is a well conceptualized metaphor. It gives hope for Nigeria. We need not all leave the country. We can all make Nigeria work when we take the bull by the horns and act accordingly. I commend the book to all lovers of knowledge, reading and adventures.

_Dr. Rafiu O. Sanni

Connivance of powers that be with the perpetrators of inhuman activities met with youthful expression of anger towards supposed elders/leaders for mutilating the future with economic chaos, banditry, tribal wars, political unrest, superiority tendencies and complexes exhibited across the Hexagon.

It talks directly about a country with six zones represented by the Hexagon with the author representing his mathematical prowess in multi-dimensional and multidisciplinary discourses across gender, careers, religions and social strata into sequential arrangement of thoughts.....

The text promises a good read. Bravo and very warm congratulations to Dr. Adenegan Emmanuel Kehinde: more ink in his pen.

_Dr. Awosika Bridget Itunu

The Tale of Hexagon City is educative and informative.  It is a reminiscent of what some Nigerians living in some parts of Nigeria  had to experience  in recent times. The book takes us through the lives of strangers who have come together to live in already established city, which has its own internally generated resources, but who were later ruled by the indigenous Kings of the city, who then turn the tables against the people.  Initially this was painful to bear by the people, but they bounced back and a new prosperous city emerged. The author takes us through the adventure in how ethnic and socio-cultural diversities within a community can be fixed by the community itself.  The book gives hope for the survival, breakthrough and political stability of African countries and other countries facing similar challenges.

_Barr. Jumoke Anifowose (Nee Ajasin)

An Illustrious Daughter of Owo Kingdom

The period we live in nowadays can be geniuely referred to as period of Decadence. Things seem to be ackwardly upside down and falling asunder. Anarchy, fascist, religious and ethnic chaos, social vices, abductions, banditry,and corruptions a host of others reign supreme everywhere in the country.  Dr. Kehinde Adenegan. authors "The Tale of Hexagon City" book which ex-rays a city ruled by different kings at different times with different impacts, yet the problems look unsolved. The book vividly reflects the nation Nigeria, and it gives hope for the hopeless hoi polloi, of course, life is not worth living without a hope.

_Alhaji S. S. Zubair

Former Vice Dean, Schl. of Arts & Social Sciences & Chief Imam, Adeyemi Coll. of Educ., Ondo

For about two decades now, commencing from the Presidency of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, History as a subject has been removed from our secondary schools curriculum. However, The Tale of Hexagon City, though a literacy work with lots of Mathematical terminologies, attempts with high degree of success to bring to the fore supposedly the Nigeria of yester-years when love, unity, cultural ethos and understanding binded us together as a Nation.

The Author as a trained, endowed and universally acclaimed Mathematician has infused and simplified Mathematics into story telling in a readable form, not only for the learners but for the reading delight  for all Nationalists who are interested in utilizing our diversities as a source of strength and inspiration in driving our communities, societies,states, zones and our dear country, Nigeria towards egalitarianism and possibly utopianism.

The book is easily readable and digestible. It flows easily from the first to the last sentences. Therefore, I wish to commend and recommend The Tale of Hexagon City to the reading Public and all Nigerians irrespective of your Profession, Religion, Tribe or Tongue.

_ Hon. Chief Lawrence Olufemi Omosanya,

Commissioner, Representing Ondo State at the Federal Character Commission, Abuja.

The book, "The Tale of Hexagon City" is a brilliant, gripping, unique and engaging story that propels critical thinking as a nail-biter masterpiece. The conceptualization of mathematical shapes into figurative expression by author, Kehinde Adenegan, is an act of creativity and a paradigm shift in teaching methodology, and the learning of the termed difficult subject " Mathematics" by many students. It is also one of the most revealing books and a necessity for today's politics.
