Mirage is a work of fiction that captures the unique and peculiar challenges of the African continent as it relates to corruption, nepotism, tribal and ethnic sentiment, political sit-tight syndrome, greed, and other vices working against the development and prosperity of Africa and its people. There seems to be no end to the sugar-coated developmental promises from politicians, as every election campaign is full of the same promises every election year. One cannot help but keep wondering, if societal development in a democracy is rocket science, as the poverty and backwardness of the African continent seem to be defying every proven solution that has worked in other continents. The fact that financial aid, pumped into Africa from development partners over the years has failed to achieve any meaningful result in the poverty alleviation drive has left many wondering what is wrong with Africa.

Mirage is the story of Kabuki, a land rich in natural resources, blessed with fertile land with lots of financial and material wealth. Going by every standard of measurement, Kabuki can be classified as a rich country, but in the typical fashion of most African countries, the land is riddled with bribery and corruption, nepotism, greed, oligarchy, tribal sentiment, political sit-tight syndrome, and others. Though Kabuki is rich, yet, her people wallow in extreme poverty. The book is one of the resources at Oasis Leadership Academy.
