This drama is used to illustrate an ignored, degraded, less emphasized, low ranking but nonetheless major dilapidating dimension to the values consuming and morality discarding fumes of consciences called endemic corruption prevalent in Africa, sub-called time corruption.The play begins with a freshly sworn-in, newly elected president in a typical buy metaphoric sub-saharan African country of Kunsunda. Perhaps previous presidents may have been diplomatic about it, but he makes his Africanism as regards to time clear from the first day in the National House after the swearing in, that as it goes in Africa, he as president is the most powerful person in the land and everything, both citizens and the law are at his mercy for whatever manipulations, in addition to a phenomenon hitherto thought can never be subservient to anybody even presidents - time. How this president subjugates time, unleashes the concept of African timing, instills it in his subservients, influences national attitude towards time, handles its clashes with Western time, eventually taking the whole nation to an inevitable destination, is the melodramatized unsung lyrics of this book.
