Element of Life and Death presents, in a fine nexus of anecdotes, a paradox of oil (black gold). Obialu perceives his parent's marriage as an incompatible one - divided along very strong religious and chauvinistic lines. He is caught at an interface and he struggles to keep things at a balance, even against his wishes. The circumstance unveils a theatre of games. His father, scared that he is at the losing end of the games and tempted by the luxuries of oil in Nigeria, delves into the murky waters of oil to restore his marriage to his order. The coming of oil into his family takes his family to a different scenario as they face the demons in the whirl fire of fate. There is a fatal flaw and the furnace is heated for a very delicate encounter! Intelligently and humorously written and ornamented with proverbs, legends, folklores and colloquial poetry; Element of Life and Death is a narrative where fact and fiction mingled with undistinguishable truth. The line between fact and fiction is neither thin nor diminished. The thing vanished!
