~ Blurred Boundaries. This expression captures best the significance of Femi Abodunrin's recent publication. The text indeed transgresses boundaries; and this at formal, stylistic, generic, contentual and thematic levels. The transgression is evident even in the sub-title as the author conflates the "living" together with the "ancestors". To resolve the seeming contradiction, the word "time" comes into play. Time indeed stands as the essence of concern in this work. Femi Abodunrin is concerned with how time past impacts upon time present and how both impinge on the future. The immediate point of reference is his contemporary Nigerian society. The country came into existence following a decision by the British colonizers to amalgamate the Northern and Southern protectorates in 1914. Since this arbitrary act, the country has continued to totter at the edge of the precipice, transiting as it were, from one crisis to the other. It Would Take Time represents therefore a kind of quest, a search actually for an alternative to the current obsolescence.
