He also delves into the world of the African exile and brings a fresh treatment to the vicissitudes of otherness in the modern world. Triptych also highlights in beautiful metaphors the burden of patriotism in a society that sometimes can exasperate and deserve resentment, but which must never be abandoned.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-31495\" title=\"Obemata\" src=\"http:\/\/citizensplatform.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Obemata.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"159\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Obemata was born in Bauchi, north-east of Nigeria.
