Independently Publisher Pvt Ltd. is the publisher, and Tade ipadeola is the author. The book will be released on July 18, 2021.

The Sahara Testaments, which was released in 2013 to great acclaim, has become a classic in African poetry. The quatrains have been defined as a metonymy for the experienced reality of the African continent by scholar Romanus Egudu. The text is packed with lyrical energy, being encyclopedic, ambitious, and imaginative. The melody reverberates across the centuries, and the imagination soars. Nathan Suhr-Systema, a scholar, teacher, and researcher, praised the quality of the writing and the extent of its aim, while Rotimi Babatunde and Benson Eluma praised the book for its exceptional effort.

As a metonymy, this collection of poetry, the poet's third, covers the vastness and breadth of the Sahara desert. It received the Nigeria Prize for Literature in 2013 and was hailed as 'encyclopedic' by the panel of judges. The poetry in this collection puts Shelley's argument that poetry is both center and circumference to the test in a wide-ranging investigation of the quatrain.
