"Fathers of Nations" by Paul B. Vitta is a satirical novel set during an Organization of African Unity (OAU) summit in Bambara, where African heads of state convene to discuss the continent's future. The story follows three disillusioned protagonists – Professor Kimani, Pastor Chiamaka, and Engineer Tahir – who arrive with a radical proposal called "Way Omega," designed to bring about genuine change and challenge the corrupt leadership. They face opposition from the powerful President Bangui and his allies, who favor the "PIV" (Progress in Progress) plan, which essentially maintains the existing, self-serving systems. The novel explores themes of governance, corruption, pan-Africanism, and the struggle for meaningful progress against entrenched power, highlighting the disconnect between leaders and the aspirations of their people.
