Struggling for survival in most of the third world countries has sent several innocent souls to the great beyond. While many great minds have passed away through the strokes of poverty bedevilled by societal norms, others have crossed the boundary of life to death by the harsh lashes of those disgruntled leaders in the corridor of power in the name of ruling their world by force.

In Climate of Change, set in an imagined land of Bagada village, the untold stories of the despotic and unruly behaviour of politicians, who pitch their nest with greedy leaders of the masses, desperately unveil the mass injustice in our society.
