<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="options"></a>Get Your Spouse Here Sooner/Keep Your Spouse in Canada</h2>
If you are doing an <strong>outland</strong> sponsorship application and you want to get your spouse here sooner, you can have them apply for a <a href="https://www.immigroup.com/canada-visitor-visa-trv">visitor visa</a>, and provide them an invitation letter. In IMMIgroup's experience, these applications are rarely approved, but you can still try.<br />
If you are sponsoring <strong>inland</strong> and your spouse wants to work or study, they can apply for a work permit or study permit. <a href="https://www.immigroup.com/news/work-canada-while-waiting-your-spousal-sponsorship-application-be-approved-2018">Read more</a>.

Role and List of Characters in The Blood of a Stranger</h1><br />
<br />
Characters in The Blood of a Stranger<br />
CHARACTERS in the play.<br />
SANTIGI MANDO V<br />
SOKO<br />
MALIGU<br />
PARKER<br />
WHITEHEAD<br />
KINDO<br />
WARA<br />
<br />
<h2><br />
1.ROLE and Character analysis OF MALIGU in The Blood of a Stranger; </h2><br />
Maligu is the king advisor, he is refer to as the wise one because he is educated, he has lust for riches, maligu is one who say everything he sees, an attitude kindo doesn't like because it amounts to not having "backbone", Maligu is greedy and has an overambitious personality <br />
Maligu uses his position as the king's advisor to corruptly plan the false story of prophecy from the gods. Blinded by his dubious desire to get rich quick, he undermines his culture and pride, and exposes his village to ridicule Instead of using his wisdom positively for the advancement of his people, he unfortunately betrays the kingdom's trust in his wisdom.<br />
Maligu and kindo are both at each other's throat "growling and tearing at each other the king even notices this. His greed and overambition almost get him destroyed, even though he is fully aware that making money fraudulently is dangerous. This is why Parker's opinion that Maligu "would do anything for money" some merit.<br />
<h2><br />
2. ROLE and character OF SOKO in The Blood of a Stranger; </h2><br />
<br />
Soko is the village shrine priest league with Maligu to deceive the king and community with false prohecy in respect of the coming of a white man to Mandoland, soko is false, full of deceit and treachery, he is a "sincere liar" and very greedy, Whitehead calls him funny witch doctor because of his queer disposition. He is a coward; despite his tough proposition on how to acheive their goals, he frets when it matters most: "i am not interested in getting money if there are too many dangers." Kindo being their biggest headache, he suggests Maligu make "bigger trouble" for him; be even jests that Maligu should be the hunter to catch the wily monkey Kindo. To prevent him from backing out, Maligu blackmails him for telling lies to the community on the arrival of a white stranger.<br />
Soko's voice is like the voice of the god as he mediates between the spirits and the people. His pronouncements are believed and that is why he is enlisted into Maligu and Whitehead's dubious<br />
scheme. His falsehood manifests in some ways, he for instance sleeps the cave where he is supposed to be as the chief priest of the village but makes the people believe that he does Even though he is co-opted by Maligu into the diamond scam, he now freely spins ideas on how their deceptive project would succeed. He suggests the virgin sacrifice to "make it sweet" tricks Wara out of town, sets fierce rivalry between Maligu and Kindo, etc. It is significant that Maligu and Kindo are the only two men standing at the end of the play, even though is banished, they are equally matched. Perhaps, Soko continues to fuel their rivalry hoping they would neutralize one another to give him better advantage in their diamond scam.<br />
As the whole scheme gets more complicated, his inner strength fails him. He has probably died many times before Parker kills him.<br />
<br />
<h2><br />
3. Role and character analysis of WARA in The Blood of a Stranger </h2><br />
wara is a stranger in mandoland too but has lived there long enough to detest being called stranger, and She is also in love with Kindo, She not born in Mandoland, her mother was taken prisoner by one of mando's warriors during the war; her mother ran away after giving birth to her.<br />
Wara cautions kindo form doing anything which will anger the spirit, Wara is the only Kindo's woman that will be sexually assaulted by Whitehead. Maligu and soko lot abduction into a sack and then take to whitehead's compound. she fortunately escapes. For her love for Kindo, she is ready to risk anything to be with him, likes to follow him everywhere and Kindo is not comfortable with that as a warrior. Her love for Kindo is so intense that she refuses to leave with her grandfather to their homeland but remains in Mandoland in order to be with Kindo. In a way, her mother is seen as a slave ofthe Mando people. This reality poses a great threat to her relationship with Kindo. This is why Kindo cannot take her to the palace.<br />
Even though she has absolute faith in Kindo, she is still very mindful of her integrity as a woman and also respects the customary norms of her society. This is one of the reasons she resists Kindo having her just anywhere and pushes to be taken to the palace. Wara's steadfastness in preventing Whitehead from raping her is indicative of the resilience of the bloggingAfrican space to Western plundering schemes.<br />
<br />
<h2><br />
4. ROLES and Character analysis OF KINDO in The Blood of a Stranger </h2><br />
kindo is the son of the king and head of worriors of mondoland; a hunter and heir-apparent to the throne of Mando, Kindo is an upright defender of Mandoland; he is willing to defend his culture and his people even his own hurt. He is very young and only a boy when he fought in his first war.<br />
Kindo is very sensitive instincts; feels evil in the air easily - very sensitive to a crooked situation, He is an ambitious character he is sturbborn and also impatient; Loves and protects the custom of his people, Kindo is boastful and keeps a dossier on people, He can speak reasonably like a wise elder. He is regid and unnfeeling; More concerned for the safety of his people. He kills Parker, the white man's assistant and is consequently banished from the village. Kindo not moved because a courageous character who has vowed to die a "warrior-king" and "always he is fight for the truth." The fraudulent activities of the British colonizers represented white stranger symbolically by a called Whitehead, is exposed in the play through the king's son, Kindo. Whitehead also dies<br />
in the hands of Kindo (pp. 18, 31, 33).<br />
Kindo's role as head of warriors of Mandoland places a lot of responsibilities on him to defend the land both militarily and morally. Also as heir-apparent, he does all in his power to learn the ropes of leadership. smart enough to see through Maligu and Soko's dubious plan to defraud the land and the people. His ambition and stubbornness are all character traits of a leader with a mission. He defends his vision for Mandoland stubbornly. His boastful and wily natures are defence devices to keep the opposition in effective check<br />
When it matters, he will also handle situations with the wisdom of an elder, a point his father, the king realizes with satisfaction. He also keeps the fact that he can read and write secret as a strategy to monitor Maligu a sincerity in Mando political and socio-economic affairs.<br />
His killing of Parker and Whitehead suggests the death of Western exploitation ofAfrican wealth and heritage<br />
<br />
<h2>
5. Roles and Character analysis of SANTIGI MANDO V in The Blood of a Stranger </h2><br />
santigi mando v is the king of mondoland, father of kindo, He is an upright and a observer of traditional law and cultural norms. Santigi Mand V is manipulated into admitting a stranger into his domain, His rigid sense of justice propels him to banish his son, kindo from his land for killing parker. As the paramount ruler of Mando kingdom he stands firm on the side of justice and cultural values<br />
of his people.<br />
His manipulation to admit Whitehead into his kingdom portrays the shortfall of effective when the lieutenants are insincere. All the decisions Santigi takes are based on the assurances of Maligu and Soko. Not listening.to Kindo most times is probably to prevent been accused of undermining his lieutenants for his son. He probably should have listened to Kindo too and make objective deductions Santigi's rigid position most times is meant to signify how resolute a leader should be and defend the core values of his society no matter whose ox is gored. Every leader has his/her weaknesses. Santigi's main weakness is gullibility.<br />
<br />
<h2><br />
6. Roles and Character analysis of PARKER in The Blood of a Stranger </h2><br />
Parker; Parker is an african who is the secretary, assistance, interpreter, adviser and the right hand man of whitehead, Parker often serves as whitehead's voice and solicitor advocate, he hates Maligu and does not trust him He gets into trouble with Kindo for encouraging the white man to undermine African traditional values and cultural practic Kindo flogs him thoroughly Whitehead schemes him into his plan to kill Soko, the chief priest: a sacrilegious act that earns him death too in the hands of Kindo.<br />
Parker typifies the African who concedes superiority to the whiteman on account of his skin colour. He also derives his importance from been associated with the white man, He insists to be addressed as Mr Parker as status symbol. It elevates him above his other local folks. He defends Whitehead often to curry his favour and to remain relevant in his scam project. He knows Maligu is very smart and has the attention of Whitehead most times as a result his relevance is being undermined. That is why he hates Maligu<br />
s guts He is taught a lesson by Kindo for undermining African norms to assert the dignity of African traditional values. It is also a clear message to foreigners that those who aid and abet with them would not go unpunished.<br />
His death is the ultimate price he pays for his stupidity.<br />
<br />
<h2><br />
Role and character analysis of WHITEHEAD in The Blood of a Stranger </h2><br />
Whitehead; This is the arrow head of the crisis in the play; every evil and a schemer. Whitehead is a crass, greedy, dictator who arrogantly believes he can deceive the entire land into granting him access to its diamond. whitehead lies to the king and is people that he is in mandoland to cultivate tobacco. <br />
He uses petty gifts and hard drugs, tobacco and gin spirit drink; and not in good terms with Kindo because he opposes him. He achieves his plan by plotting Soko's death using Parker, and Kindo reacts by killing Parker which attracts his banishment from Mandoland. He dies in the hand of kindo, Whitehead typifies the plundering of African riches and heritage. He comes to Mandoland with deceit and this is the character trait of all known colonial stories. He pretends to cultivate a tobacco farm, a very lucrative crop, whereas his real intention is to unsuspectingly steal the people's diamonds cashing in on their ignorance.<br />
The gifts and drinks he offers are meant to subdue the people's consciousness and secure their cooperation He detests the guts of Kindo because he sees through Whitehead's plan and therefore hatch a plan to murder Kindo by exploiting the traditional legal injunction of the land that no one must kill during peacetime. His death in the hands of Kindo marks the triumph of African values and resilience over Westem exploitation.<br />

<h1>
Summary of The Panic of Growing Older by Lanrie Peters</h1>
The poem is a record of what may happen to a human being as soon as he/she observes the world. Such an individual engages the word at his or her youthfulness as the year tick away like clock there is a growing awareness that one "from year to year" is growing older Lenrie Peters, took age 20 upwards as his case-study to show how the events of adulthood unfold. He revealed that a person begins adulthood with beautiful hopes: “at twenty stilled by hope of gigantic success and exploration”. Ten years later, one has gained the achievement of raising a family, one becomes unnecessarily busy in domesticity that won’t give room of seeing the moon, one begins to suffer emotional pains due to inability to achieve expected goals. He put it this way: “Copybook bisected with red ink and failuresq-nothing to show the world”. He further explained that the scientific prove of life longevity is uncertain because “hope is not a grain of sand” since human being can die at anytime. <br />

<h1>
Settings of The Panic of Growing Older </h1>
The setting of the poem is a stretch of human life, stating from one's teen years to later life. As one ages, one wonders what is in stock for one. Thus, the setting could be said to be the various stages of existence, imbued with going into the future with expectation and of the actual old age which may not be as one had thought at the beginning. As the poem is about the end, the initial aspiration has no corresponding sense of self-satisfaction. Moreover, one is now enfeebled by age such that "the world has you.<br />
<br />
<h1>
Analysis of Lines 1-4 of The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
Fear envelopes the growing person. As the years roll by the panic of realizing the purpose of one's existence may "spread" over the individual. The word "panic" is appropriate since with age comes the trepidation of the coming responsibility associated with adulthood.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1>
Analysis of Lines 5-8 of The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
The individual is twenty or thereabout. There is so much optimism, so much hope, hope of "gigantic success." It is a period when one has lots of time to oneself It is also a period of experimentation and exploration.<br />

One has reached thirty years or so. Were there to be a pain on any part of the body, no laboratory test would reveal it since the body is still strong and healthy.<br />

Analysis of Lines 13- 16 of The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
At the age of thirty and a little after girls may have married. The same is with the boys to a large extent.<br />
age and social constraint and expectation may have set in. No more gallivanting, and no excitable<br />
at the moon now." Even if one were not married, one is no more expected to engage in the games of teenagers and early adults.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1>
Analysis of Lines 17-24 of The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
At this stage, life has turned into<br />
a "copybook bisected/with red ink." Life is like a sheet of paper divided into two one side filled with successes and the other side filled with failures. In the case of our protagonist, the person he is assessing is a failure with "nothing to show the world." What he has to show may simply be "three children'', whose procreation requires no "specialist's effort" to achieve.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1>
Analysis of Lines 25-28 of The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
Although science leaves man with the hope that the normal three score years and ten God promised human beings may be doubled, it is only a mere hope and no more. The reason is that "hope is not a grain of sand." That is, hope is neither tangible nor can it be felt.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1>
Analysis of Lines 29-32 of The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
This is the last stage of a person's existence. "Inner satisfaction" may not have been realized since it would have been shattered by the revolving "blades of expectation" set up at the beginning. At the point of old age, weakness sets in, one having been defeated by the world.<br />

Themes of the Poem The Panic of Growing Older by Lenrie Peters</h1>
<br />
<h1>
The themes of Mortality The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
The poem is primarily centred on the mortality of human existence. We are born, we move about clothed in our various ambitions, quite buoyant and vibrant. Then, we step into a sober life of domesticity followed by a period of self-evaluation of where we may have done well and where we had performed badly. Our share of age is 70 although science promises "twice three score and ten." But this is only a promise, nothing to hold on to as it has not yet materialized.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1>
2.The Theme of The twist in human fate The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
Life is full of expectations. Man creates for himself these expectations. Life starts with strength and activities and ends with closetness/domesticity and a plummeting sense of satisfaction. Age comes with lots of hope, of what is to be achieved. One leaps up and down in an effort to achieve these hopes. But age is a period of self-assessment which may not be fully satisfying. Age comes as a contrast between optimism and the practical outcome which may not be as had been anticipated. In this way, life may after all be a movement from activity to docility, from high hopes to be realized to ordinariness<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1>
3.The Theme of Anxiety associated with ageing in The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
The "panic" having to do with growing old is tied to what one had set out to achieve and the reality of one having spent or about to consummate one's span of existence. Although there are people who had come into this world achieving so much for themselves and for humanity, the poet's persona is a failure, and so the lots of much of humanity. It is about such people that the poet formulated his poem Thus the poet writes "on the average" what happens in human existence. In other words, the initial excitement in youthfulness does not often last into old age.<br />
<br />
<h1>
4. The the of Man engages the world as in a contest in The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
In the poem, it is as ifhumans are engaged in a contest of will with the world or with life. Youthfulness is imbued with lots oflife and energy. However, with age this energy dissipates with little or noachievement to credit to life itself. What man achieves is no more than what does not require a specialist's effort to achieve. Thus, it is as if man sets out to conquer the world but has himself been conquered by the<br />
world: "From now on the world has you."<br />
<br />
<h1>
Structure of The Panic of Growing Older</h1>
<br />
The poem has a total of thirty-two lines. It has eight stanzas of four lines each. The first stanza bears the title which although is in four lines is essentially a sentence; it also announces what the poet has in mind, namely the anxiety of ageing. The structure can be squeezed into three compartments namely the anxiety of ageing, what happens during the process of ageing and the feeling one has upon arriving at the appointed date of "three score and ten." Stanza 7 seems to have been used to announce the fact that longevity is still far-fetched since achieving "twice three scoreland ten" is only a matter of hope and conjecture.<br />

Shakespeare's Sonnets<br />
<br />
<br />
Summary and Analysis of Sonnet 18 - "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"<br />
<br />
<br />
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? / Thou art more lovely and more temperate:"<br />
<br />
What if I were to compare you to a summer day? You are lovelier and more temperate (the perfect temperature):<br />
<br />
"Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May / And summer's lease hath all too short a date:"<br />
<br />
Summer's beauty is fragile and can be shaken, and summertime fades away all too quickly:<br />
<br />
"Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines / And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;"<br />
Sometimes the sun is far too hot, and often it is too cool, dimmed by clouds and shade;<br />
<br />
"And every fair from fair sometime declines / By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;"<br />
<br />
And everything that is beautiful eventually loses its beauty, whether by chance or by the uncontrollable course of nature;<br />
<br />
"But thy eternal summer shall not fade / Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;"<br />
<br />
But your eternal beauty (or youth) will not fade, nor will your beauty by lost;<br />
<br />
"Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade / When in eternal lines to time thou growest:"<br />
<br />
Nor will Death boast that you wander in his shadow, since you shall grow with time through these sonnets:<br />
<br />
"So long as men can breathe or eyes can see / So long lives this and this gives life to thee."<br />
<br />
For as long as people can breathe and see, this sonnet will live on, and you (and your beauty) with it.<br />
<br />
Why is he saying it?<br />
<br />
Sonnet 18 is arguably the most famous of the sonnets, its opening line competitive with "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" in the long list of Shakespeare's quotable quotations. The gender of the addressee is not explicit, but this is the first sonnet after the so-called "procreation sonnets" (sonnets 1-17), i.e., it apparently marks the place where the poet has abandoned his earlier push to persuade the fair lord to have a child. The first two quatrains focus on the fair lord's beauty: the poet attempts to compare it to a summer's day, but shows that there can be no such comparison, since the fair lord's timeless beauty far surpasses that of the fleeting, inconstant season.<br />
<br />
Here the theme of the ravages of time again predominates; we see it especially in line 7, where the poet speaks of the inevitable mortality of beauty: "And every fair from fair sometime declines." But the fair lord's is of another sort, for it "shall not fade" - the poet is eternalizing the fair lord's beauty in his verse, in these "eternal lines." Note the financial imagery ("summer's lease") and the use of anaphora (the repetition of opening words) in lines 6-7, 10-11, and 13-14. Also note that May (line 3) was an early summer month in Shakespeare's time, because England did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1752.<br />
The poet describes summer as a season of extremes and disappointments. He begins in lines 3-4, where "rough winds" are an unwelcome extreme and the shortness of summer is its disappointment. He continues in lines 5-6, where he lingers on the imperfections of the summer sun. Here again we find an extreme and a disappointment: the sun is sometimes far too hot, while at other times its "gold complexion" is dimmed by passing clouds. These imperfections contrast sharply with the poet's description of the fair lord, who is "more temperate" (not extreme) and whose "eternal summer shall not fade" (i.e., will not become a disappointment) thanks to what the poet proposes in line 12.<br />
<br />
In line 12 we find the poet's solution - how he intends to eternalize the fair lord's beauty despite his refusal to have a child. The poet plans to capture the fair lord's beauty in his verse ("eternal lines"), which he believes will withstand the ravages of time. Thereby the fair lord's "eternal summer shall not fade," and the poet will have gotten his wish. Here we see the poet's use of "summer" as a metaphor for youth, or perhaps beauty, or perhaps the beauty of youth<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But has the poet really abandoned the idea of encouraging the fair lord to have a child? Some scholars suggest that the "eternal lines" in line 12 have a double meaning: the fair lord's beauty can live on not only in the written lines of the poet's verse but also in the family lines of the fair lord's progeny. Such an interpretation would echo the sentiment of the preceding sonnet's closing couplet: "But were some child of yours alive that time / You should live twice; in it and in my rhyme." The use of "growest" also implies an increasing or changing: we can envision the fair lord's family lines growing over time, yet this image is not as readily applicable to the lines of the poet's verse - unless it refers only to his intention to continue writing about the fair lord's beauty, his verse thereby "growing." On the other hand, line 14 seems to counter this interpretation, the singular "this" (as opposed to "these") having as its most likely antecedent the poet's verse, and nothing more.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802817725819444456.post-19755815069042315722016-08-06T12:44:00.001-07:002018-12-23T11:49:02.640-08:00Analysis of the poem Piano and drums<h1>

Piano and Drums
</h2>
When at break of day at a riverside
I hear the jungle drums telegraphing
the mystic rhythm, urgent, raw
like bleeding flesh, speaking of
primal youth and the beginning
I see the panther ready to pounce
the leopard snarling about to leap
and the hunters crouch with spears poised;
Then I hear a wailing piano
solo speaking of complex ways in
tear-furrowed concerto;
of far away lands
and new horizons with
coaxing diminuendo, counterpoint,
crescendo. But lost in the labyrinth
of its complexities, it ends in the middle
of a phrase at a daggerpoint.
And I lost in the morning mist
of an age at a riverside keep
wandering in the mystic rhythm
of jungle drums and the concerto.
Gabriel Okara
<br />
<h2>
Analysis of Piano ad Drums
</h2>
Piano and Drums is quite clearly a poem about the cultural dichotomy of traditional and Western cultures in post-colonial Africa, but the raw emotion of the poem makes it an expression of confusion that anyone tied to more than one culture (which is a lot of people in this day and age of globalisation) can relate to. Even failing that, the imagery of the poem is powerful enough to express his confusion – we can almost feel Okara’s indecision seeping through the page. Okara’s metaphors are simple but fitting: the drums represent traditional African life, while the piano represents the Western world. What I love so much about the writing in this poem is how his reaction to each “instrument” is portrayed. Both the first stanza (drums) and the third stanza (piano) are arranged in a similar way. There are essentially three parts to each one. First, we hear the sound of the instrument. In the case of the drums, it has a “mystic rhythm” that is “urgent” and “raw”. As for the piano, it is said to be “wailing” and “a tear-furrowed concerto” is being played. We get an impression that while it is seductive, it is far more complex and multi-layered. Next, we find what the music “speaks of”. The drums speak of primal life. The piano, on the other hand, speaks of “complex ways” and of “far away lands and new horizons”. Each stanza closes with his base reaction to hearing each instrument. The drums induce memories and images of hunting in a primal lifestyle, and the simple life with natural beauty surrounding him that he can lead in that culture. The piano, while seductive, turns it to be too complicated for itself. The expression of those ideas only works on the level it does because of the way each line of the poem flows into the other. Although it appears simplistic, exposition is handled very well here, in a way that many authors of prose could learn from. As the poem begins, the drum beats recall in him the primal nature of traditional life as a hunter gatherer. The placing of the word “telegraphing” here is interesting due to its difference from the rest of the diction in the stanza. It conveys to the reader a subtle feeling that Okara is no longer part of the beating of the drum; it is implied to be a kind of message – although it brings out raw and fresh emotion in him, it is telegraphed, not played in all its purity. As the hunters stand poised to take action, Okara’s memory shifts from a situation of primal aggression to memories of his childhood. He revels in remembrance of being in his “mother’s laps a suckling”. Here there are “no innovations”; paths are shaped by the pulse of life in all its simplicity and glory. However, his love of the drumming is not strong enough to prevent his
distraction. In a mere moment, his focus is on the “wailing piano / solo”. The complexity of the piano is seductive; the “far away lands” and “new horizons” present a counterpoint to the simplicity of his reminiscing of traditional life – but its complexities reach a point where it stops abruptly, lost in itself. It might sound at this point as if Okara has already made up his mind to follow the path of the drums, but he still finds himself lost. This confused me the first time I read the poem, but on re-reads it makes perfect sense. Despite the fact that the piano seems to crumble upon itself, he is still
seduced by it – its arrest at a “daggerpoint” almost adds to its layered and complex nature, which is what attracted Okara to it in the first place. The last stanza, seemingly calmer and more restful in its rhythm than the first three, feels to me as if fueled with raw, pure emotion. He is lost, wandering aimlessly as the music of the two instruments meld around him. Confusion surrounds him and, for the moment, he succumbs to it.
<h2>
The Themes in Piano and Drums
</h2>
Analysis of the major themes in piano and drums
<br />
<h2>
1 The Theme of Culture / Conflict
</h2>
Culture in Piano and Drums by Gabriel Okara
In the poem “Piano and Drums” the poet Gabriel Okara depicts and contrasts two different cultures through symbolism of pianos and drums. The Poem is divided into four stanzas. The first two stanzas represent the “drum” culture and the second two stanzas show the “piano” culture. The description of the drums is in two stanzas, but is one sentence long. The first line of the first stanza:
‘When at break of day at a riverside’
Uses trochees to emphasize the deliberate broken rhythm. The stanza has savage words, “bleeding flesh,” “urgent raw,” “leopard snarling,” “spears poised,” to show that this is a primitive culture, one which has dependency on the environment, as is represented by the “hunters crouch with spears poised.” The environment in this culture is physically dangerous, surrounded by wild animals. Drums here are a way of communication, and “jungle drums telegraphing the mystic rhythm, urgent, raw…” shows the way of life in this culture. This is life which is simple, near the beginnings of man. The stanza ... ... middle of paper ...
...with one another, with Drums illustrating primitive behaviour, and a savage, dangerous culture. The connotations of the piano are complex and technical. The piano uses significantly different word sounds, showing that it is learnt, westernized and intricate compared to the drums which is instinctive and naturally acquired, and simple.
The poem uses no set rhyme pattern which suits the poem as it has an undecided effect, emphasizing the confusion of the persona over his future.
<br />
<h2>
2 The Theme of Innocence
</h2>
The theme of innocence in the poem is explored in the poem is explored in the depiction of african culture, from the very first line of the poem where we are told that the events take place "at break of day", the idea of innocence is already implied. This is because the day is fresh and uncontaminated by other activities or sounds. The sound heard from the jungle drums are therefore pure and not corrupt, the poem also invokes the idea of innocence.
<br />
<h2>
3The Theme of Dilemma
</h2>
The theme of dile also features in the poem, while the poet speaks glowingly of african culture, he also finng european culture, despite its shortcomings, seductive. Thus he is unable to dwcide whether to let go of the inherited culture or embrace the new one this is the plight of many educated africans today . many have however resolved this delimma by taking from the two cultures in what has come to be know as cultual syncretism

<h1>Roles and Analysis of Major and Minor Characters in Harvest of Corruption</h1><br />
Characterization of Harvest of Corruption <br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of ALOHO In Harvest of Corruption</h2>1. ALOHO<br />
Aloho is the main character in the play. She is a young and naïve university female graduate desperately searching for a job. In her desperation, she ignorantly becomes part of a criminal network involved in drugtrafficking in spite of her friend’s constant warning to keep away from notorious Ochuole. Aloho is arrested and detained for drug trafficking. Upon her release, she suddenly realizes that she is pregnant for Chief Haladu- Amaka and eventually dies during child-birth. The author uses Aloho’s character to portray the ordeals of many young and jobless Nigerian graduates, how they are easily taken advantage of and lured into crime intheir desperation to eke out a living.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of OCHUOLE In Harvest of Corruption</h2>2. OCHUOLE<br />
ochuole is of average height who likes to wear "a tight mini skirt with an equally dark red designer shoes" (p. 1. She is said to be "gregarious... described by her friends as an extrovert" (p. l). Ochuole is free-willed, a bit on the talkative side. Her idea of a city is where "oranges" beg for plucking as soon as "they are ripe" (p. 2). By implication that is just what she has been doing sinee,arriving Jabu, the capital of Jacassa. Her "heydays in the university" (p. 2), to use the words of Aloho, were remarkable for what they were. Aloho was to tell ogeyi about Ochuole when she describes the latter as "that girl who was almost making herself a nuisance on the campus" (p. 8). She had been "that girl who caused a lecturer's suspension for leaking examination papers" (p. 8) Because ochuole's thinking is always centred on plucking "oranges" when she notices "they.are ripe", she has no time for "born-again stuff" (p. 3). She urges Aloho to spare her "anot of your crusade sermons She is one made to eat her cake "and still have it' (p. 3) She is open and clear her friend who arrives the city of Jabu still with traces morality, ochuol advises Aloho: "All you have to do is open your eyes wide not to look at Aso or Zuma rock o" (p. 4)<br />
Ochuole promises Aloho a job and delivers it to her. She promises to "put a word for you (Aloho) to my Minister" because she is very sure "he will not say no" (p. 5)<br />
. She is the Minister's mistress, his confidante, business partner and corrupt outlet. Ochuole is the most influential person in Chief's life who could easily extract money at will from him, and a<br />
been notice too. Although Aloho's designation at work is Protocol Officer, she has simply been employed to be a drug carrier. "My duty", Ochuole informs Madam Hoha "is to convince <br />
(Aloho) to play ball with him (Chief and then the usual commission keeps rolling inWhen she speaks to Chief on Aloho's need for a job, it is like a directive rather than a request "I have assured her that you will employ her" (p. 17)<br />
<br />
Ochuole is an astute manipulator. Apart from manipulating Chiefto do her bidding, she subjects Aloho to do her own will. Such is the high-voltage manipulation over Aloho that the latter in tears narrates her ordeal to Ogeyi in these words: "Ogeyi, what pains me most is that in all this drama, I am not even given a chance to choose my own role to play" (p. 58). Almost as Aloho is given the new job, she is quickly asked to travel to the United States with an ill-fated suitcase. The newly employed is astonished and in a protesting voice asks her: "You never mentioned any trip to USA as part of my job. What is all this about?" Ochuole responds: "You wanted a job and here is<br />
one" (p. 41). She cajoles Aloho with "Come on cheer up, now you<br />
have it don't lose it" (p. 4). She reveals to Ogeyi later that she was "even lured into having affair with Chief (p. 58) probably by Ochuole which is why "the very memory ofochuole o the Chief gives me the nightmare" (p. 59)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of CHIEF ADE HALADU-AMAKA In Harvest of Corruption</h2>3. CHIEF ADE HALADU-AMAKA<br />
Ade Amaka (a ka. Chief)<br />
Chief has a protruding stomach that his friends fondly call him "the pregnant chief. He has a round face which is said to be constantly covered with sweat "no matter the weather (p l4). He is said to breathe heavily whether he is awake or asleep. As for his gait, he "walks like a man who has an enlarged scrotum" (p. 14). This no doubt paints a picture of corruption, the image of social decay as represented in one person alone.<br />
<br />
He is the Hon. Minister in charge of External Relations. We are never treated to the real nature of his work as a Minister. We see him run after girls, order food and drinks in Akpara Hotel which he also uses as the warehouse for his cocaine deals. He is painted as a spendthrift who asks Madam Hoha to "just serve yourself whatever you want and add the bills" (p. 14) immediately the hotel proprietress complains that he has not been "fair" to her.<br />
He enjoys the warmth of women's company. At Akpara Hotel he orders for "two bottles of big stout," (p. 14) and two mortars ofishi ewu for him and for Ochuole. When Ochuole complains of money to settle her mother's hospital bill, he "draws his portfolio nearer to himself presses the buttons open and pulls out a bundle of money which he throws on her laps" (p. 16.) he sees Aloho, he indicates readiness to give her a job in his Ministry and schedules a meeting at 4 pm in his favourite hotel-Akpara Hotel. We later learn that he puts Aloho in the family way shortly after coming in contact with her Chief is both the grower of corruption and the reaper of its outcome. He briefs the Police Commissioner and Justice odili on basis that they will protect him against the dictates of the law. This way he runs his hard drug business unmolested, and when one of his carriers Aloho is caught at the airport, Justice Odili organizes a Kangaroo hearing and releases the culprit in a matter of days. He divests the Ministry of huge sums of money and converts government workers into his direct servants and agents in his nefarious deals. In the end, he receives a very long term. About to face the law, he loses his nerves. He asks the SSS people who come for him to give him "time to pull" himself together. Earlier, he had tried to be bold by asking them: "Who<br />
are you and who the hell is your Chief that you should come into my office and behave as if the world is in your pockets?" (p. 89) The same loss of nerves is observed when the case is underway. "My Lord," Chief pleads, "I think I want to see a doctor. I am not feeling well'" (p109). When he is about to be sentenced, he pleads for leniency and informs the court that "my entire village and local government depend on me" (p. As if the jail for those who are not married, Chief further pleads, "Show mercy My Lord, I have a family p-l-e-a s e' (p. 118).<br />

<h2>Character Analysis and Role of ACP YAKUBU Yakubu In Harvest of Corruption</h2>6. ACP YAKUBU Yakubu is an Assistant Commissioner of Police. He stands out as an incorruptible and honest police officer. He withstood pressures from his boss, the Commissioner to stop investigating Chief’s activities at the Ministry of External Relations. His investigations led to the arrest and prosecution of Chief, Ochuole, Madam Hoha, the Commissioner of Police and the corrupt Justice Odili. <br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Ayo In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Ayo (p. 26)<br />
We are introduced to Ayo as a clerk in the Ministry of External Relations. He is a bare-faced liar who claims not to know about the embezzlement in the Ministry until he is bribed hank you. You should <br />
expect me tomorrow evening unfailingly," (p. 28) he assures Inspector lmaka. We are informed that he is "slim and hungry-looking, but well-dressed with a white shirt over apair black trousers and a black tie to match." His front ket is lined with an array of biros of three colours. His shoes are slightly needful of repair at the sides, having been "chopping alignment (p 26. No wonder he quickly accepts a two thousand naira bribe to augment his monthly pay of two thousands five hundred naira take home. An ignorant fellow, in revealing the sleaze in the Ministry after receiving a bribe, Ayo is not aware that he is culpable for exposing official secrets and also for receiving monetary inducement, Dragged to court along with his Minister boss and the latter's accomplices, Ayo receives a five-year jail term for corruption as well. Free with his mouth; he informs Mrs Obi and Alice on what transpires between Aloho and Chief for which Alice calls him a gossip. His significance it the play is the role ho plays in unveiling the goings- on in the Ministry.

<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Alice (Tea Gir) In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Alice (Tea Gir) <br />
<br />
She is the tea girl in the office of the secretary to the Minister of External Relations. She speaks Pidgin English. The first time she speaks she accuses Ayo, the Clerical officer of being gossipy for which the latter warns and taunts her. Although she is keen to hear Ayo's gossip she is not keen to meet a "man<br />
we de gossip like woman" (p. 77) such as Ayo That way, Ayo accuses her of meddling in his affairs and asks Mrs. Obi to warn her desist from doing so. The gossip is that Alohi, the Protocol Officer,<br />
had been pregnant for "oga (Chief) and had died from abortion Alice is used to typify what happens in government offices in developing country in which must of her time is spent on gossip and tittle-tattles <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Commissioner of Police In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Commissioner of Police (p. 18)<br />
He is said to be "a tall athletic young man of about forty years "dark in complexion, has thin and sender fingers'' and possesses "red lips with black sports his teeth is said to be "broken" and "coloured" probably because he is a chain smoker and an alcohol addict As we meet him first tme, Chief haladu is visiting him just as he did Justice odili with alot of goodies. The law officer is quick to point out to Chief your Ministry is getting some negative and disturbing publicity lately" and reminds his visitor that "nobody loves negative publicity you know This is an interesting comment because he was later to scream at ACP Yakubu with "public opinion my foot!" (p.62) when he sought to underplay Chief's atrocities against his country the comment is also interesting because the Police Commissioner seems to have made in order raise the value of the booty he is to receive from Chief We are informed that as Chief opens his portfolio and brings out bundles of naira notes and places them on the table, the Commissioner grabs them with the agility of lighting and puts them into his drawer (p. 19). Not only does be expect filthy money from Chief, the Commissioner of Police argues for "increased pay" for the "boys" (p. 20) so as to ensure their "absolute loyalty and excellent performance" (p. 21). Like Justice odili, he also asks Chief to be careful by being vague about what he means: "You have to be careful. I have sensed the signal and I know the danger sign when it appears on the dashboard" (p. 21)<br />
The manner he is described which has been briefly referred to shows that the Commissioner has ugly habits, including his tendency to accept bribes. Once he has been mobilized like Justice Odili, he charges along like a lion sensing an attack on his territory. Just as Justice Odili intimidates the Registrar at the kangaroo hearing, Police Commissioner seeks to intimidate ACPYakubu without achieving much success. He warns the ACP to "steer clear of that Ministry or any other Ministry for that matter or you will be biting more than you can chew" (p. 62). But the ACP, sure-footed, fires back: "Sir, you cannot threaten me and do not bother at what hits me but I shall ask you this, since only those who have skeletons in their cupboard need fear" (p. 63).<br />
The Commissioner and Justice Odili, each an agent of the law, are shown to be drawbacks to the law. It is people like them who weaken the law and prepare the way for corrupt people to evade the law. Both of them receive most the venom of the Judge at the court as he calls them "a big disgrace to our noble profession" (p. 119). The Judge accuses both of them of greed before sentencing each of them to twenty years with hard labour. They both represent agents of the law who work at cross-purposes with what society expects of them, and cause impunity to continue to reign. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Constable Ojo In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Constable Ojo (p. 54)<br />
A lanky-looking young man possessing an athletic figure, Constable Ojo has very small eyes "which are hidden inside the sockets." We are told that when the Constable looks at a person "there is an uneasy feeling that penetrates through the person's very soul." He is often smartly dressed and "has the knack for breaking seemingly mysterious cases<br />
(p. 54). He works with ACP Yakubu whom he observes as the latter talks to himself in a soliloquy as to the level of in society where "any or highly placed individuals will and can toy with the judiciary and get away with any crime committed Constable ojo in return is equally surprised that at the trial of Aloho for cocaine pushing, "the state prosecutor and the defence counsels both absent at the different times the case came up (p. 55). He is deployed in the play to show that the impunity exercised by Chief and his clique rattles the top (ACP Yakubu) intermediate (inspector inaku) and the low level (Constable ojo) policemen in Jacassa for which something has to be done, and pretty soon too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Customs officer In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Customs officer<br />
Like Constable ojo, the customs oficer appears briefly too. He works at the airport and is the fellow who accosts Aloho with the suitcase of cocaine. Described by Chief as "that good-for-nothing Customs officer' (p. 48) because the latter does his job as he is supposed to and her contraband and promises to hand her over to JDLEA (acassa Drug Law Enforcement Agency). He announces to Aloho that she is carrying cocaine. He advises patience as she will enough time to call whoever you want later" By pulling out of chief's corrupt ring and exposing Chief's agent, the customs officer shows that it is better to side with society than with debased individuals.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Defence Counsel In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Defence Counsel (p. 96)<br />
He is said to be a tall, slim young man in white wig He pleads "Not guilty" for Chief, being his Defence Counsel. He is an astute lawyer who asks the proper questions in order to dismiss his client s charges. He questions the manner the Detective used to extract information for prosecuting the case. When the Prosecution objects, the Judge cries "objection sustained" (p. 101). All his subsequent objections" are unsustained by the Judge. Through his questions Ogeyi is able to give the details she knew about Chief and his collaborators. The Defence Counsel accuses Ogeyi of being "jealous of the fact that your friend (Aloho) was always coming home with plenty of money and gifts from Chief, the Honourable Minister" (p. 104). This comment draws tears from Ogeyi's eyes for which the Prosecution Counsel prays the Judge to restrain the Defence Counsel "from further vulgarism and insinuations (p. 105). As if he was meeting his client (Chief Haladu) for the first time, the Defence Counsel begins to ask him personal questions which soon irritate the Judge: "Don't continue to waste the time of the Court by (p. basis for those personal questions is to show that Chief, his client, is a man who has served the government o his country in one of the most enviable of a Minister..." (p. 110). He claims that "everybody has been satisfied and his staff in the Ministry speak eloquently of his magnanimity, generosity and 110). When he realizes that clients have been declared "guilty", he pleads both "elemency" and option of fine" (p116) The type of punishment meted out to Chief and his accomplices shows that the Judge does not reckon with the Defence Counsel's line of argument.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Doctor In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Doctor (p. 65)<br />
He is a young man of thirty-five, light-complexioned and slightly bald-headed. He works in Wazobia Hospital in Mabu. It is to him that Aloho goes for abortion when she discovers that she is Rather than contact Chief, she goes straight to this doctor with his fee in her handbag. He is reluctant to carry out the abortion of Aloho's pregnancy but does not reveal this until he had collected the large sum often thousand naira from his patient. It is after this ritual of money exchanging hands that he now asks Aloho if she wants to kill herself by insisting on the pregnancy ofthree months being suddenly aborted.<br />
He postpones the abortion exercise a few times and on one occasion he was almost about to carry out the exercise when Nurse Halimatu rushes in to declare an emergency. From the Doctor's initial reluctance, it is safe to infer that he had arranged this "emergency" with Halimatu. Thus, the Doctor's dilly-dallying strategy stops the abortion and compels Aloho to have her baby, a girl. ordinarily Doctor is pro-life; however, his morality is questionable since he pocketsAloho's ten thousand naira fee without completing the contract between them. His dishonesty is evidenced by his asking Nurse Halimatu to leave us now and please if anybody asks of me, say I am not in, okay!" (p. 75)<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Inspector Inaku In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Inspector Inaku <br />
Inspector Inaku is a detective dressed in mufti. His full name is John Odey Inaku who is a Detective Inspector in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Jacassan Police Force. In his determination to convict Chief and his accomplices, he obtains his evidence against them by bribing Ayo to secure the relevant documents. He secures Ogeyi's story with his "little tape-recorder gesturing for her to speak" (pp. 80-81). In court, he is firm and professional in the manner he presents his case against Chief and his cohorts which must have compelled the court to accept his evidence. Inaku gives the detailed information about Chief, his accessories and Ayo who accepts a bribe of two thousand naira in order to part with documents necessary for the case to be successfully prosecuted. Not withstanding Ayo's usefulness in the suit, he is prosecuted along with the other criminals.<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Judge In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Judge <br />
This Judge is different from Justice odili. He is a devoted law officer who is only out to do justice. He is sprite and business-like. He is keen to get to the heart of the matter as soon as it is possible. "What are the facts of the case?" (p. 96) he asks the Prosecution Counsel once the Defence Counsel submits a "not guilty" plea. At no point does he interrupt either the Defence Counsel or the Prosecution Counsel from explaining their positions fully. However, each time there is a triviality being pursued, particularly by the Defence Counsel, he steps in to nip it in the bud. He overrules unnecessary objections, insists on explicitness in the "choice of words" (p. 103) and demands that all points raised be apposite and relevant. A few times he is humorous in court without losing focus nor fails to ask the necessary questions to move the case forward. His remark before the Jury goes out to give their verdict shows that he stands for justice and fairness. He reminds the jury that "corruption is not a friendly word to the legal institution, therefore anybody who plants corruption should be ready to harvest it' (p. 114) He charges the jury to bear in mind that "justice comes first" (p. 115). In the end, the Judge fearlessly announces the verdict of the jury and goes on to impose the sentences accordingly. <br />

<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Lady<br />
In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Lady <br />
She is not described; he only stops on sighting the madman, calling him "Showboy!" she advises the madman against "disturbing the neighbourhood with your noise She asks the insane man to "stop your noise or else I shall call Police to arrest you for noisemaking and stealing from the neighbourhood" (p. 24). Although it is not clear if the madman has her in mind when he claims that "she used to be my darling wife wen I poor", her saying "when you are poor again you can come and marry me" (p. 25) indicates that the lady believes she is the one being referred to. She describes what "Showboy" is saying as "nonsense" and declares, "I can't waste my time listening to you" (p. 25).<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Madman In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Madman <br />
Called "Showboy" by Lady, madman is said to be dressed in tattered clothes and is "carrying a heavy bundle of tightly wrapped bits and pieces of junk drooping over his face He creates a scene by screaming and abusing no one in particular, while laughing from time to time. He addresses no particular audience when he says: "All of you there" (p. 23). Although his remarks seem uncoordinated they leave a lasting impression on ACP Yakubu. He says, for instance, "I be rich, I be rich man but I never steal anybody property." He also says that he is a rich man "as you see me. I dress fine" (p. 23). If appointed a President by the current President (which is a madman's talk) he will "run dis country well. No stealing" (p. 24). Moreover, he is interested in sanitation, "yes! Evrometa. Yes! Na sanitation we need abi na evrometa by ourselves not de country" (pp. 24-25). What the madman says impels ACP Yakubu into deep thought; the Assistant Commissioner considers the madman as having prescribed a cure for the country's "madness and lawlessness" (p. 25). The madman is a metaphor for the confused state, corruption and value overthrow in Jacassa.<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Madam Hoha In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Madam Hoha <br />
The proprietress of Akpara Hotel at Darkin, she is among Chief's accomplices. She is tall, bulky and "seems to be having a lot out of life" (p. 11). Her skin is said to be velvety, not too light and not too dark but "could pass for ebony description." A well-fed "cash madam", she has "achieved some degree of wealth." The playwright describes her looks as those of "the familiar sight of an eastern Jacassan woman of high society." On both hands there are gold bracelets and on her four fingers gold rings with both cheeks lined by "three parallel marks, which look like the whiskers of a cat' (p. 11). She calls ochuole "the chic", the Lioness" and "Bubbling Baby" and in a moment she gossips about Chief and how his likes will "never regret their retirement because of the chain of companies they float" (p From her comments on the Chief and his ilk and how "all they do is stashing government money somewhere through some conduit pipes for the rainy day" (p. 2), it is clear that she is into abetting Chief in his nefarious activities with her two eyes wide open. It also shows that Madam Hoha is a reckless commentator who does not weigh what she says. Making all that remark against the Chief in front of his mistress shows that indeed she speaks "hoha', meaning without restraint. She has a low opinion of Chief who will easily fall when "we'll dangle this babe (Aloho) before the Chief for a price" after all he will employ her and we can make use of her to get what we want" (p. 13) When she is called "Madam de Madam" by Chief, she responds "It's a matter of cash, Chief" (p l4. Chief orders for drinks and two mortars of ishi-ewu for him and ochuole, Madam Hoha that "she her own. When she receives her largesse, she then yields to Chief joining his girl, and remarks is dying have you already" (p. 15). Madam Hoha's Akpara Hotel is Chief's tryst with his lovers. He<br />
tells Madam Hoha that his girls "are supposed to be here waiting for me and not the other way round" (p. 38). Although we treat her here as a minor character because of her limited role in the play she receives a similar as Ochuole's, having been described as having an insatiable appetit money. Her hotel is thus sealed up "as we cannot continue to be operating havens for criminal activities under the guise of beer parlours (p. 120). <br />

<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Market Woman In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Market Woman <br />
We meet her in Wusa Market where she sells rice of various types- Gwari, Nupe and Uncle Ben's. She beats the price of Gwari rice with Ogeyi until they both agree on eighty naira per mudu. An illiterate woman, she speaks Pidgin English like Alice, the tea girl. She is used by the playwright to show how Ogeyi wisely uses her money in spite of the "little pay" which still compels everyone "to buy in the same market with everybody" (p. 70).<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Mrs Obi In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Mrs Obi <br />
<br />
Chief's secretary, Mrs Obi is a lady of average height, "slim with a good figure." She has on a pair of eyeglasses and is said to be light-complexioned. She is aware that Ochuole is a staff of the Ministry and is close to the Minister but she still insists on the protocol of how to see the Minister, yet without pretending to "risk it" (p. 31). Although Chief has instructed that no one sees him before 12 noon, Mrs Obi violates this rule since she knows the relationship between her boss and young women. Through her we know a bit about the Minister as one who violates his own instructions, and one who fails to follow protocol once women are concerned. Apparently Mrs obi hears little, quite ignorant of what is going on in their office until Ayo gossips to her. Informed that "Madam Aloho" has been caught at the.airport for cocaine-pushing and is "pregnant for oga (Chief, Mrs Obi snaps her fingers and remarks: thought as much. I know that all these games that have been going on will one to light" (p. 79). She describes her boss as "poor man" even as she thinks that he deserves whatever is coming to him whatever a man sows, same shall he reap. I pity (p. 79). Yet when the Sss men come for Chief, she bursts into his office, panting. She senses trouble for Chief bat e latter to be calm about it until he knows that his time is up.<br />

<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Nurse Halimatu In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Nurse Galimatu <br />
A nursing sister, Halimatu works with Doctor in the Wazobia Hospital in Mabu. As the play Scene Five is dressed in "well-standard white apron with a stopwatch and biros of two different<br />
colours decorating the front left breast pocket She has three tribal marks on each of her cheeks, is dark-complexioned and of average height. She is a cautious nurse who speaks to patients in a gentle voice. She is unpretentious and apologizes to Aloho for not recognizing her when next the latter shows up. She is obedient to Doctor and comes to inform him of an emergency when Aloho is about to be handled in the abortion theatre. It is not clear if she precipitated the emergency or not; it is not clear if it had been a ploy since we had read some reluctance on the part of the Doctor to abort Aloho's baby. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of okpotu In Harvest of Corruption</h2>okpotu (p. 90) Twenty-two years old, he is dark complexioned and has three tribal marks on each of his cheeks. He is Aloho's younger brother who comes into Jabu to see Ogeyi from his village. He brings the news of the death of Aloho and the survival of her baby girl. Okpotu is sent to Ogeyi by his father who would want to know the name of the man who had impregnated his daughter. He speaks in a conciliatory tone which suggests that he is not a trouble maker. Rather than be emotional that his sister had died, he asks Ogeyi who is sobbing on hearing Aloho's death to pull herself together, saying, "We all miss her. What can we relations reach Ogeyi whose name she continued to call until she gave up the ghost. He is a grateful fellow who thanks Ogeyi for "all that you did for my sister while she was alive" (p. 92). Without his appearance, it would have been difficult to have the full perspective of the Aloho subplot of the play. namely that she later had a baby, never forgot ogeyi and died thereafter.<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Analysis and Role of Registrar In Harvest of Corruption</h2>Registrar <br />
It is not clear if it is the same Registrar we meet at the cocaine trial as the one we meet at the Chief and his cohorts' assizes in Scene Eight. The Registrar we meet in Scene Three is a stout-looking, elderly man who is dressed in an "Elizabethan age" coat considered to be undersized for his build. Justice Odili asks him to call the first case of the day which he quickly does. Just for saying that the Prosecutor of the case is not present while the defendant's counsels are in court, Justice Odili takes umbrage at him. "Look here, Mr Registrar," Justice odili barks at him, "next time when I ask a question, I expecta direct answer" (p. 51). When next he reminds "My Lord" that the "state prosecutor came to your chamber this morn he is warned "to speak only when you are spoken to." Justice odili goes on to belittle him insisting that he should not "tell all that you see." The reason is that "you may not be able to explain the differences between what you actually see and what you imagined you saw" (p. 52). In Scene Eight the Judge treats him with more respect. There are no threats as he calls out Chief Haladu Ade-Amaka and five others. He reads out Chief's offences without any interruption and asks the jury if they are agreed on the verdict of "guilty" arrived at in the case of Chief and five others to which the Foreman of the Jury responds, "We are agreed'' (p. 116). It is the Registrar that addresses the accused persons and announces what they are convicted of: he it is too who seeks to know if any of them has reasons "why the court should not give you judgement according to the law" Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802817725819444456.post-30627950697596227052016-06-10T04:39:00.000-07:002018-12-23T11:44:56.733-08:00Harvest of Corruption by Frank Ogodo Ogbache- Plot Account & Summary of Havest of Corruption - Roles Of All Characters in Harvest of Corruption -Setting of the play Harvest of Corruption -THEMES OF HARVEST OF CORRUPTION - Poetic Techniques or literary device in the poem At this text you should be able to answer the following question 2.

Aloho is arrested and detained for drug trafficking. Upon her release, she suddenly realizes that she is pregnant for Chief Haladu- Amaka and eventually dies during child-birth.

</h1>
<br/>
1. <h2>Metaphor
</h2>
<br/>
The poem is metaphoric. The two cultures are
likened to the anvil and the hammer: “Caught
between the anvil and the hammer”. The colonial experience leading to the independence of many African nations is described as “the forging house of a new life”. The word “pangs” (like birth pangs) in the third line represents our cultural values.
<br/>
<h2> 2. Repetition
</h2>
<br/>
certain words and their directives are repeated in the poem
(a) "a new life" (1.2) and "new song" (1.4) evoke repetition
(b) " washed (1.7) and "washed" again in line 13 etc
<br/>
<h2> 3. Imagery
</h2> <br/>
The poem contains powerful imagery that helps to deepen the reader’s thoughts. The poet uses many symbols beginning from the use of the words “anvil” and “hammer” which represent clash of cultures. The old African ways are described as follows: The trapping of the past, tender and tenuous/woven with fibre of sisal and/ Washed in the blood of the goat in the fetish hut/. Western civilisation is described as follows: “… flimsy glories of paved streets/ The jargon of a new dialectic comes with the/ Charisma of the perpetual search on the outlaw’s hill”.
<br/>
<h2> 4. Oxymoron:
</h2> A figure of speech in which
contradictory terms appear together. Example:
“ flimsy glories“.
<br/>
<h2> 5. Antithesis:
</h2> Sew the old days for us, our
fathers,/That we can wear them under our new
garment,
<br/>
<h2> 6. Alliteration:
</h2> Example- The trapping of the
past, tender and tenuous

<h1>The themes of Mortality The Panic of Growing Older</h1>The poem is primarily centred on the mortality of human existence. We are born, we move about clothed in our various ambitions, quite buoyant and vibrant. Then, we step into a sober life of domesticity followed by a period of self-evaluation of where we may have done well and where we had performed badly. Our share of age is 70 although science promises "twice three score and ten." But this is only a promise, nothing to hold on to as it has not yet materialized.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1>2.The Theme of The twist in human fate The Panic of Growing Older</h1> Life is full of expectations. Man creates for himself these expectations. Life starts with strength and activities and ends with closetness/domesticity and a plummeting sense of satisfaction. Age comes with lots of hope, of what is to be achieved. One leaps up and down in an effort to achieve these hopes. But age is a period of self-assessment which may not be fully satisfying. Age comes as a contrast between optimism and the practical outcome which may not be as had been anticipated. In this way, life may after all be a movement from activity to docility, from high hopes to be realized to ordinariness<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1>3.The Theme of Anxiety associated with ageing in The Panic of Growing Older</h1>The "panic" having to do with growing old is tied to what one had set out to achieve and the reality of one having spent or about to consummate one's span of existence. Although there are people who had come into this world achieving so much for themselves and for humanity, the poet's persona is a failure, and so the lots of much of humanity. It is about such people that the poet formulated his poem Thus the poet writes "on the average" what happens in human existence. In other words, the initial excitement in youthfulness does not often last into old age.<br />
<br />
<h1>4. The the of Man engages the world as in a contest in The Panic of Growing Older</h1>In the poem, it is as ifhumans are engaged in a contest of will with the world or with life. Youthfulness is imbued with lots oflife and energy. However, with age this energy dissipates with little or noachievement to credit to life itself. What man achieves is no more than what does not require a specialist's effort to achieve. Thus, it is as if man sets out to conquer the world but has himself been conquered by the<br />

<h2>
The Themes Of Political Revolution And Struggle For Freedom In Gbanabom Hallowell’s “The Dining Table” </h2>
The Dining Table by Gbanabom Hallowell is a political dissention poem; no dispute about that. Such led the content of the poem to germinate the themes of political revolution and struggle for freedom. <br />
<br />
Political revolution always leads to chaotic atmospheric situations which is not different from Hallowell’s sympathetic narration. The revolutionary picture of the poem revealed brutality, desperate inhumanity to humans, the use of guns and harmful weapons. On top of that, the victims were placed in condition of homelessness. Victims homelessness gathered every age to the so-called “dinner table”; including the sleepless barefooted children with eyes so sharp and alert like switchblades because the effect of the war or sudden attack had taken away their peace and clipped their voices with silence. <br />
<br />
On the side of "the struggle for freedom", the gathering as portrayed by the poet motivates the need for freedom. Common to nights of every assaults, abnormal alertness backed by fear was evident in the poem because the people gathered in an insecure place “where guerillas walk the land while crocodiles surf”; their freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom to live are totally reduced. Their highest wish would be to acquire their deprived freedom. <br />
<br />
The poem speaker made the readers to realise how strong revenge was in his heart but the fatigue and pains the bullets have caused, made his/her revolutionary intention so impossible: “Under the spilt milk of the moon, I promise to be a revolutionary, but my Nile, even without tributaries come lazy upon its own Nile.” <textarea> The Themes Of “The Dining Table” The Themes Of Political Revolution And Struggle For Freedom In Gbanabom Hallowell’s “The Dining Table” The Dining Table by Gbanabom Hallowell is a political dissention poem; no dispute about that.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This
long narrative poem captures the downfall of a powerful king from riches to rags
due to his hubris. His personality flaw lies in pride. Due to the enormous wealth
and authority he exerts, King Jovinian exhibits royal arrogance. He feels that he
is more than a man and places himself on equal status with God. To him, he cannot
die. He has assumed immortality. Because of this, God decides to humble King Jovinian.</span></div>
<h3>
<b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">THEMES IN WILLIAM MORRIS'
"THE PROUD KING"</span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">William
Morris' "The Proud King" is one that has so many themes embedded in
it. Some of these numerous themes are:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">1.
Pride goes before a fall</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The
poem insinuate to the biblical teaching of pride and its repercussions, which
is projected through the actions of the epic hero, King Jovinian. The key
ideology of the poem validates the authenticity of the popular biblical proposition,
"God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble". <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">2.
The supremacy of God</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">God
is a Supreme Being and will never hesitate to prove his supremacy when the need
be. When King Jovinian assumes the position of a god due to his influence and
affluence, God reduced him to a common madman until he admits that God gave him
all that he has. The theme of Supremacy: The poet proves that the supremacy of
God is far better than that of the King Jovinian. Jovinian's supremacy<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">makes
him maintain fear and respect for his positions and possessions<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">but
the supremacy of God ripped him off his power and possesions, shamed him and reduced
him to nothing in the eyes of everyone; "The hot sun sorely<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">burned
his naked skin" (in line 100). The angel finally revealed<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">himself
to King Jovinian from line 719-728:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">3. The
theme of Arrogance: King Jovinian's arrogance went far even in</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">his
situation of wretchedness, he was arrogantly approaching the nobles; he<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">was
banging the palace gate with a very heavy stone in line 143-144<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">"He
hurdled himself against the mighty gate/ And beat upon it madly<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">with
a stone" and in line 215-217, he was shouting at the ranger;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">"Armies
will rise up when I nod my head/ Slay me! _or cast thy<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">treachery
away/ And have anew my favour from this day."</span></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">4. The theme of Repentance: Without repentance, the proud king</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">wouldn't
have regain his power, possessions and wealth. King Jovinian was<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">potrayed
in the poem in different forms. He began to wear heart of<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">regret;
"Muttered, I wish the day would ne'er come back/ If all that<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">once

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">fresh

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">347-349)

they say " All things must come to an end". No who you are or the
position you hold in the society, you will surely sleep in the cold hands of death
when the time is due. King Jovinian thinks his affluence, titles, influence and
other worldly fortunes can immortalise him or save him from dying like his
predecessors. Thus,this is an utopian thought coming from an conceited king. At
the latter part of the poem, it is revealed that he eventually King Jovinian
dies and another king reigns afterwards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

power corrupts ultimately.</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In
this poem, William Morris reveals how power corrupts mortal men. King Jovinian
is intoxicated by power. His disdainful and vain acts are products of his
affluence and influence, which he gained through power. The Ranger is not left
out here. In stanza 36, we are meant to understand that he is enthusiastic with
his earthly gains and position that after King Jovinian leaves his presence, he
orders his servants to bring in a musician to play in sweet melodies. He is
delighted with his achievements and grateful to the king (instead of God) for
the grace that he has enjoyed. This also shows that the Ranger is happy for
King Jovinian's misfortune hence his sarcastic gratitude to him (Jovinian).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The
language of William Morris' "The Proud King" is simple (that is,
easily comprehensible) and conversational; and as an epic poem, it is narrative
in nature. The poem is also spiced with Elizabethan lexicons such as
"thou" (L. 269), "thy" (L. 187), which are present in the
religious register of the medieval period within which this poem is set. The
presence of such lexicons does not only project the setting of the poem, but
also portrays it as a religious poem, aimed at revealing the evil consequences
of pride.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

D) in Literature in English from the University of Ilorin in 1997.<br /><br />2)STUDY GUIDE<br /><br />Setting<br />Though set in the rural rustic village of Kufi, Lonely Days mirrors the plight of widows in the larger Nigerian society and indeed in Africa as a whole. Much of the story revolves around Yaremi, the novel’s protagonist.<br /><br />Plot<br />The novel opens with Yaremi recalling the events leading to the death of her husband, Ajumobi and her predicament thereafter. While mourning Ajumobi’s death, Yaremi suffered great humiliation from extended family who strongly believed that she was responsible for her husband’s death. She became very lonely, not only as a result of Ajumobi’s death, but also because her two daughters, Segi and Wura, who would have kept her company, had been married off. Her only son, Alani who lived in the city had become so urbanised that he hardly visited Kufi. Yaremi had to fend for herself and take up manly roles. For instance, she had to farm all by herself and clear the bushes around her home in addition to her main job of selling taffeta products.<br /><br />Yaremi was a very strong and hardworking woman. She got little help and some company from Woye, her grandson who lived with her. Yaremi enjoyed recounting her interesting childhood experiences to Woye in the form of stories while working on taffeta clothes. Through these stories, Woye learnt how to count numbers and also learnt the importance of hardwork and resilience.<br /><br />Besides Yaremi, there were three other widows in Kufi who had gone through similar ordeals. They often empathised and shared their widowhood experiences with one another whenever they met on the narrow road leading to the village river. One of them was Dedewe who was tortured and humiliated by her husband’s relatives. Dedewe was made to sit alone by her husband’s corpse in a dark room and also compelled to own up to offences she never committed. Another widow, Fayoyin suffered similar fate. Her hair was badly shaved and she was forced to lick libation. The third widow, Radeke was also accused of killing her husband. These accusations stem from the people’s superstitious belief that no death was natural; hence, a husband’s death must have been caused by his wife.<br /><br />Through Yaremi’s reminiscences, the author introduces his readers to Ajumobi. Ajumobi was a brave and powerful hunter who enjoyed boasting of his prowess as a successful hunter. In his lifetime, he was firm and had absolute control of his household. Ajumobi was a happy and lively man. Like most men in Kufi, he liked drinking palmwine in the company of friends. He was quite ambitious. Prior to his death, he planned to renovate his house and even take a second wife. Yaremi loved her husband greatly and in spite of their many squabbles in his lifetime, she missed his affection and companionship.<br /><br />Yaremi was economically self-reliant and assertive. Most men in Kufi resented her as they expected their women to always play second fiddle or be in a subordinate position to them. Like other widows in Kufi, Yaremi was expected to remarry by all means. Radeke, Fayoyin and Dedewe had gone through the cap picking ceremony where they chose new men to replace their deceased husbands.<br />Yaremi resisted all pressure and chose to remain unmarried. She demonstrated her resolve by turning down proposals from three suitors and refusing to pick up a cap at the cap picking ceremony organised to facilitate her remarriage. As a result, the village elders threatened to confiscate her husband’s property and banish her from the village. The story ends with Yaremi taking off her widowhood garment and expressing a renewed determination to remain in Kufi in spite of all odds.<br /><br />Themes<br />i.) Widowhood or The plight of widows:<br /><br />The theme of widowhood is the novel’s central theme. The widows in Lonely Days were subjected to pain and humiliation. The widowhood experiences of Yaremi, Dedewe, Fayoyin and Radeke are a miscrosm of the plight of widows in the larger Nigerian society and in the African continent as a whole. The author condemns widow inheritance, forced remarriage and other cultural practices that subject widows to pain and humiliation.<br /><br />ii.) Loneliness:<br /><br />Another important theme that runs through the novel is the theme of loneliness. Yaremi was very lonely and had to do most things by herself. For instance, she had to appeal to Uncle Deyo, Ajumobi’s friend to assist in mending her leaking roof and rebuilding the walls of her house.<br /><br />iii.) Humiliation:<br /><br />Yaremi suffered humiliation from extended relations who accused her of killing her husband. Dedewe, Fayoyin and Radeke also suffered humiliation. For instance, Dedewe was made to sit in a dark room by her husband’s corpse while Fayoyin’s hair was badly shaved. Hardwork or Diligence: The theme of diligence is expressed by Yaremi’s industrious character. The author uses several anecdotes to encourage hardwork.<br /><br />iv) Male chauvinism:<br /><br />This is a belief or notion usually held by men that women are inferior to them. Yaremi suffered resentment from most men in Kufi because of her self-reliant and assertive status.<br /><br />v.) Survival, Resilience and Determination:<br /><br />Yaremi had the will and the determination to survive in spite of her predicament as a widow. She worked very hard to earn a decent living and refused to be cowed into accepting traditional injunctions of widow inheritance and remarriage set by her society.<br /><br />vi.) Superstitions:<br /><br />The novel explains how superstitious beliefs impact on people’s behaviour. For instance, wives were accused of killing their husbands because of the belief that someone had to be responsible for every death. They also suspected feathered creatures like birds as they were usually linked to witchcraft.<br /><br />vii.) Death:<br /><br />In Kufi, the people believed that there were good and bad deaths. Yaremi consoled herself with the notion that Ajumobi died a good death. It was also believed that the dead people watch over the living. This explains Yaremi’s many monologues addressed to her late husband, Ajumobi.</span><br />

Metaphor<br /><br />This is a figure of speech that equates two things that are not the same. Comparison is done without the use of “as” or “like”. In Lonely Days, the number game, for instance, has a lot of metaphors in it. Page 8 paragraph 3 reads: “Three is the dirty calabash on my mother’s wooden rack…”. See also paragraphs 4, 6, 7, and 8. You may also see paragraphs 1 to 6 of page 10. Another use of metaphoric expression is seen on page 9 paragraph 3 when Yaremi said “Work was music to us, Woye.” See also the last paragraph of Page 15 where the author directly compares life with fire by saying “Life is fire”. The slippery and narrow river road in Chapter 3 is equally metaphoric. It is directly described as the “Widows’ Road” on which widows thread with caution. The author’s description of a new wife on page 58 also contains a number of metaphors-“A new wife is a polished drum…”; she is a fresh lily…”<br /><br />2. Simile<br /><br />This is a figure of speech that compares two non-similar things by the use of “as” or “like”. The author uses simile to describe Yaremi’s loneliness- “Yaremi felt thoroughly abandoned, like a stone at the bottom of a lake” (page 3); “… the extended family’s mockery heaped on her like the strange showers of a January rain” (page 3). Uncle Deyo used simile in describing Alani’s long stay in the city- “You flew away, Alani, like a bird with no destination; like a stone-missile flung aimlessly to an unknown destination from the leather-strap of a catapult”. (page 135)<br /><br />3. Personification<br /><br />This is a figure of speech in which human attributes are given to inanimate objects. An example is seen on page 60 paragraph 1- “the moon peeped and vanished, to reappear playfully again among the woods, seducing onlookers’ souls with serene beauty…” 4. Hyperbole: An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally. It’s used for emphasis and comic effect. Ajumobi’s boastings in page 50 contain a lot of hyperbole.<br /><br />5. Rhetorical Questions:<br /><br />These are questions that do not require answers. Yaremi asked lots of rhetorical questions on page 69- “where are you now, Ajumobi?” is an example of a rhetorical question. Segi also asked rhetorical questions on pages 126 and 127 where she raised questions on remarriage.<br /><br /><br />5) IMPORTANT LITERARY DEVICES<br /><br />Exposition:<br /><br />Exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information about the characters, setting and events to the reader. In Lonely Days, the author explains the character of Ajumobi, the marital life of Ajumobi and Yaremi, and events leading up to the death of Ajumobi through Exposition. This exposition is presented through Yaremi’s thoughts, dialogues between Yaremi and Ajumobi as well as monologues.<br /><br />Falling Action<br /><br />The falling action in a work of literature is the sequence of events that follow the climax and end in the resolution. In Lonely Days the falling action occurs after Yaremi refused to pick a cap at the cap-picking ceremony: She suffered great resentment from the villagers because of her decision not to remarry. They also threatened to banish her from the village and confiscate her husband’s properties.<br /><br />Rising Action<br /><br />Rising action is what happens in a story leading up to the most exciting part of the story. In Lonely Days, the rising action occurs where Yaremi’s extended family planned to organise a cap picking ceremony to facilitate her remarriage and her co-widows (Fayoyin, Radeke and Dedewe) tried to persuade her to choose a husband at the cap-picking ceremony.<br /><br />Climax<br /><br />is the part of the story where the tension or action reaches its highest point. In Lonely Days, the climax occurs at the cap-picking ceremony when Yaremi refused to choose a suitor by picking a cap.<br /><br />Resolution<br /><br />Resolution is the part of the story’s plot line in which the problem of the story is resolved or worked out. It comes after the falling action and it is typically where the story ends. In Lonely Days, the resolution occurs when Yaremi resolved to remain in Kufi in spite of the village elders’ threat to confiscate her husband’s properties and banish her from the village.<br />6) LIKELY QUESTIONS<br /><br />1.

Dreaming of becoming a police officer is a great dream. Apart from the fact that police officers are paid handsomely, their salaries are always regular. There are hardly cases of unpaid salaries, and this is a really great thing in a country like Nigeria. Furthermore, dreaming of becoming a police officer shows that an individual has a great interest in serving the country — this a great thing expected to be seen in all Nigerians, service to the country and humanity. { <i><strong>Nigeria Police Academy School Fees</strong> </i>}<br />

<br />
<h2>
Short Summary </h2>
<br />
In Dependence tells the story of Tayo Ajayi, a Nigerian man who gets a scholarship to study at Oxford in the 1960s, and Vanessa Richardson, the daughter of an ex-colonial officer. While it is a story of their love which spans from 1963 to 1998, it's way more than that. It's also a story about Nigeria, its independence and the changes that occur in the country post-independence - the Biafran war, the first coup and the numerous countercoups, military dictatorships, the brief return to civilian rule, exile of Nigerians, and towards the end of the book the eventual return to democracy. There are also issues of race, racism and cultural differences. We see Tayo, Vanessa, as well as a host of other characters, live their lives amidst all these issues. <br />
<br />
Tayo is an intelligent man but he always seems to do wrong. He tries to do the right thing, never wants to hurt anyone but in the end he does, especially the women in his life - and there are quite a number of women in his life that he hurts. <br />
Vanessa, on the other hand, dreams of being a journalist writing on African issues, marrying Tayo and moving with him to Nigeria to start a new life. Unfortunately life gets in the way and a host of things prevent most of her dreams from coming true. She does end up living one of her dreams - being a world renowned journalist on African issues. <br />
<br />
Tayo and Vanessa end up living their lives independent of each other but no matter what they did, and where they were, the thoughts and love they had for each other lingered on (even though the other didn't necessarily know). I guess love really does stand the test of time. <br />

Role of Major Characters of the novel in dependence by by Sarah Ladipo Manyika </h2>
<br />
<h2>
1. Tayo </h2>
Tayo is the protagonist/main character of the novel. He is an intelligent man but he always seems to do wrong. He tries to do the right thing, never wants to hurt anyone but in the end he does, especially the women in his life - and there are quite a number of women in his life that he hurts.<br />
<br />
<h2>
2. Vanessa </h2>
Vanessa, on the other hand, dreams of being a journalist writing on African issues, marrying Tayo and moving with him to Nigeria to start a new life. Unfortunately life gets in the way and a host of things prevent most of her dreams from coming true. She does end up achieving one of her dreams - being a world renowned journalist on African issues.<br />
<br />
<h2>
3. Christine </h2>
Christine is the Nigerian woman that first caught Tayo’s eye. Christine is shown as an opinionated woman that does not shy away from engaging men in intellectual conversation. However, this character is killed off too quickly in the novel and the reason for her death—suicide, was not very convincing. It was hard to picture Christine as a love struck and defeated woman who would kill herself.<br />
<br />
<h2>
4. Jane </h2>
Vanessa’s cousin who is quite outspoken about her sexual encounter.<br />
<br />
<h2>
5. Vanessa’s Father </h2>
He was a colonial master in Nigeria before 1960. He is against Tayo marrying his daughter and has refused to accept Vanessa’s adopted half-cast son. He seemed more racial against half-casts earlier in the novel confronting Tayo about his fears for a half-cast grandchild. It was later understood that his hatred for the blacks was as a result of an affair his wife had with a black man during the colonial era.<br />

<h2>
About the Novel </h2>
In Dependence was published in the UK in 2008; in Nigeria in 2009 and in the US in 2011. It is Sarah Ladipo Manyika’s debut novel. The novel begins in the early 1960s when Tayo Ajayi meets Vanessa Richardson, the beautiful daughter of an ex-colonial officer. Their story, which spans three continents and four turbulent decades, is that of a brave but bittersweet love affair. It is the story of individuals struggling to find their place within uncertain political times – a story of passion and idealism, courage and betrayal.<br />
<br />
<br />
Although, In Dependence can suitably pass for a love story, it is far more than that, as it also traces the journey of the political history of Nigeria; the military coups, the bad and deceitful leadership and its experimental steps towards democracy/civilian rule. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also, it brings the social realities of Nigeria into light- a situation where the poor gets poorer everyday without any improvement. With the events surrounding Tayo’s life, Sarah Manyika brings to limelight the effects of bad governance on the country’s tertiary institutions (universities) and the ensuing massive brain drain that Africa has experienced. There are also issues of racial discrimination and cultural dichotomy and we see Tayo, Vanessa and other characters live their lives amidst these issues.<br />
<br />
<br />
Outside the political spheres, In Dependence is Tayo and Vanessa's story of a brave but bittersweet love affair. It is the story of two people struggling to find themselves and each other - a story of passion and idealism, courage and betrayal, and the universal desire to fall, madly and deeply in love.<br />
<br />
<br />
Furthermore, it is a convincing narrative on the price we pay for the decisions we make in our lives, whether right or wrong; and life sometimes is just about doing what makes you happy regardless of people's opinions. Unfortunately, most of African cultures reject such philosophy. For us, life is not only about the individual but also about family, relatives, communities, tradition, culture etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
Through an authentic and objective voice, the novelist ensures that all these realities that characterize Nigeria and Africa at large are adequately portrayed in her story. <br />

<textarea> Analysis of the novel 'IN DEPENDENCE' by Sarah Ladipo Manyika's Short Summary In Dependence tells the story of Tayo Ajayi, a Nigerian man who gets a scholarship to study at Oxford in the 1960s, and Vanessa Richardson, the daughter of an ex-colonial officer. While it is a story of their love which spans from 1963 to 1998, it's way more than that. It's also a story about Nigeria, its independence and the changes that occur in the country post-independence - the Biafran war, the first coup and the numerous countercoups, military dictatorships, the brief return to civilian rule, exile of Nigerians, and towards the end of the book the eventual return to democracy. There are also issues of race, racism and cultural differences. We see Tayo, Vanessa, as well as a host of other characters, live their lives amidst all these issues. Tayo is an intelligent man but he always seems to do wrong. He tries to do the right thing, never wants to hurt anyone but in the end he does, especially the women in his life - and there are quite a number of women in his life that he hurts. Vanessa, on the other hand, dreams of being a journalist writing on African issues, marrying Tayo and moving with him to Nigeria to start a new life. Unfortunately life gets in the way and a host of things prevent most of her dreams from coming true. She does end up living one of her dreams - being a world renowned journalist on African issues. Tayo and Vanessa end up living their lives independent of each other but no matter what they did, and where they were, the thoughts and love they had for each other lingered on (even though the other didn't necessarily know). I guess love really does stand the test of time. More Summary 'IN DEPENDENCE' by Sarah Ladipo Manyika's It is September 1963 and Nigeria is three years into its independence from colonial rule. The young Tayo Ajayi prepares to set sail for England where he has been accepted into Oxford University on a scholarship. Nigeria and Africa are abuzz with independence fervor. The continent is also at the beginning of its journey towards an expected bright and self-determined future. In Oxford, Tayo joins other young students, African and British, who talk about the Civil Rights Movement, the cultural and sexual revolutions, and about apartheid in South Africa. Malcolm X visits his college. It’s a rarefied world of the future leaders and intellectuals of Africa and the children of the old World order and the British Empire. Tayo meets and falls in love with Vanessa Richardson, British colonial officer’s daughter. And they negotiate their relationship against a background of race and racism. Most notably, Vanessa’s father openly discourages any talk of marriage, implying that Tayo is not a suitable match for his daughter. Tayo also worries whether his family back in Nigeria will accept Vanessa. The couple’s relationship hits a stumbling block when Tayo is recalled to Nigeria to attend to his sick father. Tayo and Vanessa will find themselves again after 3 decades and a lifetime of events that will see their families ripped apart and a continent’s promise of a golden independence broken. In Dependence is described as a love story. But it is more than that. It tracesthe trajectory of Nigeria’s political history; the military coups, the bad and treacherous leadership, and its renewed tentative steps towards democracy. It speaks to the demise (in the 1980s) of Nigeria’s international.reputation and the country’s rapidly destabilizing reality. It looks at the poor whose situation never improved but actually worsened. Using events in Tayo’s life, it. describes the effects of misrule on the country’s universities and the ensuing massive brain drain that Africa experienced in the 1980s. The author achieves all this with a voice and an outlook that is truly authentic and objective. I loved the scenes in the 1960s. I’m a child of 1970s Africa. My generation never had its golden moments. We were born in the long shadow cast by the events of the 1960s but came of age in an Africa gone horribly wrong. This novel displays the stark difference between these two eras. Ultimately though, it is the love and the nature of the relationship between Tayo and Vanessa that captivates. There is a lightness and an intellectual buoyancy when the couple is together. Conversely, there is a flatness and a heaviness when they are apart. Cleverly, the years of destruction and decay in Nigeria occurs during their separation. As such, tumultuous events in Africa mirror the upheavals in their relationship. Tayo is more engaging, more open when loved reappears. And the reader is treated once again to intellectual discourse on race, identity, post-colonial expectations and disappointments, Last Summary of 'IN DEPENDENCE' by Sarah Ladipo Manyika's In the early sixties a young Nigerian Tayo Ajayi was granted scholarship to study abroad in Oxford University. Where he met a lot of Nigerians like himself, with whom they formed the most important African Association on campus. Life was bubbling over with excitement. He was in favour of Nigerian independence and was involved with the Civil Rights movements and all the revolutions of that time. Meanwhile, he met Vanessa Richardson, whose ideas on African politics do not differ much from his; even though, she was the daughter of a racist ex-colonial officer. They fell head over hill with each other. However, seemingly, their love could not survive the pressure of racism. Especially, since Vanessa's father was a self proclaimed racist and Tayo's doubts with regard to Vanessa fitting in his tightly knit polygamous Yoruba family. One thing led to another; hence, they miserably came to a parting of the ways. In Dependence is the story of two people who were madly in love with each other but could not stay together due to the racist preconception of their time. It is not a romance novel per se and should not be categorised as such. Nevertheless, it is a serious novel that convincingly narrates on the price we pay for the decisions we make in our life, whether right or wrong. And life sometimes is just about doing what makes you happy independently of other people's opinion. At the end it is your life. Unfortunately, most of African culture reject such philosophy, for us life is not only about the individual but also about family, relatives, communities, tradition, culture and the list goes on. Additionally, the characters were so realistic that I could feel them. The novel also covered the political changes that took place in Nigeria, such as the independence, the coups, the civil war, military regime, dictatorship and back again to democracy. </textarea> <br />
