Overview

Description Okonofua Junior, an undergraduate student at the Metropolitan university of Benin or MUB, is put against formidable obstacles in the HOME, at SCHOOL, at the RELIGIOUS PREMISES and the ordinarily perceived PLAYGROUNDS of old Bendel state of Nigeria. At home he must face his stepmother Omoakhuana. At school is Amadasun. Mo Debe Edegbe is for the church. And the playgrounds have to do with Ojame as a friend's older cousin with a wounded ego. They claimed Okonofua was mad. Here also, we saw the exploration of his riotous relationship with the extroverted Ekaette. Is it madness or a spiritual progress? For what the lead character Okonofua Junior lost the others gained. He lost his madness and Ekaette to Edegbe, family wealth to his stepmother, university lectureship to Amadasun and social status to Ojame. Okonofua Junior, on the other hand, had the good life of a practical ethicist with poetic wisdom in a contemporary Benin city of chaos, love, lesbianism, linguistics, revenge, domestic family squabbles, self-reliance, spirituality, entrepreneurial efforts, Edo cosmology, aesthetics and corruption.
