the absolute power
The Drama ‘THE ABSOLUTE POWER’ is a satiric play, which mocks the activities of our corrupt politicians. It mirrors how few people, placed at the helm of affairs, share national cake, for their selfish interest. The play is an apocalyptic satire. It prophesies the looming danger in the future, if our political leaders are not careful. However, the most unfortunate thing about the masses is that they are not aware of their collective power! The struggle continues until masses wake up from their SLUMBER!
silent riddles of fate
Night descends on the sleepy town of Umuocha. Bolts of lightning tear at the dark sky and deep growls of thunder rage in the background. A rainstorm is imminent. It is cold and silent with howling wind and whispering voices coursing across the shanty huts as the heavens suddenly open in the pitch darkness. The isolated pitter-patter of hurrying footsteps of drenched villagers and splashes of raindrops occasionally pierce the void. But in the dank room of Ujunwa, a commoner, there are no hushed sounds; only moaning as she writhes in pain from childbirth labour. She is alone, stoic, and steely. In the same hour in the neighbouring kingdom of Umuakpi, there are moanings also and with groanings. The moaner is King Umeh, the ruthless monarch in Umuakpi. He turns and twists on his royal bed from a troubling dream. At dawn, Okosisi, Umeh’s sly and trusted soothsayer, saunters into the secret chambers of King Umeh and tells him his night dream foretells of the birth of a seed of the gods who will be king and rule “far and wide.” But he assures the worried king the gods have also said, “No man shall take your kingdom away from you.” Not completely satisfied, both men hatch a devious plan to steal the child and raise him as a prince of Umuakpi. But three seasons later and on the eve of another conquest for King Umeh, Onyinye (or Agu), the now-grown crown prince, finds he must first conquer a battle of his own identity and restore balance in all the lands for his own sake and the destiny of the Greater Anioma kingdom. He knows this could change everything... for good or for bad... forever.

oduduwa - king of the edos
“ODUDUWA, KING OF THE EDOS” is a play, which explores the true identity of an ancient African King who was believed amongst numerous competing historical accounts to have come down from the heavens (skies) to found the present day Yoruba people of South-Western Nigeria. It attempts to draw congruence between mythical accounts of his origin which are found in the oral traditions of the Edos of present day Mid-Western Nigeria, those of the Yorubas of Ile-Ife in particular, and Western Nigeria in general, while imagining an explanation as to the divergence in their accounts. It seeks to answer the questions: was Oduduwa a god that ruled men, the first creation of the supreme God, an exiled Edo prince or was he a mere mortal whose leadership qualities became legendary and thus exalted him to the status of the progenitor of the Yorubas?
