Description
Journalist Dede Daro returns from the United States, where he had taken a graduate degree at one of the universities. Dede's return is the buzz of Warri, with the elders proclaiming they had expected him to go far. In contrast to Dede's triumphant return, Franka, who experienced some dire deprivations in early life, and whose sense of judgement seems to have been marred by the blight of poverty, makes questionable decisions. Her marriage to Dede ended in a bitter divorce, and while Dede meets another woman, Furu, with whom he was to know some kind of plenitude of his spirit, Franka descends from one fruitless relationship to another until she ends up in the bed of General Ogiso, the semi-literate and murderous military president of the country.
