_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Observation

Candidates were expected to discuss the following points.

  • Papa Nnukwu is a symbol of tradition in the novel. 

through him we see the traditional religion in practice.

  • He refuses to be lured by flashy gifts to change his principles.  His rejection of a bigger house and car from his son as a bribe to dump his traditional religion shows that he is principled.

 

  • Papa Nnukwu knows his right, he insists that his grandchildren must visit him, a request that Eugene grants grudgingly.
  • Papa Nnukwu is a humorist, a good entertainer to his grandchildren.

 

  • He is not fanatical about his own religion and he prays for everybody including his enemies.

          
         Candidates’ performance was good.
