Question 3

    FRANK OGODO OGECHE: Harvest of Corruption

     

    Comment on Aloho as a victim of circumstance in the play.


Observation

 

This was a popular question. However, candidates narrated Aloho's story without showing how she becomes a victim of circumstance in the play.

 

The following points were expected from the candidates:

• Aloho's years in the university with her friends, Ogeyi and Ochuole.

• Her desperation for a job after graduation to enable her take care of herself and family.

• Her meeting with Ochuole who introduces her to the minister of External Relations, her boss.

• The Minister's exploitation of Aloho for sex and drug trafficking.

• Her arrest, imprisonment, release and pregnancy.

 

Candidates' performance in this question was fair.
