Question 4

    FRANK OGODO OGECHE: Harvest of Corruption

     

    Consider Aloho as a foil to Ogeyi.


Observation

 

Few candidates attempted this question. Most of the candidates that answered this question did not know the meaning of foil, hence they narrated the characters of Aloho and Ogeyi.

 

The following points were expected from the candidates:

* Their physical appearance and time in the university.

* Ogeyi’s ‘born-again’ adherence to her Christain faith which protects her against wealth and worldly success vis-a-vis Aloho’s rather worldly pursuit.

* Aloho’s apparent ‘success’ and failure after being arrested for drug trafficking and being released.

* Aloho’s pregnancy, attempt to abort the baby and dying later while Ogeyi stays the course and is the advising her friend against her actions.

* Ogeyi’s effort to bring Aloho’s adversaries to book.

 

Candidates’ performance in this question was fair.
