Question 4

FRANK OGODO OGECHE: Harvest of Corruption

 

Examine Chief as representative of the political class in the play.


Observation

 

A good number of candidates attempted this question. Most of them simply identified Chief as a politician and did not describe him as corrupt.

The required answers should include:

  • • Theme of endemic corruption in society, chiefly linked to Chief as an important representative of the political class.
  • • Chief’s action as government minister.
  • • Chief’s engagement in drug trafficking.
  • • Chief’s promiscuity.
  • • The long arm of state power in dealing justice on Chief.

 

Candidates’ performance in this question was poor.
