Baba Ijebu

Owing to family pressure from village, Akhigbe, a Nigerian Railway Corporation retiree relocates from Lagos to his remote village against his wife's approval. She refused to relocate with him because she dreaded the hard life in the village and the fear of the unknown. Following his brother's advice, Akhigbe married a young village girl called Odueki to keep body and soul together. He eventually won a huge amount of money from the Baba Ijebu Jackpot. But will he live to enjoy the money? As his young village wife nurtured a separate plan to organize with his secret lover to steal the money. She planned to travel to Italy with the proceeds. Tragedy struck at last as things went terribly wrong from both ends. Baba Ijebu is a voyage around modern realities in our social life. Watch out for this stormy page turner story and more at the forthcoming Historic: Ewu Book Fair Mid-Nov 2018 @ Kings Star Hotel, Ewu Edo State.
