An Ibo community sends a local man to be educated in England to return and become a member of the senior government service in Lagos. This at a time when England still had control and the give and take of bribery was expected. He resists as long as he can, yet the inevitable happens. One bribe taken deserves another until he is caught. Not unlike politics and big business as we know it today. This is a real slice of life, no matter the setting. Read it!
