The Lost Okoroshi

Fed up with the soulless city and the way its dwellers have lost touch with their ancestral traditions, Raymond Obinwa yearns for re-connection between man, spirit and traditional society. He awakens one morning to seek out he has transformed into a standard Igbo masquerade Okoroshi. In his new form, Raymond/Okoroshi triggers on a search to seek out a replacement range in the town . Along the way, he encounters brassy sex-worker Doris, street hustler Willy-Willy – who is convinced of Okoroshi’s earning potential – and witnesses the idle chit-chat of conspicuous pseudo-spiritual authority the IPSSHRR (The Igbo People’s association for Heritage, Restoration and Reclamation). Abba Makama’s sharp satire pulls apart the threads of Nigerian society, reaching back to the nation’s rich history as how of addressing its potentially bleak future. tt10888456
