Description
Ijeuwa portrays vividly and sensitively the political, economic, social and religious disillusionments of an English graduate, an archetypal unemployed 21st century Nigerian graduate. The novel captures the traumatic travelogues of thousands of Nigerian graduates swarming the streets aimlessly engendered by the prevalent unemployment and the political system. Ijeuwa is a novel of disillusionment. It chronicles the plight of the Nigerian graduates and populace trapped in the tides of unemployment and insecurity. It creates a vivid portrait of their psychology. Ijeuwa is the travails of graduates and the unemployed in 21st century Nigeria. The novel portrays the spirit of struggle and the will to survive of the masses. The novel is a mirror of the society and a critique of Nigerian democracy. The novel portrays the Nigerian government as rotten to the teeth and grossly irresponsible as the masses suffer untold hardship and travails in a country immensely and richly endowed with natural and artificial resources. The writer envisions the neglect of the masses by the government as the prologue to anarchy in the society and the epilogue to security in all its ramifications. The novel is a sublime creation of the writers artistic ingenuity with a compelling theme and plot. It is the writers mirror of his society and time. The novel is an impressive and ardent attempt to capture the realism of the writers time.
