Frances W. Pritchett writes about how she became interested in Igbo language after meeting and hosting a Nigerian Igbo student.

“In learning about a language one also learns about the culture that produced it–the beliefs, traditions, habits, attitudes, ways of making a living, interpretations of natural surroundings, ideas about marriage, children, etc. I discovered that my Eurocentric education had left me
sadly ignorant about Africa, so I began to educate myself by reading books by African writers. “Things Fall Apart,” by Chinua Achebe, had a great impact on me.I developed a desire to see for myself this milieu that was clearly so different from my own.”

women, are characterized by subtle coercions, decoys, and downright
exploitation due to vagrancy and deprivation. Requiem exposes a putrid
society in dire need of redemption, even from the hands of persons
whose duty is to sanitize it. In fact, it depicts the scourge of
female sexual abuse in an intense and gripping narrative. Will Member
set to move to Makurdi to live with a female pastor and her family
suffer the same fate?
