For you, Adaobi Okoro-Obika and Chinyere Omeogu. You asked what the novel UNDER BRIDGE, by Immanuel James, was about. This is the summary, as its written in the book: Abandoned by his divorced parents...Victor Ekwueme migrates to Lagos where he faces rejection, poverty and work slavery...Roused by the challenges of existence in a hostile world, he begins to seek universal meaning to life - whether there is a God, a true religion, a hereafter, etc. But he realizes that to make proper sense of the world, he first has to find himself. With little education, he searches for that self within a complex of love, lust, disappointment, superstition, philosophy and ambition. Misfortunes make him superstitous, such that he visits church after church and finally gets disillusioned. Fate later leads him to under a pedestrian bridge in CMS, Lagos where a defining moment comes for him. In the most unlikely place is where he discovers the person he is supposed to be, and life takes a different, positive but tumultous turn afterwards.
