Description

ABOUT THE BOOK Laide, a village bred girl gains admission into a polytechnic for a Higher National Diploma programme. The fleece-able, myopic and fun-seeking day-dreamer becomes flagrantly licentious. Like a dog fated to go astray, she turns wildly debauched, drinking too deeply from the poisonous pool of campus life and getting constipated by its toxic residues. Relayed in a pleasantly fluid style are the consequences of her escapades and the moral messages. The highly spellbinding play captures the social ills on our campuses, faulty educational systems and the socio-political ills in the country, all of which make the play a mirror of realities. - Lawal, M.B. Laide seeks admission far away from her locality to avoid the prying eyes of her parents and to enjoy to the full her 'liberty' on a Polytechnic campus. Journey to Doom is set within the trappings of youthful exuberance and socio-economic rottenness in the Nigerian society. The play succinctly captures the results of untamed and unrestrained campus lifestyle. It is a must read for uncommon wisdom and dignity.
