nbright: it's Archdeacon Crowther Memorial Girls School Elelenwo..... Nt Elelenwa... Nice write up though..

When she was schooling there it was still elelenwa and not elelenwo, rumuigbo was still umuigbo,rumuola was still umuola.

my heart weeps for this country. A country that doesn't appreciate intellects. When are we going to realise that knowledge is what we need to drive this nation forward. my childhood was filled with reading books from pacesetter series and African writers series and they are still my best novels of all time. they were brilliant pieces from brilliant minds. by the way, if anyone knows where I can purchase the novels, kindly let me know

Flora Nwapa has a way with words, her descriptive ability is amazing. Efuru is a masterpiece

Ìyániwúrà123: No one referred to Igbo society as being patrilineal. Paternalistic and patrilineal are two different words.
Could you please explain the difference if both words are not centered on male dominance?

Currently reading Efuru, it's an ok read in my opinion.
