Parable of a Village Boy Gbenga Odubiyi

When Soji, an ambitious young man, wins a scholarship to uni-fasi-ty in the big city, he doesn't think twice about turning his back on the parents who raised him or the community that nurtured him, rejecting the customs and ways of his people for a Westernised existence and a life in politics.
