A Novel in Rotten English,

by the late author and political activist Ken
Saro-Wiwa, published in 1985.
The

an adult, it will attract the attention of Agnes, and he will have a great
uniform to impress everyone back in the village (Dukana), will sing songs while
drilling, and will eat three meals a day without worry. However, once he joins,
he slowly realizes differently; going for days without food is very difficult.
