6 Reasons to revisit the crazy 1960s 'Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again' by Ola Rotimi

Many books were written in the 60's but Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again  is one of the first to give life to expose the Nigerian political landscape and corruption. These book is priceless. This is one time machine you need to ride! (Like read it right now!.)

1.  It carries a genuinely crazy West African energy, and you can't help but adore it's fine disregard for Western realism.

2. Despite the fact that it was written as far back as the 60's, the themes covered are much still relevant in present day Nigeria like gender inequality, the sharing of the National Cake, corruption, Polygamy, etc.

3. It is comical and the language used is a version of "Nigerian English" (for example: "Se you get?" "I called God on him"). If you are in need of a great laugh, this is really it.

4. The book uses satire and humor to pass a message. It will spark a renewed interest in satires.

5. This book demonstrated the power of drama to shape the thinking of the society and attempted to solve some of the problems encountered in everyday living.

6.  It also reflects the African political dilemma, which as a result of the myriad corrupt politicians and soldiers Africa produces. A particularly good lesson these play has succeeded in teaching is the historically validated fact that once there is articulated opposition to dictatorship, whether military or civilian, there is the hope to build a strong democratic structure.
