Question 1 of 10
1. Question
The Ghanaian play, Edufa, by Etu Sutherland is another important contribution to this second group of plays which explore a traditional African idea with a modern setting. Edufa, an apparently successful modern Ghanaian with a gorgeous household and an unmistakable atmosphere of prosperity, has at the time the play opens lost faith in himself and sought to sustain his life (which he holds so dear) by dubious dealings with supernatural forces. He also acquired his riches by similar dubious unless someone he holds dear as his riches volunteers to die for him. Edufa brings home a powerful charm which commits to death anyone who casually answers in the affirmative his question of a substitute death. In such a casual moment of great miscalculation, his wife, Ampoma, has already promised, irretrievably, to do so. The whole of the play turns out to be a great, but helpless effort to retrieve the position and save the wife. (Oyin Ogunba, “Modern Drama in West Africa”)

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
Once upon a time, there was a great wrestler whose back has never known the ground. He wrestled from village to village until he had thrown every man in the world. Then he decided that he must go and wrestle in the land of the spirits, and become champion there as well. He went and beat every spirit that came forward. Some had seven heads, some ten, but he beat them all. His companions who sang his praise on the flute begged him to come away, but he would not, his blood roused, his ear nailed up. Rather than heed the call to go home, he gave a challenge to the spirits to bring out their best and strongest wrestler. So they sent him his personal god, a little wiry spirit who seized him with one hand and smashed him on the stony earth (Chinua Achebe: Arrow of God, pg26-27)
