Explanation

Aloho is the protagonist of the play. She is a young graduate who has migrated from her village to the city in search of a job and ends up being victimized. She eventually loses her life during the process of child birth.

Aloho is a victim. She finds herself unable to secure a job several years after graduating from the university with a decent degree in Mass Communication - Second Class Upper. It is her desperation to secure a job to take care of herself, her mother and her siblings that drivers her to the city and into the hands of her exploiters. Significantly, she is ushered into a life of vice by her university friend, Ochuole.

The main predator is Chief Haladu Ade-Amaka, Minister of External Relations. His offer of a job to Aloho as a protocol officer is merely a front. He exploits her both as a drug trafficker, and, as a sexual partner, he lures the unsuspecting girl into a false sense of security. She is thus not fully aware of what she is getting into when she is instructed to take a package to America. She does have some misgivigs but she is instructed to acquiescence by the Chief: "Remember, I don't tolerate failures, but I have a way I reward hard work and success, so be careful,"he tells her.

On both fronts, she suffers. Aloho is caught while trafficking drugs and spends some time in detention. This leaves her emaciated and traumatised. When she is released she is a different person altogether, having lost faith in both man and God. As she says," I have gone beyond understanding Christian doctrine." In the meantime, Chief has sexually exploiting her. This results in pregnancy which ultimately claims her life. Throughout her life, therefore, Aloho appears to have been a victim.

Aloho, however, does bear some responsibility for her predicatment. she does not listen to the sensible advice of her friend, Ogeyi, who warns her not to associate with the morally lax Ochuole, in the first place. When she is offered a job in the Ministry of External Relations, Ogeyi tries, without success, to dissuade her from taking up the offer. Ogeyi is also persistent in her warning to Aloho not to travel to America on an errand for the Chief, but she will not listen. Aloho also turns a deaf ear to Ogeyi's protestations when she makes up her mind to terminate the pregnancy. In the end, she loses her life.

In spite of Aloho's stubbornness, part of the responsibility for her predicament should rest on the exploiters: Chief Ade-Amaka, Ochuole and Madam Hoha.

Points to note:

(a) Aloho's undergraduate's years of relationship with her friends Ogeyi and Ochuole.

(b) Aloho's desperation for a job after graduation to take care of herself and family.

(c) Aloho's entanglement by Ochuole, who introduces her to Chief Haladu Ade-Amaka, her boss.

(d) Chief Haladu Ade-Amaka's exploitation for sex and illicit business.

(e) Aloho's arrest and detention release and pregnancy.

(f) Aloho's attermpt to abort and death.

THE DANGERS OF DRUG ABUSE

Drug abuse has become a matter of constant discussion on the radio, television and in the daily newspapers recently. The menace of drug abuse in our country has reached a frightening proportion and it has pervaded every sector of our society. Drugs, which are made from medicinal substance formulated by pharmacists for the cure of people's ailments, is used wrongly and abused by people across the social strata. A lot of people just walk across to the nearby chemist to their houses to buy drugs which are not prescribed for them by a pharmacist or a doctor, thus abusing the drugs.

There are lots of dangers in drug abuse In fact, many families have endangered the live of their members through self medication There are cases of many small children who lost their lives simply because their parents, out of ignorance, purchased drugs from chemists and even in the common markets without any doctor's prescription and administered such drugs on their children.

In our society nowadays. it is common to see young children with one deformity or the other. This is so because many pregnant women abuse drugs easily They simply buy drugs and use them without doctor's prescription during pregnancy. The resultant effect of this ignorant act is that most babies are born with one deformity or the other.

Drug abuse also leads to the several psychiatric cases we have around in the country. Several youths take drugs such as heroine cocaine Indian hemp which affect their brain They take these drugs ostensibly because they want to be in fashion and they want to be daring and bold Consequently. most of them constitute themselves into nuisance to the society and end up in psychiatric hospitals.

Our national prestige and honour are not spared of the gruesome effect of the social malaise called drug abuse. Many Nigerians travelling abroad are subjected to derogatory search at the points of entry into other countries. This has destroyed our international image as many Nigerians are found to be carriers and couriers of these hard drugs.

Many crimes in the country can be linked to drug abuse The high rate of criminal activities is a pointer to the danger inherent in drug abuse Armed robbers and the like operate under the influence of drugs which make them to be so daring and ruthless in their nefarious activities.

It is certain that drug abuse has posed a lot of dangers to our society and the government has to do something about it. Our people need to be enlightened about the dangerous consequences of drug abuse. Mass enlightenment campaign should be organised by the government. In addition, the government should promulgate a law which forbids the sale of drugs in the common open market and there should also be a law which forbids a chemist from selling drugs to the public without prescription paper from a doctor or a pharmacist. Religious bodies also have a role to play in educating the public about the dangers of drug abuse
