A Banquet for Pigs and Vultures by Onyeka Nwelue

PROFESSOR MAGNUS NWOKEKE is dead.

Perceived as arrogant, proud and inaccessible, he is now in

the Land of the Dead, watching people, busy, preparing a

funeral party for him, in the Land of the Living.

He belongs to the Anglican Church in his village, Ezeoke

Nsu, so there is a Vigil, by the Umuokpu, a powerful clan

group made up of the families' first daughters, who are

seen singing at the back of the compound while having tea

and eating bread.

From the Other Side, Professor NWOKEKE can't stop

them, but he grins and whines and cringes.
