Description

Morounmubo explores the harrowing social, physical, mental and psychological abuse suffered by the female gender in a highly patriarchal society. The play highlights the dangers the girl-child goes through at home, in school and the society at large. These abuses often damage the psyche of its victims and gives them a negative perception towards men and life as a whole. While men are not necessarily as terrible as portrayed in the play, it does bring to light the animalistic and evil nature of some and begs the vigilance of mothers and guardians in training the girl-child.

Against all odds, Tanwa, the heroine goes on to show that every individual has the ability to write and rewrite their destiny. Morounmubo teaches us to carefully consider the choices we make daily because these choices will ultimately determine and shape the direction of our lives.

“Morounmubo, the work of a talented and hard-working young Nigerian female writer, Yemi Ajagbe, is a story set in contemporary times and has a theme that speaks to the reality of our society. With its dramatic twist and turns, Morounmubo presents a drama that is set to keep readers' attention and interest till the end. But beyond its entertainment value, it is a story that challenges readers to think, ponder, and draw useful lessons for life—our society has much to learn from this book. The plot captures the unfortunate plight of many young girls in our society today, who are victims of sexual exploitation and gender-based violence. It depicts how incest—an act of sexual perversion, sexual violation, and criminality—can set a young girl on a life journey of emotional trauma and path of compromised value and eventual destruction if there are no effective interventions. The story highlights the destructive power of revenge and the unfortunate end that goes with a life of sexual promiscuity, shady living, and duping—all of which are increasingly witnessed among young people in today’s society Yet, the story of any young person, no matter his or her circumstances in life, and irrespective of a faulty foundation and bitter past experiences, does not need to be that of “ashes to ashes” as the life of Tanwa, the principal figure in Morounmubo. As Louise Hay says, “It's not what happens to you, but how you handle it. If Life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If the lemons are rotten, take out the seeds and plant them in order to grow new lemons”.

“Morounmubo is a book that not only engages the mind from start to finish, it opens the eyes to basic issues of the present contemporary age, especially with an average female child. It discusses so intelligibly topics from feminism to misogyny including various forms of social abnormalities as well especially in sexuality. In short, the book addresses almost all basic social concerns of a girl child. However little awareness existed before now, Yemi Ajagbe’s book has it covered.

Everyone could choose to sit at the corridors of offences, playing the blame game, only a few dare to rise and seize their narrative, defying the odds. Yemi Ajagbe pre-empts every excuse in the book, for an average girl child. She captures the tale of hope, karma, choices and consequences so beautifully.

The book, Morounmubo, leaves no stone unturned. I admire the writer’s treatability and intelligence. This is a masterpiece!”
