The Chronicles of Olueke Ogbonna
註釋In this book the author narrates the life and times of a pre-colonial factual and fictitious character in Igboland. Ogbonna or Olueke Ogbonna as he was popularly known, was a hero of the Mbaocha-Ndume people. He made remarkable accomplishments at an age considered to be too tender by the community, thus distinguishing him from those who attained similar heights before and after him.His fame and status began to wane due to the activities of his enemies within his own family and the clan. Some of his controversial accomplishments had attracted both envy and hatred from some members of his family and the council of Elders. His fortunes, prestige, status, honour and influence dwindled further with the introduction of Christianity by the white missionaries. An attempt to restore the ancestral way of life of his people led to his tragic end.
