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.
