Many parents value education in Africa because of the general initial illiteracy of the continent. Parents don't want their children and wards ending up same way with them socially, so they do all they can to get their children and wards literate. Many sell their properties and give up on shame doing whatever menial jobs would keep their children in school.
Then, poor sex education and sexual habits often rear up the head, empowered by negative peer pressures to truncate the expectations of parents who labour so hard to get their dreams on board. Pa Digu is one of such parents. His tragic life should shake up our youngsters to the reality that there are phases in life ; making the cart to lead the horse is a downward life with dire consequences.
You will surely enjoy studying Pa Digu's Madness as a dramatic text and more rewarding getting it to stage performances for our secondary schools.
