Pastor Uka: A Tragicomedy [Large Print]

By: Makia, Japhet N.

Set in the neighboring Nigerian villages of Umuaguw and Ihitie-Udie, Pastor Uka: A Tragicomedy is a thought-provoking drama about faith, temptation, tradition, and the consequences of desperation.

Pastor Uka is a devoted clergyman whose unwavering belief in God guides both his family and his community. But when illness tests his convictions and conventional remedies fail, pressure from those closest to him leads him toward the very practices he has long stood against. At the same time, his son Kalu, frustrated by academic failure and growing doubtful of his father's teachings, begins searching for answers elsewhere. Their separate struggles ultimately lead them to a corrupt native witch doctor whose greed and deception set devastating events in motion.

Blending serious social commentary with moments of humor, Pastor Uka explores the tension between religious faith and traditional beliefs while examining greed, changing values, family expectations, and the choices people make when their convictions are tested. Rooted in Nigerian village life and enriched by both standard and pidgin English, this tragicomedy offers a distinctive exploration of belief, culture, and human weakness.
