EMILOKAN

Esther Adelana’s Emilokan is a political drama that refuses to treat Nigeria’s contemporary crises as isolated tragedies. Instead, it presents corruption, insecurity, banditry, political manipulation, electoral malpractice, poverty, gender violence and institutional failure as interconnected symptoms of a deeper national disorder. The play’s central achievement lies in transforming these anxieties from newspaper headlines into human conflict. Its stage is Nigeria, but its argument reaches beyond one country: whenever power becomes more important than conscience, democracy becomes theatre, and citizens become spectators in the destruction of their own society.
