Fathers Of Nations Excerpt 17 Answers
a Mckenzie introduces herself to Dr Afolabi, thanks him for agreeing to sit for the interview and narrates the history of her adoption by the Scottish missionaries.
b (i) Simile
We are told Dr Afolabi likens Ms Mckenzie to the
cuteness of a button and the sharpness of a needle.
(ii) Exaggeration
The author says Mckenzie's eyes were wide and white
like a pair of moons.
c) Education
Mckenzie highlights that Dr Afolabi studied at Harvard
University in the USA and teaches at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria.
d) Honest
She freely narrates to Afolabi the history of her
adoption by the Scottish missionaries. Afolabi barely knows her, yet she
demonstrates her honesty and openness as a journalist.
Curious
She already knows Dr Afolabis' educational background
and goes ahead to ask more questions regarding the summit.
e) Mckenzie apologises to Dr Afolabi for disappointing
him with her demeaning statement. He asks his age and recommends he take a
photo of himself as a memory of his age.
f) Dr Afolabi has written about the failure of states.
He is against the evils in the African states. However, the presidents saw
merit in his book and invited him to the summit to assure them that Way Omega
agreed with it. Afolabi's dreams for a better Africa are realised when the
presidents vote for Path Alpha, which is a better version of reforming Africa.
g) i) Averted - Turned away or aside.
ii) Autobiography - The story of a person's life as by that person.
