Abstract
The Known On 7 April 1956 in the Northern part of Nigeria in a place called Gusau a little boy gasped and cried as the freshly polluted air of corrugated and convulsive world of indescri-bable trepidation hit his undefiled, divine face. His bright eyes darted left and right as he was struggling to comprehend the strange spatio-temporal setting spreading before him like an impenetrable ocean. I am convinced that if Laurence Sterne (the author of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy) were to pen down a narrative with this boy as a main character, he would begin from the libidinal action of the parents which must have been so remarkable that it resulted in the birth of such a unique child. Obiọra, as he was named, revealed many signs of singularity from the very first encounter with our strange world (He must have been thinking like Zuma in Peter Abraham's Mine Boy: These people are strange).
