1.8 JUSTIFICATION
This research work is carried out on
Akachi Adimora Ezeigbo’s works because she ranks among the most out —
spoken and prolific writers of modern times who use their literary works
to challenge colonialist literatures and also African men’s literature.
Akachi’s two works, The Last of the Strong Ones (1996) and Children of
the Eagle (2002) are used for this study because the author infuses oral
narratives of Igbo land. By adapting oral narrative devices, Adimora
Ezeigbo decolonizes or, to be more precise, appropriates the Western’
based and determined novel and short story genre. This topic was chosen
by the researcher because little has been done on Facts and Fiction in
Ezeigbo’s The Last of the Strong Ones (1996) and Children of the Eagle
(2002). The research will find out the realities in Ezeigbo’s fictional
works. This research is carried out on Akachi because her novels have
won awards and also because she is an award winning writer. She has won
four major literary awards. She has also won several academic awards.
