The Whirlwind by Chijioke Ogbuike

The Whirlwind weaves together the lives of individuals swept up in a powerful current of change due to
ambition, societal expectations, and the quest for personal freedom.
Emenike Ugwuanya, a teacher in the village called Agbani, leads a routine life until his world is upended
by the sudden departure of his wife, Nogozi Wabash, for parts unknown to him. Soon after, circumstances
also force Emenike to leave the village to Lagos.
Lagos is the home ground of Dama Group of Companies with its consortium of businesses presided over
by Dama Snr whose son Akelboni Dama lived the life of a playboy before circumstances thrust upon him
the navigation of one of the businesses within the fold of Dama Group of Companies.
The hasty departure of Nogozi from her husband lays the foundation for other discoveries with deep
implications on the lives of those connected in this whirlwind in more ways than one.
