    About this ebook

    This is a light comedy that finds its setting in a fictitious village in Western Nigeria. The play portrays a local soap seller who goes about telling tales even in poor health.It happens to be a die-hard habit which nearly claims this local soap seller 's life when meddling with other people's matters thereby forgetting how to take her medication as she could not read. It is quite hilarious as the tale bearer equally helps in unravelling the mysteries she helps to bring to existence.
