Abstract

ABSTRACT This project work is on political corruption and symbolism. This project work brings out the corrupt practices by politicians and military rulers, through the symbols used in the novels. Chapter one is an introduction on political corruption in Nigeria and the way the military took over and ruled Nigeria. Chapter two is on the related literature review, chapter three is on political corruption and symbolism in Adichie Chumamanda Ngozi's Half of a yellow Sun. Chapter four is on the political corruption and symbolism in Okey Ndibe's Arrows of Rain. Chapter five of this project work is the conclusion. This project research concludes that though the coming of the British to colonise us brought civilization it also caused divisions among the ethnic groups which led to war. War leads to destruction of lives and properties, it should therefore be avoided in this contemporary society.
