African literature is proactive and it is used to change a dicey situation. African literary writers are not alone in the fight against corruption and bad governance, as scholars in other areas of human endeavour are also in this crusade. Corruption is a manifestation of bad governance and this has been identified as the bane of our society, Nigeria. This paper on Godswill Okiyi’s Who is Afraid of Adams Oshiomhole discusses corruption, exploitation, deprivation, oppression, and infrastructural decay. The paper concerns itself with the interrogation of the socio-economic and political situations in Nigeria with the hope of changing these situations. Using the Marxist theory, the paper summarily depicts the fact that corruption cannot be combated with a simple demonstrative approach; instead, war is suggested as a potent tool used to curb corruption in the society.
