Crosswinds

Crosswinds is a social satire set in a boarding school. The themes are intrinsically intertwined. The story revolves around Mrs. Okharedia, one of the major characters and Mr. Bello, a debauched assistant head of school who is ready to sacrifice anyone in his quest to satisfy his expatriate masters. His inordinate desire to explore Mrs. Okharedia leads him on a collision course he is ill-prepared for. On one particular incident that will ever remain fresh in her memory, a grade IX boy tapped her buttocks in the presence of his classmates. She slapped the boy and asked the boy to leave her class. When the matter reached Mr. Radcliff, she was reproached for not exercising caution in dealing with the boy, took exception to this, and reminded her that the school rule forbade her from making any form of physical contact with her students. The social relations among students and staff, the school curricula, the role of money, the admission process, facilities at the learning centers, and the conditions of services of members of staff, among others, are explored. The administration of discipline to staff members and students are also lampooned.
