 | | OKARA, Gabriel (Imomotimi Gbaingbain) (1921-), Nigerian poet, was born in Bumoundi, Western Nigeria. |
 | | The novel's pseudo-naive tone is the result of a self-conscious linguistic experiment sustained by the metaphorical opposition between Okolo's 'straight words' in Ijo - that is, an English informed with Ijo word order - and the 'crooked [English] words' of political propaganda. |
 | | Okara has written children's books: Little Snake and Little Frog (1981) and An Adventure to Juju Island (1981). |
