The Skilled Fisherman Without A Fish edited by Fortune Nwaiwu



EDITOR’S NOTES

This screen play has been perfectly edited in a style that modern artists and actresses will find it very easy and simple to dramatise. This play is then one that really finds its root in the realm of socio-religious milieux as most of the events parallel with those found in scriptures. The parallelism in the text with that of the Christian faith captures conspicuously the religious trends in the modern episcopal calling to serve God and humanity, and that of self will for selfish interests which majorly lie on the pursuit of materialism. The story suffices the struggle of a future promising youth, Chijioke, who has his expertise in fishing and tailoring works, but is ironic that this professional fisherman goes through series of hectic activities without catching any fish. Does it mean that there's no single fish in that river or is it a matter of fate operating very revoltingly against him? This is perhaps one of the most challenging questions troubling the mind of a reader until Chijioke is able to discover that he's a divine call to serve God. Thus, it’s when one's occupation is inlined with his destiny that optimal success is bound to manifest.

The playwright is very bold to articulate his ideas in a way of warning the religious renegades, and false preachers who find themselves in the ecumenical circle because of money. Such false religious leaders who are here represented by Uche will one day face their doom and come-up-pance, just like Uche who broke down and wept as he met his waterloo at the end of his ministerial career. The writer has, in this his literary debut, vouched his melancholic feelings about the current situation in the Christendom, where men of moral laxity have messed-up with pastoral career, with the thought that establishing of a church is a fast moving lucrative business.

We therefore recommend this screen play to everyone all over the world who would want to shine brilliantly along with their destiny.

This down-to-earth play, which mirrors the debauched, and corrupted manners of some individuals would help to transform our society, and individuals who’re caught up in the web of confusion, stagnancy, lack and hopelessness.

LIVE AGAIN BY BEAUTY CHIDINMA NWAIWU A BOOK REVIEWED BY FORTUNE NWAIWU Live Again is a socio-religious discourse graphically written as a comforting balm against the odds and miserable conditions of life. It’s written to give hope to the downtrodden, the poor masses and to the political burgoists who have been affected by fate in one way or the other that they can live again.  Live Again as a title takes its allusions from the Bible, Ezekiel 37: 5 - 6, where God commanded his prophet to prophesy that the dry bones will live again. Also in John 11: 25 Jesus said to Martha that if anyone believes in him even if he dies, he will live again. The writer, Chidinma Nwaiwu was inspired to write in the lens of muse and this text is her visionary medium through which she whispers hope to the hopeless that they can still make it in life, no matter what. The front cover of the book shows a dim-light-red colour used to design live again, and there is a ray of light coming out from the word “live” w...

Cohesion and Coherence

Cohesion and Coherence: A Study of two texts, One with Cohesive Markers while the other lacking Cohesive Markers. A paper presented by Fortune N. (2019). Introduction This paper seeks to analyse two texts finding out a text with cohesive markers and a text lacking cohesive markers. A text in linguistics, is any spoken or written discourse that forms a unified whole, which may be a sentence, a paragraph, or a dialogue. A text is not a grammatical unit, but rather a semantic unit of language, i.e. a unit of meaning, not of form, (Bahaziq, 2016:p112). Texture is what provides the text with unity and distinguishes it from a non-text. Therefore, it is the cohesive relation that exists between units of a text.  This paper explores cohesion and coherence with their instances to enable readers glance on how words structurally and semantically hang together to create a coherent text. We have analysed an excerpt from the opening chapter of Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto to find out t...

The Blurb of The Skilled Fisherman Without A Fish by Fortune Nwaiwu

THE BLURB This screen play has been perfectly edited in a style that modern artists and actresses will find it very easy and simple to dramatise.

Would he seek the face of a numen or someone else to find out the problem with h...
