dc.description.abstractPostcolonial drama in Nigeria has preoccupied itself with issue of nation-building since independence, having been a part of it ab initio. From Ogunde to the early Yoruba Travelling Theatre groups, to the myriads of the nation's literary dramatists, such as Wole Soyinka, John Bekederemo Clark, Zulu Sofola, Ola Rotimi, Femi Osofisan, Bode Sowande, Dapo Adelugba, Olu Obafemi, Sam Ukala, Ahmed Yerima, Tess Onwueme, Julie Okoh, James Atu Alachi, Irene Salami-Agunloye, Emmy Idegu, Sunnie Ododo, Alex Asigbo, Zikky Kofoworola, Felix Akinsipe, and AbdulRasheed Adeoye, to mention but a few. Over the years, the dramatic oeuvre of the Nigerian playmakers has been focused on how to evolve a truly developed, peaceful, and virile nation, against all odds. This chapter, therefore, examined the multilayered attitudes of the actors and shades of factors that impediments to nation-building in Nigeria as presented in Nigerian drama.
