The Moral, Social and Political Decadence in the Nigerian Society: A Case Study of Femi Osofisan’s Midnight Hotel.

Abstract

The moral, social and political decadence in the Nigerian society since independence in 1960 cannot be over emphasized.  Since attainment of independence, all the facets of the Nigerian nation are decayed, totally in shamble and in a sorry state.  At the age of fifty years plus, nothing can be said to be moving forward in the country whereas other developing countries like Nigeria are fast growing technologically, producing enormous goods for global consumption while our country still gropes in the dark as the text reveals “we are in for a long night”. This paper focuses on the decadence in the country, using Femi Osofisan’s Midnight Hotel as a case study.  The drama piece vividly captures most decay be it moral, social, political in the county.
