“Broken Girds” written by Stephen Ozor has been approved by government for use in all public and private secondary schools in the FCT, Abuja.
Ozor, whose stage name as a Master of Ceremonies is M C
Frank Ozor, shared the news in stated this in an interview with reporters.
The play has been published by the FCT Education Resource
Centre as the main text (Drama) for all secondary schools in Abuja (JS3 Class).
“Broken girds” is the story of a young man, Eric who grows
up to become a man of wealth and valour, against the odds of his uncle KEN, who
denies him rightful inheritance after the death of his parents and tirelessly
plots to kill him as he thinks he shall stand on his way to coveting his
younger brother GODWIN’s assets.
Eric’s hard work, borne out of belief in self and God, has
paid him off, finding out who is responsible for the sudden death of his
kind-hearted parents.
It is to his biggest surprise to find out that his uncle
whom his late parents were carrying like an egg while they were alive, who had
also denied him of everything he needs to start a life and still plots his
death that is responsible for the death of his parents.
Eric does not only have all the wealth required to fight his
uncle and seek justice for his late parents, but occupies a very important
position by which he can crush KEN with the snap of the finger, especially as
nemesis has delivered KEN into his hands.
The battle lingered for as long as ERIC girded his heart
against forgiving his uncle until the words of FR. STEVE ‘broke the girds’ of
his heart and then he intervened and his uncle was healed.
The character, ERIC, is a model to everyone, especially the
young people.
His sense of maturity and spirit of enterprise is what
today’s young people need, to shun crime and all criminal tendencies and
embrace hard work.
