Purple Hibiscus takes
place in Enugu, a city in
post-colonial Nigeria, and is narrated by the main character,Kambili Achike. Kambili lives with her older brother Jaja(Chukwuku Achike), a teenager who, like his
sister, excels at school but is withdrawn and sullen. Kambili’s father, Papa(Eugene Achike) is a strict authoritarian whose strict adherence to Catholicism overshadows his paternal love. He punishes his wife, Mama (Beatrice Achike), and his children when they fail to live up to
his impossibly high
standards.
The novel begins on Palm Sunday. Jaja has refused to go to church and receive communion.
Because Jaja has no

beginning of the end of
the Achike family. Kambili then explains the events leading up to

mother. On my way to the bank, I stopped to buy bread that I was gonna
eat once I got home but, I couldn't carry the bread inside the bank. I

inside because, well I can't walk around the street holding bread in my

When I got to the bank( well as a "big girl" I couldn't carry bread

Teachers, Employer Squabble
The latest news reaching us on our news desk has it that
just when we thought that learning in Kenya had resumed without hiccups, teachers are threatening to sue their employer over September salaries.
This development ensued after employers of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) failed to honor a court order which directed that teachers should be paid their September salaries.
Yesterday, Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) held a consultative meeting with its lawyers to strategise on the way forward following the misunderstanding between teachers and their employer.
The Kenya Post-Primary Education Teachers Union (Kuppet), said they will sue the commission if their salaries were not remitted to their accounts by end of day yesterday.
However, TSC said their lawyers are set to appeal against some of the orders issued by the court. They added that some of the orders were issued while an appeal case was ongoing.
One of the orders set for appeal include the one to negotiate with teachers’ unions concerning the methodologies to pay the salary increments in line with the budget cycle. Additionally, TSC might also appeal against the order to pay teachers, and not to victimize them.
According to TSC some teachers have not gone back to school as directed by the
