SOJOURNERS introduces audiences to the central character of The Ufot Cycle, recent immigrant and newlywed, Abasiama Ekpeyoung.
As part of the first major influx of Nigerian immigrants, Abasiama, along with most of the Nigerian sojourners of the 1970s, hoped to fulfill the Nigerian Dream – immigrate, educate, marry, have babies, and return home. All of this was in hopes of rebuilding Nigeria after the devastation of the first modern African War [the Biafran War.]
However, her plans are not turning out as expected. Love, marriage, duty, and her husband, Ukpong Ekpeyong’s, newfound love of America are taxing her allegiances. In the end, we are left asking: “Will Abasiama be able to manifest the Nigerian Dream now that she has encountered America?”
