About Verdict of the Gods:
Jeff Iwu’s Verdict of the Gods, which draws extensively on the author’s rich Igbo heritage, is a parabolic commentary on our country in dire need of veritable change. Like Achara, Nigeria is plagued by a curse brought on it by the ferocious greed of its scheming, homicidal and ostentatious political leadership.

In this touching tragic play, Iwu reveals that Nigeria’s problem is deeply rooted in its savage history of murder, plunder, marginalisation and exploitation of the weak. This season of change, Verdict of the Gods calls for concerted effort to unravel the problem and address it holistically. The play’s ending with the suicide by hanging of Eze Obioha (lit. the heart/will of the people), is an uncommon display of courage and acceptance of responsibility for the mistakes of past leaders.
Praises for ‘Verdict of the Gods’
The play, Verdict of the Gods, quarries into the world of traditional leadership responsibility for
communal well-being and brings us into contact with yet another lesson that our world has refused to
learn. Denja Abdullahi, Ex-president, Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA).

The reassuring kinetics of African Literature is that vibrant young writers are fanning the embers of
the muse. Here is one more promising voice with his play entitled, Verdict of the Gods. The story races home with the rich escort of appropriate proverbs and the reader is rewarded by the pleasant shock of a messianic climax where a king unusually pays the ultimate price by giving his life for the redemption of his people. – Dr Camillus Ukah, President, Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA).
