is first presented as a born-again Christian lady; however, her desperacy for
job makes her compromise her faith. This is illustrated in her dialogue with
Ogeyi:

When will
that God’s time come? Do you want me to die a wretch
waiting for God’s time?...”pg. 9

She
is emotionally and mentally flexible. This is illustrated in how Ochuole could
make her do what is against her religious faith for employment opportunity.

her to desist from having anything doing with Ochuole, knowing the kind of life
she lives right from school. See what Ogeyi has to say about her:
“…so you are not prepared to listen to
advice ehn!”pg. 37
“(Infuriated.)
Obstinate girl! You are really determined to kill yourself…”pg. 44
