title: The Oath of Zuma
author: Ibe Ui, Uloko
description: In the late 1980s, a religious and ethnic violence forced teenage Kauna and Ogadi into an oath of love in the jungle of the Zuma Rock, where they are stranded as their family run from the opposing warring groups. Years later, at the Dodan Barracks—the epicentre of the military junta—both of them meet again to represent different companies bidding for the construction of the new federal capital territory in Abuja. ‘Business is war’ is the anthem of the antagonists of the Oath of Zuma, and it’s a sin to mix romance with business! Everestae, a Kenyan Masaai princess, pays a huge price to defend the oath of love, when Lord Dark Scorpiono—a warlord—stands tall to destroy it, and unwittingly lures all the opposing groups into Kirikiri Prison. Will Ogadi and Kauna’s love withstand the test of fire?
