Ossie Enekwe

thumb|Ossie Enekwe Ossie Enekwe, born Onuora Osmond Enekwechi (12 November 1942 – 29 April 2010), was a Nigerian dramatist, poet, novelist, and professor of theatre arts. Quotes When I was in the university, most of our lecturers sounded as if we didn't have drama in Africa. Eventually when we started reading something by Finnegan who had done a lot of work in the area of African oral literature, many of the lecturers and scholars were repeating the same thing. I actually doubted what they were saying. When I got to the United States I came in contact with drama works from other parts of the world. I saw Japanese and Chinese drama. But above all (I saw) how drama was presented in Japanese culture for instance.
