Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again


by Ola Rotimi



Director-Thomas DeFrantz



Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again

Major Lejoka-Brown transfers to the campaign arena tactics that he has taken from his experience in military combat. Lejoka-Brown's strategy is to trick, intimidate and ambush his opponents. The ex-major is also head of a polygamous household. Generally, he uses "his" women to stoke his ego. However, he plans to use his newest wife, who is the daughter of the Market Women's Association President, as an easy ticket to the women's votes. The women come together in an unexpected show of solidarity to deliver to Lejoka-Brown, not the anticipated votes, but certain revelations about their humanity.
