Obi thinks how to find money for Clara’s operation. He also must return 50 pounds to Clara. He knows Christopher does not have money so he turns to Sam Okoli. Obi does not want to explain the reason, but Christopher had already told him.
Obi goes to the clinic with Clara. He tells Obi to return in the afternoon. Obi feels he will not see Clara again. Obi sits in his car and watches Clara leaving with the doctor. He immediately changes his mind and wants to stop them, but the doctor’s car has disappeared. He drives around looking for them in vain. He returns to the clinic but sees the doctor returning alone. He tells him he will see Clara tomorrow. Obi goes home and tries to read. He finds his poem about Nigeria again and throws it away.
Obi rushes to the clinic and learns that Clara is at a private hospital due to complications. He goes to the hospital, and the nurse informs him that she is ill.
Obi returns to work and Mr. Green asks him how his leave was. He wonders why Africans request a leave since they already have many privileges. He believes that no Nigerian would abandon any of their privileges for the benefit of their country and is sarcastic about their will to self-governance.
