The Scar and Ukpusomi

Osedebamen Oamen was born 16th August 1966 to Mr. and Mrs. Inegbenebholo David Oamen of Ugbokhare Irrua, Esan, Edo State, Nigeria. He had his primary and secondary education in Edo State before proceeding to Obafemi Awolowo University, lle-Ife, Nigeria and University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. Ukpusomi is his undergraduate project play, it gives synopses of human ambition, power trip, clash, temperament, callousness, motivation and discovery. The Scar scorn on the chauvinist male who believes in "a man's world" which does not exist without a woman and all forms of cultural oppression against women. It strives for the recognition of the right, privileges and repositioning of the oppressed, especially women and accentuate resistance. Oamen should be praised for convincing characterizations and amusing yet poignant evocations of his heroines' tribulations. He provides a thorough presentation of social themes in his works with the view to affecting the larger social issues. He is so feminine that the 'de-emotionalization' of sex in his works appear understandable.
