      The question paper will guide u,i was told that u are to study one african prose,one non african prose just like that and this applies to drama and poetry and that does not mean u should not have knowledge of the other ones,because it will help u answer the one u know best.

      This syllabus is to guide u,it is made mainly for u know the areas to read rather than reading all your notebooks from SS1-SS3,these are the areas u are likely to expect questions.
