Ngungi Wa Thiong'o and the Bondo Society

I will perhaps expound on this one day. Ngugi wa Thiong'o is the main inspiration of the Bondo Society in Sierra Leone. Perhaps it is time to find out what the society stands for.

A hint: His description of Muthoni is used to prepare young Sierra Leonean girls for circumcision rituals. He is a hero over there. His portrayal of christianity is also celebrated in many countries in Africa. The guy is a hero.
