The irony of tradition, religion and education bashes Buumba. He enrols at a Minor Seminary, hoping to bring pagan villagers to the throne of paradise, but he is shocked when they bow before a headman who marries his young Christian girl. Those who pray publicly are poor, those who walk silently live in abundance.
“They tell me that what I am doing is not normal. What they don't know is that normal means 'average'. And I refuse to be normal,”
