A woman in Need is an encompassing and experiential novel, seeking to package as much of the feels and trills of contemporary Nigeria. The life story of the lead character, Bala, forms the thread that holds together various aspects of the Nigerian life which the writer takes pains to unravel. 
The writer introduces Bala, a member of the national Youth Service Corps, who has returned to Nigeria to fulfill this service. He is naturally tuned to the life he had lived overseas and uses this as a basis for assessing the Nigerian society. Bala’s background enables the writer to make pertinent comments about the Nigerian polity. Being able to compare what he finds here to what obtained in the west, makes very strong statements about the conditions that prevail in Nigerian. Quite often, Bala is alarmed at situations that the everyday Nigerian would gloss over as normal.
