Abstract
Elaborated on an otherization-based attitude, this article fends off the gloomy and shaky curtain of a reciprocal hate to spotlight the pang and travail which, indeed, turn the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized into a pugilistic day by day set-to. In his main right stuff to wedge apart the indigenous’ in-groupness spirit, the strangers from afar shake asunder the Canvas that fuel and abet the villagers’ topmost grit and mettle to stand against a bleak and threadbare existence. This being, the thought process browses through the abstruse questions of crime and guilt in a reference frame of colonization in Kenya and Nigeria. Likewise, the blueprint of poetic justice sounds like a clear-cut voice that meets justice in the name and by dint of a people’s cohesiveness and one-ness.
