Kofi is the cook at Big Madam and Big Daddy’s house. He is from Ghana and is using the money he earns working for Big Madam to finish building a house back home, where has a daughter around Adunni’s age. Kofi befriends Adunni and tells her about the Ocean Oil Secondary School Scholarship, which he sees as Adunni’s one chance at freedom. Kofi is one of the few male characters in the book who doesn’t abuse or exploit women. He values Adunni as a person and looks out of her, warning her to be careful around Big Daddy. Kofi studied accounting in school but eventually (and much to the displeasure of his family) abandoned a well-paying field to pursue his passion of becoming a chef. Kofi used to work Ghanaian ambassador to Nigeria but lost his job when a new ambassador took over.

I am not understanding why Kofi is always saying Nigerians are spending this and that when him too, he is using the Nigerians money to be building his house in his Ghana country. I see when the visitors of Big Madam give him money, how he will squeeze it tight and slide it inside his pocket with a big smile and a big thank you. Why didn’t he refuse the money if it is thief money? He too is among the problem wrong with Nigeria.
