4.9/5 (28082 ratings)

Description:It’s September 1977, and young buccaneer Johnson Okoronkwo arrives in Vancouver determined to rape, loot and pillage, and perhaps get a university degree in the process. Johnson is in Canada to get the “Golden Fleece,” which is what people in his home country of Lygeria call going abroad to get a university education. He has almost no money but is confident he can get all he needs, and more, by conning Canadian authorities and anyone else who will fall for his scams.In Lygeria, Johnson is from a fairly prominent, well-to-do, and respectable family but prefers to hang out with characters like the shady “businessman” Djangoro, the crooked bank clerk Lance Spearman the Number One Crime Buster, and the corrupt Sergeant Yomi of the Lygerian Police. He prefers their values over the traditional mores his father tries to impart to him.Johnson has long had ambitions to go abroad for fun, the Golden Fleece, and whatever spoil he can get from the country he will raid. But he needs money to get there, and he knows his father will not give him anything—Johnson has already been given a large sum of money for this very purpose and has spent it all in riotous living with friends.What to do? He persuades his musician friend, Freddy, who has a day job as a messenger and courier for a furniture factory, to “borrow” money from the furniture company. Freddy is a trusted employee who often carries large sums of company cash to the bank. The plan is for both of them to use the purloined money for university registration, visas, and plane tickets to North America. While abroad, they expect to work and save enough to return the “borrowed” funds.But if anything can go wrong, it will, and this black satirical comedy reveals what happens when Johnson finally makes it to the land of the Golden Fleece. In the form of English spoken by his people, he says that he is “the only Mister Johnson,” meaning “the one and only Mister Johnson,” the real Mister Johnson—any other is fake.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
