Explanation

Aloho and Ogeyi are friends from their university Jays. They are both pretty, slim and of average hieight. While Aloho is dark-skinned, Ogeyi is fair. They are both born-again Christians. 

Years after their graduation, Ogeyi secures a job, with the ABC Company as a receptionist, while Aloho is still searching for employment. Ogeyi, though not that well off, is very benevolent. She does not only accommodate and feed Aloho, she encourages her to be patient and not lose faith in God. 

When Aloha comes homes with the promise of a bogus' job by a 'notorious friend', Ogeyi counsels caution, but in Aloho's frustration and desperation, She flouts Ogeyi's advice and accepts the job of a protocol officer in the Ministry of External Relations. 

Ogeyi does not give up in her preachings; she tries to dissuade Aloho, but her words fall on a deaf ear as the glitter of the good life eggs Aloho on. Aloho soon finds herself in police custody for trafficking drugs

As soon as she is cleverly acquitted and discharged through the corrupt string-pulling of Chief Ade-Amaka, Aloha discovers that she is pregnant. She attempts to abort the pregnancy but fails due to her nightmarish dreams, Dr. Chukwuma the gynecologist's evasive delay tactics and Ogeyi's fervent dissuasion. 

In her cornered and remorseful situation, she finally returns to her family, but later dies in childbirth, though the baby survives. 

Ogeyi launches into action to seek justice for her friend's death. She testifies boldly in court against Chief Ade-Amaka, helping to bring him to his deserved "harvest". 

Thus, one can conclude that Aloho is a foil to Ogeyi, as her actions accentuate the wonderful qualities that Ogeyi is endowed with.
