I mailed it out special delivery and I have to tell you, within a week, thirty radio stations were all over 'Lonely Days', and it busted the record wide open. I was very proud of that. Ahmet [Ertegun] and Jerry [Wexler] were both talking about it. In those days, you had to come up with some creative ideas, how to promote a record. That record took off! The song incorporated the innovative structure and knack for changing tempos exemplified by the second side of The Beatles ' Abbey Road album, released the previous year and a clear influence on this single.

That is why Yaremi and other widows are being forced to go for a second marriage without any option of choice, which is in accordance with the traditional values of the land but against modern ideology. On the other hand, spiritualism is a belief that the dead communicate with the living, especially through a medium. This is reflected in the novel through Ajumobi when he appears to Yaremi in her dream and declares to her that he is not asleep in heaven and he is constantly watching over his household.

The relevance of western education. Through the character of Woye, Yaremi's grandson, the novelist brings to limelight the relevance of western education. Such insistence projects education as a means of self empowerment and freedom from oppression. Yaremi might be bold to face the men of Kufi, but she is very weak to take any legal action against the people of Kufi because she is uneducated.

Such weakness is demonstrated in the end of the novel when she laments for her future days of loneliness but only builds her hope on God. If Yaremi were educated, she would have dealt with the men of Kufi legally; rather, she builds her hope on God after lamenting over her future days of loneliness. The characters in this novel are grouped into major and minor characters. She is the protagonist of the novel. Yaremi is a brave, confident, generous, self empowered and an industrious woman. She is the mother of Segi, Wura and Alani. The death of her husband made her a victim of marginalization, deprivation and victimization.
