ALUKO, Timothy (1918) Nigerian novelist, an engineer by profession. He relies on documentary, and is psychologically superficial. But his satire is intelligent, funny and sharp: he is best at poking fun, rather than analyzing, the sort of situations with which his compatriot Chinua Achebe deals: the mixture of old and new, Christian and pagan; corrupt civil servants.
