According to the description, we can see that Abeeba is a very strong and corpulent woman, unlike her husband. The author decided to give a wife so different from her husband so that it would be possible for her to bring about the changes he could not bring about.

Although you have not shown the text to which this question refers, we can state, through the context of your question, that you are referring to "The Prophet of Zongo Street."

By reading this story, we can see that:

  • Mallam Sile is a merchant, very popular, and kind.
  • He is an average-looking man, slight, but very friendly.
  • The people in the town end up taking advantage of his personality and appearance, proving damages in his shop and acting very negatively towards him.
  • One day, he travels and comes back married. His wife's name is Abeeba.
  • Abeeba is a strong, portly, and very smart woman.
  • She quickly realizes how her husband is treated badly by people, and how customers take advantage of him.
  • So she starts taking action to stop that from happening.

At first, the reader may wonder why the author gave a wife to Mallam Sile, so different from him. However, this difference between the two is essential to establish very important changes in history.
