This study investigated the high level socio-economic poverty ravaging Izzi clan of Ebonyi State Nigeria. Specifically, the study sort to find out why there is high incidence of poverty in Izzi despite government and individual efforts over the years. The study adopted the Progressive Utilization Theory (PROUT) by PrahatRanjan Sarkar in 1959, and the Socio-Political and Economic Theory as propounded by Adam Smith in 1776 as its frameworks of analysis. Some randomly selected Izzi people, particularly from the villages were interviewed to elicit relevant information and data for the study. We discovered that over reliance on persistent farming, lack of helping hands from the haves, lack of family planning and non-exposure to early formal education, were among the major causes of unending poverty amongIzzi people. The study therefore recommended for the enabling legislation to check the ever-increasing population without a corresponding means of livelihood, aggressive rural electrification and provision of portable water, provision of micro-credit loan scheme to the rural poor and proper sensitization of the rural communities on the activities EB-CSDA.

A word from Mydrim Gallery Mydrim Gallery is exhibiting the works of ten talented artists painting in oil, acrylic and pastel in its third series of GENERATIONS: THE FUTURE MASTERS. The series was the idea of one of Nigeria's master artists, Abiodun Olaku, who was concerned about the declining standards of draughtmanship and skills amongst young artists. His objective was to create a platform which in Olaku’s words would enable “the underprivileged, stied younger generation artists in the brand crystallization process to showcase their unadulterated creative prowress in its purity”. In this group exhibition featuring carefully selected pieces, the artists have been able to portray everyday life and issues in their own peculiar styles. We are very pleased to have been part of the artists' various journeys and to have witnessed how their works have evolved over the past three years.

  • “Burn the Mmonwu” Contradictions and Contestations in Masquerade Perfor- Mance in Uga, Anambra State in Southeastern Nigeria
    “Burn the Mmonwu” Contradictions and Contestations in Masquerade Perfor- mance in Uga, Anambra State in Southeastern Nigeria Charles Gore asked performances organized by male asso- ciations are a distinctive feature of public per- ALL PHOTOS BY THE AUTHOR formance among Igbo-speaking peoples of southeastern Nigeria (Jones 1984, Cole and Ania- kor 1984) and have been the subject of attention by African art historians in the twentieth cen- tury (Ottenberg 1975, Aniakor 1978, Ugonna 1984, Henderson and MUmunna 1988, Bentor 1995). Innovation and change in terms of iconography, ritual, and dramatic presentation have always been important components to these performances, as well as flexible adaptations and responses to changing social circumstances (Figs. 1–3). However, in the last two decades, new mass movements of Christian evangelism and Pentecostalism have emerged, success- fully exhorting their members to reject masquerade as a pagan practice. During this time, in many places in southeastern Nige- ria, famous and long-standing masquerade associations have dis- banded and their masks and costumes burnt as testimonies to the efficacy of Pentecostalism, affirming the successful conversion of former masquerade members. This research examines the chal- lenges that changing localized circumstances pose to masquerade practice in one locale in southeastern Nigeria. Uga1 is located in southeastern Nigeria in Aguata Local Gov- ernment Area (LGA) in Anambra state, along the Nnewi-Okigwe expressway in Nigeria, some 40 km (25 mi.) eastwards from Onitsha on the river Niger (Fig. 4). It consisted until recently of four village units—Umueze, Awarasi, Umuoru, and Oka—spa- tially contiguous with each other and has a population of some 20,000 individuals.
