Although aspects of indigenous culture, which have been grouped into four spheres, namely Fang-Beti, Grassfields, Sawa and Sudano-Sahelian, are dotted all over the country in multiple ways, Cameroon cannot still boast of a national culture emblem.

  • Prevailing Prayers 2020
    page 03 PREVAILING PRAYERS FOREWORD lory be to God for your partnership with the Lord of Missions over the years though Gprayers, material/financial support, visitation, giving of yourselves, pieces of advice and understanding. May God reward your love for Him in glorious ways. The encounter of the Israelites with the Amalekites in Exodus 17: 8-13 readily comes to mind whenever one thinks about what God can use us to achieve through partnership in Missions. Moses, Aaron and Hur stayed back at home while Joshua led the army to the battle field. Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill where they could get a good view of the battle field. As long as Moses held up his hands holding the staff, the Israelites were winning. When Moses’ hands grew tired, Aaron and Hur took a stone and put it under Him and he sat on it. Both of them (Aaron and Hur) then proceeded to holding his hands up- one on one side and the other on the other side- so that Moses’ hands with the staff of God remained steady till sunset when the battle was finally won. No one took the glory as all glory belongs to God and God only. As will enter the New Year 2020, let us enter into this partnership with God of Missions. We are to partner through regular intercession, giving, going and sending. The battle will be won sooner than expected if we can partner together as members of God’s family and co- labourers with Christ.

  • Long Distance International Caregiving to Elderly Parents Left
    LONG DISTANCE INTERNATIONAL CAREGIVING TO ELDERLY PARENTS LEFT BEHIND: A CASE OF NIGERIAN ADULT CHILDREN IMMIGRANTS IN USA Onyekachi Okoro, BA, MBA Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2013 APPROVED: Ami Moore, Major Professor Stan Ingman, Committee Member Keith Turner, Committee Member James Swan, Committee Member Daniel Rodeheaver, Chair of the Department of Sociology Thomas Evenson, Dean of the College of Public Affairs and Community Service Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Okoro, Onyekachi. Long Distance International Caregiving to Elderly Parents Left Behind: A Case of Nigerian Adult Children Immigrants in USA. Doctor of Philosophy (Applied Gerontology), December 2013, 162 pp., 8 tables, 5 figures, references, 151 titles. The intent of this qualitative, grounded theory study was to understand why the Nigerian (Igbo) adult immigrants in the United States provide long distance international caregiving to their elderly parents left behind in Nigeria, the challenges they encounter, and their views on long-term service care. This study was grounded in semi-structured interviews of 20 Igbo adult immigrants residing in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolis. Analysis of the literature demonstrates a lack of existent topic on long distance international caregiving to elderly parents left behind in Nigeria. Findings show that reasons for Igbo adult children immigrants providing care to their elderly parents left behind stem from filial obligation, immigrant’s position in the family, perceived vulnerability of parents, and lack of government support. Also because of cultural expectations, the participants felt obligated to reciprocate to the care their elderly parents gave to them when they were growing up.

The Distance Learning mode to which we are committed is providing access to many deserving Nigerians in having access to higher education especially those who by the nature of their engagement do not have the luxury of full time education. Recently, it is contributing in no small measure to providing places for teeming Nigerian youths who for one reason or the other could not get admission into the conventional universities. These course materials have been written by writers specially trained in ODL course delivery. The writers have made great efforts to provide up to date information, knowledge and skills in the different disciplines and ensure that the materials are user- friendly. In addition to provision of course materials in print and e-format, a lot of Information Technology input has also gone into the deployment of course materials.
