In posthumous tribute to My dad, whose quiet life, snapped away, spring dirges in the heart of my soul In doting gratitude to Grace Atuonwu for her interminable love. To the entire family of Maduforo Alozie This project is affectionately and gratefully dedicated. Acknowledgements The challenges encountered in the course of writing this work, as would be expected from a professional beginner, were quite massive. It is thus with humility that I appreciate all who contributed to making my dream a success; though I must state that it is very difficult to remember all the influences that brought this work to fruition. All praises and thanks go to our Almighty Father, Jehovah, for imbuing me with power beyond what is normal to finish my programme despite the ups and downs along the way. Much guidance and intellectual sustenance came from many of my academic mentors of whom I shall mention specifically. Dr. Paul Obi-Ani has really been the mentor I so desired; the journey began at his feet, he saw the harvest even before planting season began and in advance, knitted big baskets with fronds of faith. His scholarly attention, understanding, patience, empathy, useful suggestions and accommodating spirit really saw me the duration of this work. His Obi-Nwanne and humane heart resurrects dead dreams. Professor Okoro Ijoma has equally been the father I sought for, his constant encouragement, corrections and kind-heartedness proved invaluable to me. Dr. J. O. Ahazuem whose sense of humour, advice and fatherly encouragement made me see light at the end of every dark tunnel is respectfully acknowledged. Dr. Egodi Uchendu is duly acknowledged for her contributions in ensuring that I complete my programme in record time. Professor Onwuka Njoku deserves many plaudits for the sublime way he critiqued my work and helped shape the theoretical basis of this project. Professor Uchenna Anyanwu has always been an inspirer in this work; I fondly appreciate his encouragement and support. Drs. Opata Chukwuma, Apex Apeh, C. Ajaebili, Messrs Chidi Amaechi, Obinna Muoh and Vitalis Nwashindu have all made meaningful contributions to my career and deserve to be appreciated. I also thank the administrative staff of History and International Studies, University of Nigeria and the staff of the National Archives, Enugu for assisting me with materials for this work. I specially appreciate my mum, Ifeoma Alozie, for her moral support and belief that we shall reap in due season if we do not tire out; she is a woman with a man’s mettle. To my siblings, Nne, Muna and Osy, thank you for understanding my tight academic schedule and contending with me; you have kept faith in me. To Grace, thank you MyGem for lovingly being by my side and caring for and assisting me all through this project; you have proved that water could be as thick as blood, even thicker. To Fidelis Okoro, thank you for your tender affection and accommodating spirit which created the serene environment for me to finish my course; you are more than a match. To Ita Okokon, you are a friend and brother; your sacrifices on my behalf are appreciated. To Linda Emesama, your constant concern over my project gingered me a lot; you are cherished with relish. To Joseph Umezurike, the strength of our friendship ties me in bonds with you. I specially appreciate my colleagues and close friends: Mrs. Ngozika Obi-Ani for treating me as a brother with all warmth and giving me a taste of friendship which I cannot but continue to cherish and cherish; Mr. Chimee Ihediwa for his friendship and “big brother” impact in my life; Justice Agoha (Prof.) for years of friendship and trust; Kelechi Ugwuanyi for being the brother I need in a friend; and Ugochi Ezema for her loving concern. My postgraduate colleagues have contributed in no small measure to assist me in my work; you are a class of your own, a quintessential one. I really appreciate my student librarians for giving me the enabling environment to finish my work with ease; you are a joy to work with. I thank my cartographer, Ndichie Cosmas Chinemelum for taking the time to produce maps of such finesse quality for me; your craft is a pleasantness to behold. With you all, I am sure it is possible to live in peace on earth forever; you are all brothers in friends. I would not forget to acknowledge authors whose works I tacitly or directly referenced, cited or quoted; you have proved to me that no man is an island at all. I thank all my friends – for understanding or pretending to understand when I did not take/return their calls and text messages because I just could not; for bearing with me when things were tough and rough; for taking care of me when I was sick; for accommodating my excesses and exuberances; and for forgiving me because all their names cannot be written here. In fact, this work is a tribute in acknowledgement of every support, love and encouragement you have shown me thus far. May Jehovah God bountifully reward you all. Abstract Colonial rule in Africa is one of the experiences in African history that cannot be easily forgotten with the passage of time. It was an experience which began with the scramble for, partitioning and eventual conquest of African societies. The study of colonial interactions in Africa has received commendable attention from scholars over the years. Nigeria is one of the colonized countries that felt the pangs of colonial rule for over half a century. This study deals with the British conquest and administration of Ngwaland from 1892-1960. The coming of the British and its impact is still a factor to reckon with in the history of any given group not only in Igboland, but in Africa as a whole. Consequently, much has been written about the colonial period although in some cases, information about the African side of the story is incomplete. This work is a contribution to the African side of the story with the Ngwa of Southeastern Nigeria as a case study. By adopting the qualitative research methodology, the work arrives at a holistic narrative on the British presence in Ngwaland. Information on this narrative relied largely on oral interviews, government gazettes, archival materials and relevant secondary materials. Attempts have been made to adequately interpret, analyze data obtained and present results thematically and chronologically. The study adopts an interdisciplinary approach using tools from geography, archaeology and sociology. The aim is to reconstruct the colonial history of Ngwaland as well as examine its conquest and administration by the British and determine the extent they were willing to go in order to fully exploit the potential gains in the land and beyond. The work will also examine the degree and pattern of response adopted by the Ngwa to the challenge of an allien rule. There is no doubt that this work provides a safety pad on which to assess British impact on Ngwaland as well as further research into other salient aspects of the history of Ngwaland yet to be studied. It will also assist in understanding the process of social change and adaptation in the face of challenges. However, the author takes the responsibility of all the surviving imperfections in this work.

  • The Nigeria-Biafra War, Popular Culture and Agitation for Sovereignty of a Biafran Nation
    African Studies Centre Leiden, The Netherlands The Nigeria-Biafra war, popular culture and agitation for sovereignty of a Biafran nation ‘Rantimi Jays Julius-Adeoye ASC Working Paper 138 / 2017 1 African Studies Centre Leiden P.O. Box 9555 2300 RB Leiden The Netherlands Telephone +31-71-5273372 Website www.ascleiden.nl E-mail [email protected] [email protected] © Senior Lecturer, Theatre and Film Studies, Redeemer’s University, Nigeria, LeidenASA Visiting Fellow 2017, March 2017 2 Abstract The date 6 July 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the war considered as one of the worst in recent human history, the Nigeria-Biafra war. My paper focuses on the representation of this war in popular culture – with an emphasis on film, fictional and non-fictional literature. It interrogates the role that fictional and non-fictional narration play in the collective and individual memory of Nigerians in general and the Igbos in particular. It also looks at the link between the depiction of the war in popular culture and the renewed agitation for the nationhood of Biafra, as since the 2000s, there has been renewed campaigning by young people of Igbo ethnicity for the creation of the Republic of Biafra. This research particularly concentrates on two organizations that are involved in this struggle: the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). It is my position that popular culture constitutes important material for the study and understanding of historical events and periods of time, while it also enhances our understanding of the ways in which these past events may have an influence in the present.

  • Modified Northern Common Centre Theory: an Attendant Issue on Origin and Migration of Ndiigbo in the Early 21St Century-Linguists Contribution

Modified Northern Common Centre Theory: An Attendant Issue on Origin and Migration of Ndiigbo in the early 21st Century-Linguists Contribution. Longinus Chukwuemeka Chinagorom1 and Onuora Ngozi Theresa2 1Department of Linguistics and Igbo Faculty of Humanities Imo State University, Owerri 2Department of Languages/Linguistics/Literary Studies/Theatre Arts Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ikwo, Ebonyi State, Nigeria ABSTRACT The controversies bedeviling the question of uniqueness, identity and assimilation of people of Africa, which are borne out of the consequences of humanity’s quest for survival that have sparked off several noted revolutions, have given birth to the clarion call for a methodological cum systematic approach to the roots and branches of various peoples of the earth. The recent upsurge for self determination and referendum among distinct ethnic and linguistic groups need not be nipped in the bud; rather the attendant issue of showcasing genuine identities of peoples has become very relevant. In this early 21st Century, the challenges of directing and redirecting the dynamics of Igbo Civilization characterized by its autochthonous and primordial parlance of Ndiokpu na Ndiegede , projected lucidly in terms of self determination/Biafra Restoration and intent motivation for Ndiigbo to exhibit an inherent urge to develop resources towards contributing their quota in the domain of Globalization and current Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), spurs us to revisit some noted theories on the origin and migration of the Igbo. This paper tends to reassess the Northern Common Centre Theory; as among the most popular Schools of Thought on ground.

  • Globalization and Neighbourhood Values: a Study of Akwete Ndoki in Abia State of Nigeria
    GLOBALIZATION AND NEIGHBOURHOOD VALUES: A STUDY OF AKWETE NDOKI IN ABIA STATE OF NIGERIA Bentina Alawari Mathias Department of Sociology/Anthropology Faculty of Social Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 08059022311, 08063458934 Abstract Globalization has been one of the most hotly-debated topics in international economics over the past few years. Globalization refers to increasing global connectivity, integration and interdependence in the economic, social, technological, cultural, political and economical spheres. The realities of living in a neighbourhood, the tensions that exist and the ethics of being a neighbour are referred to as neighbourhood values. This paper tries to examine the effect of globalization on neighbourhood values of the people of Akwete Ndoki town. A sample of 120 respondents was selected using the multistage sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was the questionnaire. The findings show that the people have high values for life and communal relationship. However, with the impact of globalization emphases shifted from communal relationship to individualistic life-style as observed both in the physical structures in the town and the attitude of the youths. Finally, the paper suggests that in order to re-establish neighbourhood values in Akwete, there should be appropriate policy which should help to develop and sell their indigenous technology in the global market. This will create an environment for the propagation of the people’s values. Keywords: Globalization, Neighbourhood values, Culture, Indigenous technology Introduction Human societies across the globe have established progressively closer contact, but recently the pace has rather increased. Jet air planes, cheap telephone services, e-mail, computers, huge ocean going vessels, instant capital flows all have made the world more inter- dependent than ever.

    SHIFTING THE BOUNDARIES OF AKWETE- IGBO TRADITIONAL WEAVING: AN IMPERATIVE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE IGBO TEXTILE INDUSTRY. Chika Chinyeogwa Chudi-duru, Ph.D, Email: [email protected] Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. Nigeria. 08038279870 Abstract From the outset till date, cloth weaving in South Eastern Nigeria has always been within the confines of Ndoki town of Akwete in Ukwa East Local Government Area of Abia state. That could be the reason behind the intricately woven fabrics’ name called “Akwete”. It derived its name from the area it originated and still being produced till date. This study is predicated on the fact that this weaving tradition hardly thrives in other parts of Igbo land except in Akwete town, though they sometimes have some few apprentices from other parts of Igbo land and beyond. This is because the owners have put in a lot of rules and regulations which are enacted by weavers that are women. Thus, the weaving society in Akwete is based on matriarchy. This study’s objective is to determine the boundaries set by the weavers, state some reasons why the boundaries should be removed so that this art can be taught to non-indigenes freely and find out if it has any future for the Igbo weaving career, the society and upcoming weavers. A survey research design was adopted and a five point likert scale questionnaire with close ended statements was administered to the respondents. In depth interviews, focus group discussions and observations were also adopted as research instruments. This questionnaire was administered to some staff and students in three institutions in Abia state because they were considered to be knowledgeable enough to provide the answers needed for this study since they are in Abia State where these woven textiles are fabricated.
