  • 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.

  • The African Diaspora: Slavery, Modernity, and Globalization Toyin Falola
    The African Diaspora: Slavery, Modernity, and Globalization Toyin Falola BOYE6 (2013) The African diaspora is arguably the most important event in modern African history. From the fifteenth century to the present, millions of Africans have been dispersed— many of them forcibly, others driven by economic need or political persecution— to other continents, creating large communities with African origins living outside their native lands. The majority of these communities are in North America. This historic displacement has meant that Africans are irrevocably connected to economic and political developments in the West and globally. Among the known legacies of the diaspora are slavery, colonialism, racism, poverty, and underdevelopment, yet the ways in which these same factors worked to spur the scattering of Africans are not fully understood— by those who were part of this migration or by scholars, historians, and policymakers. In this definitive study of the diaspora in North America, Toyin Falola offers a causal history of the western dispersion of Africans and its effects on the modern world. Reengaging old and familiar debates and framing new ones that enrich the discourse surrounding Africa, Falola isolates the thread, running nearly six centuries, that connects the history of slavery, the transatlantic slave trade, and current migrations. A boon to scholars and policymakers and accessible to the general reader, the book explores diverse narratives of migration and shows that the cultures that migrated from Africa to the Americas have the capacity to unite and create a new pan-Africanist movement within the globalized world. .
