Phone: +2348030572891, +2348072615526 Abstract Domestic violence is a phenomenon that cuts across races, colours, cultures and continents. It is a societal problem with its consequences reaching far beyond the family. Studies have shown that violence within the family becomes the breeding ground for other social problems such as substance abuse, juvenile delinquency, and violent crimes of all types. This paper examines how the phenomenon of domestic violence, in the African milieu, is painted and presented in the African literary productions. We examined the polarized positions taken by the two Nigerian writers, Chinua Achebe and Bayo Adebowale in their novels. Adopting the theory of liberal feminism as our theoretical framework and textual analysis as methodology, the paper found out the concomitant harsh effects of the phenomenon of domestic violence as a common ground between the two writers, but it has also discovered that despite the number of years that existed between the production of the first and the second novel, the state of the phenomenon rather exacerbates on a daily basis. These shall be seen through the comparative analysis of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1958) and Bayo Adebowale's Lonely Days (2006).

  • Alan Sillitoe the LONELINESS of the LONG- DISTANCE RUNNER
    Alan Sillitoe THE LONELINESS OF THE LONG- DISTANCE RUNNER Published in 1960 The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner Uncle Ernest Mr. Raynor the School-teacher The Fishing-boat Picture Noah's Ark On Saturday Afternoon The Match The Disgrace of Jim Scarfedale The Decline and Fall of Frankie Buller The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner AS soon as I got to Borstal they made me a long-distance cross-country runner. I suppose they thought I was just the build for it because I was long and skinny for my age (and still am) and in any case I didn't mind it much, to tell you the truth, because running had always been made much of in our family, especially running away from the police. I've always been a good runner, quick and with a big stride as well, the only trouble being that no matter how fast I run, and I did a very fair lick even though I do say so myself, it didn't stop me getting caught by the cops after that bakery job. You might think it a bit rare, having long-distance crosscountry runners in Borstal, thinking that the first thing a long-distance cross-country runner would do when they set him loose at them fields and woods would be to run as far away from the place as he could get on a bellyful of Borstal slumgullion--but you're wrong, and I'll tell you why. The first thing is that them bastards over us aren't as daft as they most of the time look, and for another thing I'm not so daft as I would look if I tried to make a break for it on my longdistance running, because to abscond and then get caught is nothing but a mug's game, and I'm not falling for it.

What I felt then, but only realize now, is that I was sensing a change in my academic obsession, my area of study, what occupied my entire adult life.

  • A Comparative Study of Widows' Plight in Binwell Sinyangwe's A
    Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal \\ – Vol.7, No.4 Publication Date: Apr. 25, 2020 DO I:10.14738/assrj.74.8096. Sidi Chabi, M. (2020). A Comparative Study of Widows’ Plight in Binwell Sinyangwe’s A Cowrie of Hope and Bayo Adebowale’s Lonely Days . Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal, 7(4) 272-291. A Comparative Study oF Widows’ Plight in Binwell Sinyangwe’s A Cowrie of Hope and Bayo Adebowale’s Lonely Days Sidi Chabi Moussa Senior Lecturer, African Literature, Department of Anglophone Studies, Faculty of Letters, Arts and Human Sciences, University of Parakou, Republic of BÉNIN ABSTRACT The present article aims at making a comparative study of widows’ plight in Binwell Sinyangwe’s A Cowrie of Hope and Bayo Adebowale’s Lonely Days. The plight of African widows is deplorable in African societies where the weight of customs and traditions makes them suffer a lot. In those societies, the maltreatment that men inflict on them is usually inhumane. People even suspect them of being at the origin of their husbands’ death in most cases. Such a situation calls for reflection as it has become a societal problem which deserves a particular attention. Hence the necessity to carry out this research work in order to pinpoint the ins and outs of such a phenomenon through a comparative study of widows’ plight in the selected novels. The methodological approach that I have used in this research work is documentary research. The study has found that the two widows have a similar plight as courageous and resilient women although their situations are not exactly the same in some aspects.

At the house, I hopped off the bike, ignoring the searing pain in my lungs and legs, and stumbled through the door. Meredith was sitting on the couch, staring at the darkened TV screen. She was still furious with me, her eyes narrowed and the sides of her mouth were pinched, but she refused to look at me. It had been eight months since Meredith and I had stopped off for a couple of hours in St. Augustine after a whirlwind trip to Disney World. That day we fell in love with America's oldest city immediately. Meredith said there was something magical about the place, something that called to the soul. She was sure that anyone who set foot in the city, if they opened themselves up to its magic, would be bound to it forever. And she was. From the moment we stood on the Bay Front, looking out over Matanzas Bay, the lights of the Bridge of Lions twinkling like fireflies, she was hooked.

  • TYPOLOGY and SIGNIFICANCE of PROVERBS and PROVERBIAL DEVICES in BAYO ADEBOWALE’S LONELY Daysi
    (RJELAL) Research Journal of English Language and Literature Vol.4.Issue 3. 2016 A Peer Reviewed (Refereed) International Journal (July-Sept.) http://www.rjelal.com; Email:[email protected] RESEARCH ARTICLE TYPOLOGY AND SIGNIFICANCE OF PROVERBS AND PROVERBIAL DEVICES IN BAYO ADEBOWALE’S LONELY DAYSi Fatiou Akambi RAÏMI Senior lecturer at the University of Parakou e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Proverbs belong to oral literature. Every African familiar with his culture knows a certain number of them and uses them whenever they are necessary. But making their typology raises another problem. For, they abound in African cultures, and touch all the fields of human activities. Their significance is both universal and contextual. Bayo Adebowale has used some in many forms in his novel Lonely Days which depicts the solitary life of a widow. Yaremi thought that she could peacefully manage her widowhood without taking into account neither the village culture which demands a remarriage for widows nor the reaction of the community. The present article, through discourse analysis, shows how her experiences and feelings of widow are woven in proverbs and proverbial devices. Key-words: proverbs; culture; discourse analysis; typology; significance. Résumé Les proverbes appartiennent à la littérature orale. Tout Africain familiarisé avec sa culture en connaît un certain nombre et les utilise au besoin. Mais, faire leur typologie pose un autre problème. Car, ils foisonnent dans les cultures africaines et touchent tous les domaines d’activités humaines. Leur signification est à la fois universelle et contextuelle. Bayo Adebowale en a utilisés un certain nombre sous plusieurs formes dans son roman Lonely Days qui présente la vie solitaire d’une veuve.
