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.

  • An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn't
    Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t Nasir Abubakar Daniya i Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t. Nasir Abubakar Daniya Student Number: 13052246 A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of Requirements for award of: Professional Doctorate Degree in Policing Security and Community Safety London Metropolitan University Faculty of Social Science and Humanities March 2021 Thesis word count: 104, 482 ii Abstract Since Nigeria’s independence from Britain in 1960, the country has made some progress while also facing some significant socio-economic challenges. Despite being one of the largest producers of oil in the world, in 2018 and 2019, the Brooking Institution and World Poverty Clock respectively ranked Nigeria amongst top three countries with extreme poverty in the World. Muslims from the north and Christians from the south dominate the country; each part has its peculiar problem. There have been series of agitations by the militants from the south to break the country due to unfair treatments by the Nigerian government. They produced multiple violent groups that killed people and destroyed properties and oil facilities. In the North, an insurgent group called Boko Haram emerges in 2009; they advocated for the establishment of an Islamic state that started with warning that, western education is prohibited. Reports say the group caused death of around 100,000 and displaced over 2 million people. As such, Niger Delta Militancy and Boko Haram Insurgency have been major challenges being faced by Nigeria for about a decade. To address such challenges, the Nigerian government introduced separate counterinsurgency interventions called Presidential Amnesty Program (PAP) and Operation Safe Corridor (OSC) in 2009 and 2016 respectively, which are both aimed at curtailing Militancy and Insurgency respectively.

  • “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.

  • The Reimagined Paradise: African Immigrants in the United States, Nollywood Film, and the Digital Remediation of 'Home'
    THE REIMAGINED PARADISE: AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES, NOLLYWOOD FILM, AND THE DIGITAL REMEDIATION OF 'HOME' Tori O. Arthur A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2016 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Patricia Sharp Graduate Faculty Representative Vibha Bhalla Lara Lengel © 2016 Tori O. Arthur All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor This dissertation analyzes how African immigrants from nations south of the Sahara become affective citizens of a universal Africa through the consumption of Nigerian cinema, known as Nollywood, in digital spaces. Employing a phenomenological approach to examine lived experience, this study explores: 1) how American media aids African pre-migrants in constructing the United States as a paradise rooted in the American Dream; 2) immigrants’ responses when the ‘imagined paradise’ does not match their American realities; 3) the ways Nigerian films articulate a distinctly African cultural experience that enables immigrants from various nations to identify with the stories reflected on screen; and, 4) how viewing Nollywood films in social media platforms creates a digital sub-diaspora that enables a reconnection with African culture when life in the United States causes intellectual and emotional dissonance. Using voices of members from the African immigrant communities currently living in the United States and analysis of their online media consumption, this study ultimately argues that the Nigerian film industry, a transnational cinema with consumers across the African diaspora, continuously creates a fantastical affective world that offers immigrants tools to connect with their African cultural values.

  • 179 Nigerian Pidgin: a Means of Human Development Charles Chukwuma Motanya Abstract
    Nigerian Pidgin: A Means of Human Development Charles Chukwuma Motanya http://dx.doi./org/10.4314/ujah.v18i2.10 Abstract Growth and development are the target of every human being. There are several avenues for achieving this said development and one of such means is through the development of a viable language that will aid in people’s effective communication for gains. This paper therefore explores the effective use of Nigerian Pidgin in the development of artistes in Nigeria’s entertainment industry. Data were generated from a library research. The study is based on systemic-functional grammar. The findings indicate that Nigerian Pidgin has offered many artistes the opportunity to showcase to the wider public their works. This in turn, improves their financial and social status. The research recommends that Nigerian Pidgin should be adopted and included among one of Nigeria’s official language. Introduction One of the most important differences between man and animal is man’s ability to speak and make others understand him. Language is the only means through which this is achieved in man’s life. Language is the medium or vehicle for conveying ideas, a system of arbitrary vocal symbol based on social cooperation; the totality of meaningful utterance in a given society (Yule 15). Language is a system of conventional or written symbols by means of which humans as members of a social group and participants in its culture communicates (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2002). Language determines and defines man’s humanity. 179 Motanya: Nigerian Pidgin: A Means of Human Development In Nigeria, we have three major indigenous languages that have national status.
