  • Oil, Imperialism, Underdevelopment and the Vampire State in Tanure
    IRWLE VOL. 10 No. II July 2014 1 Oil, Imperialism, Underdevelopment and the Vampire State in Tanure Ojaide’s The Activist Chijioke Uwasomba INTRODUCTION Oil (crude) has become such an important international resource that has attracted all kinds of attention and conflicts among states and between states and citizens. For now and for a long time to come oil will continue to play a significant role in the affairs of humanity. This is because of its strategic place and role in the making of nations whether at the core or at the periphery. In the industrial North it facilitates and sustains its production activities while it is a source of large revenue to both the oil majors and their home countries on the one hand, and oil-bearing countries on the other. In Nigeria as Turner and Badru (1984) have shown, oil has been implicated as a major factor leading to coups and counter coups in the jostle for power among the various factions of the ruling elite to establish their hegemony with a view to controlling the wealth of the nation. In these bitter struggles for the control of oil and what it offers, the ruling elite could do anything in the process. The situation is worsened by the involvement of the state in the contestation for primitive accumulation. In Nigeria, and as Olorode (2012:16) has noted, the ruling class has superintended a state where “state apparati have been used largely to entrench its hegemony at the expense of national development and of socio-economic advance of the large majority of the people”.

Many literary artists and critics from different dimensions – drama, prose, and poetry have written scholarly works challenging these situations. Notable among them is Tanure Ojaide. He has used both the mediums of prose and poetry to decry the evil of environmental degradation to the people of Niger Delta in particular and the overall long effects on the Nigerian economy in general. The seriousness of this theme has resulted in many critical and appreciative works done on the poetry and prose of Tanure Ojaide and the Niger Delta environmental problems. The present study takes a step further by giving a historical survey of the features of environmental challenges in the poetry of Tanure Ojaide from his early collection Children of Iroko and Other Poems (1973) to Songs of Myself (2015). The purpose is to establish Ojaide’s consistency or otherwise to the course of exposing environmental problems suffered by the people of Niger Delta and attendant solutions in virtually all his poetry collections.

Its production is motivated by the pressures of conflict in the world of humanity and the strong instinct of man to device ways and means to conquer these challenging conflicts. Environmental literature thrives more on human and social conflict, particularly on the ecology of oppression. All over the world, traditions of literature have cropped up from the wreckage of war and difficult circumstances and situations man and society have been plunged into. These facts are well reflected in the literature of the world. But the Niger Delta experience has not been given adequate scholarly attention by literary scholars. This study demonstrates how a prolonged Copyright © IAARR, 2012-2019: www.afrrevjo.net/laligens Indexed and Listed in AJOL & EBSCOhost 13 LALIGENS, VOL. 8(1), S/N 17, FEBRUARY, 2019 history and experience of violence in the Niger Delta characterised fundamentally by economic cannibalism, political brutality, environmental degradation and physical violence on the region have instituted literary nationalism.

  • The Niger Delta Conundrum: an Assessment of Tanure Ojaide’S Delta Blues and Homesongs and Daydream of the Ants and Other Poems
    Journal of Humanities and Social Policy E-ISSN 2545-5729 P-ISSN 2695 2416 Vol 5. No. 2 2019 www.iiardpub.org The Niger Delta Conundrum: An Assessment of Tanure Ojaide’s Delta Blues and Homesongs and Daydream of the Ants and Other Poems Oguntuase, Adebayo Adefemi General Studies Department, The Federal Polytechnic’ PMB 5153 Ado Ekiti Email: [email protected] Abstract For some time, there has been a groundswell of agitations by concerned people from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria to free the area of the asphyxiating stranglehold of the people and their resources by forces of oppression and revision in high places. Activists, environmental campaigners and the literati have been vigorously involved in the sustained campaigns to give the region a breather. One such campaigner is Tanure Ojaide whose poetry will be examined in this essay to see how his struggles for the freedom of his people have been shaped. The study employs the Ecocritical approach to the examination of the selected poems. Ecocriticism, a branch of literary criticism, is interested in the interconnectedness of literature, man and his environment. It is a theoretical optic that sees the environment as the focal point of literature of any kind and description, be it poetry (which is the choice for this study), play or prose. It concludes that the deployment of literature in the analysis of the human environment is a desirable and welcome development Introduction The major problems besetting the Niger Delta region in Nigeria are those of environmental pollution, physical despoliation and general ecological disasters. The problems are visited on them not only by the Nigerian elite in government but also by multinational oil giants who are goaded by government to devastate the land without let or hindrance.

  • Warri-Related Comedians and Their Art Tanure Ojaide & Enajite Eseoghene Ojaruega
    Tradition and subjectivities: Warri-related comedians and their art Tanure Ojaide & Enajite Eseoghene Ojaruega Tradition and subjectivities: Warri-related comedians and their art By some coincidence, many Nigerian stand-up comedians were born, raised, live in, or are associated with Warri and its environs. By Warri, as understood in the area, we mean Warri and its surroundings and, to a large extent, what is called the ‘core Delta’ of Nigeria’s Delta State. The comedians include Gordons, I Go Dye, AY and Real Warri Pikin. We investigate what is possibly responsible for the natural talent of these comedians. We relate the success of these comedians to the notion of Warri as ‘not coming last’, the history of the city of many ethnicities, boma boys, the blues nature of suffering pain and deprivations but laughing them off, and some indigenous traditions such as the Urhoboudje oral poetic performance which aims to elicit laughter as a means of maintaining normalcy and preventing anybody from deviating from the communally-established norms. We use multiple concepts such as laughter as a means of regulating people’s lives, satire, historicism, culture, and aesthetic considerations to study these Warri-related comedians and their art. We investigate the commonalities, subjectivities, traditions, and individual talents that have made Warri-born, raised, resident, and related comedians so successful—not only in Nigeria, but also in Africa and the world. Keywords: tradition, subjectivities, performance, Warri, comedians. Introduction Coincidentally, many successful Nigerian stand-up comedians were born or raised in Warri and its environs. In this article we intend to interrogate the sociocultural background of four highly talented comedians whose artistic performances have made them stand out with their peculiar styles despite having features that can be said to be Warri-related: Gordons, I Go Dye, AY and Real Warri Pikin.

  • Alienation and Ecoactivism in Selected Works on the Niger Delta Crisis
    ALIENATION AND ECOACTIVISM IN SELECTED WORKS ON THE NIGER DELTA CRISIS BY CHARLES CLIFF FEGHABO B.Ed. English/Education (Ibadan), MA. English (Ibadan) (Matric No: 118487) A Thesis in the Department of English, Submitted to the Faculty of Arts in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of the UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN AUGUST, 2014 i ABSTRACT The discourse of alienation, provoked by environmental despoliation due to the activities of multinational oil companies in the Niger Delta region, is aptly captured in literary works. Previous studies on literary texts about the Niger Delta crisis have identified the negative socio-economic and political impacts of oil exploitation as responsible for the ecoactivism in the Niger Delta, neglecting the role of alienation or erosion of self in the fueling of the crisis. This study, therefore, examines the indicators of erosion of self as projected in selected prose texts on the Niger Delta crisis. This is with a view to establishing how the literary writers connect ecoactivism to the erosion of self. Karl Marx‟s and Marilyn Nissim-Sabat‟s postulations on alienation as well as Lawrence Buell‟s theory on practical commitment to the environment were adopted based on their concern with alienation and ecoactivism, and as implicated in the Niger Delta crisis. Six prose works: Saro-Wiwa‟s A Month and a Day (AMAD), a memoir; Okpewho‟s Tide (T); Ojaide‟s The Activist (TA); Egbuson‟s Love My Planet (LMP); Agary‟s Yellow-Yellow (YY) and Habila‟s Oil on Water (OOW) were chosen. Their selection was based on the shared experiential knowledge of all but one of the writers, and the themes of alienation and ecoactivism, which are common to them.

Eight poems have been parallelism (Okunowo, 2012). According to selected across four different collections of Nwankwo (2012:29), researches have shown Ojaide‟s poetry for this study. The parallel that parallelism relates to the poetic canon of structures inherent in the poems are identified different folk patterns. Thus, Ojaide (1996:4) and analysed following Allen‟s (1996) observes that its use is common in oral literature classification of syntactic parallelism to show in the expressive way of depicting additive how syntactic parallelism enables the poet to thought and in conveying semantic re-iteration foreground and organize his eco-critical which in an oral performance, registers messages.
