Native Yoruba Music
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Lagos Journals Ihafa: A Journal of African Studies 8: 1 June 2016, 199-217 Vision of Ancestorhood and Apotheosis in Alter- native Yoruba Music dun Bello University of Lagos Abstract The Yoruba world is the totality of the tripartite connection of the worlds of the dead, the living, and the unborn. These three spheres and phases also correspond to the past, the present and the future, respectively. The living are always in awe of the dead and revere them, while the dead are believed to possess the ability to (re)visit the world of the living through reincarnation. The present study is based on the claim that, while aspects of the indigenous Yoruba belief system such as ancestorhood and apotheosis are getting lost on the millennial generation of Yoruba persons, the alter-native Yoruba music genre provides a viable evidence of how elements of Yoruba folk culture are being preserved by culturally and ideologically conscious members of the same generation. Using the Cultural Theory framework, the study demonstrates the possibility of mainstreaming Yoruba cultural studies into the larger corpus of canonical theories in global cultural studies. Keywords: ancestorhood; apotheosis; alter-native music; Yoruba; ideology; millennial; stylistic; culture _________________ Department of Linguistics, African and Asian Studies University of Lagos, Akoka Lagos, Nigeria Phone: +234 703 137 7993; Email:[email protected] 200 Vision of Ancestorhood and Apotheosis 1. Introduction Alter-native Yoruba music, as conceptualised in this study, refers to Yoruba songs that reflect the nature of external cultural influences that have been brought upon the artistes that produce them, thereby indicating the nature and extent of alteration or alterity identifiable in the Yoruba personality both physically and cognitively.

Abstract Historically, Nigeria and France cannot be said to have enjoyed a robust and cordial relations. Two incidences support this assertion, the first was the diplomatic face-off between both countries when France tested an atomic bomb in Africa against Nigeria’s protest while the second manifested in France’s support for Biafra during the Nigeria-Biafra crisis in 1966 and beyond. It is also on record that France had once worked tirelessly towards the dismemberment of Nigeria as a result of the competition for influence between both countries over the Francophone West African States. This paper examines the twists and turns of the relations between both countries in the wake of the recent visit by Emmanuel Macron, France’s President to Nigeria. Qualitatively driven and relying on the secondary sources of data, the paper observed that Macron’s visit has added some value to the relations between both countries given the peculiar nature of that visit. It equally averred that Macron’s visit to the legendary Fela Anikulapo’s Afro Beat New Afrika shrine in Ikeja, Lagos is not only a reinvention of their bilateral relations but has greatly changed the relations between the two countries, with France now exploiting other areas of developmental cooperation in Nigeria.

Nonviolent Protest in Africa: Echoes and Lessons from Fela Anikulapo Kuti
Nonviolent Protest in Africa: Echoes and Lessons from Fela Anikulapo Kuti Noah Opeyemi, BALOGUN Department of Peace and Conflict Studies Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti-State Email: [email protected] Tel.: +2348030627731 Abstract This study examines the intersection of popular music/culture, social movement and protest by analysing the numerous protest music produced and performed by Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Africa’s most iconic resistant artist of the twentieth century. It engages the core questions of right, injustice, and inequality that have manifested in Africa/Nigeria’s underdevelopment since the Union Jack was lowered in 1960. It argues that Fela’s music did have obvious impact on Nigerian youth and the working class who attempted to revise or renegotiate their relationship with the Nigerian state. Yet, it posed hitherto unanswered questions of the changing meaning of social movement in relation to artistic production- an aspect of African studies that scholars have completely overlooked. It concludes that as people reconfigure social relations from one stage to another in their life, their engagement with the State and the social meaning attributed to social justice, which Fela’s music emphasised, also change. Thus, popular consciousness shaped by resistant music is not immutable to nonviolent social protest. Rather, it continued to change as individuals and groups reconstitute their relationship with the society, and as their social status transformed in accordance with the acquisition of better education, wealth/resources, among other significant elements that shape human’s consciousness. Introduction: Understanding Nonviolence Violence involves the use of physical force to achieve and aim. It is the use of physical force may be directed at hurting, damaging, or killing a person or an animal.

Text and Image of Advertising in Nigeria: an Enterprise of Socio-Cultural Reproduction
Advances in Language and Literary Studies ISSN: 2203-4714 Vol. 7 No. 6; December 2016 Flourishing Creativity & Literacy Australian International Academic Centre, Australia Text and Image of Advertising in Nigeria: An Enterprise of Socio-Cultural Reproduction Taofeek Dalamu Department of English, University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.7575/aiac.alls.v.7n.6p.197 Received: 18/09/2016 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.7n.6p.197 Accepted: 22/11/2016 Abstract The role of language in the construction of socio-cultural reality is inevitable. That is why text is used as a pillar that supports the explication of the intended purpose of images applied in multifaceted ad plates. It is a phenomenal tradition that has remained strong in ad campaigns. Advertisers make images and text as discrete components that are inseparable. Images and texts are sedimentary devices in ads, which we can consider as the social position that motivates this enquiry. After the selection of ten ads from various social strata, semiotics viewed from the stances of Saussure and Peirce has been applied along with social semiotics to analyze the ads. The study reveals that ads and advertisers are keen to the promotion of culture with the use of images with textual collaboration. Reference to antiquity has been exposed as a very useful material in ads because it fascinates the public by reproducing their about-to-be- forgotten cultural heritage. Social exercises in the ads create side attractions that lead to assorted photographic entertainment. Besides boosting the audience social knowledge, socio-cultural reproduction experienced in ads can propel the concerned agencies to repackage our cultural beauties as a means of economic growth and emancipation.

Deploying Visual Arts As an Empowerment Tool for Cultural and Societal Renewal in Lagos State and Make Appropriate Recommendations for Dealing with Them
UNILAG Journal of Humanities Deployment of Visual Arts as an Empowerment Tool for Cultural and Societal Renewal in Lagos State, Nigeria Princess Theresa Iyase-Odozi Creative Arts Department, University of Lagos, Akoka Abstract The essence of a vibrant society is its ability to both preserve and reinvent its culture, thereby conserving its history and heritage while creating new forms of expression for the present. Thus, for several decades, some states in Nigeria have carried out beautification projects that entail the use of visual arts. A recent example is the effort of the Lagos State Government in the “Lagos @ 50” Project. This is an ambitious effort that fully engages artists to create and unveil community murals and other forms of artwork to validate and celebrate the historical past while using public art works to revitalise streetscape improvements. Also, some privately-owned organisations, such as Terra Kulture and Nike Centre for Arts & Culture, both in Lagos, have been involved in deploying visual arts as a means of preserving the society’s cultural heritage. This study examines how visual art activities are being deployed, particularly through the engagement of artists, as a tool for cultural and societal renewal in Lagos State. The methodology adopted involves the direct application of first and second-hand observations as well as bibliographic studies geared towards a qualitative research. The Meta-theory of Empowerment is deployed to establish the theoretical foundation for the study. This paper articulates the roles of visual- arts in society and the forms in which they are being deployed towards culture al and societal renewal in Lagos State.
