  • The Construction and Negotiation of Identity in Ajegunle Raga
    “In the Ghetto, Life No Easy For We”: The Construction and Negotiation of Identity in Ajegunle Raga by Ogunbowale Mopelolade Oreoluwa A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History and International Development Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Ogunbowale Mopelolade Oreoluwa, June, 2012 ABSTRACT “In the Ghetto, “Life No Easy For We”: The Construction and Negotiation of Identity in Ajegunle Raga Ogunbowale Mopelolade Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Professor F.J Kolapo This thesis is an investigation into the historical evolution of Ajegunle Raga, a reggae form developed within an urban ghetto in Lagos called Ajegunle and the construction and negotiation of identities therein. The research further argues that Ajegunle Raga is a home- grown oppositional music subculture that draws inspiration from diasporic musical subcultures like Reggae and Hip Hop but retains a genuine representation of Ajegunle in its tales of survival, poverty, marginalization and expressions of creativity within the ambience of the music.

  • Politics and University Administration in Nigeria
    British Journal of Education Vol.8, Issue 5, pp.15-25, May 2020 Published by ECRTD- UK Print ISSN: ISSN 2054-6351: Online ISSN: ISSN 2054-636X POLITICS AND UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION IN NIGERIA Afolabi, Comfort Yemisi Centre for Gender and Development Studies, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria Ekundayo, Haastrup T. Department of Educational Management, Faculty of Education, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria Ogbiye, Cornelius A. Department of Social Science Education, Faculty of Education, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria ABSTRACT: Education is a prerequisite for youths to attain quality job, adequate and acceptable achievement. Every political dispensation is expected to provide good and quality education in any state or country. However, it appears that this is not to be, especially in most African countries. Leaders who should focus on quality education of the masses seemed to attach little or no importance to education and this could have great consequences for administration of tertiary institutions. The number of times these institutions were closed down seemed to spell doom for the tertiary and university education sector. It is on the basis of this that this study examined how university administration fared during various political dispensations in Nigeria at any point in time. The study found out that politics had not impacted much on administration of universities in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that the administration of universities or tertiary institutions should be given the adequate attention and support that they deserve from government at all times. It was also recommended that heads of universities and tertiary institutions should be neutral and stay clear of partisan politics before and during their appointments.

  • Kesha's 'High Road' Is a “Defiant Reclamation of Lightness”
    Kesha’s ‘High Road’ Is a “Defiant Reclamation of Lightness” New Album OUT TODAY via Kemosabe/RCA Records LISTEN HERE Today, Kesha drops her new album ‘High Road’ (Kemosabe/RCA Records), reclaiming her throne as “the badass of pop” (Billboard). A delicious mix of debaucherous odes to living life to the fullest, reflections on self-love, and folk-tinged moments embracing all that makes us human, ‘High Road’ is the GRAMMY-nominated popstar’s most eclectic collection to date. Whether discussing topics of self-identity, free love, best friendship, heartbreak or childhood longing, ‘High Road’ expertly encompasses Kesha’s knack for heartfelt vulnerability, her wild child energy, and oddball sense of humor all with major modern pop integrity. It’s an album about not taking life too seriously, but it is done seriously well. For 'High Road', Kesha enlisted a diverse roster of collaborators / songwriters / producers including John Hill, Dan Reynolds, Stuart Crichton, Jeff Bhasker, Drew Pearson, Brian Wilson, Sturgill Simpson, Nate Ruess, Justin Tranter, Stint, Wrabel, and Pebe Sebert among others to help her make this celebratory chapter of her career a reality. Today’s album release follows last night’s incredible performance of “Resentment” on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and the recent announcement of her forthcoming North American spring tour. ‘High Road’ has already delighted critics, with Stereogum saying it “strikes a believable balance between vulnerability and the bluster she made her name on,” The Independent praising it as “a mature and defiant reclamation of lightness,” and AllMusic calling it “a heady good time”. Album standout tracks like “Tonight” (“100 percent your new night-out anthem” – MTV), “Father Daughter Dance” (“a crushing vocal showcase that no one could have expected” – American Songwriter), “Raising Hell” (feat.

  • Nigeria and South Africa: a Study of Unequal Investment Relations
    International Journal of Innovative Research and Advanced Studies (IJIRAS) ISSN: 2394-4404 Volume 6 Issue 4, April 2019 Nigeria And South Africa: A Study Of Unequal Investment Relations Alexander Nnaemeka Agbaenyi, PhD Anselem Okechukwu Chimezie Department of Political Science, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Abstract: With advancement in Nigeria-South Africa relations, unequal investment became more apparent. South African businesses abound in Nigeria with Shoprite, MTN, Stambic IBTC Bank, Multichoice (DSTV), etcetera featuring prominently. Nigerian companies in South Africa are not dominant in any sector or have any noticeable spread in the economy. This study investigated the nature of Nigeria-South Africa unequal investment relations and factors that hinder Nigeria’s efforts to balance them. The paper is a descriptive as well as qualitative study. Source and method of data collection were based on published online and hardcopy data, and realist theory of power served for explanation. Findings revealed that South Africa’s investments in Nigeria enjoy favorable economic policies and conducive environment and receive enough patronage and profits from large Nigerian population. This situation is reverse for Nigerian companies in South Africa where restrictive laws and unfriendly government polices constitute major challenges. The unequal investment relations between the two countries are the outcome of the struggle to achieve national economic interests with multi-national corporations serving as the suitable tools. Unfortunately, Nigeria runs business deficit in the struggle. The paper recommended the need for good governance and review of Nigeria’s foreign investment policies to make them more mutually reciprocal. In addition, government’s efforts should focus more on self- investment, infrastructural development and diversification of areas of investment than on campaign for Foreign Direct Investment.

  • 2735-9891 65 Pan – Africanism and the Rising Ethnic Distrust in Nigeria
    Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, Volume 1,Issue 1, October 2019 EISSN: 2735-9891 Pan – Africanism and the rising ethnic distrust in Nigeria: An assessment *1Ngozika Anthonia Obi-Ani & Paul Obi-Ani1 1Department of History & International Studies University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria *Corres pondence to: Obi -Ani N. A. Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: Pan - Africanism entails the oneness of peoples of African descent both within the continent and in the diaspora. This envisages support of peoples of African descent for one another in times of difficulties whether political, economic or social. This love for one another is supposed to be deep-rooted but since the exit of the colonial overlords in the 1960s, Africans have turned their swords on one another. Objectives: The aim of this paper was to understand the current level of the spirit of Pan- Africanism among Nigerians. The study also sought to examine if the flame of Pan-Africanism has withered with the attainment of independence. Methodology: This study made use of secondary materials such as books, published journal articles, newspapers and magazines. Result: The result of the study showed that there is currently a decline in the spirit of Pan Africanism. Rather, most Nigerians interpret national issues within the context of religious and ethnic affiliations. Conclusion: The spirit of Pan Africanism has gradually paved the way for ethnic and religious divide in Nigeria. Most Nigerians do not hold oneness of the country sacred. Unique contribution: This study has highlighted the current situation of unity in Nigeria. This information will be useful for policy formulation and implementation vis-à-vis national unity.
