  • Foregrounding Female Agency in the Dance Culture of Nigeria
    WHAT I DO WHEN I DANCE: FOREGROUNDING FEMALE AGENCY IN THE DANCE CULTURE OF NIGERIA Oladoyin Abiona A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2021 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Jeremy Wallach Rahdika Gajjala © 2021 Oladoyin Abiona All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor Scholarship on female representations in hip hop has been predominantly premised on the sexualization of the female body. By focusing mainly on this singular aspect of the genre, we reduce the whole essence of womanhood in the industry to such interpretations. The limited scope of such discussions deprives the women of opportunities to tell their own stories of what they do when they dance. Seeing the cultural significance of dance as a form of popular culture in the Nigerian context, this essay, from a feminist perspective, closes this gap by engaging in a qualitative exploration of the lives of three female dancers in Nigeria telling their stories through dance. They are Kaffayat Oluwatoyin Shafau (Kaffy), Odumewu Debbie (Debbiepinkie), and Usiwo Orezinena Jane (Janemena). Exploring their social media archives, interviews granted to TV stations and a published autobiography “Alajoota” by Kaffy, this essay contextualizes and complicates the interpretations of sexualization in the Nigerian hip hop dance industry. Through dance Nigerian women performers are able to negotiate the heavily male-dominated hip hop scene. For them, dance is a coping strategy, a profession, a space for redefining self and embracing sexuality and femininity, and a form of youthful identity and inclusion.

  • An Appraisal of the State of Professional Songwriting
    AN APPRAISAL OF THE STATE OF PROFESSIONAL SONGWRITING ON THE NIGERIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction Nelson (2010), making reference to a Music quote by Henry Giles, mentioned that “A song will outlive all sermons in the memory”. “Every song is like a painting”, Dale (2013) and every picture tells a story. Also, “Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty because Magical music never leaves the memory”, Beecham (2015). Songwriting may mean different things to different songwriters and at different times. Songwriting, like any other creative endeavor, can be meaningful in a variety of ways. So while there are some objective ways to determine “good” or “bad” when it comes to songwriting, it is also a creative space open to a myriad of options. “A Creative mind has the ability to make discoveries and create innovations”, Rivera, (2014). 1.1 Background to the Study The American Heritage Dictionary of English language, 5thEdition, (2013) defines a songwriter as one who writes lyrics or tunes (or both). They are often referred to as ballad makers, tunesmiths, composers - someone who writes the lyrics and usually the Music of Songs. To some extent a songwriter is much like a storyteller and the listeners are his captive audience. Most songs revolve around a central theme such as love, friendship, struggle, triumph, or other forms of experiences, etc. Every song tells a different story while each song usually contains an atom or 1 atoms of uniqueness which makes them differ from the works of other composers and songwriters.

  • Donjazzy Stepped Again
    KEHINDE AJOSE Lessons drawn from Don Jazzy on how to move from ‘Best Kept Secret' to becoming a ‘DON’ in your field Copyright 2015, Kehinde Ajose All Rights Reserved No part of this publication may be used, shared or photocopied without obtaining written permission from the author. ISBN: 978-978-948-685-4 Published & Print: Hedge Publishing Ventures 6/8, Yusuf Street, Oke-Ira, Ogba, Lagos. 08135891291, 08023771690 Author’s contact: E-mail: [email protected] Facebook: Facebook.com/Ajose.Kehinde Twitter: @iamkenniajose Instagram: iamkenniajose Website: www.kennisplace.com Tel: 08024212530, 08031346466 WELCOME i, my name is Kehinde Ajose, I am a ‘Writist.’ Everything I do is tied around writing and speaking. Like most writers, I love words the way Hkids devour their favourite candy and dudes roar about their favourite football clubs. There was a period in my writing journey when I wasn't getting the feedback I wanted. I would painstakingly craft those words like a sculptor sculpts beautiful artistic pieces and I won't even get a like on Facebook or endless flows of comments on my blog. Then it dawned on me - my eureka moment came; life slapped me and my wake- up call embraced me. Like Betty Irabor would say, “Whenever you wake up is your morning.” I woke up from my slumber. I started seeing myself in a different light; applying some no nonsense, unusual principles that made me slam dunk and started winning in the writing game. iv This book is not a self-praise manifesto or a hero-worship material devoted to singing the praise of Don Jazzy, rather it’s meant to instruct, inspire, and make you draw lessons from the life, career, detours and bumps on the path of Don Jazzy’s journey to stardom and greatness.

  • Musicolinguistics: Deciphering the Nigerian Hip-Hop Music: Cryptolect
    Language, Discourse & Society, vol. 7, no. 1(13), 2019 Musicolinguistics: Deciphering the Nigerian Hip-Hop Music: Cryptolect Waliya, Yohanna Joseph8 Abstract Young rappers use a secret language or cryptolect to shield themselves from public criticism but share persuading hidden messages that influence their communities. Some of these young 43 musicians are Nigerian University students and their special use of language gives birth to this type of hidden language. In this article, I highlighted the cryptolect or Cant used by Rapcultureafrica, a team of both young students and ex-students of the University of Calabar and their cohorts. The cryptolect is making its way into everyday speech especially English and Pidgin as the rappers use it in their rhythmic music. Many people hear these Cants in rap and feel that it allows them to reconnect with their cultural identity in the postcolonial period. It is for this reason, I write this research paper to decrypt to the world the exact messages these rappers are presenting in their music. In this report, I will apply a critical lens using the theoretical framework called Rappers Cryptolect Theory. I will rely on the help of the informants and solicit their help in deciphering these messages for this aspect of the crytptolectics9 in order to make an entry into Linguistics and unconventional English lexicons with the aim to contribute towards establishing crytptolectics in Musicolinguistics as a part of the field of study. Keywords Musicolinguistics, Nigeria Hip-Hop Music (NHHM), cryptolect, cryptolectics,

  • Escapist Discourse Strategies in the Linguistic and Nonlinguistic Expressions of Sex and Sexuality in Nigerian Hip-Hop Lyrics and Videos
    ESCAPIST DISCOURSE STRATEGIES IN THE LINGUISTIC AND NONLINGUISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF SEX AND SEXUALITY IN NIGERIAN HIP-HOP LYRICS AND VIDEOS BY ADEOLA OLUWAGBEMINIYI OJOAWO Matric No: 159565 B.A. (Ife); M.A. (Ibadan) 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 JULY, 2016 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to the Almighty, who knew me before I was formed, and to the people I call family. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firstly, my appreciation goes to Almighty God who saw me through and indeed confirms his word in my life. He gave me the word “possible” and made me run by it. Special thanks to my parents, Dr and Mrs Bolanle Ojoawo. My father‟s life, as a scholar and goal getter, motivated me as a young girl and it has always been my dream to bag this degree one day. However, this dream would not have been achieved if my mother did not stand by me. She encourages me with her words, care, prayers and her “widow‟s mite”. I love you mum!!! My siblings: Akintomide Abiodun and Ayomide Abiodun, what can I do without you? I feel blessed to have you. Your consistent follow-up ensured no room for failure. I want to also thank my meticulous supervisor, Dr A.B. Sunday, for his patience, emotional intelligence, support, guidance, encouragement, advice and the confidence he had in me throughout my time as his student. I dare to say I have been extremely fortunate to have such a brilliant guiding angel, because completing this work would have been so difficult even unachievable without him.
