So say my Igbo people. One person does not raise a child. The same goes for this study. I owe its success to many beautiful hearts I met before and during the period of my studies. I was able to embark on and complete this project because of them. Whatever shortcomings in the study, though, remain mine. I appreciate my uncle and lecturer, Chief Pius Enebeli Opene, who put in my head the idea of joining the academia. Though he did not live to see me complete this program, I want him to know that his son completed the program successfully, and that his encouraging words still guide and motivate me as I strive for greater heights. Words fail me to adequately express my gratitude to my supervisor, PD Dr. Eric A. Anchimbe. His encouragements and confidence in me made me believe in myself again, for I was at the verge of giving up.

  • Encoded Language As Powerful Tool. Insights from Okǝti Ụmụakpo-Lejja Ọmaba Chant
    Journal of Language and Cultural Education, 2020, 8(3) ISSN 1339-4584 DOI: 10.2478/jolace-2020-0025 Traditional Segregation: Encoded Language as Powerful Tool. Insights from Okǝti Ụmụakpo-Lejja Ọmaba chant Uchechukwu E. Madu Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Nigeria [email protected] Abstract Language becomes a tool for power and segregation when it functions as a social divider among individuals. Language creates a division between the educated and uneducated, an indigene and non-indigene of a place; an initiate and uninitiated member of a sect. Focusing on the opposition between expressions and their meanings, this study examines Ụmụakpo- Lejja Okǝti Ọmaba chant, which is a heroic and masculine performance that takes place in the Okǝti (masking enclosure of the deity) of Umuakpo village square in Lejja town of Enugu State, Nigeria. The mystified language promotes discrimination among initiates, non- initiates, and women. Ọmaba is a popular fertility Deity among the Nsukka-Igbo extraction and Egara Ọmaba (Ọmaba chant) generally applies to the various chants performed to honour the deity during its periodical stay on earth. Using Schleiermacher’s Literary Hermeneutics Approach of the methodical practice of interpretation, the metaphorical language of the performance is interpreted to reveal the thoughts and the ideology behind the performance in totality. Among the Findings is that the textual language of Ụmụakpo- Lejja Okǝti Ọmaba chant is almost impossible without authorial and member’s interpretation and therefore, they are capable of initiating discriminatory perception of a non-initiate as a weakling or a woman. Keywords: Ọmaba chant, Ụmụakpo-Lejja, language, power, hermeneutics Introduction Beyond the primary function of language, which is the expression and communication of one’s ideas, a language is also a tool for power, segregation, and division in society.

  • Last April, Saaam Met in Phoenix, Arizona. a Number of Issues Were Raised at the Business Meeting
    NYAME AKUMA No. 30 EDITORIAL Last April, SAAAm met in Phoenix, Arizona. A number of issues were raised at the business meeting (see Pamela Willoughby's report which follows this editorial), and at a meeting of the newly constituted Executive Committee (minus the Editor who was unable to attend the Phoenix meetings) several of these recommendations were adopted. Thus, effective immediately, the following changes have been made to the structure of both the organization and Nyame Akum . 1. SAAAm is henceforth to be called the Society of Afiicanist Archaeologists (SAFA). 2. The editorial office of Nyame Akuma will remain at the University of Alberta, but subscriptions will now be dealt with by SAFA, at the University of Florida in Gainesville (see opposite page for details). 3. The cost of an annual subscription will rise to US$20, with a reduced rate of US$15 for bona fi& students. Thus, what has always been implicit is now explicit: membership in SAFA will include a subscription to Nyame Akuma (and vice versa). A small proportion of the increased cost will allow SAFA to subsidize separate mailings (e.g. meeting announcements, renewal notices). Furthermore, by relieving the editors of the burden of managing subscriptions, we hope to ensure that NA appears more regularly - in NovemberIDecember and MayIJune . While I am concerned by the response from subscribers overseas (to whom the increased cost may be seen as onerous, and to whom membership in SAFA is likely to be less attractive than to North Americans), I believe these changes are necessary. It is no longer possible to manage Nyame Akuma effectively in the way we have had to until now.

  • Tourism As a Tool for Re-Branding Nigeria
    International Journal of Research in Arts and Social Sciences Vol 4 Tourism As A Tool For Re-Branding Nigeria Joshua Okenwa Uzuegbu Abstract This research appraises the image crisis in Nigeria and the effort of successive governments, starting from the period of independence to the present dispensation, towards cleaning up of the wrong perception of the country. The study observes that, among other efforts at achieving successful rebranding, tourism is a veritable tool. Thus, some tourism resources in Nigeria were analyzed so as to show how useful they are in the Nigerian rebranding project. Introduction One may be tempted to ask, whether Nigeria actually needs to be re-branded? If the answer is in the affirmative, then what is the effective tool to achieve this? This is the question this paper tries to address. It does this by taking a look at the level of damage inflicted to the image of Nigeria by the activities of few unscrupulous individuals. A review of the activities in the political, social, economic and other spheres of the national life reveals that the country’s negative image, especially in the international arena is informed by negative activities of few in these sectors. This does not mean that majority of Nigerians are not meaningfully engaged in productive ventures that contribute positively to the development of humanity. The fact remains that the international media either by omission or commission have chosen to ignore the positive contributions of these majority, and focused attention on the shortcomings of the few to give the country a bad name. Professor Dora Akunyili, former Minister of Information and Communication and the initiator of re-branding project, while briefing the media on the imperative of this project, observed that the programme is a new chapter in Nigeria’s attempt to take conscious steps at redefining the nation.

  • Insight from Lejja Iron Smelting Community, Enugu State, Nigeria
    MUSIC AS AN INSTRUMENT OF PUNISHMENT IN TRADITIONAL IGBO SOCIETY: INSIGHT FROM LEJJA IRON SMELTING COMMUNITY, ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA. By Christian Chukwuma Opata, and Sam Kenneth Iheanyi Chukwu, PhD Abstract: Music is a specially intended sound that demands mental ingenuity as well as production skill specific to it as a specialized (specie-specific) human activity. The logic, didactics and intention of music must be of some predetermined value or benefit to man to warrant the carving out of special time, creative genius and ingenuity, as well as methods and objects of production. Every music as a human product has a life and logic. Among the Lejja people of South-eastern Nigeria, the logic of some of their music is to evoke fear, awe and other disturbing/provocative emotions in their cultural audience. Some of the music is used in their traditional setting to preserve their ancient iron smelting industry. Iron smelting is an ancient practice of extracting blooms from hematite by subjecting the hematite to intensive heating in a rotund mud structure called furnace. In this study, ethnographic data based on many years of field studies and participant observation would be used in conjunction with materials from relevant literatures. Using two songs and the music of a masked spirit omaba, believed to be the societies’ incarnate being, this study would examine how music is used in a traditional Igbo society to preserve and perpetuate the laws associated with iron smelting by serving as media through which verdicts of the community are communicated to those who violated laws relating to the industry and preventing people who may have the same intention with the culprit from performing the same abominable act.

Many of the papers dwelt on the image and role of women in contemporary African literature with, of course, particular attention to their inscriptions in Achebe's fiction. We felt, however, that the images of women as they have been presented by both African men and women writers and critics would benefit from being complement­ ed, fragmented and tested and that a useful, albeit complex, site for this inquiry could be West African oral representations of the female.

  • Pathway to Intangible Cultural Heritage in Otobo Ugwu Dunoka Lejja, South-Eastern Nigeria
    Ụzọ mma: Pathway to Intangible Cultural Heritage in Otobo Ugwu Dunoka Lejja, South-eastern Nigeria Christian Chukwuma Opata Apex Anselm Apeh Vol.11 2016 International Journal of Intangible Heritage 127 Uzo mma: ICH of Iron smelting, Nigeria Ụzọ mma: Pathway to Intangible Cultural Heritage in Otobo Ugwu Dunoka Lejja, South-eastern Nigeria Christian Chukwuma Opata Department of History and International Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka Apex Anselm Apeh Department of History and International Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka ABSTRACT Heritage sites and their management remain an issue in Nigeria in general, and in South-eastern Nigeria in particular. These stem largely from the spate of wanton destruction of cultural heritage in Igboland, Eastern Nigeria by some Christian fundamentalists. Otobo Ugwu Dunoka Lejja, South-eastern Nigeria, is an open public square which serves as the traditional parliamentary, judicial and ritual square for the thirty-three villages in the Lejja community. It was also an iron smelting site and has the highest concentration of iron slag blocks in sub-Saharan Africa. Divided into four sections by rows of iron slag blocks, the square is full of monuments connected with iron smelting and community history. These monuments are linked to the rules and ethical values which form the intangible cultural heritage associated with iron smelting in the community. The approach in this study is multi- and interdisciplinary, as recourse is made to sociology, ethno-history, political economy, anthropology and the interface between these complementary disciplines. Based on extensive field work in the community, the researchers interrogate the meaning and essence of some of the values attached to the square and the monuments therein.

  • The Role of Art Objects in Technological Development of Nigeria: an Archaeological Perspective
    Bassey Andah Journal Vol 5 The Role Of Art Objects In Technological Development Of Nigeria: An Archaeological Perspective Chidozie Sebastine Agu & Vincent Egwu Ali Abstract Prior to colonial rule, Nigeria possessed technological feats that were comparable if not better than their foreign counterparts. These feats were facilitated by the existence of guilds of craftsmen in various parts of Nigeria who produced masterpieces particularly sculptures. Indeed, the creative ingenuity of our past generations of artists is the mainspring of our civilization. The archaeologists, to a great extent, have thrown some light on these achievements which have continued to fashion the course of our future technologies. Our focus, therefore, is on the role of artifacts or material culture in the technological development of Nigeria. We seek to examine how the various art objects (sculptures, pottery, textiles etc) discovered by the archaeologists have helped to encourage and improve the technological development of the nation. Introduction It was Tilley (1989:188) that pointed out that “if archaeology is anything, it is the study of material culture as a manifestation of structured symbolic practices meaningfully constituted and situated in relation to the social” life of the people. Okpoko and Chukwuezi (1993:146) are of the view that “material culture embraces technology, subsistence, land use and settlement pattern. Technological aspects of material culture include the following, among others: stone tools, pottery, metal tools, bone and wooden tools, textiles and leather materials”. They also averred that “an object can express both ritual and aesthetic values. Indeed, an understanding of a people‟s material culture (arts and crafts) is useful for 2012 Page 201 Bassey Andah Journal Vol 5 a proper appreciation of the people‟s technological growth including some aspect of their history and socio-political setting.

    NYAME AKUMA No. 23 EDITORIAL 9th Congress of the Panafrican Association for Prehistory and Related Studies A report on the Congress by Professor J.D. Clark follows this editorial. While the pessimistic tone of Nicolas David's inaugural editorial in the African Archaeological Review as regards the future of the Panafrican Association was probably justified prior to the Congress, I am pleased to report that the Con- gress was a success, and that the Panafrican Association is alive and well. Attendance was down from previous years - there were only 57 paid registrants - and the majority came from Nigeria (32 or 56%). Other members came from Belgium (3), Botswana (1), Canada (3), Ivory Coast (I), Kenya (2), Mozambique (l), Niger (l), Tanzania (1), Togo (l), the U.S.A. (4) and the United King- dom (7). Unfortunately, only three members of the Permanent Council attended (Prof. J.D. Clark, Dr. Ekpo Eyo and Dr. J.C. Onyango-Abuje). Professor Clark chaired the General Meeting held on 17 December at which a number of decisions were taken. Among these were the following: A new Permanent Council was elected. The executive members are: Dr. Ekpo Eyo (Nigeria; President), Dr. Mounira Harbi Riahi (Tunisia; Vice-president), Dr. David Mulingwa-Kalinda (Botswana; Vice-president) and Professor Bassey W. Andah (Nigeria; Organizing Secretary). A decision on the Executive Secretary was deferred until the venue of the next Congress is determined. The elected members of the Permanent Council are: Y. Coppens (France), J.-P. Kiethega (Upper Volta), J. Morais (Moz- ambique), A. Mturi (Tanzania) and J. Sutton (Kenya).

  • TOWARDS PROPER CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT for SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT in NIGERIA EMEGHARA, Evaristus Elechi E-Mail
    TOWARDS PROPER CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA EMEGHARA, Evaristus Elechi E-mail: [email protected] Department of History and Strategic Studies Federal University, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo (Funai) Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria Abstract The place of proper management of cultural resources in the overall developmental process of a multi-ethnic and heterogeneous country like Nigeria cannot be underestimated. This study stresses the compelling need for proper harnessing and management of cultural resources in Nigeria for sustainable development. It posits that Nigeria is yet to make desired progress in the sphere of cultural transformation, notwithstanding her possession of rich, diverse and varied cultural potentials and resources. A principal reason responsible for this unsavory situation is the country‘s inability to harness and exploit the potentials and resources. These resources, if optimally tapped, harnessed and managed, are capable of launching the country on the trajectory of sustainable national development by increasing her economic fortunes. This is by making her one of the leading tourist havens in the world. The paper adopted the thematic, critical and analytical methodology. The position of the paper is that in view of the crucial role of the cultural sector in Nigeria‘s overall developmental scheme, proper harnessing and management of her cultural resources ought to be accorded adequate attention. The paper concludes by proffering suggestions and strategies on how to enhance proper exploitation and management of cultural resources in Nigeria. Keywords: Proper, Cultural resources, Management, Sustainable development, Nigeria Introduction The central importance of the cultural sector through proper exploitation and management of cultural resources in the overall developmental process of Nigeria, as it is the case in most multi-ethnic and heterogeneous countries, is no longer a matter of conjecture.
