Our collection begins with Osita Nwagbo’s “Language Policy in Selected Igbo Families in Lagos, Nigeria.” The author explores the language situation among Igbo-speaking families who reside in a predominantly Yoruba community, and the conscious efforts made by the economic migrants to ensure the survival of their language in an otherwise linguistically predatorial environment. The second article by Temitope Ajayi and Ganiu Bamgbose takes the reader on a journey into the world of pop culture with the title “Nigerian Hip Hop and the Anti-ọmọlúàbí sub-culture among Nigerian Youth.” Adaora Anyachebelu’s article “Cultural Representation in Obidiya: A Post-Colonial Literature,” uses content analysis and the Maxists theory to study aspects of the Igbo cultural experience based on Akoma’s “Obidiya”. Chiamaka Oyeka, in her article “An Anthropological Appraisal of the Place of Women in Igbo Material Philosophy,” undertakes a critical analysis to study how economic considerations influence the way the girl-child is viewed by the community. The article “Turn Management Strategies in Police-Suspect Interaction in Ibadan” by Temidayo Akinrinlola comes from the field of Forensic Linguistics. The author provides an analysis of data taken from police-suspect- interrogation (PSI) discourses using turn-taking techniques. Ogbonna Anyanwu and Joseph Atoyebi’s coauthored article “Endangered Indigenous Skills and Endangered In- digenous Vocabulary Items: Evidence from Igbo Indigenous Agentive Nouns,” is a study of how terms used for describing some occupations/professions are rapidly disappearing from Igbo. Accompanying each article is a stunning image of the North by photographer Doug Lauvstad; designed for bird-watchers, this stunning selection of flora and fauna transmits he astonishing variety of winged wildlife and area around The Pas. This issue ofthe quint also contains a selection of poems from Rupert Loydell's “A Con- fusion of Mary's." 'A Confusion of Marys', a sequence of poems and prose poems in progress, considers, writes back to, and reimagines the religious myth of the angel Ga- briel appearing to Mary, in terms of re-versioning, accumulation, variation, and ekphrasis. Many paintings and photographs depicting the annunciation were used as research and inspiration, including works by Fra Angelico, Andy Warhol, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Francis Picabia, Lino Mannocci and Rose M. Barron. "The Confusion of Marys" is part of an ongoing exploration of this material and associated themes such as colour, religious art, #1 Doug Lauvstad 6 Vol. 10.3 (March 2018) the quint : an interdisciplinary quarterly from the north 7 Renaissance art, spiritual/alien intervention and intrusion into the human realm, sym- bolism, and contemporary art. Loydell's previous publications centred on these topics include Dear Mary (Shearsman, 2017) and Impossible Songs, a collaboration with Sarah Cave (Analogue Flashback, 2017).
