  • Case Studies from Adamawa (Cameroon-Nigeria)
    Open Linguistics 2021; 7: 244–300 Research Article Bruce Connell*, David Zeitlyn, Sascha Griffiths, Laura Hayward, and Marieke Martin Language ecology, language endangerment, and relict languages: Case studies from Adamawa (Cameroon-Nigeria) https://doi.org/10.1515/opli-2021-0011 received May 18, 2020; accepted April 09, 2021 Abstract: As a contribution to the more general discussion on causes of language endangerment and death, we describe the language ecologies of four related languages (Bà Mambila [mzk]/[mcu], Sombә (Somyev or Kila)[kgt], Oumyari Wawa [www], Njanga (Kwanja)[knp]) of the Cameroon-Nigeria borderland to reach an understanding of the factors and circumstances that have brought two of these languages, Sombә and Njanga, to the brink of extinction; a third, Oumyari, is unstable/eroded, while Bà Mambila is stable. Other related languages of the area, also endangered and in one case extinct, fit into our discussion, though with less focus. We argue that an understanding of the language ecology of a region (or of a given language) leads to an understanding of the vitality of a language. Language ecology seen as a multilayered phenom- enon can help explain why the four languages of our case studies have different degrees of vitality. This has implications for how language change is conceptualised: we see multilingualism and change (sometimes including extinction) as normative. Keywords: Mambiloid languages, linguistic evolution, language shift 1 Introduction A commonly cited cause of language endangerment across the globe is the dominance of a colonial language. The situation in Africa is often claimed to be different, with the threat being more from national or regional languages that are themselves African languages, rather than from colonial languages (Batibo 2001: 311–2, 2005; Brenzinger et al.

  • DISARMAMENT and INTERNATIONAL SECURITY: REAPPRAISING the NEXUS ______John E
    Igbinedion University Journal of Arts and Social Sciences DISARMAMENT AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY: REAPPRAISING THE NEXUS ____________________________________________________________ John E. Anegbode, PhD, Edidiong Samuel Akpabio, and Edokpa Fadal Mary Abstract Disarmament and International Security are a core concern in the international system. States existence is threatened in the midst of warfare especially if weapons of mass destruction are deployed, the world is not ready for a third world war hence the issue of international security has continued to occupy the front burner of international relations. Global nuclear proliferation has continued to fuel insecurity and thwart efforts geared towards the attainment of world peace, is there a nexus between disarmament and international security?, Of course the answer is in the affirmative as arms buildup cum militarization has continued to act as a precipitant for wars across the globe, disarmament and international security are two sides of the same coin as the absence of armaments engenders international security while the presence of armaments especially high caliber armaments promotes international insecurity. It behooves on this work therefore to interrogate both phenomena and establish their area of convergence, utilizing the theory of security dilemma; the paper will holistically thematise the twin phenomena and ascertain the complicity of disarmament to a world of rancor, crisis and mutual hostility. This work focuses on disarmament and its role in the attainment of international

  • Information Kit for 2015 General Elections
    INFORMATION KIT FOR 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS 1 FOREWARD The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has come a long way since 2011 in making the Nigerian electoral process transparent, as a way of ensuring that elections are free, fair and credible and that they measure up to global best standards of democratic elections. We have done this not only by reforms that have been in the electoral procedures, but also in the way informationon the process is made available for public use and awareness. Even though the yearnings of many Nigerians for a perfect electoral process may not have been fulfilled yet, our reforms since 2011 has ensured incremental improvement in the quality and credibility of elections that have been conducted. Beginning with some of the Governorship elections conducted by INEC since 2013, the Commission began to articulate Information Kits for the enlightenment of the public, especially election observers and journalists who may need some background information in order to follow and adequately undertstand the electoral process. With the 2015 General Elections scheduled to take place nationwide, this document is unique, in that it brings together electoral information about all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). I am optimistic that this kit will contribute to the body of knowledge about the Nigerian electoral system and enhance the transparency of the 2015 elections.

  • Ethnicity and Missional Strategies Within the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria
    ETHNICITY AND MISSIONAL STRATEGIES WITHIN THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF NIGERIA By Uma Agwu Onwunta (Rev.) Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Theology in Missiology at the University of Stellenbosch Promoter: Professor H. J. Hendriks December 2006 DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work in this dissertation is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: …………………………… Date: ……………………………….. ii ABSTRACT This study and dissertation examines “Ethnicity and missional strategies within the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria.” A historical study of the mission methods and an empirical study of current missionary practices in the church point to the need for a new missional identity of the church. This missional identity requires a reversal of and a change to missionary strategies that should result into reconciliatory missiology. In the process of making this assessment of the Presbyterian mission in Nigeria, it was necessary to re- visit the missionary ecclesiologies that shaped and contributed to the present identity. Thus, the research focused on the missionary impact of the Church of Scotland, Presbyterian Church in Canada, Presbyterian Church (USA), and the Netherlands Reformed Church (NRC). Insights from these historical excursions helped in determining not only the blessings that these ecclesiologies brought to bear on Nigerian Presbyterianism but also in discovering the burdens they brought on their trails, especially, regarding the seed of racism which was a precursor to the present ethnocentrism in the PCN. The second segment of this research was the empirical study of the current mission and work of the PCN.
