These three spheres and phases also correspond to the past, the present and the future, respectively. The living are always in awe of the dead and revere them, while the dead are believed to possess the ability to (re)visit the world of the living through reincarnation. The present study is based on the claim that, while aspects of the indigenous Yoruba belief system such as ancestorhood and apotheosis are getting lost on the millennial generation of Yoruba persons, the alter-native Yoruba music genre provides a viable evidence of how elements of Yoruba folk culture are being preserved by culturally and ideologically conscious members of the same generation. Using the Cultural Theory framework, the study demonstrates the possibility of mainstreaming Yoruba cultural studies into the larger corpus of canonical theories in global cultural studies. Keywords: ancestorhood; apotheosis; alter-native music; Yoruba; ideology; millennial; stylistic; culture _________________ Department of Linguistics, African and Asian Studies University of Lagos, Akoka Lagos, Nigeria Phone: +234 703 137 7993; Email:[email protected] 200 Vision of Ancestorhood and Apotheosis 1. Introduction Alter-native Yoruba music, as conceptualised in this study, refers to Yoruba songs that reflect the nature of external cultural influences that have been brought upon the artistes that produce them, thereby indicating the nature and extent of alteration or alterity identifiable in the Yoruba personality both physically and cognitively.

Abstract Historically, Nigeria and France cannot be said to have enjoyed a robust and cordial relations. Two incidences support this assertion, the first was the diplomatic face-off between both countries when France tested an atomic bomb in Africa against Nigeria’s protest while the second manifested in France’s support for Biafra during the Nigeria-Biafra crisis in 1966 and beyond. It is also on record that France had once worked tirelessly towards the dismemberment of Nigeria as a result of the competition for influence between both countries over the Francophone West African States. This paper examines the twists and turns of the relations between both countries in the wake of the recent visit by Emmanuel Macron, France’s President to Nigeria. Qualitatively driven and relying on the secondary sources of data, the paper observed that Macron’s visit has added some value to the relations between both countries given the peculiar nature of that visit. It equally averred that Macron’s visit to the legendary Fela Anikulapo’s Afro Beat New Afrika shrine in Ikeja, Lagos is not only a reinvention of their bilateral relations but has greatly changed the relations between the two countries, with France now exploiting other areas of developmental cooperation in Nigeria.

  • One of the Indispensable Soldiers of the War”. He Was the British Army's
    (Portrait by William Orpen c/o Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery Trust, Carlisle) Residents of North Lancashire, especially Over Kellett, in the 1870s would never know that the young Jack Cowans growing up their midst would “go down in history as being one of the indispensable soldiers of the War”. He was the British Army’s Quartermaster General from 1912 to 1919. On Page 4 is the first part of his story. Also read inside about: the losses of 1 Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment at Loos on 25th September 1915; Lieutenant Bleakley’s Gallipoli experiences; how a General’s name caused laughter throughout the army; major events & move of Lancashire battalions to war in June - Nov 1915; reports from museums; Peter Denby’s suggestions for visits; a report on Stand To! made searchable and more.

  • The Emergency Develops 1St Battalion Lancashire Regiment
    The Aden Emergency 1963 - 1967 The Aden Emergency, also known as the Radfan Uprising, was an insurgency against the Occupying Forces of the former British Empire in the Protectorate of South Arabia, which now forms part of Yemen. The uprising began on 14th October 1963 with the throwing of a grenade at British High Commissioner Sir Kennedy Trevaskis, which took place as he arrived at Khormaksar Airport to catch a London-bound flight. The grenade killed a woman and injured fifty other people. On that day, a state of emergency was declared in Aden. The Emergency Develops Anti-British guerrilla groups with varying political objectives began to coalesce into two larger, rival organisations: first the Egyptian-supported National Liberation Front (NLF) and then the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen (FLOSY), who attacked each other as well as the British. Between 1963 and 1967 the NLF and FLOSY waged a continuous campaign against British forces in Aden, relying largely on grenade attacks mainly focused on killing off-duty British officers and policemen. By 1965, the RAF station RAF Khormaksar was operating nine squadrons. These included transport units with helicopters and a number of Hawker Hunter fighter bomber aircraft. 1st Battalion Lancashire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Volunteers) The 1st Battalion Lancashire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Volunteers) (PWV) were deployed in South Arabia from January to October 1967. Local St Helens soldiers served in Aden among the ranks of the 1st Battalion Lancashire Regiment (PWV). They arrive at Radfan Camp in January 1967 and were immediately drawn into action.
