Catalogue of Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm [Adapted from “Catalogue of Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm,” African Collection, Yale University Library, December 1979 ] August 2003 African Collection Cooperative Africana Microform Project Yale University The Center for Research Libraries Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm Introduction The Cooperative Africana Microform Project (CAMP) and the Yale University Library have acquired considerable numbers of Nigerian pamphlets on microfilm. There are now in toto approximately one thousand titiles in six separate collections, each of which has its own inventory or register. It was decided to compile a joint author index to all six collections, and in 1979, Yale University produced a printed index by interfiling all cards produced for each catalogue in one alphabetical sequence. This edition seeks to duplicate the organization of the original catalog in electronic form. The previous index was reproduced on photostat and was difficult to interpret. This edition has the advantage of being text- searchable through conventional electronic eans. This information contained herein was taken initally from the inventories with some editing. In some cases, examination of the original pamphlet would have aided in description, but this was not possible to do. As a result, some items may be presented as separate entities which are in fact supplements to or parts of other publications; also, some erroneous entries may occur, and typographical errors may have occurred in the process of conversion. The collections surveyed are listed below. Symbols are used in this catalog to identify the collection. The collections are: 1. AUTHOR University of Ibadan. Library TITLE Nigerian pamphlets filmed from the collections of the Ibadan University Library [1916-1964] IMPRINT [Ibadan, Nigeria] University of Ibadan, University Library Photocopying Section, [19--?] DESCRIPT 17 microfilm reels. reading negative and negative. 35 mm NOTE Contents include some Mss. and typescripts OCLC # 24129031 CALL # MF-929 Neg.

MF-at lab SYMBOL: “COLONIAL” 6. AUTHOR Ottenberg, Simon TITLE Nigerian pamphlets and other publications, 1940-1965. IMPRINT Seattle, Wash., Cascade Microfilm Systems, 1970 DESCRIPT 14 microfilm reels. 35 mm NOTE These materials were collected in the course of Ottenberg's field research in Nigeria. The collection concentrates on works published in the old eastern region of Nigeria and written by people of Ibo background OCLC # 24139921 CALL # MF-3874 SYMBOL: “OTTENBERG” The negative masters of these films are in the following locations: CAMP: 1, 2, 4, 5 Hoover Institution: 3, 6 Ibadan University: 1 (original negative) The pamphlets’ contents are varied in subject, language, provenance, and date. There are over 400 titles in the Ibadan University Library collection, consisting of most of the pre-1950 Nigerian historical, political, and religious pamphlets held there; these were supplemented by the filming of other pamphlets lent by visiting scholars, notably J.D.Y. Peel’s on the Aladura Church and Richard Sklar’s on politics. Collections 2 & 3 are similar in content to Ibadan’s, but 2 contains several very rare church pamphlets. The Rappaport collection consists mainly of Nigerian federal and Biafran government propaganda. The Colonial Office’s collection comprises well over 250 titles relating to Nigeria, mostly pre-World War II; a sizable part consists of offic ial publications, many of which are not listed in Sharon Burge Lockwood’s Nigeria: a guide to official publications (Washington: General Reference and Bibliography Division, Reference Department, Library of Congress, 1966). There are also numerous offprints from periodicals, especially West Africa. A complete inventory of the 24 reels was drawn up in 1974 by Duquesne University Library (price, $xx). There are three reels of Nigerian titles exclusively, but others – over a hundred, perhaps – were misclassified in London and occur in other sections. The Ottenberg collection contains about a dozen serials, is mostly on the Eastern States – especially on the Ibo, and mainly post-1950. 2 Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm There is some duplication of titles within collections, and perhaps five percent between collections. Most pamphlets are in English, but there are a few in other European languages. The Ibadan collection has about 50 items in Yoruba and a few in other Nigerian languages; the Ottenberg collection has a number of Ibo tit les. A few Ottenberg titles are over 100 pages in length and thus not, technically speaking, pamphlets. It is hoped later to identify other titles suitable for filming as additional series or collections. If anyone knows of any other collection of Nigerian pamphlets in microform, the compilers would be most grateful to have information on it. The acquisition of such material would perhaps be a possibility. Many titles in this catalog are not recorded in the bibliographies by C.C. Angolu (Nigeria: a comprehensive bibliorgaphy in the humaniies and social sciences, 1900-1971, Boston, G.K. Hall, 1973) and B.A. Oni-Orisan (A Bibliography of Nigerian History (preliminary draft), Ibadan, Historical Society of Nigeria, 1968), now no longer available but owned by CAMP and therefore available on loan. Other West African countries for which significant pamphlet collections have been filmed are the Gambia (Gamble collection, available from the Hoover Institution), Zaire (Herbert Weiss collection, held by CAMP), and Liberia (Porte, Cassell and Grimes collections, available from African Imprint Library Services and held by CAMP). All six collections surveyed in this catalog are owned by the Yale University Library and are housed in the Historical Manuscripts and Archives Division in Sterling Memorial Library. They are easily accessible to scholars, though they normally do not circulate o interlibrary loan as they are available from CAMP. Researchers at institutions that are members of CAMP and/or the Center for Research Libraries may borrow microfilm copies of any of the collections contained in this catalog by having the Interlibrary Loan section of their library submit a request to: Access Services Department Center for Research Libraries 6050 South Kenwood Avenue Chicago, IL 60637 773-955-4545 http://www.crl.edu For all requests, request the material by the collection name rather than by individual title. Include the call number (MF-…) and reel number where appropriate. 3 Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm Index The numbers in this index refer to the number found in the upper left-hand corner of each entry in the catalog.

Olu Oylnlade and Jeffery M. VIncent CULTURAL OVERVIEW The People The Ogoni are a minority ethnic people who live in the Western Niger Delta Region of southern Nigeria. During the 1970s, Ogoniland, or the Ogoni Nation, became part of the Rivers State of Nigeria. There are ap­ proximately 500,000 Ogoni who represent less than 0.05 percent of Ni­ geria's 100 to 120 million people. The population density of this region equals 1,233 people per square mile, making it one of the most densely populated areas of Nigeria. Reliable information about the origin of the Ogoni is limited. Archaeo­ logical and oral historical evidence suggests that the Ogoni have inhabited the area for over 500 years. Presently, two theories exist about the origin of this people.

  • A Historical Survey of Socio-Political Administration in Akure Region up to the Contemporary Period

    A Historical Survey of Socio-Political Administration in Akure Region up to the Contemporary Period

    European Scientific Journal August edition vol. 8, No.18 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 A HISTORICAL SURVEY OF SOCIO-POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION IN AKURE REGION UP TO THE CONTEMPORARY PERIOD Afe, Adedayo Emmanuel, PhD Department of Historyand International Studies,AdekunleAjasin University,Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria Abstract Thepaper examines the political transformation of Akureregion from the earliest times to the present. The paper traces these stages of political development in order to demonstrate features associated with each stage. It argues further that pre-colonial Akure region, like other Yoruba regions, had a workable political system headed by a monarch. However, the Native Authority Ordinance of 1916, which brought about the establishment of the Native Courts and British judicial administration in the region led to the decline in the political power of the traditional institution.Even after independence, the traditional political institution has continually been subjugated. The work relies on both oral and written sources, which were critically examined. The paper, therefore,argues that even with its present political status in the contemporary Nigerian politics, the traditional political institution is still relevant to the development of thesociety. Keywords: Akure, Political, Social, Traditional and Authority Introduction The paper reviews the political administration ofAkure region from the earliest time to the present and examines the implication of the dynamics between the two periods may have for the future. Thus,assessment of the indigenous political administration, which was prevalent before the incursion of the colonial administration, the political administration during the colonial rule and the present political administration in the region are examined herein.However, Akure, in this context, comprises the present Akure North, Akure South, and Ifedore Local Government Areas of Ondo State, Nigeria.

    Historical Dynamics of Ọjị Ezinihitte Cultural Festival in Igboland, Nigeria

Vol. 2, Issue 13, pp: 67 - 98 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ijma.v2i13.2 Available online at: www.ata.org.tn & https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ijma Research Article Historical dynamics of Ọjị Ezinihitte cultural festival in Igboland, Nigeria Akachi Odoemene Department of History and International Studies, Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] (Received 6 January 2020; Accepted 16 May 2020; Published 6 June 2020) Abstract - Ọjị (kola nut) is indispensable in traditional life of the Igbo of Nigeria. It plays an intrinsic role in almost all segments of the people‟s cultural life. In the Ọjị Ezinihitte festivity the „kola tradition‟ is meaningfully and elaborately celebrated. This article examines the importance of Ọjị within the context of Ezinihitte socio-cultural heritage, and equally accounts for continuity and change within it. An eclectic framework in data collection was utilized for this research. This involved the use of key-informant interviews, direct observation as well as extant textual sources (both published and un-published), including archival documents, for the purposes of the study. In terms of analysis, the study utilized the qualitative analytical approach. This was employed towards ensuring that the three basic purposes of this study – exploration, description and explanation – are well articulated and attained. The paper provided background for a proper understanding of the „sacred origin‟ of the Ọjị festive celebration. Through a vivid account of the festival‟s processes and rituals, it achieved a reconstruction of the festivity‟s origins and evolutionary trajectories and argues the festival as reflecting the people‟s spirit of fraternity and conviviality.

    As an Expression of Yorùbá Aesthetic Philosophy

    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Vol 9 No 4 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) Social Sciences July 2018 Research Article © 2018 Ajíbóyè et.al.. This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). Orí (Head) as an Expression of Yorùbá Aesthetic Philosophy Olusegun Ajíbóyè Stephen Fọlárànmí Nanashaitu Umoru-Ọ̀ kẹ Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Obafemi Awólọ́ wọ University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria Doi: 10.2478/mjss-2018-0115 Abstract Aesthetics was never a subject or a separate philosophy in the traditional philosophies of black Africa. This is however not a justification to conclude that it is nonexistent. Indeed, aesthetics is a day to day affair among Africans. There are criteria for aesthetic judgment among African societies which vary from one society to the other. The Yorùbá of Southwestern Nigeria are not different. This study sets out to examine how the Yorùbá make their aesthetic judgments and demonstrate their aesthetic philosophy in decorating their orí, which means head among the Yorùbá. The head receives special aesthetic attention because of its spiritual and biological importance. It is an expression of the practicalities of Yorùbá aesthetic values. Literature and field work has been of paramount aid to this study. The study uses photographs, works of art and visual illustrations to show the various ways the head is adorned and cared for among the Yoruba. It relied on Yoruba art and language as a tool of investigating the concept of ori and aesthetics. Yorùbá aesthetic values are practically demonstrable and deeply located in the Yorùbá societal, moral and ethical idealisms.
  • The Andoni People of Rivers State

    The Andoni People of Rivers State

    The Andoni people of Rivers State, of Nigeria, are considered to be an Ijaw tribe by some, a distinct ethnolinguistic group by others, and a people closely related to the Annang, Igbo, Ibibio and Efik people of Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State in Nigeria. Like these people, the Andoni people refer to God as Awaji or Owaji.[1] Historically, the Andoni (Idoni or Indo) Is the first son among the many sons of Ijo (Ujo) heir to the throne of Oduduwa (Adumu) of Ile-Ife before the colonial era and had commercial contacts with European traders and with neighboring Ijaw clans, such as the Bonny, Okrika, Kalabari, and Nkoro. The Andoni frequently fought wars with the Kingdom of Bonny. The Andoni people speak Obolo as the only native language. Obolo language is a combination of words from Igbo, Efik, Ibibio, Annang, Okrika, Ijaw, and Nembe [2] . There is a historical link between the Okrika and the Andoni people. The Andoni people are the fiercest warriors in the Niger Delta, they have fought many wars with the Ogonis yet they are the best of friends. The Andoni (Obolo) clan of Ijaw is very wide with Ohafia and Aro (Arochukwu) people in Igbo land, Eastern Obolo, Ibeno-Eket and Oron in Akwa Ibom states and Andoni, Kala-Ido and Ogoloma in Rivers State. The Andoni people are very cultural, among the key towns are Ngo (Gogo), Ebukuma, Ikuru (Ikwut), Ataba, Ekede, Agwut-Obolo, Okoromboko, Okoroete, Iko, (Eastern Obolo axis), Asarama, Unyeada, Dema and Ilotombi. The Nwantam masquerade of Andoni celebrated every first January is one of the highlights of Obolo festivities, which they share with the Opobo, Nkoro, Bonny and Ndoki Ijaws.

Geotechnical properties of soils used for these constructions should be carefully and comprehensively studied to avoid inappropriate designs, delays in construction schedules, expensive construction modifications, use of substandard burrow material, post construction remedial work, failure of a structure and subsequent litigation, as the case may be. However, Amuzukwu-Ibeku lateritic soil has been used on several occasions as a subgrade material in road constructions within the Umuahia region of Abia State. Thus, this paper investigated the geotechnical properties of this soil, which led to the observation of its substandard nature. All analyses were carried out in accordance to the British Standard Institution. The liquid limit of the soil has an average of 52%, plastic limit of 34% average and plasticity index of 18%.

    BLACK INTERNATIONALISM AND AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN INTELLECTUALS IN LONDON, 1919-1950 By MARC MATERA A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Professor Bonnie G. Smith And approved by _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Black Internationalism and African and Caribbean Intellectuals in London, 1919-1950 By MARC MATERA Dissertation Director: Bonnie G. Smith During the three decades between the end of World War I and 1950, African and West Indian scholars, professionals, university students, artists, and political activists in London forged new conceptions of community, reshaped public debates about the nature and goals of British colonialism, and prepared the way for a revolutionary and self-consciously modern African culture. Black intellectuals formed organizations that became homes away from home and centers of cultural mixture and intellectual debate, and launched publications that served as new means of voicing social commentary and political dissent. These black associations developed within an atmosphere characterized by a variety of internationalisms, including pan-ethnic movements, feminism, communism, and the socialist internationalism ascendant within the British Left after World War I. The intellectual and political context of London and the types of sociability that these groups fostered gave rise to a range of black internationalist activity and new regional imaginaries in the form of a West Indian Federation and a United West Africa that shaped the goals of anticolonialism before 1950.
