  • Okanga Royal Drum: the Dance for the Prestige and Initiates Projecting Igbo Traditional Religion Through Ovala Festival in Aguleri Cosmolgy
    Global Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Vol.8, No. 3, pp.19-49, March 2020 Published by ECRTD-UK Print ISSN: 2052-6350(Print), Online ISSN: 2052-6369(Online) OKANGA ROYAL DRUM: THE DANCE FOR THE PRESTIGE AND INITIATES PROJECTING IGBO TRADITIONAL RELIGION THROUGH OVALA FESTIVAL IN AGULERI COSMOLGY Madukasi Francis Chuks, PhD ChukwuemekaOdumegwuOjukwu University, Department of Religion & Society. Igbariam Campus, Anambra State, Nigeria. PMB 6059 General Post Office Awka. Anambra State, Nigeria. Phone Number: +2348035157541. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: No literature I have found has discussed the Okanga royal drum and its elements of an ensemble. Elaborate designs and complex compositional ritual functions of the traditional drum are much encountered in the ritual dance culture of the Aguleri people of Igbo origin of South-eastern Nigeria. This paper explores a unique type of drum with mystifying ritual dance in Omambala river basin of the Igbo—its compositional features and specialized indigenous style of dancing. Oral tradition has it that the Okanga drum and its style of dance in which it figures originated in Aguleri – “a farming/fishing Igbo community on Omambala River basin of South- Eastern Nigeria” (Nzewi, 2000:25). It was Eze Akwuba Idigo [Ogalagidi 1] who established the Okanga royal band and popularized the Ovala festival in Igbo land equally. Today, due to that syndrome and philosophy of what I can describe as ‘Igbo Enwe Eze’—Igbo does not have a King, many Igbo traditional rulers attend Aguleri Ovala festival to learn how to organize one in their various communities. The ritual festival of Ovala where the Okanga royal drum features most prominently is a commemoration of ancestor festival which symbolizes kingship and acts as a spiritual conduit that binds or compensates the communities that constitutes Eri kingdom through the mediation for the loss of their contact with their ancestral home and with the built/support in religious rituals and cultural security of their extended brotherhood.

  • Speaking from the Middle Ground: Contexts and Intertexts
    1 Speaking from the middle ground: contexts and intertexts In 1954 a graduate, one year out of college, was recruited to the Talks Department of the Nigerian Broadcasting Service (NBS). By the age of twenty-eight, he was one of the most powerful media professionals in Nigeria. Before independence in 1960 he had established a second career as a fiction writer with the international publisher Heinemann – in due course, his first novel alone would sell an extraordinary ten million copies. Sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation, he celebrated his thirtieth birthday by embarking on an international tour that would help to establish him as one of the most influential voices in contemporary world literature. How should Chinua Achebe’s spectacular rise to prominence be understood? In Nigeria in the 1950s, the cultural field was undergoing profound, multidimensional change, as practices, values and assumptions previously taken for granted by producers and consumers in the media and the arts were rapidly redefined. With the systematic withdrawal of the British from public institutions, opportunities presented themselves to that first cohort of Nigerian graduates that must have seemed incred- ible to their parents’ generation. In this sense, from a historical point of view Achebe arrived on the scene at precisely the right moment. In broadcasting, the process of ‘Nigerianisation’ that preceded independence had produced an urgent demand for young, well-educated, home-grown talent, in exactly the form he exemplified. At the same time, in international publishing, decolonisation posed major challenges for big companies such Morrison_Achebe.indd 1 26/05/2014 12:03 2 Chinua Achebe as Longman and Oxford University Press.

  • Początek, Zderzenie, Ghana '58
    Ryszard Kapuściński HEBAN Początek, zderzenie, Ghana '58 Przede wszystkim rzuca się w oczy światło. Wszędzie - światło. Wszędzie -jasno. Wszędzie - słońce. Jeszcze wczoraj, ociekający deszczem, jesienny Londyn. Ociekający deszczem samolot. Zimny wiatr i ciemność. A tu, od rana całe lotnisko w słońcu, my wszyscy - w słońcu. Dawniej, kiedy ludzie wędrowali przez świat pieszo, jechali na wierzchowcach albo płynęli statkami, podróż przyzwyczajała ich do zmiany. Obrazy ziemi przesuwały się przed ich oczami wolno, scena świata obracała się ledwie-ledwie. Podróż trwała tygodniami, miesiącami. Człowiek miał czas, żeby zżyć się z innym otoczeniem, z nowym krajobrazem. Klimat też zmieniał się etapami, stopniowo. Nim podróżnik dotarł z chłodnej Europy do rozpalonego równika, miał już za sobą przyjemne ciepło Las Palmas, upały El-Mahary i piekło Zielonego Przylądka. Dzisiaj nic nie zostało z tych gradacji! Samolot gwałtownie wyrywa nas ze śniegu i mrozu i jeszcze tego samego dnia rzuca w rozpaloną otchłań tropiku. Nagle, ledwie przetarliśmy oczy, jesteśmy wewnątrz wilgotnego piekła. Od razu zaczynamy się pocić. Jeżeli przylecieliśmy z Europy zimą- zrzucamy palta, zdejmujemy swetry. To pierwszy gest inicjacji nas, ludzi Pomocy, po przybyciu do Afryki. Ludzie Północy. Czy pomyśleliśmy, że ludzie Północy stanowią na naszej planecie wyraźną mniejszość? Kanadyjczycy i Polacy, Litwini i Skandynawowie, część Amerykanów i Niemców, Rosjanie i Szkoci, Lapończycy i Eskimosi, Ewenkowie i Jakuci - lista nie jest tak bardzo długa. Nie wiem, czy obejmuje ona w sumie więcej niż pięćset milionów ludzi: mniej niż dziesięć procent mieszkańców globu. Natomiast ogromna większość żyje w cieple, całe życie grzeje się w słońcu. Zresztą człowiek narodził się w słońcu, jego najstarsze ślady znaleziono w ciepłych krajach.

  • Transforming Christian Womanhood: Female Sexuality and Church Missionary Society
    Transforming Christian Womanhood: Female Sexuality and Church Missionary Society Encounters in the Niger Mission, Onitsha Jenny Daggers Introduction The effort to convert African women to Christianity transformed the religious and sexual lives of African women converts; it also transformed the English Victorian ideal of Christian womanhood itself. Fiona Bowie and T.O. Beidelman, among others, have amply demonstrated the importance missionaries placed on inducting women converts into monogamous Christian marriage. If Christian mission was to succeed in drawing converts away from traditional practices to a Christian way of life, valued male converts needed available Christian marriage partners; otherwise pre-missionary contact marriage practices would draw converts back into the wider religious and social practices in which marital practices were embedded.1 Recent studies of mission activity, among the Zulu in southern Africa (Porterfield), the Krobo in the Gold Coast (Steegstra), and the Igbo in the Niger area (Bastion), have emphasized how this determination to shape African Christian womanhood placed mission Christianity on a collision course with African polygamous practices for the regulation of female sexuality, showing in addition that, by the 1920s, pre-contact marriage patterns had been adapted by fusing bridewealth systems with girls’ domestic missionary education. This article follows a different line of enquiry. While both Victorian Christian womanhood and young African women’s sexuality were indubitably subject to respective regimes of patriarchal control, it is also the case that English and African women actively shaped their own subjectivities within these constraints. This study focuses on mutual encounters between different groups of African and English Christian women in the Onitsha- 1 based Niger mission between 1857 and the 1920s, in order to track transformations in Christian womanhood produced through these encounters.

  • Igbo Historiography: Parts 1, II & III
    Igbo Historiography: Parts 1, II & III Gloria Chuku Africana Studies, UMBC Published in History Compass, August 2018 https://doi.org/10.1111/hic3.12489 Abstract Igbo historiography has advanced since the publication of the epic narrative of Olaudah Equiano in 1789 and its different versions, especially that of Paul Edwards, a British literary historian in 1969. The main objective of this essay is to demonstrate the vitality and diversity of Igbo historical studies and provide informative and thoughtful interpretations of its strengths and weaknesses. In three parts, the essay examines the origin, dispersal and settlement of the people; sociopolitical institutions and organization; economic systems, including slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, and the colonial economy; Igbo religion, Islam, Christianity and Western education; colonial encounter; the Igbo in precolonial and modern Nigeria with focus on intergroup relations, ethnicity and the Nigeria-Biafra War; and Igbo intellectual history. The essay makes a spirited critique of areas of overemphasis and the conceptual and methodological issues. It suggests important neglected themes that require further historical investigations. Its primary goal is to nudge Igbo historiography in new and challenging directions and inspire historians interested in Igbo studies to adopt a historiographical approach that emphasizes currency, relevance and usability. Igbo Historiography: Part I Introduction Igbo historiography has advanced since the publication of the epic narrative of Olaudah Equiano, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano (1789) and its different versions, especially that of Paul Edwards, a British literary historian in 1969 (Carretta, 2005; Chuku, 2013b; Edwards, 1969; Equiano, 1995; Green, 1995; Sapoznik, 2013; Walvin, 1998).
