  • SIGNIFICANCE of ANIMAL MOTIFS in INDIGENOUS ULI BODY and WALL PAINTINGS Nkiruka Jane Uju Nwafor Department of Fine and Applied A
    Mgbakoigba, Journal of African Studies. Vol. 8, No. 1. June 2019 SIGNIFICANCE OF ANIMAL MOTIFS IN INDIGENOUS ULI BODY AND WALL PAINTINGS… Nkiruka Jane Uju Nwafor SIGNIFICANCE OF ANIMAL MOTIFS IN INDIGENOUS ULI BODY AND WALL PAINTINGS Nkiruka Jane Uju Nwafor Department of Fine and Applied Arts Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. [email protected] This article explores the significance of animal motifs in traditional Uli body and wall paintings. A critical assessment and understanding of the philosophical import of animals in African concept of existence is vital for an in-depth appreciation of their (animals’) symbols in indigenous African artworks. This paper attempts to a draw parallel between traditional beliefs concerning certain animals among the Igbo of south-eastern Nigeria and motifs derived from indigenous Uli body and wall painting. In essence, the article sees animal motifs in Uli body and wall paintings as playing an aesthetic as well as metaphysical roles. Hence I argue that local nuances of religiosity and spirituality have historically imbued the animals with a heightened sense of sacredness in some Igbo communities thus allowing the animals to occupy a mystical space in Igbo cosmology. Introduction The pre-colonial system of knowledge transmission in Africa was not only through oral literature but also through the varied artistic traditions that survived from one generation to the other. The rich heritage of ancient Egyptian arts (including the hieroglyphs), the numerous Neolithic rock paintings and engravings found in Northern Africa, which dates back to 5000 and 2000 BCE respectively were mainly symbolic of vital occurrences of the past, documented through art (Getlein 2002: 335).

  • Affixes and Tone in Aguata Igbo: a Critical Appraisal
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 6, Ver.12 (June. 2017) PP 27-33 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Affixes and Tone in Aguata Igbo: A Critical Appraisal Chinwe E. Obianika Department of Linguistics and Literary Studies, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki. Abstract: This work sets out to investigate the behavior of tone in the affixes involved in the formation of three aspects in Aguata Igbo. The dialect group comprises of three main dialects; Amaiyi, Orumba and Aguata. Three respondents are selected to represent each dialect. The data are collected through personal interview and analyzed descriptively to find out how these aspects are realized in each dialect to ascertain their level of similarities and differences. In the findings, there are variations both in the affixes and in the tone patterns indicating that they are different (though related) dialects of the Igbo language, contrary to popular notion that they all speak the same dialect. Keywords: dialect, verb forms, tone, aspect, Igbo language I. INTRODUCTION Aguata is a geographical area that was mapped out as an administrative area in the pre-independent Nigeria and became a local government area during the Obasanjo regime of the 1970s. It is bounded on the north and west by the old Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State and on the east by Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State. There are about forty nine autonomous communities that make up this region. They include but not limited to Ụmụuchu, Achina, Mkpologwu, Akpo, Enugwu-Ụmụọnyịa, Agbụdụ, Amesi, Ụmụọmakụ, Ụmụalaọma, Ekwuluọbịa, Oko, Isuọfịa, Igboukwu, Agụlụezechukwu, Nanka, Ụga, Ezinifite, Ụmụọna, Ikenga, One, Awgbụ, Ufuma, Ajali and so on.

Five different commercial Yoghurts, namely Hamdala, Rufaida, Gamji, Alhilal and Batulah were purchased from distributors in Birnin Kebbi metropolis. Using culture growth medium (Potato dextrose Agar) and poured plate method, the fungi species present were analyzed. A total of five (5) fungal species were isolated and identified from the samples. These include Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Penicillium, Fusarium species and Mucor species. The results obtained from the samples analyzed showed that the Yoghurts samples had fungal load in the range of 1.2 x 105 (as the lowest fungal count in Gamji and Hamdala Yoghurts) and 8.0 x 106 (as the highest fungal count in Batula, Alhalal and Rufaida yoghurts). The highest levels of fungal species identified from this study could be attributed to poor processing method, environment, equipment used and preservation method adopted by these industries.
