I see my research as a classical one to have your name associated with my thesis. I am proud to benefit from your invaluable experience and encouragements. I remember when I embarked on this research, you encouraged me to do my best and that my writing style would greatly improve over the research period. Thank you for teaching me critical thinking and writing. I dedicate my five journal articles, published during my research to you, for not only editing but ensuring that they were publishable. My conference papers and PowerPoint slides were never complete until you put your classical academic touch on them; hence, their subsequent success. Your unflinching support brought me this far, I cannot thank you enough. My profound gratitude goes to my second supervisor Professor Sam Kasule, who not only believed in my capability to achieve this mighty task but went extra miles to bring the best out of my knowledge. Thank you for taking extra time to supervise me, I am forever grateful.

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.

We see “communities” as creatures with an extraordinary and actually . quite sinister political life in the ground of real history. Kelly and Kaplan (2001:199) “Community” is an archetypal keyword in the sense deployed by Raymond Williams (1976). A “binding” word, suturing certain activities and their interpretation, community is also “indicative” (Williams’s term once again) in certain forms of thought. Deployed in the language for at least five hundred years, community has carried a range of senses denoting actual groups (for example “commoners” or “workers”) and connoting specific qualities of social relationship (as in communitas). By the nineteenth century, community was, of course, invoked as a way of talking about much larger issues, about modernity itself. Community—and its sister concepts of tradition and custom—now stood in sharp contrast to the more abstract, instrumental, individuated, and formal properties of state or society in the modern sense. A related shift in usage subsequently occurred in the twentieth century, when community came to refer to a form or style of politics distinct from the formal repertoires of national or local politics.

  • Unity in Diversity: a Comparative Study of Selected Idioms in Nembe (Nigeria) and English

    Unity in Diversity: a Comparative Study of Selected Idioms in Nembe (Nigeria) and English

    Intercultural Communication Studies XXIII: 2 (2014) TEILANYO Unity in Diversity: A Comparative Study of Selected Idioms in Nembe (Nigeria) and English Diri I. TEILANYO University of Benin, Nigeria Abstract: Different linguistic communities have unique ways of expressing certain ideas. These unique expressions include idioms (as compared with proverbs), often being fixed in lexis and structure. Based on assumptions and criticisms of the Sapir-Whorfian Hypothesis with its derivatives of cultural determinism and cultural relativity, this paper studies certain English idioms that have parallels in Nembe (an Ijoid language in Nigeria’s Niger Delta). It is discovered that while the codes (vehicles) of expression are different, the same propositions and thought patterns run through the speakers of these different languages. However, each linguistic community adopts the concepts and nuances in its environment. It is concluded that the concept of linguistic universals and cultural relativity complement each other and provide a forum for efficient communication across linguistic, cultural and racial boundaries. Keywords: Idioms, proverbs, Nembe, English, proposition, equivalence, Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, linguistic universals, cultural relativity 1. Introduction: Language and Culture (Unity or Diversity) The fact that differences in culture are reflected in the patterns of the languages of the relevant cultures has been recognized over time. In this regard, one of the weaknesses modern linguists find in classical (traditional) grammar is the “logical fallacy” (Levin, 1964, p. 47) which assumed “the immutability of language” (Ubahakwe & Obi, 1979, p. 3) on the basis of which attempts were made to telescope the patterns of modern European languages (most of which are at least in past “analytic”) into the structure of the classical languages like Greek and Latin which were largely “synthetic”.

  • Nollywood Interventions in Niger Delta Oil Conflicts: a Study of Jeta Amata's Black November

    Nollywood Interventions in Niger Delta Oil Conflicts: a Study of Jeta Amata's Black November

    NOLLYWOOD INTERVENTIONS IN NIGER DELTA OIL CONFLICTS: A STUDY OF JETA AMATA'S BLACK NOVEMBER Emmanuel Onyekachukwu Ebekue* & Michael Chidubem Nwoye* http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/og.v15i1.6 Abstract The discovery of oil in Oloibiri town in the Niger Delta region of southern Nigeria in 1956 has brought with it myriads of problems to the region. There has been lingering crisis in the region which has led to repeated loss of lives and properties. There have been countless efforts at finding a permanent solution to the conflict. However, there seems to be a renewed agitation and restiveness resulting from the stoppage of the amnesty program that was instituted by the late President YarAdua’s federal government. It is against this background that the researcher embarked on this work in order to critically x-ray Nollywood’s contribution to the peace effort with a special attention to JetaAmata’s Black November (2012). The researcher used the case study approach of the qualitative research method in analyzing his data. Findings from the research showed that any solution to the lingering crisis aimed at long term must adopt a populist approach. Key Words: Nollywood, Niger Delta, Oil, Conflict, Intervention 1.0 Introduction The importance of film in human society has been underscored by critics. However, the potential of the film medium are yet to be fully utilized for national uplift and human development. Many countries of the world with the United States of America (USA) and India at the vanguard have used the film medium to give their people a better life.
