Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities & Social Sciences RUWAZA AFRIKA Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities & Social Sciences ISSN 2225-7144 Vol. V DECEMBER, 2017 ISSUE RUWAZA AFRIKA Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities & Social Sciences * MISSION & PURPOSE Research is about the creation of human knowledge and understanding; how this knowledge is advanced, expanded, and extrapolated or spawned into multifarious and variegated ways and strategies directed towards mitigation and solution of the problems humanity faces in its existence. In this regard, therefore, research may be regarded as particularistic. On the one hand, research may be focused on matters of social and contemporary concern to a particular group of people, or it may be deemed as irrelevant or of peripheral importance to the same group. Yet on another hand, research may be couched in paradigms and practices that are removed from the knowledge and system of development of a group; in this case, research may be confusing, confounding, and of no practical applicability to those it is meant to educate and benefit. Research in Africa and about Africa has always suffered this bifurcation of (ir)-relevance. This is because African society encountered alien influence in its intellectual and social transformation; this encounter with the west has had its ‘ghosts,’ as well as its ‘graces’. African intellectuals and philosophers must seek to cut out an authentic African niche in scholarship, so that our knowledge and ways of knowing be identified and respected for what they truly are. RUWAZA is derived from Kiswahili Language and cultural discourse to mean ‘vision and direction’ for Africa. The Journal is targeted at the development of research in Humanities and Social Sciences in Africa, about Africa and for Africa; it is hoped that by an incessant engagement of African scholars in academic discourse new ideas, ways and means will emerge through which to address Africa’s myriad issues and problems. i EDITORIAL PREFACE RUWAZA AFRIKA: Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities & Social Sciences is a formal representation of the academic generation of knowledge and ideas on the basis of socio-scientific research in the academies and Universities of Africa. The mandate of this journal is to nurture authentic and original African ways and paradigms of knowing and thinking in order that Africa’s place in human civilisation is finally fully realised and recognised. The Journal is currently housed by the School of Humanities & Social Sciences, Pwani University, Kilifi, Kenya, and has its board of editors and scholars drawn from across Kenya and Nigeria; our aim is to include scholars from every nook and cranny of Africa so that our scholarship is inclusive. Articles and research reports are welcome for submission from all areas of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and, if accepted, will be included in the relevant section of the cognate discipline. The sections are formally recognised through an informed categorisation of the accepted articles into relevant disciplines and sub-disciplines which fall in different parts; it is our hope that these parts may in future be distinct issues of the journal. Currently, the areas identified include: LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS, COMMUNICATION & MEDIA; LITERATURE, ART, FILM & ETHNOMUSICOLOGY; PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION; HISTORY, POLITICS & GOVERNMENT; SOCIOLOGY & ANTHROPOLOGY; GEOGRAPHY & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE; EDUCATION & PSYCHOLOGY. In order to qualify for inclusion in RUWAZA, articles must be original; they must deliberate on particular theoretical premises, and deal with replicable data to advance the said premises. In addition, the conventional formatting and style of presentation should be either the APA or MLA, but both must NOT be mixed. Submitted articles must also be in font size 12, Times New Roman, and should not be more than 20 pages A4 size FS, should have an Abstract (with Key Words), Introductory Background, Theoretical background, Methodological Approach, Discussion and Summary. Articles may be submitted for consideration any time of the year; however, articles submitted before the 31st March deadline of any year will qualify for inclusion in the June Issue, while those submitted before 30th September will qualify for inclusion in the December Issue. ii EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief Yakobo J.K.

Box 15259, Nakuru-20100, Kenya Official e-mail address: [email protected] Phone: +254-786-555369 iv FOREWORD The current issue of RUWAZA AFRIKA JOURNAL has stayed for quite a while in its development stages owing to a number of hiccups; these issues and problems should soon be a thing of the past owing to several attempts made by the editorial board to seek for interesting and interested partners who may soon support us so that we may offset publication costs. Furthermore, we have become a reference for a significant number of researchers and scholars, who are jostling for space to have their papers included in the RAJ. RUWAZA V has endeavored to include eighteen (18) articles in its publication. In the Language, Linguistics, Communication & Media part, there are contributions in Linguistics and Kiswahili studies. In the earlier section Aura presents the results of her doctoral research in Linguistics in which she delves into morphology of the Luwanga verb; operating on the Optimality Theory, this paper demonstrates the constraints that bear upon the possibilities of choice within the structure of the language. Still in the Linguistics section, Oyelakin’s paper justifies the controversial Contrastive Analysis in order to use it in the analysis of English and Yoruba sentences; the scholar suggests that this is useful especially in a bilingual situation where both languages compete for communicative space. Ireri’s paper considers features of emphasis in the use of Kimuthambi, a dialect of the Meru language, spoken to the north-east of Mt. Kenya. This work analyses emphasis as a feature of the speech act within Austin’s (1962) Speech Act theory. Kinuthia & Mutiti’s article is a critical discourse analysis attempt on the struggle for power and space in the context of Gikuyu marriage cultural discourse. In the Kiswahili studies section, Swaleh presents her doctoral investigation on the comparative use of personal pronominal markings between the Kitikuu dialect of Kiswahili and the formally established or standardized form of Kiswahili; this work harps on Chomsky’s minimalist program as the basis of its analysis. King’ang’i and Chai’s paper, just like Kinuthia & Mutiti’s ‘operationalizes’ Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis in the analysis of the Miraa or Khat trade activities in the locality of Eastleigh, Nairobi, Kenya. This paper focuses gender and tribe as categories of power contestation, and the social equilibrium of relations thus engendered. Ouma & Chai’s paper critically examines the discourse of Kenyan male urbanized youth to check on the traces of male chauvinistic attitude; they find this of significance especially because it reflects how society is socializing its youth in regard to gender relations. Yerindabo, Chimerah and Beja’s paper considers the structure of reflexives in the Kinyankore Language, while Gacheiya and Chai’s paper is about the double-edged gender relations in Male-to-male, Male-to- Female, and Female-to-Female talk, and how power is aspired for, gained and maintained. Wanyenya, Chimerah and Ngowa’s paper appraises the culture of story-telling amongst the Masaaba of Uganda. The Literature, Art, Film & Ethnomusicology part is divided into three sections. In the Literature section, Mamudu’s paper is an exploration of irony in the Nigerian short story, while Aladesanmi critiques Yoruba ethical values through an examination of Adiitu Olodumare, a common dance. v Further, Mamudu offers a literary criticism of Razinat Mohamed’s A Love like a Woman’s using Sigmund Freud’s kaleidoscope on the interpretation of dreams in real life. In the Ethnomusicology section, Kayode and Olapade investigate the development of Gbókùs music from a church brigade to a popular folk genre with a social function. The Visual Fine Arts section offers a new look to the journal; Bardi demonstrates the use of stain—it may actually be transformed into a two dimensional fundamental with infinite possibilities of artistic creation. Bardi and Ifeyinwa Bardi again present an explication on the introduction of A FUNCTIONAL EDUCATIONAL COURSE [FFA 010] in order to adopt an improved Syllabus B as

I agree that this dissertation may be available for reference and photocopy at the discretion of MF Norwegian School of Theology 2 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my daughters Secret Anyango and Glory Atieno, my son Emmanuel Ochieng, and to my wife Magdalene A. Nerima. 3 ABSTRACT Unity is a moral requirement in both religious and secular life. In a highly religious society, morals and values are much informed by the religious precepts. For traditional cultures, morality is by custom, and for secular cultures, morality is by reason, Moyo, quoted in Kim and Kim, (Kim and Kim, 2008, p. 66). Most African cultures today, moral issues are informed by both the religion they ascribe to, traditional culture which is still very strong and to some extend reason. The church has been accused of taking sides when a crisis arises, a time when unity is really needed. For example, during conflicts that are ethnic in nature, churches stand in solidarity with their ethnic side of affiliation.

This is an attempt to write the story of Scripture translations in Kenya. The story started in 1845 when J.L. Krapf, a German C.M.S. missionary, started his translations of Scriptures into Swahili, Galla and Kamba. The work of translation has since continued to go from strength to strength. There were many problems during the pioneer days. Translators did not know well enough the language into which they were to translate, nor could they get dependable help from their illiterate and semi­ literate converts.
