Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Forest: An African Traditional Definition is aimed at providing the conservationist with some basic ideas as to which cultural areas to explore (using a few African culturesfrom some ecologically and culturally rich forest zones of Cameroon that has earned the description of Africa in miniature due to its diversity and representativeness of ecological and cultural landscape that reflect the continentfor illustration) in order to direct him or her to the appropriate beliefs and customs that could be exploited in favour of conservation. There is no overemphasising that most, if not all, African cultures have at least some rudimentary aspects of conservation in the modern sense. These aspects constitute the strong colours that could be used to create an indelible picture of the importance of conservation on the continent.

Book excerpt: “A true classic of world literature . . . A masterpiece that has inspired generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world.” —Barack Obama “African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe.” —Toni Morrison Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebe's critically acclaimed African Trilogy. It is a classic narrative about Africa's cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it establishes a colonial presence on the continent. Told through the fictional experiences of Okonkwo, a wealthy and fearless Igbo warrior of Umuofia in the late 1800s, Things Fall Apart explores one man's futile resistance to the devaluing of his Igbo traditions by British political andreligious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order. With more than 20 million copies sold and translated into fifty-seven languages, Things Fall Apart provides one of the most illuminating and permanent monuments to African experience. Achebe does not only capture life in a pre-colonial African village, he conveys the tragedy of the loss of that world while broadening our understanding of our contemporary realities.

Download or read book The Spirituality of the Igbo People of Nigeria as an Example of Religious Modernization in a Global World written by Henry CHUKWUDI OKEKE and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there is no religion in the world, the world would more or less become a jungle. The world will be inhuman. Religion touches all aspects of human life. Identifying God's will in our world today has become a major problem for many religions of the world. In the past, in Igbo Traditional Religion, human sacrifice as well as the killing of twins were practised. For the Igbo traditionalists then, that was the will of the deities and equally not against God's will. But following the encounter of Igbo Traditional Religion with Christianity these are no longer practised. Misinterpretation of God's will by some religions of the world has given rise to religious violence, religious extremism, fanaticism and terrorism we are experiencing today in the world. For these problems to be resolved, it is pertinent that the study of various religions be taken seriously. This study should be aiming at better understanding, co-existence, respect for one another and frequent inter-religious dialogues among the various religions of the world. When this is achieved, the believers of various religions would realize that many are worshipping one God and their desire is to communicate with Him, although they may approach Him differently.
Download or read book Igbo Deities written by Sirius Ugo Art and published by Sirius Ugo Art. This book was released on with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the rebirth of the sacred arts of Igbo African spirituality by Sirius Ugo Art is to restore the glory of African methodology, and unveil the hidden African intelligence in our spiritual systems. As we are the ones witnessing the beginning of Uga Anwu, the age of enlightenment, it is our duty to lay the foundations of Anwu for the next generation. All the arts in this book were shot and digitally created by Sirius Ugo Art. They were all based on the fashion, designs, and decorations of the ancient Igbo people. Spirits are not human beings, however, spirits are manifested in human form because humans are spiritual beings experiencing materialism. The colors of the deities are also well-known in ancient Igbo. When a spirit is pure white, it represents purity, or the moon and sun. When a spirit is green, it represents life, health and Fertility. When a spirit is red, it represents blood, war, and power. When a spirit is dark in color, it represents dark energy. When a spirit is blue, it represents water, and air. All the deities work with one or two of the four elements. For example, Agunkwo works with Eke, while Nneono Oshimiri works with Orie. There are over seven hundred thousand Igbo deities. It would be impossible to create the arts of all Igbo deities, because that would be one claiming to understand all the energy forces in the universe, which is impossible. However, all the energy forces (Umu agbara nine) of the universe are different manifestations of Chukwu na Nnechukwu. Igbo people do not believe that humans created umu agbara. Igbo enlightens us that Umu Agbara (Energy forces) existed before humans. And that humans came to recognize them and work with them to become Agbara as well. A human being becomes Agbara through self Illumination.

Download or read book Africa Wo Man Palava written by Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-04-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ogunyemi uses the novels to trace a Nigerian women's literary tradition that reflects an ideology centered on children and community. Of prime importance is the paradoxical Mammywata figure, the independent, childless mother, who serves as a basis for the postcolonial woman in the novels and in society at large. Ogunyemi tracks this figure through many permutations, from matriarch to writer, her multiple personalities reflecting competing loyalties. This sustained critical study counters prevailing "masculinist" theories of black literature in a powerful narrative of the Nigerian world.
