Download or read book Studies in Urhobo Culture written by Peter Palmer Ekeh and published by Urhobo Historical Society. This book was released on 2005 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book is the product of pioneering research carried out by scholars native to the Urhobo culture and language. Unlike many of the other major ethnic cultures in Nigeria, which were studied by Western anthropologist in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Urhobo language and culture remained neglected. Studies in Urhobo Culture represents a comparatively new area of research, approached from an indigenous perspective. The result is a wide-ranging survey of Urhobo culture in Nigeria, offering diverse perspectives on topics such as: naming traditions and practices of the Urhobo; religious beliefs, values and movements; traditions of marriage; artistic productions, food and dress subcultures; and the geography of Urhoboland and agricultural practices. In-depth consideration is given to Urhobo traditional poetry and the intellectual aspects of Urhobo culture and language, within the wider complex of the Edoid languages and cultures. The contributors further situate the language question within the global context of language endangerment, arguing the Urhobo case is an example of how English and Pidgin are imperilling small and medium-sized languages in Africa, and weakening the hold of indigenous cultures on the younger generation.

Download or read book The Vicar s Dog written by Bode Meshioye and published by Olabode Meshioye. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One who has faced the evil that lurks in darkness comes to cherish the gentle grace of moonlight... Innocent mistake unravels dark secrets and divine deceptions among people of faith. In the early morning of the month of May, 1952, the African sun blazed with its usual intensity as the missionaries arrived, their presence met with warm, curious hospitality. They approached the local customs with sensitivity and humility, navigating the complex introduction of a foreign deity to the native people. The serene community's peace was soon disrupted by an unexpected event—the mysterious disappearance of Collar, the Vicar’s wife’s beloved Chihuahua. This seemingly trivial incident set off a chain of events that tested the faith and resilience of both the missionaries and the villagers. The Vicar’s Dog is a satirical exploration of the intricate dynamics between an African settlement and the influence of foreign religions, when a single act of youthful folly ignites a cascade of revelations and consequences.

Download or read book Britain s Killing Fields written by John Igbino and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain kept meticulous records of its casualties in Southern Nigeria, but it did not collect and keep any coherent records of the casualties it inflicted on the so-called natives. Britain's failure to collect and keep "natives"' casualty statistics was not an unconscious omission. Instead it was a deliberate policy because it placed considerably less value on the lives of "natives" compared to European lives. It held that a drop of European blood was worth four times more than “natives’” blood. The death of a District Officer on active duty was worth the lives of up to two hundred “natives” and it took twenty “natives” to service a Political Officer on the field. Additionally, it accepted the arguments of its top commander, Colonel Arthur Montanaro, that "natives" were engaged in illegal resistance to His Majesty’s Government, therefore while he had a duty to crush their resistance to the British Government he was not duty bound to account for their deaths. Accordingly, the book explores these untold aspects of British History, particularly the computation of the number of Indigenous people of the landmass which became Southern Nigeria who were killed between 1900 and 1930 during one of the bloodiest periods in the history of Southern Nigeria as British troops of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF) and the West African Service Brigade (WASB) rampaged through Southern Nigeria. In its explorations the book posed and addressed the following questions: how many Indigenous people of Southern Nigeria were killed by the British Army between 1900 and 1930? What were the names of the people who were killed? Were there women and children among the dead? How old were they when they died? Where were they buried? Who buried them there? What were the prevailing political circumstances when they were killed? Under what military circumstances were they killed? Was there a state of war between the Indigenous people of Southern Nigeria and Britain when they were killed? The book’s sources were unpublished original archival documents at the National Archives. These document sources included Ordinances, Proclamations, Admiralty’s and Crown Agents’ papers, High Commissioners’, Governor-General’s and Lieutenant-Governor’s Correspondences and Despatches. The Correspondences and Despatches included field reports compiled by British Army Officers, Field Commanders, British Police Commissioners, Political Officers, District Officers (DO), District Commissioners, Divisional Officers, Divisional Commissioners and Provincial Commissioners. These sources are kept in the following Colonial Office Documents series: Southern Nigeria (CO520/series) and Nigeria (CO583/series).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Nehemiah on Leadership, we are going to delve into the Biblical story of Nehemiah and what his example can mean for us in this contemporary day. You see, I believe that the story of Nehemiah and his success can help us become better parents, better executives, better employees, better friends, better team members…better people. Why? Because the book of Nehemiah in the Old Testament is all about leadership. Leadership is the key to all success. When we become better leaders, we become better--at everything! Leadership expert Dr. John C. Maxwell said this about Nehemiah, “The man saw a need, rose up, captured a vision, laid a plan, and mobilized others to join him in his cause. In a nutshell, that’s the story of Nehemiah, a classic case study in leadership.” (The Maxwell Leadership Bible).
