Download or read book The Tiv and Their Southern Neighbours 1890 1990 written by Emmanuel Chiahemba Ayangaor and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the economic, political and socio-cultural relations of the Tiv people of Benue State with their southern neighbours. In pre-colonial times, the Tiv, needing additional farm lands, began displacing their southern neighbours and settling on their farms. In retaliation, teams of Ogirinya headhunters targeted lone Tiv women and farmers. The Tiv's answer to this loss of life was to adopt Ogirinya themselves, and clandestine mutual headhunting then became a standing blood feud that escaped the notice of the colonial administration for years. During an official inquiry into the causes of the 1985 Tsar-Obudu War, both parties confessed that Ogirinya was the main cause of their inter-ethnic wars. Once the leaders of the neighbouring local government areas agreed to ban Ogirinya and to set up a joint monitoring committee, peace returned to the borderlands. In addition to the conflicts, Ayangaor also covers the intermarriages, friendships, pacts, and palm wine drinking orgies of these interdependent peoples. This book is part of the African World Series, edited by Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, University of Texas at Austin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS BOOK ADVANCES INCULTURATION THEOLOGY. It builds on the failure of Catholicism to take root in regions like North Africa, which were part of the origins of Catholicism. It recognizes that Catholicism will be firmly rooted only where faith and culture enter a harmonious dialogue. The translation and adaptation models of evangelization, which were used in transmitting the Catholic faith in the past centuries, have proven inadequate in rooting the faith in many cultures. Contextual models are the most enduring. Researching the contextual worship experiences of educated young people in institutions of higher education in Tivland within central Nigeria, the book synthesizes an an analogical and harmonious relationship of faith and culture. ...

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This paper deals with womanhood in Tiv literary genres.

The Tiv of Middle-Belt Nigeria are a unique ethnic nationality whose feminine gender is regarded as the heart-beat of the householder, the measure of all things for the husband and the epicenter of the community.

She is neither marginalized nor oppressed and exploited in social, political, economic and religious spheres. Gender discrimination is sine qua non in traditional society though, it is benevolent.
