This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of reading on religion and culture in Africa comprising ten papers by experts in religion and cultural matters and an introductory note by the editor himself. Covered in the volume are papers covering: the impact of secularisation and urbanisation on a most cherished socio-cultural practice of the extended family system of the Isoko people in Nigeria; the traditional medical practices in Urhobo with particular focus on the use of local herbs to treat ailments; the socioreligious as well as the political significance of Obiri (family hall) in Ikwerreland; the rationale behind the use of the concept ‘Dunamis’ in the Gospel According to Staint Mark. Although his paper does not focus on African (traditional) religion, its inclusion here is based purely on the theological significance of the concept of ‘Dunamis’; the extent to which evil spirits and mysterious forces have influenced the religion and culture of the Urhobo people of Nigeria; the significance of festivals in the traditional African society; John Wesley’s innovations in Christendom and their implications for Africa; the recent unprecedented upsurge in the assumed use of religious powers to cast out evil spirits as well as for prayer healing among Muslims in Nigeria; the culture of alienation, anxiety and violence, drawing inspiration from the Fall Story of Genesis 3; and the widowhood practices of some areas in Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the House of Skulls, one of the lost cultures of the Niger Delta. The House of Skulls was a European label for a house built by some Niger Delta communities with the skulls of their enemies killed in war. The case is used to argue that barbarism is not endemic to African Culture, but rather part of the primitive instinct of man and the House of Skulls, as evidence of human sacrifice, and headhunting in the Niger Delta and its hinterland in pre-colonial times was not worse than some of the practices, both African and European, which have been documented. In doing so the study provides fresh insights into the history of one of the lost cultures of the Niger Delta; a culture much modified in contemporary times.

This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book 10 Reasons Igbo People are Rich and Successful Business People which gives "The Secrets of Igbo Economic Power," Humphrey has successfully produced in a very concise book, answers to the enigma - what makes the Igbo man what he is in Nigeria today - admired as he is feared, loved as he is hated, welcome as he is avoided... ...In a style of unmatched simplicity and candor, Humphrey has succeeded in presenting a "must read" handbook or 10 Commands of Igbo man's advancement. This book is recommended to all Igbos and non-Igbos in Nigeria and Diaspora to widen their understanding of what makes an Igbo man what he is." Chief S. N. Okeke OON (Ochendo) B.Sc (LON) FNIVS, FRICS, LLD ..".The book, "Ten Reasons Igbo People Are Rich & Successful Business People" lets out "The Secret of Igbo Economic Power." Without saying so, the book reveals the bases of the problems of Nd'Igbo in Nigeria and in other countries. The Jews understand this story very well - and so do the Berbers... ...The corruption that is fueled by Oil Money, combined with apparent death of conscience in Nigeria, has weakened values, especially the value of hard work. And so Nigeria grows backwards, remaining in the kindergarten, while those that started the development race with her, are far into the tertiary levels. It seems to be the case that as the Igbo remains down politically, so must Nigeria remain down economically. And this is a lesson, easily deducible from, but not advertised in Humphrey Kanayo Akaolisa's book, which every literate Nigerian should take as a must-read!!!" Okwadike Chukwuemeka Ezeife, CON Ph.D Havard (Econs) Garkuwan Fika, Akintolugboye of Egbaland ..".The Igbo creativity and talents in great and successful business enterprises or business management is a good thing which many of us wise Nigerians must learn from. My best friends are of Igbo origin..." Chief Gabriel Agada KSJ Chairman, Chida Int'l Hotel The Omachi of Attah Igala This book which is on a class of its own, is a must read for Nd'Igbo and everybody. It is a motivating epistle for all who want to develop and think outside the box. Emeka Igwilo The Igbo has often presented himself as an enigma to the world, his fellow countrymen in Nigeria and sometimes even to himself. The enigma surrounding the Igbo including his origin, worldview, character, wealth, inclinations, etc. had often led to general misunderstanding of this people. The studies of this people from different perspectives seem to hold the key to bringing this people to a better understanding to the world and to himself. The Igbo development of great and successful business enterprises or business oriented minds is only one window to studying the Igbo people. This study is good for the Igbo-man who may cherish the understanding of himself and see a reason to continue to cultivate and advance some of his social endowments consciously, and to others who may want to emulate or learn from this little SECRET of the Igbo people. In this little handbook are so many reasons, summed up in ten points, that make a deep analysis of the forces behind Igbo prowess in business, not just in trade, but whatever is intrinsically called serious business.
Download or read book Interface Between Igbo Theology and Christianity written by Akuma-Kalu Njoku and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interface between Igbo Theology and Christianity is a timely book that provides new scholarly thinking concerning the convergence of Christianity and Igbo Traditional Religion taking place in the Igbo culture area. This book, a fruit of multidisciplinary conversation among Igbo scholars and Igbophiles, offers concepts, themes, issues, and case studies with deep ethnographic details, some of which do not exist anywhere else in print. It is a major statement of how modern Igbo scholars, social scientists, philosophers, theologians, liturgists, and active pastors and parish priests, understand the intersection of Igbo Traditional Religion and Christianity in postcolonial Nigeria. The editors and authors of the chapters of this book draw from their wealth of experience to offer to students, scholars, researchers, community-based organizations and NGOs, and practitioners in interfaith dialogue a “must have” manual to engage in and develop mutual respect and trust among Christian denominations and between them and Igbo Traditional Religion. This book will serve as a blueprint for a deep dialogue among the Igbo in both city and rural settings, in the context of clan and community life context and in the Christian parish setting. The book will certainly appeal to numerous communities in Africa wishing to share similar local experiences and collective memories, but which do not have the channels to talk about themselves in scholarly writing.
