Food, Migration, and Place Consciousness in Chika Unigwe's Better Never than Late
They Do Not Eat a Wife's Beauty
Names and naming practices convey various nuances of meaning in the Bette sociocultural setting. Against this significant backdrop, this study examines proverbial names as figurative and overt communicative strategies among the Bette people of northern Cross River State in south-eastern Nigeria. The qualitative data were elicited through semi-structured interviews and informal interactions from purposively selected twenty name-givers and ten name…
Sexual jokes in Nigerian stand-up comedy
Nigerian stand-up comic artists explore emerging social, religious, and political issues as materials for comic entertainment within their performance space and community of practice. One of the resources for comic performance is the recourse to sexual contents which are deployed to reduce apprehension around stereotyped norms about sex and sexuality in the Nigerian sociocultural context. Drawing on ethnographic qualitative data using social medi…
The Poetics of Place and Belonging in Joe Ushie’s Poetry
Joe Ushie’s poetry is highly expressive of a poet persona’s place consciousness. In this paper I interrogate selected poems that articulate a sense of place and belonging in his four collections of poems: Popular Stand and Other Poems (1992), Lambs at the Shrine (1995), Hill Songs (2000), and A Reign of Locust (2004). Utilising the theoretical provisions of postcolonial ecocriticism, I see his imagery as a creative strategy to express his belongi…
Christianity and the Gendering of Personal Names among the Bette in Southeastern Nigeria
Contributing to extant debates on the juncture of naming and gender(ing), this study interrogates naming practices among Bette-Christians of northern Cross River, Southeastern Nigeria, and how they enhance understanding of the relation between naming and the enunciation of religious identity as well as how gender is enacted. With analytical insights from socio-onomastic theory, which explores the relationship between names, culture, and society, …
Satire, Agency and the Contestation of Patriarchy in Ibibio Women's Songs
The article explores the way Ibibio women in Akwa Ibom State, South-eastern Nigeria use satirical songs to challenge (or endorse) conservative gender ideologies and stereotypes in a bid to access power and agency within their patriarchal society. Drawing on ethnographic qualitative data sourced through participant observations, semi-structured interviews and metalinguistic conversations with twenty participants, and analysing a corpus of fifteen …
Names, Naming and the Code of Cultural Denial in a Contemporary Nigerian Society
This article explores the rejection of indigenous African (first) names and the preference for European and westernized names by some Nigerian youth, especially those living in Calabar metropolis, Cross River State, South-eastern Nigeria. The article investigates the personal, cultural and social motivations for foreign names adoption and the subjective interpretations of both rejected and adopted first names. The study is rooted in the Afrocentr…
An Ethnopragmatic Study of Libation Rituals among the Kiong-speaking Okoyong People in Southeastern Nigeria
Libation rituals are essential components of African culture and spirituality. They are a rich mixture of religious, social, and cultural performances that bind members of the audience together by emphasizing their common roots through the invocation of supernatural powers on particular sociocultural occasions. Among the Kiong-speaking Okoyong people in Odukpani, southern Cross River State, southeastern Nigeria, libation rituals are part of a way…
Youth and linguistic stylization in Naija Afro Hip Hop
Naija Afro Hip hop is Nigeria’s unique Hip Hop music and, arguably, one of Africa’s most dominant contemporary youth-based popular music genres. This youthful music brand has artfully exploited the complex and exciting technological revolution of its time to evolve a formidable industry and establish an intriguing youth sub-culture that has a serious impact on the socio-political and economic landscape of Nigeria. One of the key factors that acco…
Neo-Colonialism, Postcolonialism and the Bane of Neoessentialist Theorising in Current African Literature
This paper is a response to Joseph Ushie’s argument for Neo-colonialism rather than Postcolonialism as the most appropriate theory for the criticism of what he calls Current African Literature. His proposition is based on the premise that Postcolonialism as a theory runs counter to the neo-colonial situation of Africa since the attainment of flag independence by different African nations. Hence, neo - colonialism answers directly to the socio-pol…
