Making African names trendy
This study examines an aspect of linguistic globalization known as Englishisation (Kachru 1994; Boussebaa & Brown 2016; Mensah 2021) by adopting the sociolinguistic approach to investigate the creative modifi cations of some Igbo indigenous names with the aim of ascertaining their underpinnings and implications for linguistic and cultural diversity in a globalized world. The findings reveal that in addition to contact and assimilation, the quest …
Poetic Kaleidoscope
This article examines judicial corruption in Nigeria as a systemic issue through the lens of “My Lord, Tell Me Where to Keep Your Bribe,” a poem by Niyi Osundare. Informed by the need to explore how poetry engages with the wider cultural, institutional, and historical discourses on corruption through the theory of new historicism, it discusses judicial corruption in Nigeria and its effects on society. It highlights the manner, dimensions, and str…
Creative dynamism and religious syncretism in Igbo oral funeral songs
Igbo oral funeral songs are dynamic and resilient oral forms. Applying the tenets of an infracultural model of ethnopoetics to study Igbo oral funeral songs collected during fieldwork, in this article, I examine the emerging trend in most Igbo communities of the co-existence, modification, and adaptation of Christian/western ideals into the mainstream repertoire of Igbo oral funeral songs. I therefore examine a situation where Igbo oral performer…
Incarnations of the spirits
This study explores performative features of a children's masking performance carried out among the Igbo of Southeastern Nigeria. Informed by the need to interrogate the cultural dimensions of the Bakhtinian notion of the carnivalesque, it discusses the extent to which some Igbo children's masking activities resemble carnival performance. Using data drawn from fieldwork and conceptual precepts from carnivalesque theory, the study analyses Igbo ch…
Critical Ecopoetics
This article explores the link between literature and the environment by examining the ingenious application of poetry by two Nigerian poets to draw people's attention to the debilitating effects of their actions on the human ecosystem. Based on Niyi Osundare's poetry collection The Eye of the Earth and Nnimmo Bassey's We Thought it was Oil but it was Blood, the paper shows how issues relating to human ecology can be masterfully interwoven in the…
Corruption in Contemporary Nigerian Poetry
Discussions on corruption in Nigeria are dominated by economists and social scientists with their scholastic discourse on the subject growing by the day that one wonders whether Nigerian creative writers, especially contemporary poets are not perturbed by the rising wave of corruption in the country. This article attempts to investigate the contributions of some Nigerian poets like Niyi Osundare, Odia Ofeimun, Idris Amali, Joe Ushie, Amanze Akpud…
Wisdom in Mournful Tunes
Death often engenders emotional outbursts in the form of chants, songs and recitations. In most parts of Africa, the death of an adult member of the society goes with the rendition of some peculiar songs in honour of the deceased and to contemplate on death as a natural phenomenon. Among the Igbo of South-eastern Nigeria, it is anathema to intone a funeral song at a moment or location where there is no bereavement. Such acts attract severe verbal…
