Women and Witchcraft Accusations in Colonial Nigeria
In terms of witchcraft accusations, Nigeria occupies the unenviable position as one of the most female-gender unfriendly nations of the world. To date, witchcraft accusations are still part of Nigerian daily life experiences. However, this article emphasizes witchcraft accusation during the colonial period in Nigeria. The available demographic evidence of witchcraft stigmatizations points mainly at women. This article relies therefore on fragment…
Horse-related title taking and animal cruelty in colonial eastern Nigeria
Horse trading was an important aspect of the Igbo economy and horse-related title taking was a unique feature among various Nigerian groups, especially in eastern Nigeria. The demand for the introduction of humane horse killers in eastern Nigeria was heightened by the economic drive of the colonial political economy, and was not necessarily a consideration for the harmful treatment of animals. Horse-related title taking was accompanied by the inc…

Socio-Economic Transformations in Nigeria
The missionary education curriculum had been hotly debated among African scholars. They argued that they taught subjects which subverted African indigenous knowledge and culture. Thus, in their haste to produce court clerks, interpreters and catechists, they produced alienated Africans who looked down on their culture and tradition as “barbaric and heathen.” However, at the outset of the missionary educational establishment, the pioneer students …

With the advent of western civilization came speculations that these African…

Since the failed attempt at secession from Nigeria in 1970, after a 30-month civil war, the Igbo ethnic nationality—who constituted the majority of the defunct Biafra Republic, have sought avenues to (re)create the memories of the short-lived country.In the political space, they attempted establishing Ohaneze Ndigbo—as an umbrella socio-political organization for recreating and projecting the Igbo agenda. This, to a large extent, has not achieved…
Not Every Extramarital Sex Is Adultery
Extramarital sex is culturally abnormal among the Igbo of Southeastern Nigeria. This is not to say that it does not exist. Olaudah Equiano was the first Igbo indigenous historian who researched Igbo life when he published his narratives in 1789. Unfortunately, most of the parameters he used in measuring and reconstructing Igbo life have been questioned by many leading Igbo academics and one of such areas is the Igbo view of extramarital sex. Equi…
The Advertisement of Alcohol in Colonial and Post-Colonial Times in Southern Nigeria
Until the arrival of Europeans to the coast of Africa, indigenous alcohol brands were heavily consumed.
