Nigerian Universities’ ‘Original Sin’
Tim Livsey’s Nigeria’s University Age: Reframing Decolonisation and Development is a major contribution to the history of the early years of Nigerian higher education. Much of what Livsey identifie
Alaroye
Nigerian newspapers, like newspapers elsewhere, are often established as part of the apparatus for the extension of personal or group interests, to mobilize and contest meaning in the overall project of constructing hegemony in an ethnically fractious polity. In this article, I trace the emergence ofAlaroye, the best-known Yoruba-language newspaper today, by identifying its survival strategies and stabilization against the changing circumstances …
Arugba
Based on field studies conducted during two attendances at the Osun Osogbo festival, on 24 August 2012 and 21 August 2015, and a close reading of Arugba (2008), a Yorùbá video-film celebrating Osun and her votive supplicant Arugba, I demonstrate how Nigerian filmmaker Tunde Kelani represents Arugba as a direct medium of the spirits, communicant of the spiritual world and, therefore, possessor of Osun’s magical powers. Arugba, in this video-film, …

Voice and the new media in the classification of Yoruba neo-traditional music
The place of voice, or the vocal mode, has long been recognised in the classification of Yoruba oral poetry, which includes Yoruba songs and dance music. The emergence of new media, especially instrumentation, itself an important factor in the typology of Yoruba poetry, has given the voice added valence in the taxonomisation of Yoruba songs. This paper identifies and seeks to situate the human voice, primal instrument of the singer, as the crucia…
He(art) of the metre
The historical rise of African literature in Europhone languages, particularly English and French, as a social and disciplinary practice directed at the recuperation of the fractured African persona and world view following centuries of (mis)representation in Western-authored texts, has conferred on it an adversarial tone that is generally viewed as the archetypal character of African literature that is productive of other categories of ethnic/na…
