Like others who do research in Africa, I frequented local and regional markets during my stay in Cameroon, from November 1988 through July 1989. The large markets draw traders from all over the country as well as from Nigeria, Ghana, and the Republic of Benin. Many are women selling local goods; men sell furniture, electronic equipment, and automotive products. On one trip to the market in the coastal town of Limbe, I saw a woman offering fabric she described as "George" cloth (1) obtained in nearby Nigeria. The seller identified herself as Suwu, an indigenous ethnic group of the Limbe and Bimbia regions of Cameroon's Southwest Province. After Limbe, her venues included small markets on the way to Bimbia. Since our itineraries coincided, I offered to take her by car, but she declined, preferring her canoe. I then left to visit villages bordering the neighboring creeks formed by the Mungo and Tiko rivers, especially Mabeta, Bimbia, and unmapped Ijo fishing settlements.

Extractions: Posthumous birthday felicitations to him! So I use the occasion to rise to toast Zik and once again reflect on him â on his contribution to Nigeria, but particularly to the Igbos, right from when Zik allegedly stowed away to the United States in 1925, returned to Africa in 1934 and to Nigeria in 1937, and became Nigeriaâs first indigenous Governor-General in 1960, and its first (non-executive) President in 1963. I fully assert that next to God Almighty himself, Zik gave the Igbos the self-esteem that they rightly have today, for without Zik's personal assertiveness and inspiration in education, I fear that the Igbos would not be where they were today! God may have raised some body else up for the Igbos, but He chose to raise Zik up, and Zik did a darn good job of it. I will begin by "cutting and pasting" a little. While reading, please recall that Zik was born in 1904 and Obafemi Awolowo in 1909, to give context to the chronological and cultural milieu into which they were both born: they are both inextricably tied up with each other in the context of Nigeriaâs history.

93.03.09: The Role Of The African* Playwright As A Griot The continent, culture and people of africa have been invaded for an It isquite possible to trace indigenous african drama all the way to antiquity. http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1993/3/93.03.09.x.html
Extractions: Gerene L. Freeman In accordance with the African oral tradition, the griot is the guardian of his tribes history. A station prohibited to females, this was a responsibility delegated exclusively to males . . . and then only the son of a griot. However, the role of the griot is significant since it is with him that we mark the beginning of African literary tradition as we know it. The tradition of recording ones perspective of his political, social, economic and physical environment is still very much alive and vibrant. The intent of this creative writing curriculum is multi-faceted. First, and most obviously, it is designed to hone the writing skills of inner city African, Latino and white high school juniors and seniors. As a creative writing instructor at the Cooperative High School for the Arts and Humanities, I am developing a writing component which encompasses some aspects of African history to meet needs expressed by students themselves. Additionally, this unit of study is structured to enhance the African students sense of self. It will provide them with an understanding of the evolution of African history on the continent and in the United States as well as influences/impacts on and from cultures abroad. Simultaneously, Latino and white students will be sensitized to the history of the African.

Extractions: The study of women as a vital and autonomous social force, as well as the treatment of their weal and woes as an intrinsic part of overall social dynamics, is a child of very recent birth indeed (Afigbo 1989:7). M. I. Finley (1968:129) drew in the, 'The Silent Women of Rome ', attention to the fact that The Roman World was not the only one in history in which women remained in the background in politics and business'. The women of mid-Victorian England were equally without rights, equally victims of double standards of sexual morality. Equally, they were exposed to risk and ruin when they stepped outside the home and the church. C. Obbo (1980:1) referred to the invisibility of African women in any serious study of history and society; in spite of the fact that anthropology has not been an exclusive male preserve. If the state of African women's studies is as bad as these and other authorities suggest, it is not surprising that even now when the world appears to be waking to its responsibility in this regard, there are still segments of the field which continue to be in a state of some neglect. While topics such as marriage and family, the economic role and political rights of women have received a fair measure of attention, a subject like widowhood practices remains largely neglected. Many of such books have no entry whatever under the term 'widowhood' in their indexes. For the most part what passing references made to the institution are made under such subjects as 'burial' or 'funeral rites' and 'death'.

Nigerian Federalism In The 21st Century Nigeria exists, or subsists on the suppression of indigenous languages, Can a people, an entire nation, in fact hope to attain the height of their group http://www.yoruba.org/Magazine/Summer97/F6.html
Extractions: "Nigerian Federalism in The 21st Century" Keynote address by Chief (Dr.) Anthony Enahoro, C.F.R. to the 5th Yoruba National Convention held at Houston, TexasS, USA on Saturday, 26th April, 1997 Mr. chairman of the 5th Yoruba National Convention, Honorable delegates, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, May I begin by expressing my appreciation of the honor done to me in inviting me to deliver the keynote address in this convention. I assume that the invitation may be in part in recognition of the opinions I have espoused in recent years on the crisis of nationalities in our country and its pertinence to the future of the Yoruba people; in part in acknowledgment of my involvement in the pre- and immediate post-Nigerian independence affairs of Yorubaland; and in part in acceptance of my on-going presence in the fall-out from the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election. If the latter appears the most cogent or current of these reasons, I must say at the very outset of my remarks this morning that it is not in my view the most fundamental, being in itself but an expression and manifestation of the nationalities crisis in our country, indeed in much of Africa. I will not bore you with a recapitulation of the history of our part of the African continent before the advent of European colonialism. You know it as well as I do-our different nations with their separate identities, histories, languages, religions, cultures and stages of civilization, and some with their own empires. You know the countries - the combinations and amalgamation- created, contrived or arranged by European nations to serve their own interests, and the subsequent emergence of new nationalism on the basis of these new countries and amalgamation. You know the endorsement of these creations by the Organization of African Unity in the nineteen sixties, and the consequent absurdity, as we can now see it, of seeking to construct and develop new nation-states and civilizations on the basis of the destruction of the indigenous languages, political cultures and national identities which in some cases had existed and flourished for a thousand years and more.
