ANTHROPOLOGY
Culture and Society in Nigeria: Traditions, Gender Relations and Political Economy / Akin
Alao & Tunde Babawale (Editors)
Lagos: Concept Publications Limited, 2010
xii. 412p. ; 22cm.
ISBN-13: 9789784831055
$ 39.50
Nigeria is currently faced with a crisis of identity arising from the destruction of her cultural
heritage, bastardization of her traditions and reckless distortion of her values. There is an
urgent need, more than ever before, to arrest the drift to national suicide by making an
academic recourse to the enduring values of culture in national development and sociopolitical stability.
This book, in two volumes, examines the intersection of society and culture in Nigeria to
provide a basis for a better understanding of the peculiarities and similarities of cultural
traditions of the various Nigerian Groups. It provides refreshing insights into traditions
about origin, patterns of migrations and settlements and importantly about the nature and
character of intergroup relations before the imposition of colonial rule. Conscious of the
patriotic role of history in any human formation, the book explores aspects of Nigerian
history and culture to make a strong case for the relevance of cultural studies in laying a
solid foundation for state and nation-building in post-imperial Nigeria.

(Editors)
xix. 524p. ; 22cm.
ISBN-13: 9789788406167
$ 45.00
The pervasive misconception of Africans as a people without a historical, cultural and
educational past made it expedient for concerned African scholars to come together to
disprove that notion. Their argument is that, although unwritten, oral traditions carried on
since pre-literate times represent repertoires of authentic beliefs and practices of African
people.
This book, Oral Traditions in Black and African Culture is the product of a four-day
international collaborative conference on African culture jointly organized by the Centre for
Black and African Arts and Civilization (CBAAC) and Adeyemi College of Education (ACE),
Ondo in December 2008
It is a bold attempt at not only understanding several aspects of African oral traditions
but also drawing attention to the urgent need to save our dying cultural legacy.

Gender in Yoruba Oral Traditions / Oyeronke Olademo

viii. 124p. ; 22cm.
ISBN-13: 9789788406242
$ 15.00
For about three decades now, feminist agitations over the status and role of women,
especially in Western countries, have pushed gender issues to the front burner in academic
discourse. In African countries, however, the story is different.
This book, based on a microcosm of the African race the Yoruba, whom the author
describes as arguably the most researched ethnic group in Africa, discusses the issue of
gender in Yoruba oral literature, focusing on the contents of identified genres and how these
contents are determined by the nature of the context that produced them. These identified
genres are analyzed under various thematic components such as timing, social relations
economics, political engagements maintaining balance/ complementarity, which represent
the other realms of human activity that hinge on gender theory and practice among the
Yoruba.
It is recommended for gender activists, students and researchers in the social sciences
as well as in language and linguistics.

There is a benevolent school of thought that the flame of anti-corruption never died but
merely quivered perilously low in some administrations. There is, on the other hand, a
school of thought that most administrations in the past snipped ineffectually at corruption.
Perhaps, the point of agreement between these two schools of thought is the suggestion
that the practical battle against corruption has gathered momentum and is rising to fever
heat. The laws of warfare in this war against corruptions are, however of crucial concern to
legal scholars and commentators. Yet the legal arguments are often seen as academic
exercises.
For the masses living in abject and abysmal poverty, there is wealth everywhere but not a
drop to drink. For them, it is a crime against their raison detre; it is a crime against
humanity. That is the gist of this work: the war on corruption, the laws of warfare, and the
poverty-stricken masses who are invariably non-combatants but who are brazenly and

ostentatiously denied of their natural, God-given endowment by extremely corrupt and

perverse public officers.

$ 35.00
It is said that the secrets of great men are their stories. These words are proven profoundly
true in Makindes generous expose of his last conversation with the great Chief Obafemi
Awolowo.
While it is one thing to directly witness or hear about the actions of a great man, it is a
higher and more valuable privilege to gain knowledge of the reasons and thought processes
guiding those remarkable acts. That rare privilege is what Moses Makinde has given readers
and generations yet to be born through this book.
In the process of answering Makindes philosophical probing, Awolowo unveils various
aspects of himself as well as the thoughts behind his publicly acclaimed phenomenal acts.
Nigeria May 2010


Much of what many, especially the younger generation, may never have known, heard or
read about the great Awo is revealed in his three and a half hour conversation with Mose
Akin Makinde.

$ 45.00
Theophilus Oluwole Akindeles Memoir of Mixed Blessings tells the story of a man whose life
took many interesting twists and turns to bring him to the pinnacle of the
telecommunication industry in Nigeria. After leaving CMS Grammar School, he worked
briefly as a radio monitor and announcer before going to the UK to study engineering. On
his return, he joined the Colonial Civil Service as executive telecommunications engineer in
Nigeria May 2010


charge of the Lagos territory. He rose through the ranks to become Director-General of Post
and Telecommunications.
Akindeles account of key events in the political history of Nigeria, being close friends
with Ademulegun, Ironsi and Ogundipe in particular, brings new insights to the turbulent
events of the first republic and the subsequent military regimes (Aguyi-Ironsi, Gowon and
Murtala Mohammeds). His role in telecommunications during the civil war gives us fresh
insight into important events of that period. Most interesting however, was the battle of
wills that occurred, when he was pitted against Murtala Mohammed, over the signing of the
ITT/Radio Corporation of Nigeria contract. This saga eventually cost him his job and could
be said to be one of the factors that precipitated the coup of 1976.
He gave his best, and was later rewarded with a role beyond the shores of a single
nation, after he was prematurely retired from office.
With a deep desire to serve the nation, Akindele has tried to live an honest and
principled life, and struggled to make the civil service an honourable profession. This
autobiography will, as well as painting an interesting history of Nigeria, give us a portrait of
a man of courage, wit and above all, principle.

Delta crisis, it x-rays the legal dimensions of the solution to the problem. Therefore, it is
timeous.
This work is not strictly restricted to oil pollution, it also discusses other aspects of
environmental law both municipal and international. Though short and concise, it is a
thorough work basically designed for students studying in the fields of Environmental and
Petroleum Law, Legal Practitioners and Jurists, Law Lecturers, Political Leaders and Niger
Delta militants.
The first chapter briefly discusses the sources of environmental law on oil pollution,
while chapter two deals with the application of the Tort of Negligence to oil pollution
disputes. The subsequent chapters discuss oil pollution in the context of other domestic and
international law principles.

This volume brings together JP Clarks nine collections of poems. These cover fifty years,
and already display his genius as a poet.
With Full Tide which includes his latest poems, it can now be argued, allowing for all the
politics of African literature, here is a great poet, the pre-eminent poet of a unique period of
the 20th century during which a few of his generation created on the continent, side by side
with others of their kind in French and Portuguese, a new literature in English.

$ 25.00
21st Century Nigerian Literature: An Introductory Text studies some one hundred Nigerian
literary works which have emerged in the new millennium. In the fertile imaginations of the
authors of these works reside the developmental hope of the Nigerian national literature on
the one hand, and the achievement of the humanizing ideal of the scribal arts on the 21st
century novel, poetry, drama, short story and childrens literature with a modestly
comprehensive attitude, on the other. It also aims at providing a 21st century view of what
has happened in and to Nigerian literature from the earliest beginnings.

Ibadan, Nigeria: Nelson Publishers Limited, 2009

$ 30.00
Honourable Samuel Bakuras attempt to correct what he thought was wrong with the
intricate and demanding job of lawmaking at the Federal House of Representatives threw
him headlong into a series of confounding conflicts.
TENANTS OF THE HOUSE is a skilful fictional delineation of the ugly colours of Nigerian
politics with its seeming intrigues, base motives,win-at-all-cost motivations, and money as
the great leverage. With its rich mix of love and politics, TENANTS OF THE HOUSE
presents, with gripping suspense, a shrill voice of a nation in urgent need of political
renewal and rebirth.

Literature. The book represents a conscious effort by the writer-critic to retrieve the fading
national consciousness in his society, interrogate the contradictions in the polity and
reinscribe matters of socio-cultural importance into the discourse of Nigerias nationhood.
Each of the twelve chapters of the book makes a definite statement on the Nigerian state,
the black Africa and the human race.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Herbert Macaulay and the Spirit of Lagos / Akinwumi Orojide-Isola
vii. 120p. ; 20cm.
ISBN-13: 9789780693572
$ 12.00
The governor quarrels with the Eleko over many developmental problems and decides to
banish him. Herbert Macaulay, supported by some concerned Lagosians, coordinates a
relentless agitation. The success of that spirit is recorded in the monumental judgement of
the Privy Council in favour of Lagosians which culminated in the triumphal return of the
Eleko to Lagos from Oyo where he served his banishment.
Akinwumi Isola re-tells the historical story of Lagos with so much flavor that keeps the
reader spellbound.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Mister Wazobia / Seinde Arogbofa
vii. 73p. ; 21cm.
ISBN-13: 9789780692889
$ 8.00
Mister Wazobia strengthens the clarion call for the advancement of national unity. It is a
play that focuses on some of the character traits and habits which are often overlooked but
pose a great danger to the co-existence of the diverse tribes in Nigeria as one country.
The play awakens, even as it stimulates, the urge for tolerance and the appreciation of one
anothers culture.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Belly Bellows / Akinwumi Orojide-Isola
107p. ; 20cm.
ISBN-13: 9789780693381
$ 10.00
When myths are employed in drama, they are not meant to plunder the past for
entertainment. Rather, they are remembrances of the relics of the past for education.
On this particular occasion, we stand on the solid rock of the spirit of the Yoruba woman
who. For millions of years, have been keenly alive both to her cultural responsibilities, as
wife and mother, and to her gender as an equal partner to man in the business of life.
Belly Bellows is Akinwumi Orojide-Isolas attempt at recreating the popular Yoruba Oya
myth with a metaphor that gives a deeper understanding of individuals and groups in
situations of conflict and cooperation.

The Missing Envelope / J. Obii J. Nwachukwu-Agbada

ISBN-13: 9789780693336
$ 10.00
Her delicate strides and her bouncy downthrust-and-upthrust pacing on the road make the
villagers nickname her Selense. These are the irresistible features that make her young
teachers fall in love with her. Character is beauty but for beautiful Maureen, Selense,
hercharacter contradicts her graceful looks as she betrays her lovers trust in the mysterious
disappearance of such an important envelope. Thus, her outward beauty becomes a faade,
an envelope that conceals her vicious behavior.

First published in 1999
iii. 136p. ; 19cm.
ISBN-10: 9781251506
$ 13.50
In A Day Without Cockcrow & Other Stories, the master story teller recaptures the powerful
ethos that have distinguished his Hausa people across time, reflecting the moods and
actions of tyrannical rulers, bewildered commoners and rustic society coming to grips with
new times just as it makes a bid to free itself from the clutches of a backward yet value
studded past.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Her Last Wish: (An AIDS Awareness Play) / Cybril Obioha Ejiofor
Ibadan: University Press Plc, 2008
xiv. 76p. ; 18cm.
ISBN-13: 9789780692575
$ 10.00
Much has been said and heard about AIDS on a global scale but like a drizzling rain on a
barren land, the sermon has had little or no impact on the minds of youngsters. It is not
surprising that the risk of infection maintains a high tempo amongst adolescents. Her Last
Wish is a play written in a plain and concise language with its wealth of explosition
fashioned to arouse caution on the most dreaded disease of this age. The story educates,
enlightens and stirs up the spirit of abstinence in young minds even as it awakens the
elements of morality with which man was originally created.
The book is an invaluable war chest, a prerequisite for victory over the AIDS scourge for the
sustenance of tomorrows generations.

A Dialogue with Mother is a one-scene play that throws up crucial aspects of the African

of the old and new generation values and ideologies are presented. The playwright uses
these contrasting perspectives to retrieve our fading cultural values and reassert national
consciousness.

In an attempt to live up to their dreams, to flee from the miasma of disgrace, negative
criticism, rejection, psychological trauma, and more, they are faced with series of traumatic
experiences all the more compelling and revealing that would force one to sit back and
wonder if it is not best to remain open and honest at all times, afterall, saints are the
sinners who keep on trying.

Then, the frailties of human moral may become improved based on contrition. Contrition is
the reason why Immaobong, a beautiful lady, cried silently in the dark. Two men were
instrumental to certain decisions in her life. One of them was a soul mate, and the other
person, a doctor. They impacted in her subconscious mind, the desire to reason and act
positively in a society where the HIV victims ate stigmatized, the downtrodden are
oppressed.
But, how far can she go in changing the societal perception of ETHOS IN THE DARK?

late afternoon when the traffic hold-up was at its worst. He soliloquized on the hold-up and
his endless years of trouble, tears and pain on the rough terrain of trying to earn a living by
writing.
Rejection slip after rejection slip from publishers had nearly driven him to the edge of
despair. To compound his problems he also fell out with Anyawu, an intellectual and highly
sophisticated beauty who had offered him shelter and wanted to mould him into a specific
kind of writer.
But then comes the silver lining in the cloud Amadu gets an acceptance letter from a
publisher and Anyawus letter that she is coming back
This is a poignant story of the travails of a young unpublished writer in the city of

Maimuna and Sule left the hotel about two oclock. When they reached the motor-park, they
found a mini-bus with only two vacant seats. As soon as they climbed into the bus, the
driver pulled and drove to Kaduna.
The mini-bus was halfway to Kaduna when, after hurtling around the bend, it came faceto-face with another oncoming lorry. To avoid the bend-on collision, the driver swerved to
the right. Suddenly, out of the dust raised by the oncoming lorry, he perceived a stationary
vehicle. There was no time to save himself or the passengers. He slammed on the brakes
and braced himself against the wheel
He remembered how she had looked after him. How placid and beautiful she had been.
Could such a creature be a whore? No, no, she certainly had not been a human being. She
was a jinn sent to earth. Maybe Allah Himself sent her to him. The nurse had told a lie when
she said Maimuna was buried by the roadside. It was not Maimunas body; she had
disappeared, as a jinn would do.
But was she offered? Dis he betray her? He had promised never to come to Lagos. But

With the collapse of the Berlin wall and the emergence of a unipolar world, new issues such
as globalization, international terrorism, European Union, African Union, United Nations
Reforms, Millennium Development Goals, Transnational Corporations and New Partnership
for African Development, have taken the center stage, displacing old issues such as Cold
War, Non-alignment, North South dialogue, New International Economic Order, among
others. A book of this nature, based on recent developments within the field of international
relations, will not only facilitate a better understanding of the field, but will positively
stimulate fresh study and research on the new world order. It is intended to fill the yearning
gap in literature on the new world order since the end of the cold war and the
announcement of the obituary of socialism.

Peacebuilding and conflict management training became a topical issue in Nigeria in the late
1990s following the high level of unrest that was found in the wake of establishment of
civilian rule after the many years of military dictatorship. Over the past few years, training
of different target groups in conflict management and peacebuilding has become a key
working area for many structures and institutions traditionally involved in human rights and
development.
