Abstract:
This article is a ‘masculinist’ reading of Chukwuma Ibezute’s Victims of Betrayal, The Temporal Gods and Dance of Horror.The article contends that African literature has always focused on Africa’s socio-political situation until a group of “activists in feminist movement” started agitating for a proper representation of women in literature. Unlike in Europe and America where the ideology is not challenged, in Africa it was challenged by a group of scholars who called themselves ‘masculinists’. Using Ibezute’s three novels, the ‘masculinist’ ideology is demonstrated. While in Ibezute’s Victims of Betrayal it is revealed that men are play-things in the hands of their bad wives, in The Temporal Gods it is depicted that bad wives can go extra miles to impose their decisions on their husbands. In Dance of Horror, it is shown that the kind of woman that is married into a family determines the fate of that family. The article concludes that the implications of these situations as represented in the novels are that while the roles of some husbands in African homes are becoming more and more passive, the fate of some African homes and families are in the hands of wives.

Abstract:
AbstractAstronomical observations used by the ancient people of Africa were developed out of the people's desire to have concrete manifestations of their gods and religious beliefs as well as for time-keeping – day, night and calendar for agricultural and festive seasons. The sky entities (the solar and stellar systems) observed become part of the lives and events here on Earth and so are also part of the context of African literature. This paper examines the ways in which different African peoples have reflected on the role of the sky entities in their literature.

Abstract:
Guided by the conviction that an exhaustive exploration of features common to modern Western and traditional African thought should come before the enumeration of differences, it is argued that the general propositions that can be formulated on the nature and function of Western traditional thinking are highly relevant to traditional African thinking. Despite the fact that African worldview reflections are mostly in terms of the world of which “we are part”, and not the world where “we are inside”, which is common to Western reflection, a surprisingly fundamental similarity exists in the type of conceptuality employed as well as in the process of theory making.

Abstract:
This paper expands the topography of contexts in which research on hip hop and religion takes place by investigating the ways in which video game engines and video editing software are used by game players to produce films within virtual environments. My investigation highlights the online dramatic form of "machinima" (machine-cinema) - a creative, often unintended user adaptation of video game engines and movie-making software. I argue that ‘swagger’, a collective of black cultural expressions that signify confidence, success, rhythmic body movements, and highly stylized appearance, is reconfigured by gamers for virtual environments, resulting in the creation of highly stylized virtual worlds, the modding (modifying) of simulated characters, and the re-composing of the game’s narrative architecture into player-created storylines. In this regard, this article proposes that digital performances and emergent authorship have multiple implications for the study of African American religions.

Abstract:
Contrary to popular belief, discussions of morality, spiritual sensibilities, and religion are major themes in the lyrics of rap music. The current study provides an exploratory content analysis of rap lyrics in an effort to better understand the ways in which rap artists and audiences thought and think about their spirituality. Results indicate that there existed a fervent and nuanced discourse around spirituality and its various forms during the rise of rap music between the mid 1990s and early millennium.

Abstract:
In 1959, Christopher Oliana and Walter “Serge” King took a historic journey to pre-revolutionary Cuba that would change the religious trajectory of numerous African Americans, particularly in New York City. They became the first African American initiates into the Afro-Cuban Lucumi orisha tradition opening the way for generations of African Americans who would comprehensively transform their way of life. This dissertation examines the inter-diasporic exchanges between African Americans and their Cuban teachers to highlight issues of African diasporic dissonance and differing notions of “blackness” and “African.” I argue that these African Americans create a particular African American Lucumi religious subjectivity within the geographical space of an urban cosmopolitan city as they carve out space and place in the midst of religious intolerance and hostility. The intimate study of these devotees’ lives contributes new understandings about the challenges of religious diversity within contemporary urban settings. These African Americans cultivated a new religious subjectivity formed through dialogical mediation with spiritual entities made present through material religious technologies, such as divination, spiritual masses, and possession. Through the lens of lived religion, I examine the experiences of African American Lucumi devotees to better understand how their everyday lives reflect the mediation between a private religious life, defined and structured by spiritual entities, and their public lives in the contemporary sociocultural, economic and political context of urban American society. Based on more than 8 years of intense participant observation and semi-structured interviews and discussions, I analyze how religious subjectivities and religious bodies are cultivated as these African Americans leave their mark on this religious tradition, their geographical surroundings, and African American religious history.

Abstract:
Historically, Black women have often been excluded from the discussion on leadership. This thesis argues that the leadership roles of the women in the Nation of Gods and Earths are consis-tent with the concepts of both Africana womanism and Black women’s leadership. However, through an analysis of Earth’s oral testimonies, this research concludes that though racism is the most pervading obstacle faced by Black people, The Nation of Gods and Earths must address and reevaluate the sexism that exists within its doctrine and practice. By doing so, the group can be-gin to recognize Black women’s leadership and utilize it more effectively. The Nation should collectively transform its gender inequality, in a way that does not compromise its culture, as a means of successfully sustaining and strengthening itself and the communities of which it serves.

Resumo: O nosso trabalho apresenta o objetivo de realizar uma análise de duas das principais obras escritas por Pierre Fatumbi Verger ("Notas sobre o culto aos Orixás e Voduns" e "Orixás"). Em primeiro lugar, procuramos investigar como o autor consegue elaborar um panteão de deuses relativamente estruturado. Dito de outro modo, nosso primeiro objetivo foi compreender como Verger constrói o panteão do candomblé e, dessa forma, denunciar as profundas mudanças entre uma religião e outra, ou seja, questionar a tese central do livro Orixás, a qual postula uma congruência inalterada de dois corpos religiosos separados pelo Atlântico. Por último, propomos avaliar a apresentação da religião dos orixás no Novo Mundo, defendida pelo autor, que sugere uma religião tradicional preservada. Dessa forma, debater a questão, sustentada pelo etnógrafo, de uma pureza afriacana existente no Brasil. Por meio de nossas leituras e pesquisas realizadas, não temos o conhecimento de nenhum trabalho acadêmico analisando a obra de Verger sob essa perspectiva. Pretendemos, assim, proceder a uma análise crítica contribuindo não só para a literatura específica, mas compreender os pressupostos contidos em um autor que se tornou referência não só para os estudos afro-brasileiros mas também para os religiosos em geral.

Abstract:
Magister Artium - MA
In this paper I attempt to look critically at the literary construction of one particular 'race', namely the 'Coloureds', in Sarah Gertrude Millin's God's Stepchildren. To this end, the paper draws on the historical background of Millin, and investigates the way in which Millin has consciously and strategically formed, as it were, a 'unique' Coloured identity. Furthermore, the paper explores the proximity or tension between author and narrator in the novel. This tension, I suggest, emerges in response to various pressures in the novel which in turn are based upon the author's social, political and economic background. Evidence to this effect is derived from Millin's biography and other sources. What emerges from the paper is that the concepts 'race' and 'Coloured', as they are employed in this novel, are equally elusive. In attempting to piece together a 'race', the novel communicates Millin's aversion to miscegenation, and discloses characteristics of her 'self'. Ironically, I conclude, she falls prey to the same kinds of prejudices that she projects onto her literary subjects.

Abstract:
The foundation of culturally sensitive patient-centered palliative care is formed from one's social, spiritual, psychological, and physical experiences of serious illness. The purpose of this study was to describe categories and patterns of psychological, social, and spiritual healing from the perspectives of aging seriously ill African American (AA) elders. Using narrative analysis methodology, 13 open-ended interviews were collected. Three main patterns were prior experiences, I changed, and across past, present experiences and future expectations. Themes were categorized within each pattern: been through it . . . made me strong, I thought about . . . others, went down little hills . . . got me down, I grew stronger, changed priorities, do things I never would have done, quit doing, God did and will take care of me, close-knit relationships, and life is better. Faith in God helped the aging seriously ill AA elders overcome things, whether their current illness or other life difficulties.

Abstract:
The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG), a Pentecostal Charismatic Church (PCC) of Brazilian origin, opened its first branch in South Africa in 1993. Post-apartheid, the church found an enthusiastic following that embraced its promises of miraculous health and wealth. Within ten years the UCKG boasted more than 230 branches. Anthropologists ascribed the phenomenal growth of the UCKG and similar PCCs on the continent to processes of modernisation and to the ways in which these churches helped people to cope with the pressures and demands of modernity. They paid particular attention to PCCs' ability to transform Africans through the mechanism of conversion into individuals better able to opt into the global economic order from which they had been excluded. Anthropologists also emphasised the skill with which PCCs created new or modern forms of sociality that supported and moulded the individual and his/her modern aspirations. My research among UCKG members in Durban showed how problematic these analyses were. I argued that the UCKG's theological and institutional frameworks, which helped it to successfully localise and globalise, was culture-less. As such, the UCKG didn't serve as an institution that transformed its members into hyper-modern individuals but merely offered them technologies to realise their modern desires, or 'blessings'. Indeed, UCKG members were already transformed by the neoliberal conditions into which they were thrust. They utilised the UCKG's technologies in an attempt to counteract neoliberal-induced unemployment, fractured families, insecurities and a lack of health care. Paradoxically for its members, the UCKG's technologies exacerbated their problems. Many stayed on, enthralled by the fantastic testimonies and exorcisms in the church. It is in this context that I discuss the vicious rumours that circulated about the UCKG, not merely as idle gossip but as a means to scrutinise and overturn the invisible working of power.

Abstract:
Religion remains relevant in secular societies when ethnic minority churches provide an accepting community for immigrants. This chapter discusses the socially adaptive roles of the Catholic Church for Irish immigrants in the first half of the twentieth century, the West Indian churches in the 1960s, and the West African Pentecostal churches that have grown in London and the south-east since the 1980s. Although similar in their social conservatism, West Indian and West African Pentecostalists differ in their attitudes to wealth. The West Indians used their Puritan ethics to encourage the self-discipline and frugality characteristic of the respectable working class. The West African churches are much more influenced by the ‘health and wealth’ gospel that argues that donating to the church will magically produce material benefits.

Abstract:
Abstract Nigeria has oil and gas as her major source of revenue, accounting for more than 80% of her foreign exchange, with the AfCFTA, that has been signed and ratified not just by Nigeria but by other African countries taking away tariffs on goods and services produced across the continent irrespective of the market where it's been sold. The AfCFTA being the second largest free trade agreement in the history of World Trade Organization is aimed at uniting African markets. This paper aims to review the framework of the continental free trade agreement, it pros and cons, its grey area, and its impact on the Oil and Gas Industry in Nigeria. The impact of the agreement on the local industries servicing the oil and gas industry is considered as well. The paper reviews the possible advantage of the AfCFTA on the Nigerian oil and gas market. The possible threats to nationalization in the oil and gas industry due to the availability of cheap labour and technical expertise across the continent in the country is analyzed. Solutions to protect the oil and gas industry in Nigeria is recommended as well.

Abstract:
Through design thinking, a team of researchers and students from Nigeria, Ghana and Germany has identified rural transportation as a key enabler for addressing the most pressing challenges in the developing world. Since 2013, the team has been working together on designing a new vehicle concept for Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of the project is to provide the rural population in Sub-Saharan Africa with an attractive mobility concept that helps to prevent the rural exodus and strengthens the independence of the rural regions. A promising concept must consider the specific market requirements and the resources available locally in order to address the heart of the problem as a “First Mile Vehicle”. This paper aims to introduce a holistic framework for frugal innovation and to analyze the process of deriving the vehicle concept meeting regional requirements until it is ready for serial production. The focus, therefore, is demand-driven development of a multifunctional electric vehicle that primarily provides mobility for the individual and transport of people and goods as a possible commercial basis. The result of the research and design process is a vehicle concept that meets the needs of the people living in rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. The first fully functional prototype of this vehicle was presented to the public at the Technical University of Munich in May 2016.

Abstract:
Water scarcity is a growing challenge in a large part of the world. Desalination of seawater is an energy intensive process and in coastline areas where water scarcity coincides with a significant wave climate, desalination of seawater is an attractive application for utilisation of wave energy. The bulk of the energy requirement in desalination by reverse osmosis goes into pressurising seawater. Wave energy can be used directly to achieve this thereby bypassing the challenges associated with electricity generation. The present paper describes a floating unit which produces fresh water using wave power as the main energy source. A double-acting combined pressure magnifier and energy recovery device uses the irregular motion between two floating bodies to drive prefiltered seawater through a reverse osmosis membrane. The unit is compact with one floating disc positioned in the moonpool of the main floating body. The total system may be completed in the yard, towed to field and anchored using light mooring lines which have only a minimal impact on the floater motions. The unit has been sized for a typical West Africa wave climate using a linearised but fully coupled radiation-diffraction analysis of the vertical relative motion between the bodies in waves. The linearised results have been compared with results from time domain analyses verifying the vertical motions but indicating that significant energy can be extracted also from the relative roll and pitch motion of the bodies. It is concluded that the unit can deliver desalinated water at a cost of 0.8 Euro/m3 even in a relatively benign North West Africa wave climate.
