Abstract:

Over the years, slang expressions generally have been looked at as language of the never-do-good in the society, especially among the youths inspired by constant abuse of hard drugs and other dangerous substance. Yet, these expressions have gained wide acceptance among speakers of the language both home and abroad and even among the adults these days. Igbo slang is not left out of this revolution. In recent times, Igbo Literature has experienced a dwindling growth in readership especially among Igbo youth and young scholars. This has resulted heavily in the decline in production of Igbo Litera

Partindo de uma perspectiva histórica, considerando a chegada dos primeiros missionários anglicanos, em meados do século XIX, entre os Igbos, na Nigéria, abordarei o impacto do cristianismo (incluindo missionários e convertidos) sobre o debate local acerca da identidade Igbo. Argumentarei que a cultura Igbo tradicional e não cristã foi definida por e em resposta aos debates da missão cristã sobre a conversão e o comportamento dos cristãos Igbos. Depois disso, vou relatar como a identidade Igbo veio a coincidir com o cristianismo e como isso resultou em uma apreciação renovada da religião "trad

Abstract:

The impression that Africans had no roots or contributions to modern-day management practices has persisted for a while. However, the Igbo people in Nigeria had their own management practice and leadership styles that were peculiar to them before the emergence of the management theories, which was why the Igbos were able to survive the indirect rule and brutal economic exploitation during the colonial era, and immediately after the civil war. This study, therefore, examined the role Igbo culture played in the development of management theories. The study specifically identified some specific I

Abstract:

Among the phonemes of the Igbo language is the open front unrounded vowel /a/. It is here argued that it has certain phonosemantic connotations when uttered alone at different pitches in standard Igbo and Ogbunike Igbo variety. We further examine the role tone plays in revealing the phonosemantic associations of this vowel. The primary data were supplied by the two authors as Igbo native speakers, combined with the first author’s intuitive knowledge of Ogbunike variety. The secondary data were obtained from Swadesh 100 Wordlist, the authors-adapted Wordlist of 141 words, and other existing lit

Abstract This paper evaluates postproverbial (re)constructions of selected Igbo proverbs and the ‘altering alternatives’ regenerated from the original Igbo proverbs. Eighteen randomly selected Igbo proverbs, the proverbial expressions and their postproverbial (re)constructions were subjected to critical analysis. The study revealed that there are noticeable changings in rendering of the selected proverbs. These changings occur largely either due to lack of an in-depth knowledge in the usage of the traditional proverbs, disconnection with the custodians/sources of the Igbo proverbs, urbanisatio

This paper has studied the philosophical operative conditions of healing shrines in Igbo-African societies. The concept of philosophical operative condition is introduced into the study of Igbo-African healing shrines with the purpose of pointing out the philosophical principles behind the activities in these shrines. This philosophical dimension of African healing shrines is possible because of the nature of the relationship between religion and philosophy. This work, therefore, studied healing and healers in traditional African societies and the place and nature of healing shrines in Igbo so

The comparative study of African literatures in Portuguese and in English languages has not been the object of many research projects in Africa.

While it is heavily masculine, the role of women has not been sufficiently studied.

Abstract:

The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, Written by Himself is a work of autobiography first published in 1789. It is one of the first written works by an African of the diaspora and served as a model for much literature that was to follow. Equiano was a member of the Igbo (or Ibo) ethnic group in what is now Nigeria. The book details his capture and enslavement in West Africa, his horrific passage to Barbados, and his sale into slavery there. Parallel themes of the book are his adoption of Christianity and his learning to read.

Abstract:

Monolithically integrable detectors are defined as detectors whose fabrication is completely compatible with the design rules used in the standard integrated circuit fabrication. An interdigitated electrode geometry permits both the ready integration of these detectors into electronic IC topologies and the use of a large detection area in conjunction with a low device capacitance. The large detector area improves the signal strength available for amplification, while the low capacitance extends the high-frequency bandwidth. To date, most interdigitated detectors reported in the literature are
