Abstract:
Introduction: A cultural myth Ogbanje have existed among the Ibo people of Nigeria. These children may have morbidities that are manageable while some normal children may have to live with the stigma of being labelled such. The objective of this study was to assess mother’s perception of ogbanje phenomenon and morbidity in ogbanje children.Material and Methods: This was a Cross-sectional study amongst mothers having the concept of “Ogbanje” children who were clinically examined. SPSS version 20.0 was used for data analysis. Variables were compared with χ2. p<0.05 was accepted as significant.Results: A total of 64.8% believed in “Ogbanje”. Commonest presentation of “Ogbanje” was frequent illness (47.3%). Only 12(3.3%) would seek orthodox care for ogbanje children. Examined “ogbanje” children had sicklecell anaemia, structural anomalies, and diabetes. Four (9.5%; n=42) children were normal. Conclusion: Ogbanje myth still exists in the minds of mothers and affects health seeking behaviour. Ogbanje children may have manageable illness and sometimes may be normal.

Abstract:
Although prominent in literature on West Africa and especially Nigeria, the phenomenon of ogbanjes in Sierra Leone is little discussed. By following the story of one ogbanje, this paper unravels their significance for social life, for local epistemologies and cosmologies in Freetown. The paper discusses personhood and morality, conceptions of femininity and motherhood as well as the search for culprits. It argues that ogbanjes have to be understood as avengers who, in the name of society, penalize those deeds of women which meet with the disapproval of the community. Ogbanjes embody a breakdown of accepted social concepts as they are able to openly articulate criticism towards their parents and elders and thus serve as a way to negotiate the coming of age. The negotiations over appropriate treatment of ogbanjes highlight the interplay between different forms of belief. In addition, ogbanjes provide coping mechanisms and explanatory tools for untimely deaths.

Abstract:
Nigeria comprises over 200 ethnic groups, making it the most multi- ethnic nation in West Africa. As part of both the Igbo and the Yòrubá cultures, ogbanje/abiku are children who are born to die and then return to be reborn by the same mother. This phenomenal cycle has been narrated in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1958) and Buchi Emecheta’s The Bride Price (1976). Based on Achebe (1986) and other scholars, this paper analyzes the ogbanje phenomenon and draws a parallel between both novels, bringing to light the close bond between ogbanje daughters and their fathers. As a result, the paper points out a connection by unveiling a shared attribute of ‘manliness’ between Okonkwo and his daughter with a focus on the neglect of local traditions. The comparative analysis is intended as a pilot study of a broader investigation of culture in the fields of literary and cultural studies.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter contributes to scholarship on decolonization, and what it means and requires to decolonize AI, by exploring an alternate cultural perspective on nonhuman intelligence from that portrayed in the more well-known Western canon. It investigates how cultural and traditional systems outside the West have understood and narrated human relations with nonhuman intelligence and enchanted objects, and what this means in relation to global debates around AI and the future of humanity that have—to date—largely centred on Western experiences. The chapter focuses on the transgendered ogbanje—a changeling child or reincarnated spirit—of Nigerian Yoruba and Igbo cultural traditions. Through engagement with the works of Chinwe and Chinua Achebe and Akwaeke Emezi, it explores the role anthropomorphism, representation and gender play in making intelligence culturally identifiable, whether this offers an alternative imaginary for transcending the normative binaries that AI fortifies, and what kind of politics this requires.
