This volume explores the concepts of transnationalism, borders, fragmentation, movement, displacement, space, place and “home.” Drawing from various national, ethnic, and cultural perspectives, the authors write about various important adjustments within contemporary global trends which in turn, reflect ever-changing ways to look at geography, migration processes, and transnationalism. Like other migrants who have left their home, they all left “something” behind.

Download or read book Quantum Leap written by Olusesan Odetunde and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young man, frustrated with life in Lagos, is en route for London. He leaves behind his elderly father, his stunningly pretty wife, whose advice he is ignoring, and two innocent sons. Life in London starts rough for Olubanji Adubuleja. There is no surprise about that. The rough gets rougher work exploitation, injury at work, road traffic accidents, the deaths of his father and wife, an emotional breakdown that is badly managed by hospital staff. Banji hits rock bottom. Step in, benefactors: the hard-working, soft-hearted Goriola, the minicab driver; diminutive Olayiwola Harper with grandiose ideas backed up with bombastic words and an acutely legally aware mind. Layi is an atheist and die-hard bachelor, but he is the very epitome of altruism; Emperor Adeola Adeoti, the lion that rarely roars; Larry Herlihy, the Englishman that speaks Yoruba like a Lagosian and does business like pro; Iyabo, the Nefertiti, Banjis second wife. All help Banji make Maslow-like quantum leaps, from the need to satisfy basic needs to self-actualisation. Banji returns to Nigeria. His goal? To use his now considerable resources to help his deprived and marginalised Yewa kinsfolk, inhabiting the western corner of Ogun State of Nigeria enjoy a better life.
Book Synopsis Corpus Linguistics and African Englishes by : Alexandra U. Esimaje
Download or read book Corpus Linguistics and African Englishes written by Alexandra U. Esimaje and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corpus linguistics has become one of the most widely used methodologies across the different linguistic subdisciplines; especially the study of world-wide varieties of English uses corpus-based investigations as one of the chief methodologies. This volume comprises descriptions of the many new corpus initiatives both within and outside Africa that aim to compile various corpora of African Englishes. Moreover, it contains cutting-edge corpus-based research on African Englishes and the use of corpora in pedagogic contexts within African institutions. This volume thus serves both as a practical introduction to corpus compilation (Part I of the book), corpus-based research (Part II) and the application of corpora in language teaching (Part III), and is intended both for those researchers not yet familiar with corpus linguistics and as a reference work for all international researchers investigating the linguistic properties of African Englishes.

Part II focuses on modern governance institutions, elites, political action, arts, and democracy in post-colonial Nigeria.

Book Synopsis Current Trends in Nigerian Pidgin English by : Akinmade T. Akande
Download or read book Current Trends in Nigerian Pidgin English written by Akinmade T. Akande and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the structure and sociolinguistics of Nigerian Pidgin English. Its major aim is to serve as a compendium which touches different major aspects of NPE as it has been observed that earlier works in this area have focused only on one aspect or the other. It will offer a broad survey of the form and functions of Nigerian Pidgin (NP) in different domains. The book promises to investigate the use of NP in such domains as popular culture, advertisement, social media and online discussion fora. One major strong point of this volume is the fact that it will direct attention to different fertile areas of NP by focusing, inter alia, on its social functions, its morphology and syntax, its regional varieties, its (possible) use as a viable medium of instruction in school, the changing attitudes of people towards its use, the place of NP in relation to language planning and policy in Nigeria as well as sociolinguistic variation within NP. The book will make a significant contribution to the existing literature on NP as, unlike earlier studies in this area, it will explore the grammatical, sociolinguistic and perceptual aspects of the language. By bringing together the expertise of renowned Nigerian and international scholars who have conducted research in this area, the volume will be an essential resource for researchers, graduate and undergraduate students interested not only in Nigerian Pidgin but also on contact linguistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Presidents of Nigerian 4th Republic Nigeria has arrived; Nigeria is born again with the most credible April 2011 general and presidential elections in 50 years according to International Community. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, VP Namadi Sambo and INEC Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega deserve national and international honours. President Jonathan won landslide with 23 million votes across all party lines. The 'Promised Land' journey begins in earnest. Nigeria is marching forward steadfastly despite bumps and teething gestation problems to encounter. With 160 Million inhabitants, Nigeria is worlds largest concentration of Blacks. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's presidency beginning May 29, 2011 represents the fulfillment of hope, change, salvation, good luck and blessings after decades of military dictatorships between 1966 and 1999. Structured like USA Presidency, bi-cameral Legislature and Independent Judiciary, Nigeria became beloved to International Community sooner than anticipated. With membership in UN, OPEC, Commonwealth of Nations, AU, ECOWAS, NEPAD, Nigeria is seventh worlds largest petroleum supplier and fifth supplier to USA. Nigeria is becoming economic super-power - 'Vision 2020' with abundance of oil, gas, bitumen, gold, etc. Nigeria is beautified by Atlantic Ocean, Rivers Niger and Benue, Lake Chad, Tinapa Holiday Resort (world-class), Olumo Rock, Igbesa Free Trade Zone. Nigeria, blessed and protected from natural disasters never witnessed devastating Tsunami, Katrina, volcano, thunderstorm, iceberg, earthquake and mudslide that wipe-out settlements and kill thousands seasonally. International Social Scientists 4-year survey rated Nigeria as the worlds happiest country (2006) while USA, Britain, Japan and Russia were outside the first 10. Also, International Financial Agencies confirmed Nigerias 35% return on investment as worlds highest. Nigerias incredible hospitality encourages some Americans, Europeans and Asians to become naturalized citizens of Nigeria. Oil-rich country Nigeria, often described as African giant, peace and power broker Nigeria, granted amnesties to secessionists (1970), Niger Delta militants (2009) and settled Bakassi Peninsula dispute with Cameroon (2006) diplomatically. War-mongering super-powers and allies, intimidating and occupying weaker nations illegally, should emulate Nigerian leadership examples of Presidents Obasanjo, YarAdua and Jonathans peaceful conflict resolution best practices for world peace. Wake Up Nigerians! Make Nigeria Great and Prosperous! Failure Is Not An Option! Nigerians Are Tired of Excuses for Avoidable Leadership Indiscretion and Slumber for 50 Years of Independence! Always Put Nigeria First! Change 'Business as Usual'! GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA!
Book Synopsis Gender Politics and Governance in Africa by : T. Oladejo
Download or read book Gender Politics and Governance in Africa written by T. Oladejo and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good governance is an index of human development. What constitutes good governance is holistic and gender issues are key components in the formation and practice of governance. In pre-colonial Africa, governance is inclusive of men and women. In the pre-colonial era, it could be argued that women had spheres of power and powerlessness. In most post-colonial societies of Africa, it is a rarity to accord women positions in government. Yet, the United Nations Conferences held in Copenhagen (1980), Nairobi (1985), Beijing (1995) and New York (2000), all had drafts and resolutions to change inequalities and vulnerabilities women encounter in public and private spaces. What are the issues to understand in the inclusion or exclusion of women in governance of African states and societies? This book explicates the experiential issues in gender, politics and governance. The 'known' are the stereotypes accorded to women as weak and unfit to take strategic roles in public life. Scholars across disciplines have debunked this perception. The known constantly linger in perpetuity because the development plans of African states fail to understand what it takes to have women empowered in all ramifications.
