The Defiance of Postproverbials in 9ice and Asa’s Petepete
(Journal of the English Language Teachers Association of Nigeria, JELTAN, 2022) Aguoru, D.
Proverbs are the origin of postproverbial, albeit there is a purposeful misinterpretation of their meaning as time goes on and humour develops. The Yoruba communication system relies heavily on proverbs, which are an integral aspect of postproverbial meanings. When it is culturally appropriate, proverbs are frequently employed by adults, while younger people are expected to speak modestly and refrain from using proverbs when speaking with seniors. The created postproverbials, which are well-liked and employed by people of all ages and are utilised without any set rules, are used as "catchphrases" to lampoon events or establish meaning in circumstances, particularly among individuals who have a common experience. The postproverbials in Petepete lyrics, are examined in relation to the neo-Yoruba experience. Purposive random sampling is engaged in the selection of the lyrics being part of the qualitative research approach employed. The proverbs in Petepete are employed as prefixes to their postproverbial forms, causing the original proverbs to be remixed in communication systems, in language use and new media such as in memes and gifs. The deviation agreement in the Yoruba communication system's postproverbial comprehension is the concern of this paper.
Bridging the gap between the sciences and the humanities in nigeria: literature and the wale okediran example
(2022) Aguoru, D.
The dichotomy between the sciences and the humanities has continued to be a concern, particularly in the 21st Century. However, conscious and consistent efforts are being made globally at bridging the gap through the promotion of interaction and multidisciplinary approach to issues. Contemporary studies on these have not only engaged from diverse theoretical positions but have made specific interventions in reconstructing the link that will synergise both in the new world order. This study juxtaposes these realities vis -a-vis the purpose and significance of the sciences and the humanities as separate enterprises, and when melded together as a single enterprise. Taking bearing from the medical practices of Sigmund Freud, his interpretations and diagnostic approach to literature; this paper examines the professional experience of Wale Okediran and his literary writings. Okediran, a Nigerian physician, writer and politician, through his work, social and political interaction further ennobles the fusion of the sciences and the humanities in being able to conscientise and positively influence his society.
