Item Syntheses of cultures and sensibilities: the expressions of Moyo Ogundipe(2011) Pogoson, O. I.; Akande, A. O.Item Photography: a tool for historical records in Nigeria(University of Cape Coast Press, Cape Coast, Ghana, 2012) Pogoson, O. I.; Akande, A. O.History is either oral or written. Whichever of these forms it assumes, one thing is clear; it brings to memory records of past or present events, places or situations. The question of two or more people experiencing the same or somewhat similar graphic imagery of oral or written history becomes pertinent. This situation is improbable. However, with the aid of photographs, the graphic representation of an event is frozen in time and space, thereby making it possible for a number of people to view the record of a past event that they may not have witnessed. With video, we can even hear voices and experience life in such events. Using pictures from old newspapers, published books and from private collections, this essay attempts a pictorial social, cultural and political history of the country. It also appraised the development of photography in Nigeria. This essay avers that photography is a veritable tool for documenting historical records for posterity and an endeavour that should be encouraged and communalised.Item Ifa divination trays from Isale-Oyo(2011-06) Pogoson, O. I.; Akande, A. O.This paper is a study of the images and patterns on ifa divination trays from Isale-Oyo. The paper also explains some ifa paraphernalia. The paper establishes that ifa trays from Isale-Oyo bear distinctive features when compared with other ifa trays in Yorubaland such as those of Ijebu and Osogbo. Central to this study is the monographic description and interpretations of Isale-Oyo divination trays. Data were collected through direct interviews with divination tray owners. Photographs of the trays were also taken. The investigation revealed that:• Divination trays from Isale-Oyo combine features found on both Ijebu and Osogbo trays.• The Esu figure continues to occupy the top central position on Oyo divination trays, even though with representational variations elsewhere in Yorubaland.• Some divination trays in Oyo carry no decorations on their borders, and in some recent cases, ceramic plates are now used for divination.Item Syntheses of cultures and sensibilities: the expressions of Moyo Ogundipe(Institute of African Studies University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2011) Pogoson, O.
