Item The nitty-gritty of academic writings in the faculties of arts and social sciences of Nigerian universities(The faculty of arts and social sciences, Gombe state university, 2021) Ayantayo, J. K||Ayantayo, G.N.Item Liturgical Dance in Nigeria: Babalola Abiodun and Victory Ashien Works in Focus Samson(Department of Theatre Arts, University of Ibadan. Pp72-81, 2024) Akapo,S.S; Adetula, P.Liturgical dance has its roots in early Christian worship practices. It reached a high point in the medieval church, when a number of religious orders arose with a specific emphasis on prayer and meditation, and it was performed primarily by religious professionals. In many churches and in many liturgical dance groups today, the emphasis is on performance in service or in festivals. The performance groups many times feature extensive and complicated choreography that showcases the style of the choreographer and the skills of the dancers. But what is liturgical dance supposed to be? What are the specific nature and forms of liturgical performances in Nigeria? Adopting the Religion Theory of Ninian Smart and Performance Analysis, this research focuses on the process of choreographing/creating liturgical dances, the impact of other elements of performance on liturgical dance creation, spiritual impact on liturgical dance and fully on the performance aspect of liturgical dance. The performance analysis is based on the interviews conducted, and having analysed two liturgical performance videos and conducting interviews on two liturgical choreographers, namely Victory Ashien of Spirit of David, Nigeria and Babalola Abiodun of Praise Dance Academy. Based on the above, this research concludes that liturgical dance in Nigeria is on the rise and there is a significant interest from different groups and churches. Besides, these liturgical dance performances embrace theatrical dance performance elements in communicating and interpreting stories.Item The body as archive and memory: a study of fishermen(The Department of Dramatic Arts Obafemi Awolowo University lie Ife, Nigeria, 2024) Akapo, S.S.This work analyzes one of the important roles of the body which is to conserve or memorialize, to keep practices for future references and use. Using the qualitative research method and participant's observation as tools, this paper explains the importance of dance in human society, that is, the social function of dance as a human activity. Although most people see dance as what everyone can do, dance in the real sense goes beyond bodily movements that human beings engage in every day. This research looks at two selected Nigerian dances: Fishermen and Ikede dances as they embody some specific cultural practices without neglecting the fact that culture is not static. The Ikede dance is a traditional dance of the Ebira people of Kogi State which portrays the art of local weaving. Although it is created and performed within Ebira context, it is a practice that is common to some other people in Nigeria like the Tiv, Egons, and Yorubas etc. These two dances form the basis of analysis in this study. The analysis is based on the performance of these dances by the Kogi State Troupe.Item Inflation, Government spending, ARDL, Economic growth(The Quint, 2024) Atoyebi,O.E; Butler,J.A .; Kalejaiye,O.A; Oseni,I.O; Olayemi,O.T; Amor,Z.B; Akopo,S.S; Ukwen,K.R; Uken,D.R; Asuquo,N.B; Bakare,R.O; Adeola,T.S; Ali,F; Piatkowski,P; Zapkin.P; Sanna.AItem Altered state of consciousness: dance-induced spirit possession and trance(Department of Theatre Arts University of Ibadan, 2020) Akapo, S. S.Spirit possession and trance are very dominant features of Altered State of Consciousness (ASC), especially within religious spheres. However, dance and movement, with the accompaniment of music/sound, create such an enabling environment, for individuals who are so predisposed, to easily and quickly transpose from the normal states of awareness to altered states of mystical interactions. Also critically discussed is the term ASC as both a religious and psychological phenomenon. This paper, therefore, explores ASC within the context of dance, using two different case studies in explaining the intricacies of trance, in particular, and spirit possession.Item Evaluation linguistique de la traduction de the ünderclass in bia fara comme les sansculottesau biafra de victor ariole(2022-07) Ehieze, C.

P.Item Social implications of human killings for money ritual among the Yoruba people of Southwestern Nigeria(2024) Oke, O. P.Human killing for money ritual in Nigeria, particularly in the southwest region, has become a source of general concern. The highly valued virtues of hard work, honesty and dignity of labour have been sacrificed on the altar of materialism and the Get-Rich-Quick syndrome by the money ritualists. Their belief that wealth accumulation is more important regardless of the repercussions of such activities have negatively impacted the country's already fragile security situation. Over time, this menace has sparked a flurry of discussions among stakeholders on security issues related to development. Previous studies on the subject of money ritual induced human killing and its effects in southwest Nigeria has mostly been examined from a number of perspectives. Some scholars studied the problem from a security viewpoint, while others viewed it from the perspectives of poverty, greed, unemployment and loss of morals without paying adequate attention to its social implications. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the social implications of money ritual induced human killing. Youths and middle-aged men and women from Yoruba communities were interviewed using qualitative and unstructured questions. The findings showed that the causes of human killing for money ritual include greed, inordinate ambition, peer pressure, social media influence, poor parenting, loss of societal value systems, government insensitivity to the plight of the people, unemployment, corruption, and similar issues. The study recommends that both parents and government should make good efforts to reorient the youths as they also improve on security architectire.
