a complete negation of human rights
Get PDFGovernments have come and gone in this country since the end of the country’s civil war, but none has been as near to the realm of the tenets of fundamental human rights as the present one. Our present president, Major-General Ibrahim Babangida, has unequi-vocably pledged his administration’s commitment to open society and government, Human rights and social justice. That assertion has flickered a glimmer of hope for those Nigerians who have genuine reasons to consider themselves oppressed and downtrodden by the various bad and very punitive laws and decrees of the past governments and their agents. My colleagues and myself as well as anyone along the line of our extended family system have been suffering under such inhuman enactments.1- Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu 8; II- Decree No. 46 of 1970.10; III- Fundamental Human Rights, Development Stage by Stage, 17; IV- The growth of the United Nations: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 21; V- Enthronement of Human Rights.

These are elements in a dialectical process.

Essays in constitutional law of Nigeria
Get PDFThe book of essay form on constitutional law of Nigeria provides an explanation of fundamental constitutional principles as enshrined in the Constitution of Nigeria, 1979. The author dealt with constitutional principles both from a jurisprudential point of view and from the functional aspect as they are practiced in running the government. The Constitution is a vast subject, but it has some very distinct principles. It is these principles that are the subject matter of this book.
These essays were written before the military takeover on December 31, 1983. Most of the provisions of the Constitution of Nigeria, 1979, has since been suspended. The constitutional provisions dealt with here may not be strictly applicable in the present system of decrees and edicts, but the jurisprudential aspect of constitutional principles dealt with in the book will always be useful for understanding the workings of government. For example, the rule of law is a principle that no government can ignore because it is through the rule of law that governments establish social well-being for the society as a whole. Similarly, directive principles of state policy, whether written or unwritten, always form the basis of public policy of government. The independence of the judiciary is necessary to establish the rule of law irrespective of any type of government. The federal structure of Nigeria is still the same as before. The changeover to military rule, though the exigencies of time have brought changes in the power structure of the government. Similarly, the doctrine of separation of powers has been taken out of its doctrinaire mold to suit the needs of the working of the government.Federal Structure of the Constitution of Nigeria; Separation of Powers Under the Constitution of Nigeria; Independence of Judiciary; Under the Constitution of Nigeria; Rule of Law Under the Constitution of Nigeria; Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy; Under the Constitution of Nigeria

Mmonwu: A dramatic tradition of the Igbo
Get PDFThis work, which is based on the thesis which the author submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Ibadan in 1976, is primarily an investigation of the general dramatic structure and poetic content of mmonwu of the Igbo. It attempts a systematic analysis of mmonwu dramatic tradition of a number of contiguous Igbo communities south of Onicha, north of Owere and west of Olu and Okigwe, an area that has often been called the central Igbo.
In this study, he attempted to illustrate the Igbo assumption that the mmonwu tradition is a mirror of their way of life, an embodiment of their philosophical and religious thought and a generic symbol and reflection of their art forms — verbal, visual and mimetic. Igbo literary forms which include oral narratives (ifo') and (iduu) and poetic chants (abu) find expressions in the mmonwu dramatic performance.
The source material for this study is derived partly from literature or published works but mainly from oral tradition transmitted in the form of chants, myths, legends, and individual and group recollections of incidents that took place during the relatively recent history of mmonwu drama. Besides oral sources, the author derived material from the tradition of Igbo visual arts as well as, of course, from the varied traditions of Igbo dramatic forms. His fieldwork, conducted between 1972 and 1975, entailed the completion of two sets of questionnaires by a sample of respondents, the conducting of personal interviews with leading mmonwu members, recording of some mmonwu plays on tapes, and later transcribing them, holding symposia with some mmonwu groups during which illuminating discussions were had on the past, recent and projected developments in mmonwu drama, and the taking of a number of photographs of mmonwu characters.The idea of Mmonwu; The historical development of the Mmonwu Idea; Obom and Ekwuru: The physical and sociological setting; The players; The performance; The spectacle and the spectators; The language of Mmonwu drama; Conclusion: The Mmonwu theatre
