RE: "APPROACH TO INDIGENOUS LOCAL TRADITIONAL COMMITTEE SERVICES ITSEKIRI REACTION" (Vanguard Nov. 3, 2003 pages 46 and 47 and continued in the next day Vanguard issue). By FEDERATED NIGER DELTA IJAW COMMUNITIES (FNDIC) NO. 1, PERE QUARTERS, OPOROZA TOWN, GBARAMATU CLAN, Phone: 08035526469 E-Mail - abcvivimem@webafrica.com Motto: "WATER FOR FIRE" His Excellency Chief James Onanefe Ibori Executive Governor Delta State Asaba. Your Excellency, The aforementioned Advertorial publication signed, after widespread consultation in the Itsekiri Nation, by most of the foremost Itsekiri Leaders, justifies FNDIC fears and upholds the Warri Ijaw's concerns about Itsekiri diversionary antics with property and/or instrumentality of colonialism such as changing Olu of Itsekiri (Crowned) to Olu of Warri (appointed), Warri Divisional Council to Itsekiri homeland, framing land ownership from fraudulent land leases and colonial court judgements etc. The Advertorial also goes to demonstrate the fundamental threat Itsekiri Nationality poses to the hard-earned Nigeria independence and Democracy. It further confirms how the Itsekiri facilitated colonialism and how today, they are into internal neo-colonialism . It seems the Itsekiri abhore peace. The Itsekiri are on it again, creating yet another "Lacuna" against resolving the Warri crisis. How? CAUSES AND EFFECTS Without considering causes of the Warri crisis the article deals extravagantly on the effects of Warri crisis on the Itsekiri perse. It places/pleads Itsekiri undeserving demands for consideration and compensation on the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

THIRD ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND MEETING London, England November 1-3, 2002 THE MISSION OF URHOBO HISTORICAL SOCIETY By Peter P. Ekeh, Ph.D. State University of New York at Buffalo Chair, Urhobo Historical Society Chair Special Guest of Honour Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen I am heartened by this splendid attendance at our Third Annual Conference. Our annual conference of November last last year was plagued by the shadows of the crisis of World Trade Center, which prevented many people from coming to the venue of the Conference in Persippany, New Jersey, USA. Dr. Bruce Onobrakpeya and Governor James Ibori cancelled their travel plans to the United States as a consequence of the uncertainties of that period. We carried on our business, but it was a small conference. By contrast, this is a large gathering. I am happy. In this address, I have three main responsibilities. First, I want to thank those who have sacrificed so much to travel from Nigeria, North America, Europe, and various areas of the United Kingdom to attend this Conference. In addition, I want to express the sincere gratitude of Urhobo Historical Society to those who have worked with us to become what we are. Second, I want to explain to you what Urhobo Historical Society does and what its mission is. Third, I am here to challenge you to join in our mission of service to Urhobo history and culture. Words of Thanks and Gratitude to Those Who Have Worked With Us Let me begin with the easiest of these responsibilities, namely, thanking you and those who have helped us in the past. To begin with an expression of appreciation that is fully deserved, we thank Governor Felix Ibru for his friendship for Urhobo Historical Society. Olorogun Felix Ibru was the first civilian Governor of Delta State. He served with grace and without corruption. More importantly, he was loyal to Urhobo ideals while serving all of Delta State. Governor, we are particularly impressed by your record in the matter of the State Capital which military rule arbitrarily took away from the Old Delta Province. You were not intimidated in your embrace of your Urhobo roots. We salute you for your courage. We look forward to working with you in our mission of serving Urhobo history and culture.

Urhobo Historical Society A Tribute By Rev. Father Patrick Otor, MSP to THE REVEREND FATHER GABRIEL S. AKEMU, M.S.P. Who Died on March 18, 2003 Rev. Father Gabriel S. Akemu, M.S.P. was born to the family of Mr. Akprekpre Akemu of Effurun and Madam Comfort Unuovorhaye Erhiaganoma of Orhokpokpo Agbarho . His father died while Gabriel was only a boy. Consequently, his mother had to move back to her hometown of Orhokpokpo, Agbarho, and little Gabriel had to relocate with her. It is noteworthy that neither of Father Gabriel’s parents was a Christian at the time of his birth. Both parents were strong believers in African (that is, Urhobo) Traditional Religion. In fact, Rev. Father Akemu's mother only became Christian just a couple of years ago. F ather Gabriel went to Catholic Primary School in Oviri-Agbarho which shared the same compound as St. Gregory Catholic Church, Oviri-Agbarho. Here little Gabriel came in contact with the Irish Missionary of the Society of African Missions (SMA), Father Brown. Father Brown was at that time the Parish Priest (Pastor) of Old Okpara parish. I say Old Okpara parish because Okpara parish then covered the whole of Agbon kingdom, all of Agbarho kingdom and a great portion of Okpe kingdom, including Orerokpe. From time to time, Father Brown would visit the out-stations (these are towns and villages outside the parish headquarters in Okpara Inland). During these visits Father Brown would play and joke with the children that came around. He would even greet the children ‘Mi guo,’ a greeting specially reserved for the elderly in Urhoboland. This caused great laugher among the children, who wondered at the hilarity of this ‘Oyibo’ or white man.

Such a project will be interdisciplinary, drawing on specialized research in folklore, linguistics, anthropology, literary theory, and musicology. Definitions will need to be entered from the start, definitions of the foundational terms music and language , among many others. Questions as to whether music is a language, whether it signifies, and if so how will have to be raised. The problematics of communication will not be left out. The effects of in-time performance will not be ignored; nor will repertorial and generic distinctions be subsumed under an all-purpose “music.” The discussion will be grounded in the specifics of African nomenclature and experience, with each researcher entering deeply into the overlapping conceptual worlds of indigenous performer-critics. The interconnectedness between music and dance will form a part of the study, drawing analytical lessons from indigenous conceptions of play. Finally, the discussion will probe the poetic content of song texts, seeking an understanding of them as expressions of particular individuals or groups, and also as generalized responses to desire, need, loss, or misery, as expressions of joy and elation, or in response to an incitement to warfare.

THE WEEK: How would you assess President Obasanjo's environmental rights record? DOUGLAS: General Obasanjo is not an environmentalist. His government is not a government that supports and protects the environment. Two things can be pointed out to support this position. There is clearly no responsible ministry taking up the issue of environment. Even the Ministry of Environment that was set up, they spend the bulk of their time bickering as to who has responsibility for one thing or the other. The bickering between the Federal Environmental protection Agency and Ministry of Environment has eventually led to FEPA going into doldrums. There are no programmes, projects, no vision, nothing in place by this government to protect the environment and yet as you know, the environment is the base for the survival of all Nigerians. If you protect the land, the water, the forest, every other thing will be protected because more than 80% of Nigerians depend on agriculture - fishing and farming.

ÒThe visit to the United States (1993) sharpened my awareness of the need to organize the Ogoni people to struggle for their environment,Ó Saro-Wiwa wrote ( Month : 79.). ÒA bit of research and thinking of my childhood days showed me how conscious of their environment the Ogoni have always been and how far they went in an effort to protect it. I had shown this consciousness all along.Ó Jailed in 1993 under the Treason and Treasonable Offenses Decree (known in Nigeria as Òthe Saro-Wiwa decreeÓ) promulgated in 1993 by then President Gen.

At a time when fiscal federalism is in the front burners of national discourse following the rescue of Nigeria from the brink of collapse and the gradual lifting of the siege on the Niger Delta by rapacious military marauders, his essay could not have been anything but provocative. Let me state clearly and ab initio My position, however, is that though I may not like Bala’s politics, I do not have to confuse that with his thoughts. We are always under constant impulse to commit the fallacy of ad hominen by dismissing a scholar’s work on the grounds of his politics and person.

African Languages Language Families There are several thousand languages spoken in the world, however it is estimated that about 100 account for 95% of the world's population. Languages can be grouped together into families on the basis of similarities of vocabulary and grammatical structure. It has been suggested that languages in the same family have common origins or antecedents. Languages families are divided into branches or sub-groups. For example, some of the branches of the Indo-European language family include the Indo-Iranian languages, the Romance languages, the Germanic languages (which include English) and the Celtic languages. Similarly, the Semitic languages form a sub-group of the Afro-Asiatic language family, and the Bantu languages form a sub-group of the Niger-Congo language family.

The Ijaw are one of many ethnic groups in the Delta, and they have become more outspoken regarding their treatment in Nigeria during the past few years. As a result of their treatment, they have pressured the Nigerian government to change some if its political and economic policies that affect them. The Ijaw have also protested the activities of the large international oil companies that have set up shop in the Delta. These protests have mostly centered on the environmental damage caused by the oil companies. The Ijaw speak their own language (LANG = 1). They are also either Christian or Animist, while the majority of other Nigerians follow the Muslim faith (BELIEF = 3). The Ijaw are not physically distinguishable from other groups in the region (RACE = 0). The British practiced indirect rule in Nigeria as they had in much of the rest of their colonial states. However, for various reasons, the British favored the Ibo, and this favoritism led to further conflict with other groups when the Ibo were placed in authority positions in the north and southwest. As the press for independence intensified, the Ibo came to support the National Council for Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), led by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. The Yoruba mainly supported the Action Group (AG), and the Hausa/Fulani supported the Northern People's Congress (NPC). The NCNC and NPC formed a coalition that led the country to independence in 1960. The AG was largely marginalized from the federal government during the early years of independence, which led to a renewal of Yoruba factionalism. In January 1966, an Ibo-lead coup took control of the government.

Nigeria is also the largest populated country in the whole of Africa. The country ‘Nigeria’ is bounded in the West by the republic of Benin, while on the East is the Republic of Cameroon.

Bourgeois and Rodolitz have team-taught a web-based course on this subject for more than five years utilizing a dialogue medium that lends itself to immediacy and informality. Essays in the usual sense speak TO the reader; dialogue, however, allows the reader to participate, if only in an imaginary sense. Additionally, in the medium of dialogue, the evolution of thought is more apparent than in an edited essay. Often, the journey to a conclusion is as important as the conclusion itself. The reader is encouraged to join in this ongoing exploration. AB: Why don't we begin by considering a group of related objects, not necessarily related by culture but by function?

By the end of the year, we will have Psych Discourse linked to our organizational website (http://www.abpsi.org), and by the time that you read this, you can see last month’s issue and this month’s issue at a mirror site that I created on my personal website at Pitzer College (http://bernard.pitzer.edu/~hfairchi). The benefits are enormous. First, we begin a system of archiving Psych Discourse so that readers may select issues from the first online issue forward. (Whether we do backward posting is something that is being considered.) Second, we make the information in our monthly newsjournal available, at no cost, to readers around the world. Third, we may begin to generate revenues as we could charge a nominal fee for individuals to download Psych Discourse content. Fourth, we make the increasing use of Internet addresses, contained within articles, announcements and advertisements, to be “clickable” for those who read the online version of Psych Discourse.
