Title: THE EFFECTS OF INTERNET USE ON CUSTOMERS-STAFF SOCIAL INTERACTION IN SELECTED BANKS IN SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA
Authors: Taiwo, Olabode Kolawole
Abstract: This study is focused on the the effects of internet use on customer-staff social interaction in selected banks in south western Nigeria. Methodologically, the study used structured questionnaire to obtain quantitative data from a sample size of five hundred customers. That is, one hundred customers in each of the selected banks using grab sampling technique. Result of the study shows that 24.1% of the respondents in First Bank Plc disagreed with the statements that high volume of internet facilities negatively affect social interaction between staff and customer while 30.3% strongly agreed that “there is no good social relationship between staff and customers because of Internet connectivity in my bank”. In Guarantee Trust Bank Plc, 24.5% strongly disagree that “the volume of internet facilities is responsible for poor social interaction” while 25.2% agreed that “there is no good social relationship between staff and customers because of Internet connectivity in my bank”. Findings in Skye Bank plc shows that 24.1% of the respondents disagreed that “the volume of internet facilities is responsible for negative relationship between staff and customers” while 39.4% of the respondents strongly agreed that “there is no good social interaction between staff and customers because of internet connectivity”. In the case of UBA plc, 44.1% of respondents were neutral that the volume of internet facilities causes negative relationship among staff and customers while 24.1% strongly agreed that internet connectivity is responsible for poor social interaction among staff and customers. Finally, in Zenith Bank plc, 23.1% agreed that the volume of internet facilities is responsible for negative social interaction between workers and customers while 25.1% disagreed that there is no good social interaction between staff and customers. The study concludes that while internet application and use for banking operations and services becomes a core central management value, it should be cultural friendly. That is, it should accommodate informal relationship among the stakes for proper and adequate expression.2015-06-01T00:00:00ZUNDERSTANDING ETHNICITY AND IDENTITYTHROUGH ETHNOGRAPHIC DETAILS REPOSIT IN DRAMA AND THEATRE, A REVIEW OF FOUR AFRICAN PLAYS

Title: UNDERSTANDING ETHNICITY AND IDENTITYTHROUGH ETHNOGRAPHIC DETAILS REPOSIT IN DRAMA AND THEATRE, A REVIEW OF FOUR AFRICAN PLAYS
Authors: Ademakinwa, Adebisi; ADEYEMI, Olusola Smith
Abstract: Right from the inception, drama and theatre have not only been used as instruments of preservation of culture and tradition, they have been most effectively utilized to interrogate, instruct, educate and conscientise. As human artistic devises, they have been used as tools of investigating the imperfections in the society with a view to encourage and reinforce change for the better. Through textual analysis, this paper examines how drama and theatre have been appropriated as sign posts for ethnographic understanding of people’s culture, ideology and social values. Among plays briefly examined are: J M Synge’sRiders to the Sea, Osita Ezenwanebe’s Shadows on Arrival, Efua Sutherland’s Edufaand Athol Fugard’s Sizwe Bansi is Dead. The paper reveals that drama and theatre can be deployed as part of the on-going project of addressing the politics of identity and representation in the contemporary situation of cultural and material inequalities that have been the subject of globalization.2014-06-01T00:00:00ZTHE CHALLENGES OF DESIGNING EPIC PERFORMANCES FOR FLEDGLING UNIVERSITY-BASED THEATRES

Title: THE CHALLENGES OF DESIGNING EPIC PERFORMANCES FOR FLEDGLING UNIVERSITY-BASED THEATRES
Authors: BAKARE, Eguriase Lilian
Abstract: The economic situation of a university has a great influence on how theatre education is handled by the Theatre Department of the university. The university budget must be designed to enhance full interpretation of the university curriculum especially as it pertains to the study of theatre. However, where there is paucity of funds especially because the university is young, theatrical productions in the department cannot but suffer a setback. This is because effective theatre training requires funds. The aim of this study therefore is to observe the Theatre Department of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Nigeria as an example of this scenario with a view to suggesting innovative alternative solutions to the problem of sourcing for funds. The study capitalizes on alternative design templates that may be explored in the area of Theatre Design especially when handling epic plays. The departmental production of Ola Rotimi’s “The Gods are not To Blame” will also be explored experimentally.2015-06-01T00:00:00ZMYTH AND THE AFRICAN PLAYWRIGHT: OSOFICAN’S CRAFT IN MOROUNTODUN

Title: MYTH AND THE AFRICAN PLAYWRIGHT: OSOFICAN’S CRAFT IN MOROUNTODUN
Authors: Omeh, Obasi Ngwoke
Abstract: The use of materials from folklore is one of the most sustained features of creative writing universally. Mythology is the greatest source of the said materials, and among the genres, drama appears to be mythology’s greatest client. One interesting aspect of scholarship on such myth-based works is the examination of the authors’ handling of the source material. Femi Osofisan’s Morountodun is one of the well-known African plays that are rooted in mythic sources. And many a scholar, including the author of the play himself, has commented on the handling of the myth in the play, but their comments affirm the same idea of a subversive use of the myth. None has tried to closely examine how the subversion is realized, a task which should probe the intricacies of the manipulation of the myth in the play. Thus, this neglected but inspiring aspect of the handling of the source material is the major concern enabling him to head the play towards a denouement that is different from that of its source.2014-06-01T00:00:00ZRHETORIC AND IDEOLOGY

Title: RHETORIC AND IDEOLOGY
Authors: Ikenna, Kamalu; Isaac, Tamunobelema
Abstract: This paper examines the text of Bishop David Oyedepo’s keynote address at the 26th conference of the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (AVCNU) held at Covenant University, Canaan Land, Ota, Nigeria in June 2011. Previous studies on speeches in Nigeria have focused mainly on those made by politicians, statesmen, and military rulers. Some have also examined the stylistic, pragmatic and discourse features of the sermons of some Nigerian Pentecostal pastors. No speech analyst has studied the speech of a university chancellor of a Pentecostal Christian University in a purely social/academic setting. This paper is a study of the rhetorical and ideological nuances underlying the speech of a Pentecostal Christian University Chancellor delivered in a purely social/academic context. The study employed a qualitative approach in the analysis of the text to tease out the meaning potential of the rhetorical strategies deployed in the speech and the ideology that motivated their use. Methods of and insights from discourse analysis, the systemic orientation, and the theory of rhetoric were employed to unearth the underlying ideology and persuasive strategies used in the address. The significance of the study lies in its exploration of the diverse uses of language in constructing and motivating an ideological order that presents a positive attitude to life’s challenges in a third world economy like Nigeria.2015-06-01T00:00:00ZMAGHREBIAN LITERATURE AND THE POLITICS OF EX(IN)CLUSION

Title: MAGHREBIAN LITERATURE AND THE POLITICS OF EX(IN)CLUSION
Authors: Kayode, Atilade
Abstract: The identity of Maghrebian Literature has become an integral aspect of the politics of modern African Literature. Within this overall politics the literature from the Moghreb is often excluded from African literary canon due to its similar socio-cultural orientation with the Arab world. This paper explores the content and context of the Maghrebian Literature with a view to foregrounding its area of convergence in the specific contexts of ideology, themes and style with the other bodies of modern African Literature. It argues, in addition, that these factors that shape literary evolutions in the other parts of Africa also shape the Maghrebian Literature. These factors include colonialism, postcolonial situation and cultural experience. After an extensive survey on the shades of the argument on the status of Maghrebian Literature the paper concludes that critics from both sides of the division ought to begin to see this Literature as an integral part of modern African Literature instead of playing the political ostrich.2014-06-01T00:00:00ZEXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY AND FOREIGN CAPITAL INFLOW NEXUS: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA

Title: EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY AND FOREIGN CAPITAL INFLOW NEXUS: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA
Authors: Ditimi, Amasoma; Ifeakachukwu, Philip Nwosa; Mary, Modupe Fasoranti
Abstract: Foreign Capital Inflow remains a significant factor in the development of any nation’s economy. But what is the nature of the relationship between the volatility in the exchange rate and foreign capital inflow? This paper examines the effect of this relationship on foreign direct investment in Nigeria between the period 1981 and 2010. In order to achieve its overall goal the study has utilized co-integration and error correction modeling approach. The unit root tests show that the variables are integrated of order one while the Johansen co-integration result showed that the variables are co-integrated. The regression estimates show that exchange rate volatility has significant positive impact on foreign direct investment in the long run while in the short run it has an insignificant-negative effect on foreign direct investment in Nigeria. The study concludes that exchange rate volatility has differential impact on foreign direct investment in the long run and in the short run.2014-06-01T00:00:00ZPOWER, RESPONSIBILITY AND LANGUAGE

Title: POWER, RESPONSIBILITY AND LANGUAGE
Authors: Victoria, Oluwamayowa Ogunkunle
Abstract: The basic assumption of this research is that communication is preoccupied with the relationships between language and other variables outside language. The study, therefore, investigates how such variables as power and responsibility acquire their forms in and through language in Soyinka’s play. By focusing on the conative function of language as proposed by Jacobson (1960), the study explains how the relationships between language and power, language and responsibility are dramatized in Soyinka’s A Play of Giants. The study concludes that despite the fact that power and responsibility are subsumed in positions of authority; the powerful abducts power from those positions and leave the responsibility unattended to. This work adopts insights from a functionalist orientation in order to study an aspect of the language of Soyinka’s A Play of Giants.
