Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an exposition of the sociocultural past, present, and futuristic preview of the Emevor-speaking people of the Niger-Delta, Nigeria. The work is the product of the author’s reminiscences and introspection into the historiography, geography, economy, language, education, and the multifarious rich sociocultural milieu of the people. It deals with the traditional customs, beliefs, totems, astronomy, time and event reckoning, marriages, traditional religions, ancestral worship and Christology, oracle divination, obituary and obsequies, initiation into Ehwa womanhood rites and sabbatical fattening of brides, festivals, identity of people, governance, heroes/heroines and modern pacesetters, and the changes provoked by modernity. By using simple language, graphic descriptions, and vivid and clear explanations of the phenomena and events, the author has taken the reader through the maze, as it were, with the needed compass to navigate through these labyrinths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, The Isoko Ethnic Nationality: In Time Perspective, is a concerted effort at interrogating the history and cultural practices of the mega Isoko clans with a concomitant foray into a concise discussion of the mini groups outside the main shores of Isoko. The approach of the author is novel and commendable. The author availed himself with existing literatures and interpreted same within the limit of new sources. The strong point of this work is the effort of the author in trying to weave the history of the Isoko people from the perspective of being one as epitomized by their intra-group relations. The view is that the Isoko were/are not a disparate ethnic nationality. The language of the author is acceptable and the font reader-friendly. The book is also illustrated with photographs. The book is recommended for scholars, administrators and all those truly committed to understanding who we are, where we are coming from, where we are, and what the future holds for us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of The Urhobo People of Niger Delta is the most comprehensive compilation and study of various aspects of the history of the Urhobo people of Nigeria's Niger Delta. It begins with an examination of the prehistory of the region, with particular focus on the Urhobo and their close ethnic neighbour, the Isoko. The book then embarks on a close assessment of the advent of British imperialism in the Western Niger Delta. History of The Urhobo People of Niger Delta also probes the arrival and impact of Western Christian missions in Urhoboland. Urhobo history is notable for the sharp challenges that the Urhobo people have faced at various points of their di?cult existence in the rainforest and deltaic geographical formation of Western Niger Delta. Their history of migrations and their segmentation into twenty-two cultural units were, in large part, e?orts aimed at overcoming these challenges. History of The Urhobo People of Niger Delta includes an evaluation of modern responses to challenges that confront the Urhobo people, following the onrush of a new era of European colonization and introduction of a new Christian religion into their culture. The formation of Urhobo Progress Union and of its educational arm of Urhobo College is presented as the Urhobo response to modern challenges facing their existence in Western Niger Delta and Nigeria. History of The Urhobo People of Niger Delta extends its purview to various other fragments of the Urhobo historical and cultural experience in modern times. These include the di?culties that have arisen from petroleum oil exploration in the Niger Delta in post-colonial Nigeria.
