Editor’s Notes on A Skilled Fisherman Without a Fish by K. Ubabuike This screen play has been perfectly edited in a style that modern artists and stage performers will find it very easy and simple to dramatise. This play is then one that really finds its root in the realm of socio-religious milieux as most of the events parallel with those found in scriptures. The parallelism in the text with that of the Christian faith captures conspicuously the religious trends in the modern episcopal calling to serve God and humanity, and that of self-will for selfish interests which most significantly lie on the pursuit of materialism. The story suffices the struggle of a future promising youth, Chijioke, who has his expertise in fishing and tailoring works, but is ironic that this professional fisherman goes through series of hectic activities without catching any fish. Does it mean that there's no single fish in that river or is it a matter of fate operating very revoltingly against him? This...

EDITOR’S NOTES This screen play has been perfectly edited in a style that modern artists and actresses will find it very easy and simple to dramatise. This play is then one that really finds its root in the realm of socio-religious milieux as most of the events parallel with those found in scriptures. The parallelism in the text with that of the Christian faith captures conspicuously the religious trends in the modern episcopal calling to serve God and humanity, and that of self will for selfish interests which majorly lie on the pursuit of materialism. The story suffices the struggle of a future promising youth, Chijioke, who has his expertise in fishing and tailoring works, but is ironic that this professional fisherman goes through series of hectic activities without catching any fish. Does it mean that there's no single fish in that river or is it a matter of fate operating very revoltingly against him? This is perhaps one of the most challenging questions troubling the mind of...

WHO ARE THE ANGELS AND HOW WERE THEY MADE? Introduction This assignment focuses on the need to trace the origin of the word “angels” , defining the concept, and exploring scriptures to find out how such heavenly beings are made. It’s however discovered that angels are neither God nor human beings but are super humans, created by God perhaps before the creation of man. Origin, and definition of the word, “angels” The word “Angels” is originated from  Greek “angelos”, which means “messenger.” Angels are God’s servants and messengers in the heavenly and spiritual realm, where they find true satisfaction in the unceasing worship and service of God. They were created before humans, they belong to a higher order than humans, and their number is countless. Angels have played an important role in the scriptures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Angels are generally understood as spiritual beings created by God; they are immortal and superior to humans in both knowledge of the divine and...

Introduction : Folktales, myths, and legends are special modes of oral literature for transmission of culture, norms and values of society. In this paper, it will be of prime importance to explain briefly their conceptual meanings, and then expound their significance in helping to revive our nation from social moral decadence. Folktales : The folktale, strictly defined, is a short narrative in prose of unknown authorship which has been transmitted orally; many of these tales eventually achieve written form. The term, however, is often extended to include stories invented by a known author—such as “The Three Bears” by Robert Southey (1774–1843) and Parson Mason L. Weems’ story of George Washington and the cherry tree —which have been picked up and repeatedly narrated by word of mouth as well as in written form. Folktales are found among peoples everywhere in the world. They include myths, fables, tales of heroes and fairy tales.  Another type of folk tale, the set “joke”—that is, th...

05, 2019 A Paper Presented by Fortune Nwaiwu in the Department of English and Communication Arts, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rivers State of Nigeria. Abstracts Many scholars claim that pidgin is a language of its own with community of speakers who pass it on from one generation to another (Hudson 2001:p.62), but this paper examines pidgins from the historical perspectives and presents a stunning fact about the linguistic status of pidgins as corrupted variety of English. With the influx of words from their lexifier language into their substrate variety, pidgins are then seen as debased and corrupted variety of the prestige language. This claim is supported by Krapp (1924) and Kurath (1928) and is validated with the imperfect second language learning hypothesis which states  that pidgins are the result of failed attempts at learning the prestige language, (see Brown and Attardo 2009:p.126). This paper is very significant in the sense that it sheds more light in the unde...
