Listening is an important tool of learning as it involves devoting time and attention to the acquisition of knowledge competence on an academic subject in education. Most students regard listening as a complex interactive process which involves a dynamic process of construction of meaning. As a result of this, students at the secondary school level exhibit poor listening habit and their performance has not been encouraging in English Language. Hence, this paper sought the analysis of listening comprehension performance of senior secondary school students at the discriminative, informative and critical levels of listening. The study was a descriptive survey research. The population for the study consisted of all the senior secondary schools in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Random sampling technique was used to select 315 SSII students which served as the sample for this study. The instrument used for the study was a Listening Comprehension Test. Percentage and ANOVA were used to answer the research questions raised and analyse the hypotheses generated at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study showed that the general level of listening comprehension performance of senior secondary school students in Abeokuta Received : 13-10-2021 Accepted : 24-12-2021 Published : 22-1-2021 Analysis of Listening Comprehension Performance of Senior Secondary School Students in Abeokuta, Nigeria Miṣriqiyā Vol. 2 Issue 1 (2022) 18 was high. There was a significant difference in the senior secondary school students’ performance in listening at the discriminative, informative and critical levels on account of subject combination. It was concluded that the general level of listening comprehension of secondary school students was high. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that greater premium should be placed on the teaching of listening comprehension in public schools. Curriculum planners and policy makers are to readdress the issue of listening skills in secondary schools.

: Cet article étudie le texte de l’écrivain français contemporain, Alain Blottière qui préface les photographies de Denis Dailleux dans Fils de roi : Portraits d’Égypte, en appliquant la poétique de l’ekphrasis sur ses prises photographiques. L’ekphrasis implique l’engagement du lecteur/spectateur et permet de mettre sous ses yeux une description précise, en rappelant une autre forme d’art -ici la photographie- en rapport avec le texte littéraire. Par sa manière d’analyser, de détailler et de morceler la composition artistique de l’œuvre d’art, elle lui confère alors un caractère onirique qui tisse un lien entre imagination, mémoire et inconscient du spectateur . Par le biais de l’écriture de Blottière, qui décrit les prises photographiques de Dailleux, le lecteur est engagé à goûter l’art visuel de ses techniques photographiques, à saisir les caractéristiques du peuple égyptien des quartiers populaires portraituré, et enfin à comprendre la situation socio-économico-politique sous le régime politique républicain de l’Égypte contemporaine.

Narratives play an essential role in human communication and culture. A well-tailored narrative, whether it is a short story or a long novel, is considered a powerful tool in influencing people’s thoughts, beliefs and therefore their behaviours. The glorious Qur’an is rich in narratives of various types. This paper focuses on studying the parable of “The Companions of the Cave” which is a very prominent narrative among the Muslim community. The present work is mainly concerned with studying the linguistic features of this parable. The investigation, presented in this paper, tackles all levels of linguistic analysis including: the phonological, lexical and morphological, grammatical, semantic, and stylistic levels. The investigation reveals a plethora of linguistic features in such short story. One of the prominent findings of this research is that the stylistic features are plentiful than the other linguistic ones given the brevity of the story. It is worth mentioning that different modes of narration have been used in this significant parable such as authorial tone, direct speeches as well as dialogues. Furthermore, the scene description as well as the employment of semantic characteristics such as synonymy, antonymy, hyperbole, hyponymy and figures of speech allow the reader/listener to construct vivid images of the story. The paper also highlights the significance of employing the various phonological features on top of them are the auditory components such as rhyme and internal-rhyme, alliteration, assonance and consonance to engage the audience, grab their attention and facilitate the memorisation of the story.

The Whatsapp platform created in the year 2009 is a mobile messaging app which allows the users to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. It also makes communication and the distribution of multimedia messaging more easily and faster using internet connectivity. This study therefore investigated the potentials of Whatsapp group in promoting learning, social interaction and democracy among undergraduate students in University of Maiduguri, Borno State Nigeria. The study had three objectives and three corresponding research questions. Qualitative design was adopted for the study. The population consisted of all the four Whatsapp groups formed for the undergraduate levels of adult education programme. Out of these four Whatsapp groups, two were selected for the study. The two groups selected for the study were those of 300 and 400 levels in the 2017/2018 academic session. The population of the group members at 300 level were 97 while those at 400 level were 103. This gave a total population of 200. Three posts consisting of messages covering information text and supportive images, audio, video and document files posted to the group platform made by three male students and female students in each of the levels in line with the research objectives raised for this study were chosen by expert views for analysis. The reliability of the posts were determined cross checking with the facts on ground to ensure that only consistent data is used for the analysis. Analysis in this study was done using narratives only. The result of the study shows that Whatsapp groups utilized by undergraduate adult education students in 2017/2018 academic session for the 300 and 400 level students has greatly promoted their learning, social interaction and practice of democracy. The study concluded that the Whatsapp group is a very important platform for undergraduate adult education students. It therefore recommends amongst others, that Class Representatives should partner and add their various course Lecturers to their groups so that they could help them clarify certain concepts or issues they did not understand in the classroom.

When discussing African literature, it becomes impossible to bypass the issue of language, and more importantly African native languages, which seem to be close to quasi-inexistent when it comes to writing in them. In fact, most African written literature has come to life using the languages of the European languages imposed by force and at times subtly by the colonizers. In his book, groundbreaking Decolonising the Mind , Ngugi wa Thiong’o, the Kenyan writer and critic, addresses the issue by attacking these European languages in practice in both African nation-states and literature, and what the said languages represent ideologically and hegemonically when in use in Africa. In order to have a truly African literature, i.e. one utterly independent from the former colonial influences, Ngugi proposes a literature in African in African indigenous languages. How does he go about putting this in practice? Does such a proposition fit well in our days and age? These are the questions, among others, this paper seeks to address. The transition of the dead to the world of the ancestors in indigenous societies goes beyond the burial and physical disintegration of the individual. The rites attendant on the absence of the deceased in the Ugbo /Benin milieu culminate in the final journey to the world of the ancestors. This can be termed apotheosis, which may be considered the general recognition that the deceased can be considered an ancestor and could sit among other ancestors. While using aesthetics as a springboard, the paper establishes the fact that indigenous ritual performances may amount to what Eliot T. S. terms “the objective correlative”, and other new generations of aestheticians such as James Shelley call “sensible pleasures, rational pleasures”, and Wonderly terms “transcendent desires.” The signs and symbolic gestures attendant on the rite of passage that are potent means of establishing belief and amplifying a picturesque presentation of what may seem abstract are instrumental in upholding transition rituals in indigenous societies. The rites of passage further amplify the belief of indigenous people that necessary rite must attend the demise of every person upon the yield to the power of death and the negation of which could bring fatal consequences on the offspring of the individual. This paper aims at studying the story of the creation of the universe in Book One of the Bantu Text Indaba, My Children (1964) in an attempt to contextualize it within parallel creation myths from other traditions and cultures. The paper claims that the text under study is a creation myth, which is viewed as a sacred text with a cosmogonic function: to inform about the creation of the universe. To achieve this end, the researcher compares the common motifs recurrent in two of the most famous creation myths: the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible and the Babylonian creation myth known as the Enûma Eliš on one hand, and the ones found in Indaba, My Children on th
