It investigates his professional background as an economist and banker, through his detour into the media as progenitor of a new genre of technicalized reportage, and a seasoned manager in one of Nigeria’s most important newspapers in its time, the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc. It also scrutinises his later undertakings in political communication and public information management in his polyvalent media career over a period of five decades. Deploying the historic-method, this article probes the career course of Ugochukwu as a reporter, writer, editor, editorial director, political publicist and presidential communicator. This is to appropriately define his contributions to these aspects of the gamut of media practice, and to national growth. It successfully establishes that Ugochukwu has contributed immensely to the elevation and standardization of media practice and its repositioning as a profession which commands scholarship and intellectualism in the furtherance of national development.

This medium has equally mainstreamed itself into competing favourably with other media struggling for human attention. Therefore, even in an era when the youths have found fun with internet services, this medium is equally compliant with social media. It is on this locus standi that this article investigates The Lost Soul in an attempt to scale down the misuse of drugs by students of tertiary institutions, which truncates their educational pursuits, rendering them redundant and their families and by extension Nigeria sorrier for it. Armed with this report, this discourse adopts an analysis and deduction approach by way of qualitative research of the movie under study with the view to stampeding the spread of this anathema on our campuses. Consequently, this article recommends the mass production of movies with this thematic relevance, among others, by the various Theatre Arts Departments in Nigerian universities where students themselves account for the largest part of the cast and crew members. This will definitely command more youth viewership and hence, scale down to some reasonable extent the vices threatening to militate against their educational development since they will become or are the fulcra of any labour force and the leaders of tomorrow.","PeriodicalId":333241,"journal":{"name":"EJOTMAS: Ekpoma Journal of Theatre and Media Arts","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122637051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it has suffered serious neglect. The neglect affects the experts and non-experts in different areas of the theatre profession. This study takes a look at set design in Nigerian universities with emphasis on University of Ibadan, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and University of Abuja. A descriptive method that entails observant participatory approach was adopted. Observations and conclusions reached were through visits to the mentioned institutions above as well as the functionality of the set construction of plays watched. This provided the opportunity to assess the functionality of the equipment used and the quality and value of the sets constructed. The following findings were reached: equipment was obsolete, the staff and the students relied on improvisation and recycling during performances in most cases. Many departments of theatre arts lacked adequate set design equipment which reduced the quality and value of their productions. The funding required to procure or acquire design equipment was a paltry sum and this also led to lack of regular training of designers. The recommendations of this study, therefore, are that play directors and set designers should have a sense of history of their theatre structure. They should also bridge the gap between the expected and actual set design and their roles towards success in play production. Furthermore, set designers within the academy should be sent for training regularly to enable them update knowledge in the constantly evolving area of automated theatre design and technology.

Its objective is to assess the role of design elements in the technical process of achieving visual transmogrification on stage and explore the extent of the director’s interpretational conformity to, or divergence from, the original ideas of the playwright in the dramatic text. This work is situated within Merleau-Ponty’s concept of Embodiment and Body-subject, with a view to analysing and understanding theatre and drama as lived experiences, and visually embodied consciousness and perception. It seeks theoretical supports from Umberto Eco’s idea of semiotics. This study used a qualitative methodology, primarily including key informant Interviews, for the collection of data, which, in turn, received content analysis. The study concludes that stage design and its attendant elements are central to the process of retrieving meaning from dramatic texts to the audience because while Ahmed Yerima clearly diverged from Soyinka’s original intention in the text, he relied heavily on stage design and allied elements as the facilities of divergence.","PeriodicalId":333241,"journal":{"name":"EJOTMAS: Ekpoma Journal of Theatre and Media Arts","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124274581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, “hers”, “her” and “Ojo’s” are some examples of possessive cases. These possessive cases indicate grammatical property of language. The usage of these cases in utterance varies in languages. Hence, they variations often pose problem to ESL learners. Predicating on Contrastive Analysis Theory, the study generated Okpameri data from oral sources and participatory observation of the researchers in natural Setting. English data were got from the English grammar texts. The areas of investigation were Possessive Pronouns, Possessive Adjectives and Possessive Nouns. From the findings, the two languages under study are grammatically marked for possessive cases with reference to 1st, 2nd and 3rd person singular and plural numbers. However, the usage of these cases differs. While English is gender sensitive, this is not so in Okpameri language as Okpameri resorts to using uni-gender to indicate possession. Okpameri possessive pronouns and adjectives have different morphological forms representing persons (e.g 1st person singular). Not all forms of possessive cases are capable of co- occuring with every noun. While Okpameri distinguishes between subject and complement possessive cases, this is not so in English. The study, therefore, suggests that language teachers, particularly, English language experts should adopt systematic approach to the teaching of possessive cases as this will further broaden the Okpameri ESL learners’ knowledge on how to use the English possessive cases.","PeriodicalId":333241,"journal":{"name":"EJOTMAS: Ekpoma Journal of Theatre and Media Arts","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121462337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The creation of new words to capture the new experiences and technologies becomes inevitable. This work researches into neologisms in the forms of clippings – shortening of words; and blends – combination of parts of two or more source words in both the English and the Urhobo languages. The exploratory, descriptive, quantitative and comparative research methods were used, while data collection was done through library search, interviews and extensive internet search. From the result of the analysis of accessed data, English has back clips (52%) and fore-clips (19%) as its two most frequently occurring types of clips; the Urhobo has the most frequenting occurring as the median clips (44%) and fore-clip (38%) as the next most frequent. Again, while the English language has the most blend as the (BE) (41%), followed by (WE) (19.1% and ((BW) at (13.7%), the Urhobo blend patterns are more varied with (BW) as highest (25.5%); followed by (MW) (15.7%) and (WE=O) (11.8%) respectively. This shows that there are word mutations appearing in clips and blends, and, therefore, recommend that these are studied and included in our daily use, especially in informal settings.","PeriodicalId":333241,"journal":{"name":"EJOTMAS: Ekpoma Journal of Theatre and Media Arts","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133937562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After Nigeria recorded its first case in February 2020, the death toll rose with increased number of confirmed cases. Notably, as experts strove to understand, track, and contain the pandemic, the media kept pushing the frontiers of public awareness faster than the spread. However, the proliferation of disinformation had continued to contend with global responses to the pandemic. It stimulated undesired public behaviours, such as non adherence and public protest, as witnessed in most parts of Nigeria. This research is an empirical study that examines the media strategy responsible for the different behaviours observed in Ekiti state, where the public acceptance of Covid-19 guidelines seemed to have resulted in the considerable containment of the sickness’ spread in the state. The study employs both the qualitative and quantitative research methods, and hinged on Elizabeth Noelle-Neumann’s model (1973) of Powerful effect theory and the “Source credibility theory” of Carl Hovland and Walter Weiss (1951). The researchers observed that in spite of the independent mindedness that characterizes Ekiti people, which challenges most public mobilization endeavours, the populace demonstrated high degree of adherence and compliance to Covid-19 awareness mobilization. In the interest of communal well-being, they volunteered information on violator to the authorities. We discovered that individuals with reckonable public credibility were used as sources of information for the awareness message of Covid-19. Apart from source credibility strategy, geo-coding, which exploited the ethical cultural tenets of the Ekiti world-view was another effective media strategy employed. The researchers hereby recommend the findings of this study as viable and effective media strategies for public enlightenment in the event of future public health crisis in Nigeria.
