A Reconceptualization of Yoruba African Culture in the Age of Globalization and COVID-19
(The Palgrave Handbook of Global Social Change, 2023) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract The paper interrogates the culture of the indigenous people of the Southwest Nigeria, the Yoruba people, in the face of the global pandemic, the Coronavirus. It is a study which has been motivated by the fact that the Yoruba culture which prides itself as the best and superior culture in the local parlance has been compelled to adjust to an unforeseen circumstance from a clime offshore. The Yoruba social philosophy and cultural orientations constitute part of and symbolize a form of African culture which has been seen by Africans as a closed culture. It is, therefore, of a critical note that Yoruba culture is no longer as it used to be in the pre-COVID-19 era. For example, the people have realized that the Yoruba alterna tive medicine may not be as potent and this is contrary to practitioners’ claims. Also, the Yoruba masses tend to desist from idolizing the political elite as before when the political office holders were seen as indomitable and super humans. In addition, the cultural orientation that the congregation is less important than the clergy has changed or is changing after all, and the sub-culture of the immoral category of the society, the tuale sub-culture, is being standardized. This is contrary to the closed stance that the Yoruba culture custodians maintain on this culture as an African culture. This signifies that the Yoruba culture is not insulated from dyna mism that characterizes a culture, and that the culture is no superior as claimed.

African Feminist Culture and Patriarchal Dilemma in the Age of Globalization
(Admiralty Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, 2024-06) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
The paper is an observational exploration of the social and financial implications of the postmodernist feminist consciousness of African women in the age of globalisation. The millennial era witnessed the dominant prevalence of the internet and social media which have changed the orientation and tastes of most African women with the consequence of moderation collapsing giving rise to conspicuous consumption leading to higher expectation from the African man in marriage. The study is anchored on Molara Ogudipe-Leslie’s Stiwanist theoretical approach as contextualised within George Herbert Mead’s Symbolic Interactionism which promotes pluralist aggregate of social multiplicities. The African man is potentially able to navigate the gender dilemma by dismantling the debauched Wild Masculinity bloc. In addition to this, the African man in the age of globalisation and Global North capitalism necessarily needs to consider the late marriage option rather than sustain the African proverbial superstition that asserts that men automatically become prosperous as soon as they get married. The delay affords the African man room to amass a primary material base. In the same vein, the contemporary African man may consider marrying a far younger woman. The wide age difference is expected to enable the man to have become somebody in life such as a higher degree achiever, a cleric, a business tycoon, a professor, a director, a celebrity and so on. This will go a long way in eliciting respect from his wife. Keywords: African woman, culture, feminist consciousness, gender, globalisation, patriarchy,
African Literature and Culture in the Age of Globalization and Western Culture Dominance
(AKWA IBOM STATE UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF ARTS, 2024) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
bstractThe paper examines the characteristic nature of African Literature in relation to the manifesting influence of globalization and westernization of culture. The conceptual ideological tenets of African Literature aim to promote Africanity; that is, the promotion of African culture or anything that is African. However, the actual socio-cultural practices of the people of the continent are determined by the thoughts, initiatives and products of the people of the West. If it is the duty of literature to showcase the cultural values of its host society, then a contradiction ensues if African Literature sustains its resistance of the cultural values of the rest of the world especially, the Western culture. For more than a century the Western culture has been influencing life experiences across the world. African Literature intellectuals need to reflect this in their writings. African literature should shy away from ritual themes and the claimed pride and potential as its tenets and goals. Much attention should be given to the influence of globalization and Western culture on African culture. It has become unavoidable for African literature to address universal themes such as global peace, responsible consumption and sustainable cities and environment. This will makeAfrican literary works to be inclusive and globally relevant. It will also put African literary writers in good standing to win the Nobel Prize for literature again since Wole Soyinka won it in 1986. It will also be a genuine reflection of the Continent’scontemporary social and cultural realities. Key words: African Literature, Africanity, African culture, Western culture, Globalization
An avant-garde re-conceptualization of African (Yoruba) culture in the age of Corona-virus, western consciousness, and globalization
(AIPGG Journal of Humanities and Peace Studies, 2022) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract: The paper examines the new social and cultural orientations in Africa with specific emphasis on the Yoruba society in Southwest Nigeria. Such new orientations constitute the new components of Yoruba culture as occasioned by the unprecedented negative effects of Covid-19 in Southwest Nigeria. Such novel cultural constituents are strange to the traditional African culture and social life. These novel cultural constituents include demystification of African (Yoruba) mysticism and apothecary, defeatist attack on African communalism, restriction on the showy O wambe (social gathering or fun party) philosophy, as well as cautious resentment of migration to the West or to the East which brings along with it the de-internationalization of the sensory taste. These novel cultural constituents tend to be in tandem with the contemporary global cultural and social realities. As such, the traditional African (Yoruba) cultural practices and beliefs (such as communalism) in their pristine nature are lackluster, and consequently do expose the people to the ravaging effects of Covid-19 pandemic. More evident dangers could be noted in the futility of the African cultural assumptions such as the perceptions of the traditional Yoruba people about the gods and prophets who are seen as their saviors whereas the custodians of the gods and those who claim to be of God interceding for the people possess manipulated identities. The new cultural philosophy has resulted in the progressive alliance with the Western values and a re-evaluation of globalization as a result of its both negative and positive effects. This could be deduced, respectively, from the global spread of Covid-19 and new found austerity among the Yoruba people as a novel cultural tenet.

Contemporary Youth NeoǦculture, Cultural Integration, and African Social Development
(RUN Journal of Cultural Studies, 2017) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
The relationship between the older generation and the younger age bloc, in Africa, today, is being redefined. Such a redefinition is occasioned by the aesthetics of the culture of the latter age category. This is geared towards a redirection of the continent’s development course. However, certain conditions are required for the attainment of the objectives of the new aesthetic cultural order. The paper, therefore, investigates the nature of the new youth attitudinal culture which conflicts with the older generational cultural codes. From the Russian dialectical materialism perspective, the paper analyses youth attitudinal shift as driven by huge proclivity for contrary moral view. The paper concludes that the youth rank in Africa is endowed with the cerebral capabilities to drive Africa’s development in all ramifications if the psyche of the youth rank in Africa is emancipated from the controvertible African thought system and ethical stipulations. Key Words: Aesthetics, Neo-culture, Youth, Africa, Development, Cultural codes
DRAMATIC REPRESENTATIONS OF ANIMISM, CULTURE INDIGENEITY, ANDGLOBALIZATION IN SELECTED AHMED YERIMA’S RECENT PLAYS
(Akwa Ibom State University Journal of Arts, 2024) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Animism is a cultural practice in the Nigerian society and it is a common motif in the AhmedYerima’strilogy, Abobaku. Iyase and The Last Grain of Wheat. It is curious that the playwright is givingsignificantattention to a traditional African practice such as animism in the age of European consciousnessandglobalization. The study is anchored on the George Herbert Meads Interactionist Theory whichadvocatesinclusivity in both concepts and social behaviour. In the trilogy, Yerima maintains that theinfluenceofdeities on mortals in the African hermeneutical system needs to be modified. That the plays exhibit tragicincidents emanating from dogmatic faith in African gods and matrixes of Africa’s backwardnessechothemodernization intent of the African playwright. Literary writers on the African continent oftendisagreeonthe state of African culture in the contemporary world, the age of globalization which aspires toattaincultureunification and makes all cultures accessible to different peoples across the world. Some Africanliterarywriters on culture are of the view that the status quo of cultural practices such as promotionof theinfluenceof divinities on mortals should be maintained. However, others are of the viewthat manyof theAfricancultural practices are too archaic for the fast-moving, rational, and globalising world. AhmedYerimainthesethree plays is of the latter view as the animist consciousness and adherence in the plays results indestructiveand fatal consequences. This negative consequence of African animist cultural practice tends tomakeAfricanculture unattractive for global presence, accessibility and global acculturation.

Emericist Episteme of Thomas Didymus in the African Socio-cultural Context
(Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2019) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
The appellation, The Doubting Thomas, is a derogatory nomenclature designating stigma on one of the disciples of Jesus, Thomas Didymus. His singular act of demanding evidence before believing the resurrection of Jesus has plagued him with the stigma over many generations. However, it is asserted that the iconic disciple does not deserve such scathing stigmatisation. This perspective could be attributed to a number of factors. These include the philosophy of empiricism extent in the worldviews of many societies around the world, such as seeing is believing, gan ni a fiji among the Hausa, and iroyin ko to a f’ojuba among the Yoruba. The other is the utilitarian values of the empirical culture to the African social development efforts. The study employed the Formalist Theory with emphasis on its evidential tendencies to interrogate the insistence of Thomas Didymus on proof before acquiescing to the appearance of Jesus at His resurrection. The empirical culture in the model of Thomas Didymus could, indeed, be simulated by the African peoples in their conception of inter-personal deeds and dealings. Such will assure them caution about and checks on the other person in social dealings. In line with this, the electorate, the laity, the aborigines, children, and patients would scrutinize the actions of the political office holders, clergymen, the royal figures, parents and physicians, in respective orders. Such an orientation would end docility and levity on the continent.
Extreme Feminist’s Revolt in Selected Yoruba Nollywood Films
(Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2020-01) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract The paper investigates the construction of feminist revolt and gender contest in Adeshina’s Married Life, Alabi’s The Queen, and Soneye’s Ogun Ife – three selected Yoruba-Nollywood films. The research is a revisit to the African aboriginal assumption that women should be silent in society and accept patriarchal excesses as their fate. As theoretical guide, the study is motivated by Thomas Carlyles’s The Great Man Theory, which emphasizes the supremacy of the male gender in social leadership, and Molara Ogundipe-Leslie’s Stiwanism which uses the African variant of the feminist ideology to request the inclusion of women in the development of Africa. The study notes that the civilization that came with the millennium in Africa two decades ago is marked by much efficient Internet use and progressively the use of smart phones, tablets phones and social media. This has made some African women pursue the rights of women through the feminist advocacy more ruthlessly involving violence and disingenuousness. This is as presented in the films interrogated for the study. The reactions of the women in the interrogated films are extreme belligerent responses. They gradient towards violent rejection of the African traditional belief that women should be silent and tolerant in spite of the discomfort inflicts on them by the society. The attitude of women in the films studied suggests the traditional African woman’s meekness has always been a sacrifice to attain gender harmony with men. Key words: Gender, revolt, Patriarchy, Nollywood, Stiwanism
Literary Creativity and the Condition of the Nigerian Writer in the Age of Globalization
(2025) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract This paper examines the impact of social change on the Nigerian literary writerinthe contemporary Nigerian society. The social change in the country, as intherestofAfrica, has been occasioned by globalization within a capitalist economywhichNigeria practices. Such change in the Nigerian social consciousness has madetheAfrican literary writer redefine his/her social identity and more thanever placeemphasis on material acquisition. The new orientation of wealth acquisition, however, conflicts with the age-long stereotype of the African literary writer asanaustere scholar whose main essence of living is to serve as a watchdog ontheillsofthe society. This is a reflection of the tenets of the philosophical theoryofDeterminism as the theoretical framework for the study. Globalization has exposedthe Nigerian populace to glamorous lifestyle of Western celebrity, whichthesocietyexpects the African literary writer to satisfy, in a stifling capitalist economy. Yet, literature, the means of income for the writer, has lost its dominance as the primarysource of enlightenment in Nigeria. This may indicate that literary creativityisnegatively af ected in Nigeria. Consequently, vocational literary creativity maynotbe so lucrative to many people as a viable source of income. The writer is, therefore, caught between his/her role as the conscience of the society and the expectationofwealth acquisition that the glamour of globalization and an austere economyhasmade the society have of him/her.

Nigerian Digital Comedies: Hypothesizing the Intersection of Social Change and Artistic Phrases in Online Human-angle Skits
(HUMANUS DISCOURSE, 2025) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
This study evaluates the Nigerian comic artistry with specific emphasis on the human-angle subgenre as this concerns the Nigerian social change advocacy. This research focus has been motivated by the dominant emphasis on political comedies as a result of the numerous socio-political ills in Nigeria. This has made the literatures on political comedies in Nigeria for satirical intent to be monotonous. The study has therefore investigated the human-angle comedies in online platforms as a way of interrogating the human flaws in the broad-total ramifications of the Nigerian social decay. The study employs the Progressivist Theory as guide. The study is also qualitative in nature. It has been noted through the research videos that Nigerian human flaws include lewdness, prostitution (as signified in Kiekie’s ‘Hook Up’), rusticity (as noted in Lizzy Jay’s ‘I Experienced an Experienced’), as well as infidelity (as Lady Comfo preaches in ‘DNA Wahala’. Interpretatively, the study notes that these human frailties are contributory to the general decline in Nigeria’s social system. This is because, lewdness drains the purse and motivates avarice, rusticity breeds ignorance, and infidelity waters distrust. These become critical concerns because as they exist in the human-angle ramification at the base level, they play critical roles in forming and shaping the personalities of public political administrators in the country. The skit makers opine that solution to Nigeria’s political ebb necessarily needs to start from the base, the human-angle realms. Strategically, this message is conveyed in artistic words and phrases such as code-mixing, tonal aesthetics, pun and so on. These words and phrases are strategic language use by the vloggers as a way of conveying their thoughts across most efficiently through humour.
Nigeria’s Ghana-must-go slogan, Pan-Africanist diplomacy and the mediation of African literature in the age of globalization and sustainable development goals
(AIPGG Journal of Humanities and Peace Studies, 2021) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract: The statement Ghana must Go is a trade name of a brand of a utility bag in Nigeria. However, this nomenclature is a constant reminder of the 1983 expulsion of Ghanaian nationals from Nigeria. Since the expression is derogatory, it naturally threatens the bilateral diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Ghana, and portends a diplomatic row that has the potential to escalate. The study was motivated by the principle of pan-Africanism as its theoretical framework. The threat to the bilateral interaction between Nigeria and Ghana is opposed to the realization of the SDG Goal 16: Peace & Justice and this erodes the partnership accord that the United Nations intends in SDG Goal 17. The Consequence of this is that SDG Goal 8: Economic Growth is un actualized because of diplomatic row. This goes against Goal 1: No Poverty and Goal 2: Zero Hunger. The paper opines that African literature is capable of healing the wound already caused. This is because literature is a formidable tool for social enlightenment, civil education, history preservation and popular source of societal entertainment. The African Literature’s task of re-orientating the Nigeria-Ghana civil societies is capable of averting the disaffection from exacerbating. This task with which African literature could be saddled, unavoidably, is appropriately discharged when the prominent Nigerian and Ghanaian literary writers such as Wole Soyinka write pacifist literary works. Other African nations need contribute to the fence-mending efforts. By this, the disaffection which the Ghana-must-Go Nigerian civil culture is capable of engendering in the Nigeria-Ghana diplomacy will be subdued. 102 Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3800152 AIPGG Journal of Humanities and Peace Studies Vol. 2.

POST-COLONIAL AFRICAN LITERATURE: A QUERY OF THE RACIAL LEXICON AND PROPOSITION FOR THE POST-INDEPENDENCE ALTERNATIVE
(2025) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract The paper interrogates the rationality of the continued description of the literature of the former colonies, especially African literature, as post-colonial. This paper questions the relevance of post-colonial theory to contemporary African literary scholarship. The hegemonic practice that formed the basis for post-colonialism, that is, colonialism, ceased to exist at the independence of the countries of the former empire. Using Jacques Derrida’s Deconstructionist theory as a tool, the paper maintains that the literary convention of designating African literature as post-colonial in the age of globalization and universalism is erroneous and a misfit. The terms “Post-colonialism”, “Post-colonial Theory”, and “Post-colonial Literature” should cease to exist in African literary scholarship and, indeed, in the literature from the entire former empire. Continued reference to these terms runs counter to the social realities in the former empire, which are captured in their literatures. Again, “post-colonialism” massages the ego of the imperialist as the former empire nations are still psychologically tied to the atrocious hegemony. In the same vein, the sense of self-worth enshrined in the sovereignties of the colonized nations is ruptured in the term “post-colonialism”. Similarly, antecedent reveals that great countries that experienced dominion rule such as the United States did not persist in perpetual lamentation through such a nomenclature as “post-colonialism.” In the spirits of dignity and universalism and the social advancement of the former colonies, this work therefore argues that “Independence Literature”, Independence Theory”, and “Independence Writings” are edifying phrases which appropriately substitute colonialism-oriented terminologies in use today. Keywords: Post-colonialism, African literature, Independence literature, Globalization, Deconstructionist theory
Postmodern cynic appraisals of Africa’s geriatric culture of social development in the age of western globalisation and millennial consciousness
(HUMANUS DISCOURSE, 2023) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract The paper interrogates the sub-culture of the older generation of the African population and aspires to ascertain if this class of the African population can drive the development of the continent. The research is motivated by the control that the older generation in Africa asserts as they by the virtue of their mature ages and experiences are at the helms of affairs in divergent walks of life on the African continent, particularly in political administration. The paper employs Hollis Chenery's model of Structural-Change Theory which emphasises the patterns of development as the appropriate approach to economic development of a nation as the Structural Change Theory maintains that many countries of the world acquires wealth through different channels. In Africa, a sizeable number of the people in position of authority especially in governance are in the geriatric category of the population and do characteristically exhibit such tendencies as inordinate avarice, ostentation, self supremacy, suppression of the views of women, retributive vengeance with African voodoo, monarchial absolutism, superstition, financial prayer miracle, multiple births, as well as the beliefs that elders should not be queried on their deeds and actions. All of these attributes characterise the traditional African culture, and go against the modern global cultural and attitudinal principles such as financial prudence, hard work, fundamental human rights and science. The social and economic development of the African continent may be stalled and its progress hampered as long as those at the helms of affairs on the continent refuse to approach governance with postmodern approaches and attitudes. There is indeed the need for overt repudiation and elimination of such unprogressive and unproductive traits such as avarice, abuse of women, self supremacy, superstition, conventionalism, and ostentation to mention but a few. Keywords: African culture, Postmodernism, Social development, Old generation, Globalisation
Royal Patriarchy and Intra-Gender Conspiracy in Africa's Age of Globalization
(African Study Monographs, 2020-03) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
ABSTRACT The author examines the traumatic fate of the African woman in the patriarchal African royal oligarchy and the conspiracy of women against themselves within this realm, in the play Jakadiya by Ahmed Yerima (2017). The disposition of women in the royal establish ment is oppressive. This paper is anchored on the principle of Thomas Carlyles’s The Great Man Theory, and Molara Ogundipe-Leslie’s Stiwanism, an African variant of the feminist ideology which advocates women’s social inclusion in Africa. In Jakadiya, Yerima portrays and laments the objectification of women by the royal patriarchy. The main protagonists are two slave consorts, who are only to satisfy the sexual urge of the monarch, but not allowed any aspirations in life. In Jakadiya, Yerima relates the utter injustice that the patriarchal system in Africa commits against women aided, however, by women against fellow women. The drama tist suggests that Africa cannot progress in the age of globalization with feminine dehumaniza tion and exclusion. Key Words: Drama; Patriarchy; Monarchy; Africa; Feminism
The Context of Culture-Oriented Literary Aesthetics in Collegiate English Studies
(Dept. of Languages and Literary Studies Babcock University, 2014) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract The immense significance of English in the world today has informed the study of the language at the collegiate level as an area of interest. The essence of studying the language at the university level is to enhance the proficiency of speakers of this international language. The contents of English courses in most of the nonnative universities in Africa, however, tend to hamper the realisation of the core objective of the language programme. Emphasis has often been placed on structural elements such as parts of speech, morphological processes, phrases, clauses, or types of sentence. This practice has its limitations, which is the training of speakers who are only able to define linguistic structural items. Such speakers however, would err in actual language use in culture oriented social situations. Such emphasises the extension of structural grammar to the aesthetic context, which signifies that language efficiency, the domain of aesthetics, needs be underscored in English studies at the collegiate level. A disregard for the aesthetic naturally eventuates in a wide gulf in training the users of the English language at the global level, and this bars international intelligibility. The gap created can be filled only by extending structural discourses to the aesthetic context or functional literariness. This is in line with the phenomenon of socio-cultural realities characteristically influencing language use. Moreover, this informs an aesthetic modification in the course contents for English studies at the collegiate in nonnative universities. Key words: English, Aesthetics, Structure, Literariness, Culture
YORUBA AFRICAN CULTURAL PHILOSOPHIES AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN SOUTHWEST NIGERIA
(Izu Journal of Critical Perspectives, 2024) Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi
Abstract The paper assesses African cultural philosophies for the purpose of reconciling them with the cardinal foci of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The reconciliation is to ascertain the feasibility of the implementation of the SDG goals in Africa with specific emphasis on Southwest Nigeria. The research is anchored on the Progressivist Theory which favors transformational development in society. Such transformation is anticipated in SDG as conceived by the United Nations. However, there are several cultural beliefs, aboriginal conceptions and practices in Southwest Nigeria which could be seen as counter-productive to the realization of certain SDG goals. For example, such cultural philosophies or traditional practices include the belief that adura ni i gba, agbara ko (what makes a person rich is not hard work but prayers). This negates SDG Goals 8 and 10 on economic growth. Another philosophy is obe ti baale ile kii je , iyale ile kii se (a wife must not prepare a delicacy that her husband does not eat). This hurts SDG Goal 5 - Gender Equality, and its implementation in Southwest Nigeria by 2030 as it overrides the will and preferences of the women folks in a process of guiding patriarchal ego and wellbeing. These impeding cultural philosophies are age-long and this situation necessitates an inevitable extension of the 2030 target date for the implementation of SDG goals, globally. This is to allow attitude change among the Yoruba people of Southwest Nigeria through government campaign. Keywords: African culture, SDG, Southwest Nigeria, Yoruba proverbs, Yoruba society
