  Notes from the Editor-in-Chief

  The 21st century is the age of the minorities. It is also the time when power moves away from the centres to the peripheral spaces. It is the age of the underdogs, when we remember the forgotten, lift up the downtrodden and centralise the stories of the unheard. This epochal shift has been witnessed on major philosophical and literary fronts. For instance, minority peoples across the world have been recognised and given their pride of place in history and literature. This has been the case with Akwa Ibom Indigenous Literature which forms the focus of this special edition.

  Akwa Ibom State was created on the 23rd of September, 1987, from old Cross River State. It is a land rich with human and natural resources. The human resources in Akwa Ibom State have excelled in all fields of human endeavour, including literature. Yet there is more to aspire to and to hope for. This collection of scholarly articles is a celebration of the Akwa Ibom achievement in literature and criticism. It is time for the world to know and learn our literature.

  By way of definition, Akwa Ibom indigenous literature refers to the literature of Akwa Ibom peoples, referring to the Ibibio, Annang, Oro and Efik. Akwa Ibom indigenous literature is mostly authored by authors from Akwa Ibom State and does include non-Akwa Ibom authors as long as their works express the Akwa Ibom cultural sensibilities. Akwa Ibom indigenous literature also accounts for the literature of the Akwa-Cross region, known to share the same cultural ethos.

  Though great works have been produced in these spaces, these works have been greeted with little or no critical attention. Thus, the birthing of Akwa Ibom indigenous literature is highly commendable. Special thanks to Dr Eyoh Etim, the Founder and Managing Editor of Planeyo Journal of Arts and Humanities (PLANJAH), for the vision of this special edition which will do a lot to preserve the literature of Akwa Ibom peoples. I thank all the editors and reviewers who saw to the elegance of the papers published in this volume. The NLNG deserves great praise for supporting PLANJAH and Planeyo Publishers to produce these papers without charging the authors Open Access Publication fees. The Special Edition is planned to be yearly and dedicated to the enrichment of our literature and culture. This edition is published in honour of Late Professor Ime Ikiddeh who, in his lifetime, dedicated his life to the improvement of Akwa Ibom Indigenous Literature, seen especially in the publication of his poetry collection, The Vulture’s Funeral and Reincarnation, which Eyoh Etim has studied in his paper also published in the journal.

  To the readers, I ask you to read the offering in this scholarly anthology with ease that is punctuated with thoughtfulness.

  Planjah Volume 2, Number 3, June, 2025

  Notes from the Editor-in-Chief

  I am thrilled to write this brief for the Third Issue of Planeyo Journal of Arts and Humanities (PLANJAH) in 2025. In this edition, which is the Volume 2, Number 3, of the journal, we have eight papers spread across the humanistic disciplines such as Literature and Criticism, Philosophy, Language, History and Theatre Arts.

  Of the eight papers, three form a body of works on Akwa Ibom indigenous literature. These papers are authored by Eyoh Etim, Ekikereobong Aniekan Usoro and Imikan Nkopuruk. Eyoh Etim writes on ‘Poetry as Social Signification in Ime Ikiddeh’s The Vulture’s Funeral and Reincarnation’, Ekikereobong Usoro writes on ‘Arnold Udoka and the Non-polar Gender Approach to Niger Delta Postcolonial Ecocritical Problems’, while Imikan Nkopuruk’s paper is on ‘Context, Pragmatic Acts and Educational Implicatures in Annang Proverbs in Selected Songs of Uko Akpan’. I believe that the publication of these papers will contribute significantly to the existence of secondary data sources for the future critiquing of Akwa Ibom indigenous literature. The rest of the five papers are authored by scholars spread across the fields in the Humanities. For instance, Mopelola Rachael Olayiwola has a paper on Literature and Gender Studies entitled ‘Subversion of Marginality in Gendered Role Representation in Goretti Kyomuhendo’s Secret No More and Moses Isegawa’s Abyssinia Chronicles’. Kehinde Oyetimi’s paper is based in Literature and is entitled, ‘Allegory of Leprosy and the Metaphor of Isolation in Ngugi wa Thiong’O’s Petals of Blood’. Given that Ngugi wa Thiong’O passed away recently, this paper allows us to reflect on the greatness of Ngugi and the legacy he has bequeathed the literary landscape. Oluwaseyi Paul Adebile has a paper in History and International Relations, ‘Mirroring the Present from the Past: Diplomatic Reflections on Totalitarian Challenge in Twentieth-century Europe’, while a paper in Religious and Cultural Studies authored by Peter Tavershima Kumaga et al is entitled, ‘Religion and African Identity in a Globalised World’.

  All the papers published in this edition went through double blind peer review process as stipulated in the Journal’s policy statements. I am grateful to all the reviewers and editors for their selfless service, especially in their timely and thorough reviews and reportage.

  I am most grateful to the NLNG whose support has made it possible for the papers in this edition to be published without Open Access Publication Charges (OAPC). Because academics in the 21st century rely on Open Access publication to achieve visibility and citation for their works, the support of the NLNG for the journal is laudable as it has relieved academics the burden of paying for their publications.

  I want to most sincerely thank the entire membership of the journal’s Editorial Board for their hard work, patience and commitment, which have seen to the stable development of the journal thus far. I invite the readers to dive into the content of the journal with excitement as the authors are adept at their work.

  Pond of Leeches by Stephen Kekeghe

  ₦5,000.00 Original price was: ₦5,000.00.₦4,000.00Current price is: ₦4,000.00.

  Pond of Leeches written by Stephen Kekeghe, a play of fourteen movements of varying lengths with an aptly illustrative cover page, is another new voice ingeniously crafted as a strong indictment on the political leadership of our nation. The artistic manipulation of techniques and explicit depiction of our common and disturbing concerns are the hallmarks that have ensconced this literary piece within the functional ambience of African literature.

  In Rumbling Sky, one encounters a disconcerting language of the inward. The loud echoes of choking pains and the silent whispers of this collection were written in a harrowing season of political recklessness and human depreciation in Nigeria. They foreground universal challenges, which bestride the sociopolitical, private and domestic domains of any nation that defames morality and humanity in the altar of politics, ethnicity and religion.

  ‘. . . the poems sit well in the title, reaching back, in nostalgia, to the cradle, capturing the present and forecasting tomorrow. . . the poet has demonstrated the definition of life and self-discovery at birth, infancy, adolescence an in adulthood. The wisdom and wit that enrich the poems with regard to universal ontological , epistemological principles go to confirm the precocity of the poet. . . I recommend the work to readers, particularly to lovers of wisdom and beauty.’

  The land of Yip Ta Wong lies in the grip of a few chiefs with an impotent-power-wielding High Chief. They decide what goes on in the village and what accrues to the people. At their beck and call are slothful youths whose consciences are already bought with money. The community is in a dark phase where morally-minded people are hounded and made to look like outcast. But the moment of truth must come to bring light; that is why the Lizards lying belly-wise should rise and identify those with stomachache and deal with menace.
