Achebe himself believes that a typical Igbo man must be one who knows the Igbo proverbs, understands proverbs and knows how to apply them in natural context, hence he sees proverbs as the oil with which Igbo people eat words.

      flesch: 63
     summary: The study which relied on Labov’s theory of variation observed that educated Igbo speakers of English manifested variation in their production of weak forms when compared with RP. Bearing in mind that speakers who are not familiar with the use of weak forms are likely to have difficulty understanding speakers who do use the weak forms, as well as the need to avoid sounding unnatural before the competent users of weak forms, this study sets out to investigate and characterize the phonological use of weak forms by educated Igbo speakers of English with focus on pronouns across social variables of age and gender.

Patriarchy is a concept that empowers men to see themselves as superior, while women are subordinate.

     summary: Furthermore, since visual signs have become an important part of political expression, constructing either positive or negative images of politicians, political parties and addressing other issues and events of concern in the society, etc., a study of political cartoons which generally rely on a multiplicity of visual resources is not only desirable but also expedient in the light of the emerging linguistic and socio-political practices. Hence, through pictorial representations, political cartoons challenge the traditional ways of literacy, thereby affording readers new ways of interpreting meaning and reality.

     summary: Thus, exposure to and active use of sexist language may influence women’s attitudes about themselves, women in general, and the perceived difference between women’s and men’s status in society. Sexist language, according to Atkinson (75) is a “wide range of verbal practices, including not only how women are labeled and referred to, but also how language strategies in mixed sex interaction may serve to silence or depreciate women as interactants”.

     summary: Looking at these traumatic events, Goodluck Jonathan quoted in EmefienaEzeani’s in Biafra Africa Died (2013) attests to the disheartening violence and pains of war thus: “these act of mayhem are sad reminders of the events which plunged our country into 30 months of unfortunate civil war, referring to Biafran war in which more than one million people died” and the 1966 pogrom in the North”(50).

     summary: Evidently, in terms of thematic exploration, there is no clear- cut dichotomy among the three generations of Nigerian poets, but with the new Nigerian poet, there is a crystal difference in stylistic rendition and an artistic presentation that resonates with the socio-political complications and difficult situations of their time. Unlike other poets, the poet rejects supporting visionless ruler, and he will not be blind to their excesses.

     summary: The postcolonial situation in many countries in Africa, according to Maximilian Feldner, is driving “African migration movement, which, albeit is often caused by constrained circumstances, is largely voluntary, as many Africans leave homes to seek work and better opportunities elsewhere, particularly in the United States and Europe” (15). The realization that the dream of the good life is largely unrealizable usually breaks the spirit of many African immigrants in the West as they face the stark reality of being an outsider in a foreign land.
