Uduma, E. O. 한국외국어대학교(글로벌캠퍼스) 아프리카연구소 2011 Asian Journal of African Studies Vol.30 No.-
This study investigates the semantic and pragmatic meanings of modals in President Good-luck Jonathan’s during Nigeria’s 50th independence jubilee. It involves analyses of the sociolinguistic, semantic and pragmatic implications of the independence speech. We examine the social characteristics of bureaucratic and political communication in order to bring to fore a coherent and well defined approach in analyzing political speeches. This paper studies President Jonathan’s speech during Nigeria’s 50th independence anniversary using speech acts to identify the impact of the speech on the Nigerian populace, also to identify the meanings of the pragmatic clue(of modal auxiliaries) as used in the speech. We conclude that this is not an ordinary congratulatory speech to invite the Nigerian to vote for the ruling party as identified in the 46th anniversary independence speech of former Nigerian president, Obasanjo, but a tailored speech intended to remind Nigerians that our future and development as a nation depends on our unity and urge them to forget tribal and religious differences and foster unity among its diverse tribes. The President extolled the virtues and sacrifices of the founding fathers that made compromises in the midst of ethnic and religious differences in order to build a unified nation. He regretted the actions of certain individuals whose intensions have been geared towards destabilizing the foundation of our unity. The president used the modal auxiliaries: will(intention), must(obligation), can(ability) more in his speech to prove his good intentions for the wellbeing of Nigeria, the obligations before him and Nigerians to build a virile nation, and the ability of Nigerians to do things right. We therefore conclude that the President’s speech is not just a congratulatory message common during independence anniversaries, but one intended to encourage and stir up Nigerians to work together towards building a nation where future generations would live in peace and unity.

Babalola, S. F,P. Alokan,E. O. Uduma 한국외국어대학교(글로벌캠퍼스) 아프리카연구소 2011 Asian Journal of African Studies Vol.30 No.-
God’s omnipotence or power is a phenomenon that is subject to controversial discussions down the centuries. The theists are of the opinion that God holds all power absolutely, but this assertion has been variously challenged, especially, in the context of the existence of evil in the world. Going by the experience of the Yoruba of south-west Nigeria, and also by the position of the process philosophers across the globe, the assertion of the theists that God holds absolute power is incoherent. This paper is in agreement with the process thought and the Yoruba of south-west Nigeria that a reinterpretation of God’s omnipotence is absolutely important. A correct understanding of God’s power will help in reshaping our thinking about the politics of our land, Nigeria. A central objective of this paper is therefore, to influence the power sharing formulae and to establish the crucial role of ‘check and balance’ in the governance of Nigeria. This will go a long way to salvage the country from corrupt rulers.
