DISCOURSE ANALYSIS AND PRAGMATICS; Issues in Theory and Practice (2017) – by Gbenga Ibileye
₦2,500.00Previous works on Discourse Analysis and Pragmatics have either been dominantly focused on theory or on practice without much balance and attention to both theory and analysis. The present volume seeks to strike a balance between the two closely related disciplines on the one hand, and between the study of theory in the two disciplines and on issues of methodology and application in specific areas of enquiry on the other. The book seeks to provide a cross-sectional view of scholarship in these areas, specifically from the perspective of how the intersection of theory and practice enables Nigerian scholars of Discourse Analysis and Pragmatics to understand and analyze texts that have pan-Nigerian peculiarities.

NIGERIAN GODS (2022) by Kome Otobo
₦4,000.00Nigerian Gods is an enlightening and sobering review of the impact of the introduction of the three main Abrahamic religions on Nigeria’s traditional religions, culture and way of life, viewed through the prism of its eleven largest and two of the smallest ethnic groups.
Kome Otobo, gives here a factual and acute description and presentation of the main characteristics of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria – historical background and socio-political structures, demography, traditional religions, differing impacts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and major occupations and modes of existence – which should serve to propel all to a fuller assessment of the complexities of the directions which a Post-Covid-19 World is tending rapidly, ethnically and racially exploited differences jumping to the fore to question erstwhile dominant political ideologies and political arrangements based on them.

PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANIES IN NIGERIA: Organisation and Function (2022) by Plangshak Musa Suchi
₦3,000.00“The thrust of the book is an analysis of the organisation and roles of private security organisations in Nigeria. Issues covered include growth and size of commercial security companies, reasons for their growth, motivation of the proprietors and clients, type of services provided and the extent of clients’ satisfaction, regulation, relationship with public law enforcement agencies, and challenges. These issues were discussed with results from an empirical survey of private security companies and their clients.
This book is one of very few academic studies of private security organisations in Nigeria, and perhaps the most theoretically grounded. The book, structured into nine chapters, should appeal to students of criminology, security studies, criminal justice and sociology; policymakers, law enforcement officials, proprietors and clients of private security company, legislators and the general public, and it is highly recommended to them.” Etannibi E.O.
