Ecological issues have gradually moved beyond the parameters of the public domain, in terms of issues for the government to handle, to matters of religious and spiritual concerns. This is evident from writings and teachings of the Popes and other religious and spiritual leaders, groups and bodies such as the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, and Alliance of Religion and Conservation, over recent years. These groups emerged because environmental challenges should not be left for the government alone to respond to or tackle.

TRADITIONAL MUSIC AND DANCE: AN OVERVIEW AND THEIR ROLE AMONG THE IGBO PEOPLE

BY ONYIA UCHE H, NATIONAL MUSEUM OF UNITY, ENUGU

There is a saying that people without knowledge of their culture are like people without history.

The culture of a people is a reflection of their way of life that gives them their specific cultural identity (Eke: 2007).  Culture is a set of beliefs, practices and symbols that are learned and shared. Together they form an all-encompassing integrated whole that binds people together and shapes their worldviews and life ways.
