Abstract: The focus of this paper is to explore the different theoretical perspectives that underline academic attempts at understanding and explaining the nature of conflicts in Africa. The African environment is riddled with the past history of conflicts among groups either for an economic outlet or imperial space, and most often, such past negative interactions have made it difficult even now for some of these groups to live harmoniously together within the present state system and to trust each other. The paper observed that no one theory or explanatory schema could offer a holistic explanation of conflict in Africa. At best, each of the possible theories can only offer a partial explanation of the causes......

The energy sector will face an increasingly complex set of interrelated challenges - economic, geopolitical, geostrategic, industrial, technological, regulatory and societal.

Abstract: This paper examines NiyiOsundare's use of symbols or symbolic images as significant and dominant formal devices by which the poet explores and amplifies his themes. It is observed that these symbolic images perform both aesthetic and social functions. The aesthetic function derives from their suggestiveness, their imaginative evocations of the human condition with which the poet is concerned; and the social function is manifest in the way the poet enlists our sympathy towards the oppressed and exploited masses on the one hand, and on the other hand directs our perception and attitude against the oppressive Establishment. As subtle connections between content and form, the symbols are studied as part of the technical machinery that gives Osundare's poetry the qualification of art.
