The Devil in the Cathedral: A Shadow of Death is a metaphor of lamentation that bemoans the failure of a much looked-up-to leader and that of the led who fail to keep a code of Ten Commandments. This leader Dr. EJANG, who emerges with the rare opportunity which providence gives the minority, squanders it leaving his people not any better than he met them. The play is then a political satire just as it uses the Christian religious parlance to periscope the acts of the individual and the society at large as the cathedral. The irony is that whereas it is Christians that should worship in the cathedral, the people are possessed by the devil himself who rules over their hearts and therefore calls the shots that happen in the universe of discourse of the play to wit, bloodletting, violence, rape, prostitution, political intrigues, betrayal and vendetta. The repercussion is that ¿RABIA, the Niger Delta which should have been benefitted by the facts that it is an oil-producing political sub zone and that it produced the president, is worse off. Events in the play show that neither fact is a point of advantage to the ¿RABIANS. Dr. Godwin UshieDepartment of English Language, Uni-Cal Nigeria.

¿The Unfaithful Bride' is a dramatic collection of poems that encapsulates the palpable indifference between pastor and his bride. It is imbued on the unfaithfulness of the rider's bride, who has never meant good for her lord. As a result, the poem is a metaphysical piece of art wherein the poet uses a mechanical object to articulate the phenomenon of nuptial indifferences between a couple. There is no direct relationship between a motorcycle and a bride, but through the use of metaphors, the poet illustrates a clear link between the two seemingly unrelated ideas. To his credit, the poet Fortune Nwaiwu, is able to achieve this very well. The poet is believed to have been a fan or an avid reader of George Herbert¿s poems, especially that of his ¿Pulley¿.In this collection of poems, the poet attempts to convey the pain and suffering some pastors undergo during the course of their ministerial careers. The poet-persona laments on the manner in which his motorcycle has disgraced and disillusioned him before the eyes of men.

This study ¿Code Mixing and Code Switching Among Etche-English Bilinguals¿ was set to find out the use of code mixing and code switching in both formal and informal settings of Etche-English bilinguals using two domains: education and religion. It examined the types of code mixing/switching, the syntactic positions of code mixing, the probable reasons and the impacts of code mixing and code switching on the use of English among Etche bilinguals. The study was based on the subjects¿ performance on the use of code. The researcher collected data from the utterances of the subjects from the sampled schools and churches through observations and these were analysed using Hymes¿ (1974) theory of communicative competence as the theoretical frame work and Halliday¿s (1961) theory of systemic grammar to account for the occurrences of code mixing. Our findings showed that in formal settings, the bilinguals tended to code mix Etche more frequently but code switch to English more frequently than Etche in informal settings. This was attributed to the setting of discourse and probably, there were many expressions in English that are familiar to the bilinguals which they could use in their sentenc

W ko¿cu wszyscy zginiemy. Mimo ¿e mamy nadziej¿ na niebo, nie mamy ochoty umrze¿ natychmiast. Wci¿¿ mamy wiele do zrobienia podczas pobytu tutaj na Ziemi i mamy nadziej¿, ¿e spotka si¿ to z ¿yczliwo¿ci¿ w oczach Boga. Jeste¿my wzmocnieni nadziej¿, a jednak zamkni¿ci w granicach wyznaczonych dla nas nadziej¿ i wiar¿; jeste¿my "wi¿¿niami nadziei", w zniewalaj¿cym wyräeniu autora Fortune Nwaiwu. W tej dobrze przygotowanej powie¿ci Fortune E.C. Nwaiwu opowiada o ostatnich dniach szanowanego Starszego Leviego, cz¿owieka, którego wiara zainspirowäa wielu z jego wspó¿braci - cz¿owieka skazanego na przedwczesn¿ ¿mier¿ z powodu raka p¿uc i zapalenia p¿uc, prawdopodobnie spowodowan¿ jego nawykami palenia. W ostatnich dniach ¿ycia Leviego wiele si¿ wydarzy¿o, w tym wykorzystywanie seksualne bogobojnej kobiety, tworzenie i ¿amanie planów mä¿e¿stwa oraz strzelanina mi¿dzy policj¿ a kilkoma morderczymi porywaczami. W ko¿cu, m¿dro¿¿ jej rodziców zostaje potwierdzona dla jednego z g¿ównych bohaterów. Fortune Nwaiwu pisze m¿drze. Ciesz¿ si¿, ¿e udäo mi si¿ zredagowä jego ksi¿¿k¿ tak, aby pasowäa do formatu oczekiwanego przez amerykäskich czytelników, który mam nadziej¿ b¿dzie atrakcyjny dla innych na cäym ¿wiecie.

The Whispering Hope: A Compendium of sermons is a collection of inspiring messages, the man of God, Pastor F.E.C. Nwaiwu, has preaching. Przedstawiaj¿ one wo¿anie serca, jego pragnienia i wizj¿ nie tylko jego zgromadzenia, ale i Ciäa Chrystusa. By¿ mo¿e przemawiä do konkretnego zgromadzenia, ale przes¿ania te maj¿ charakter globalny. Wzorzec Bo¿y dla danego zgromadzenia jest dzi¿ typowy, ale i uniwersalny. Kiedy proboszcz Nwaiwu nazywa ten zbiór Szeptuj¿cej Nadziei, ma na my¿li nadziej¿ w Bogu na rozwi¿zanie ró¿nych odcieni problemu - czy to duchowego, spo¿ecznego, ekonomicznego, czy jakiegokolwiek innego - nadzieja w Chrystusie mo¿e nie by¿ krzykiem, wo¿aniem do s¿uchania. Ale nadzieja jest w Chrystusie, wi¿c wiara w Niego jest lekarstwem na wszystkie takie problemy. A wiara w Chrystusa przemienia, wzmacnia, regeneruje i przygotowuje chrze¿cijan do ¿ycia wiecznego w Królestwie Bo¿ym. Te przyziemne, po prostu dostarczane wiadomo¿ci, przes¿ania pozbawione pretensji, mog¿ przemieni¿ zatwardziäego grzesznika, o¿ywi¿ mdlej¿cego chrze¿cijanina i zaapelowä do cynika.

The Whispering Hope : A Compendium of sermons est un recueil de messages inspirants, que l'homme de Dieu, le pasteur F.E.C. Nwaiwu, a prêché. Ils représentent le cri du c¿ur, ses désirs et sa vision non seulement pour sa congrégation, mais aussi pour le corps du Christ. Il s'est peut-être adressé à une congrégation particulière, mais les messages sont mondiaux. La norme de Dieu pour une congrégation particulière est typique aujourd'hui, mais aussi universelle. Lorsque le pasteur Nwaiwu appelle cette collection de "Whispering Hope", il veut dire que l'espérance en Dieu pour les solutions aux différentes nuances de problèmes - qu'ils soient spirituels, sociaux, économiques ou autres, l'espérance en Christ peut ne pas être de crier, de pleurer pour être entendu. Mais l'espoir est en Christ ; la foi en lui est donc le remède à tous ces problèmes. Et la foi en Christ transforme, renforce, régénère et prépare les chrétiens à la vie éternelle dans le royaume de Dieu. Ces messages terre-à-terre, simplement délivrés, des messages dénués de prétentions, peuvent transformer un pécheur endurci, revigorer un chrétien évanoui et faire appel à un cynique.
