“…The objectives of the club are to promote African culture and foster friendship among youths of institutions of higher learning. Official engagements are characterized by joyful exuberant singing, drumming, and dancing, in which the only alcoholic drink allowed is palm wine, with strict rules to prevent intoxication (Ohaeri et al 1996).…”

“…Similarly, Ohaeri et al (1996) examined how the ideals of the Kegites' club are reflected in the general and drinking behavior of members, highlighting the elements of these ideals and behavior that can be of use in preventive drug education among youths in Nigerian institutions of higher learning. They focused mainly on the university of Ibadan (southern Nigeria) and university of Jos (northern Nigeria).…”

This is a study of how the oral aesthetics of textual production by a group, the Kegites, are used in the construction of an identity rooted in a collective context that reflects a socio-political engagement with the complex social histories of the Yorùbá society and Nigeria at large. The study identifies common practices of the Kegites and themes of the texts of their songs. It shows the practice of engagement by the Kegites through which identity can be textually constructed in ways that politicize self-representation and challenge discourses grounded in the colonial and postcolonial histories of the Yorùbá people. Through the discussion of themes such as ancestral presence, the aesthetics of orature, and the political significance of group or society (ẹgbé) ̣ among the Yorùbá, the paper seeks to showcase the presence of a characteristic of Yorùbá oral literature in which personal, cultural, economic, social and political issues become inseparable. It demonstrates how oral text reflects societal elements and performers use various societal elements to create an expression of an identity within the multiple currents and traditions by taking the rules, creativity, and artistry of self-representation and shaping them with cultural content, as well as with the rhythms and speech patterns of the Yorùbá people.

“…However, same cannot be asserted in our country. Although some significant research has been undertaken in Nigeria with regard to Alcoholism in its broad sense [9,10,11,12], a search of literature revealed a dearth of research in co-morbidity of Alcohol Use Disorders and Depression among general hospital out-patients. Some studies have looked at how AUD and depression affects both genders [13,14].…”

The study was designed to ascertain the socio-demographic profiles of patients suffering from co-morbid Alcohol Use Disorders and Depression, attending the General outpatient Clinic of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. Consenting subjects recruited by a systematic sampling procedure between February and July 2011 were enlisted in the study. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) were administered to each. Additional information was obtained through a self-designed socio-demographic questionnaire. Fifty nine (12.6%) of the cohort were diagnosed with Alcohol Use disorders (AUD), one hundred and thirty four (28.5%) with major depression and twenty seven (5.7%) with both AUD and major depression. The female and male genders were shown to be significantly associated with co-morbid depression and AUD respectively. The notion that women alcoholics are more vulnerable to drink in response to negative effect than male alcoholics may further explain the statistically significant higher prevalence of depression among females with AUD in comparison to males with the same co-morbidity. Formal education should be intensified in the developing world, and the need to protect the vulnerable segment of our population especially women cannot be overemphasized.

“…Unfortunately in spite of WHO warnings on the multiple negative health consequences of Alcohol which is on the increase, most of the studies done in Nigeria have to a large extent concentrated on prevalence rates of alcohol without exploring the socio-demographic factors associated with this malady [11][12][13]. Worse still, most of the studies were done in Western Nigeria.…”

Objective: To study the epidemiology of alcohol use disorders (AUD) among psychiatric patients attending a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.Methods: Via a systematic sampling method, 470 consenting subjects were selected. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) were administered to each participant. One hundred and eighty five subjects had a score of at least 5 on the AUDIT or 18 on the BDI; and hence proceeded to the next stage of the study. Results:The prevalence of AUD was higher in males than females; as well as in Christians more than members of other religious persuasion represented in this study and the differences were statistically significant. The other socio-demographic variables examined were not significantly associated with alcohol use disorder. Conclusion:The negative health effects of Alcohol are well documented. The rising tide of alcohol use disorders with their attendant cascade of consequences remain a growing challenge to all societies; most especially the future generation.
