Abstract

This paper examines the intersection of cultural revitalization, religious politics, and resistance in the works of two prominent Nigerian figures: Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Bishop Matthew Kukah. Through his music, rituals, and symbolic shrine, Fela championed the revival of African Indigenous Religion, resisting the dominance of foreign faiths, particularly Christianity and Islam, while challenging political corruption and social injustice. In contrast, Bishop Kukah, a Christian cleric, has consistently used his platform to critique political injustice, advocate for freedom and rights, and combat religious hypocrisy. Despite their differing methods – Fela's use of music for cultural and religious revival and Kukah's reliance on the pulpit and public discourse – both figures have sought to combat neocolonial subjugation and promote African self-emancipation. This study provides insights into the complex interplay between religion, politics, and cultural identity in contemporary Nigerian society by comparing and contrasting their approaches.

Abstract

Since the division of the Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) Church in 1929, there has not been a single leader of all the factional bodies. Over the years, many attempts have been made in order to bring about a unified C&S church that would involve all the many factional bodies, which have also failed. Not until the 1980s when some group of students in higher institution came together to form a unified C&S church that will comprised of all the factional bodies. The quest for the oneness of all members of the church regardless of factions was what led to the establishment of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Campus Fellowship. Thus, using data collected through participant observation and secondary sources, the study focused on the beginning, growth, spread and the various practices that had led to the unification of members of the C&S Church in the higher institutions, with particular focus on the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church, Obafemi Awolowo University Campus Fellowship. It also assessed the impact of the unity on the fellowship and the society at large. The study found out that despite the many divisions in the C&S church at large, there is unity with regards to campus fellowships, especially the Obafemi Awolowo University Campus Fellowship from whom other branches emanated. The data collected were analysed using socio-historical and descriptive phenomenological approaches.
