Abstract
This work aims at discovering the inimical acts of crude oil
exploitation in the Niger Delta region as portrayed through select poems
in the anthologies of Yeibo and Ikiriko respectively. The main
objectives of this study is to discover the “paradox” of the location
of the oil wealth region in the nation being the poorest and most
marginalised region, it also seeks to project through the unique poetic
tradition of the Niger Deltans the social, economic, political, and
environmental issues encountered by the aborigines; this it does using
the works of two prominent eco-poets from the region, Ebi Yeibo and
Ibiwari Ikiriko. This work adopts the theoretical framework of
eco-criticism, which is a contemporary and interdisciplinary theory
that examines the human and non-human elements of the environment and
goes beyond the environment to protest the infringement on the rights
of the people in the society. This work has come to discover that
eco-criticism as a literary approach through the genre of poetry
advocates the rights and privileges of the people and is a means to
curbing the situation of the crude oil exploitation and struggle. This
work thus submits that the poetry of the aforementioned poets has
successfully portrayed these issues through eco-criticism and their
socio-political views. This work is significant as it is of benefit to
literary students’ with interest in ecological studies, pastoral
literature and to students of environmental studies.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
Background to the Study
It is a well known fact that the Niger Delta region of the
nation is indeed the country’s wealth and source of her economic
buoyancy. This situation cannot be generally laudable as the region
which has the oil-wealth resources remains the most marginalised and
poorest in the Nigerian federation. This reflects the paradoxical
situation in which the Niger Delta finds herself.
Ebi yeibo in The forbidden tongue and Ibiwari Ikiriko in Oily tears of the delta depict
poetically, the ill-situation of the Niger Delta environment. One can
observe this paradoxical condition through the symbols, imagery, and
other poetic features employed by the writers’. Yeibo and Ikiriko have
been able to achieve an ideal reflection of these paradoxical issues in
their literary collections.
This research work uses eco-criticism as a theory to examine
the poetic views of Yeibo and Ikiriko, showing that their views are a
veritable tool for socio-political and economic change in the society.
