ABSTRACT

The uniqueness of Africa is not because of its geographical location, but because of its diverse rich cultural heritage which surround the entire spectrum of human learning, reasoning and communication. This research work is centered on the effects of folktales as a satirical weapon for curbing social ills and inculcation of moral values: analysis of some selected Jukun folktales. It is important to the Jukun societies, and through stories, the Jukuns have communicated their ideas, fears, anxieties, pride, norms, values, virtues and vices. All of these experience, of course are subjective or emotional, yet are capable of being literarily represented through satire. It asserts that, since people easily and readily relate with what they are familiar with, the need for adapting the Jukun folktales and its intrinsic values to the Jukun communities and the world at large cannot be over-emphasized. The artistic of socio-cultural and moral significance of the folktales is also handled. The study consists of five chapters. The first chapter provides a general background of the study by discussing folktales, satire, folktales as oral performance and satire as a weapon for curbing social ills. It also gives a background about the Jukun people and their folktales which constitutes part of their culture. The second chapter focuses on review of related literature in accordance with the research topic. Consequently, the Functionalist Approach is used as theoretical framework, and the Afrocentric and Eurocentric approach is also used. The third chapter is concerned with the thematic analysis of the selected Jukun folktales. The fourth chapter discusses the socio-cultural and moral significance of selected Jukun folktales. The fifth chapter provides a concluding remarks, summary and also gives recommendation based on the findings of the study. To be more specific, the study deals with the effects of folktales as a satirical weapon for curbing social ills and inculcation of moral values as experienced by the Jukun people, and depicted in the texts under study.
