INTRODUCTION

Generally, the definition and meaning of culture are broad; these may include values, beliefs, texts, about the beliefs and ideas, multiple daily practices, aesthetic forms, systems of communications, (e.g Languages), institutions of society, a variety of experiences that capture African's way of life, a metaphor to express political and economic changes. The article on African culture is well researched and articulated. Therefore, will prove relevant to information seekers and researchers.

However, it is significant to state that, the culture of African people varies and its well encompassing as it relates to their languages, food, dressing, hairstyles, farming activities or vocations, traditions, beliefs, religions etc. Culture is a dynamic process and Africans have had to deal with the multiple changes and their outcomes; culture is an agency of power There is also the need to emphasize that, few hundreds and possibly thousands of many African cultures are not being documented. For example, some African culture, local dialects and languages, beliefs and traditions are soon going into extinction. As such, more African cultures and indigenous knowledge should be passed down from one generation to the next. This can be achieved through folklores, storytelling, music, oral information and archives.

Mrs Beatrice Chigozili Ekwueme, nee Beatrice Nwajagu, was born on July 3, 1934. She attended St. Cyprians Secondary School, port Harcourt and Crowther Memorial Girls Secondary School, Elelewon, Port Harcourt. She also attended United Missionary College (UMC) Ibadan, before she went further to study at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She obtained her Master’s Degree from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. She acted as First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria between October 1,1979 and December 31, 1983.

Moji Danisa Jemegbe popularly known as the queen of junk journalism, started her career as news trainee in the Nigerian Television Authority NTA Benin City, after her Higher School Certificate in 1982. Thereafter, she became a News/Program Presenter alongside her duties as an Editorial. She quickly rose to the position of Sub-Editor. In 1985, Moji gained an admission at the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ) to read Theatre Arts. Such was her determination to become a journalist. At NIJ, she was one of the brightest students and upon her graduation she won the Alade Odenewu prize in editorial writing. She was the only woman to achieve that feat in the history NIJ at that time.

VICTORIA NWOGU

Victoria Nwogu is a Nigerian Lawyer, UN Diplomat, Law Professor and lover of African fashion. She has worked and lived in Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Somalia, New York and Sudan. Her experience with being acknowledged for wearing “African fashion” everywhere she travelled led to her decision in 2018 to wear exclusively Ankara print or African fashion to all formal events and led to the birth of “Ankara Republic” a Facebook group she founded in October 2018. The group is now almost 27,000 members strong with an active presence on Instagram as well. Ultimately, in 2019, Victoria revived tailoring and design skills she learnt as a teenager and now makes almost all her own clothes and some for friends. Victoria is married with three children ranging from young adult to teenage. She spends her time between Sudan, Kenya, Lagos and New York. She is an avid reader, an author of a fitness book (published in 2017) and loves to dance with the hula hoop.

QUEEN IDIA

Queen Idia was the queen mother of Esigie the Oba of Benin, and was born in the year 1504-1550. She was one of the Nigerian greatest female warriors. Queen Idia paved the way for many Nigerian women to participate in decision making about political issues. She was instrumental to the ascension of her son to his father's throne at the end of the pronouncement of the battle, which she played a significant role in attaining victory.
