The Influence of Economic Status on the Reading Preferences of Nigerian Primary Pupils
(1991) Lasisi, Monica; Adeyanju, ‘Lade
Conclusive evidence that socio-economic status, among other factors, affects the book choices of young readers has so far eluded reading comprehension researchers. Thus, the quest still goes on for a statistically valid instrument that may be used as a measure of reading preferences. Through such investigation, an accurate reading interest scale might be provided. Accordingly, the present study sets out to determine the effect of social status on the book selections of children while employing a non-verbal test instrument in the form of pictures.

Jimoh Buraimoh's Bead Painting
(1989) Adeyanju, ‘Lade
Jimoh Buraimoh was born into a moslem family in Osogbo, Oyo State in 1943. His contribution to the field of African art can be described as creatively original. The media he is associated with is bead painting, which he evolved as early as 1967, twenty four years after he was born. Buraimoh started his life humbly as an electrician, trained in stage lighting at the Arts Theatre in Ibadan and joined Late Duro Laipo's National Theatre as stage light technician in 1964.
