Description
This unit is an introductory course whose main aim is to broaden your
understanding and perspective of oral literature through studying the oral literature
of your community and that of other East African communities. I am aware that,
by now, most of you are exposed to some oral literature both through formal
education and also through contact with the material as is practiced and performed
within your own communities. However, I am also aware that due to various
influences, students are not able to fully appreciate the multidimensionality of the
oral literature discipline and more so its significance in literary studies. This course
is thus designed so that your understanding of the subject becomes broadened and
that you are able to appreciate: (a), the place of oral literature within the wider
literary studies and African literature in particular. Oral literature needs to be
recognised as a unique form of literary expression, exhibiting imaginative and
creative dimensions that enrich the study of African literature; (b) the place of oral
literature within the rich heritage of the African Oral traditions; (c) the place of
oral literature in the rediscovery of African cultural heritage eclipsed by
unfavorable historical circumstances and (d) the place of oral literature within the
Contemporary written African literary tradition

GUIDE OF THE FATHERS OF THE NATIONS

The title is relevant and apt for it is satirizes the situation in contemporary Africa. Fathers d Nations is a honorific title given to a person considered the driving force behind the establishment of a country, state or nation. These are figures in the African context who once helped drive away the colonial regime and helped their countries gain self-rule under their leadership. In the contemporary sense, fathers of nations are basically the heads of states and governments: presidents.

GENERAL APPLICATION OF ICT
ICT Application in Everyday Life
ICT is an acronym for Information Communication Technology. It covers all forms of
computer and communication equipment and software used to create, design, store,
transmit, interpret and manipulate information in its various formats. Examples of ICT
TOOLS are laptops, tablets, network technologies, mobile phones and so on as well
as the various services and applications associated with them such as video
conferencing, telecomputing and so on.
ICT APPLICATIONS
E-LEARNING: ICT can contribute to achieving universal education worldwide, through
the delivery of education and training of teachers and offering improved conditions for
long life learning, encompassing people that are outside the formal education process
and improving professional skills.
Benefits
• Develop domestic policies to ensure that ICTs are fully integrated in education
and training at all levels.
• Promote e-literacy skills for all, for example by taking advantage of existing
facilities such as libraries and so on.
• Develop distance learning, training and other forms of education as part of
capacity building programmes.
• Help to train users to develop self-learning and self-development capacities.
E-BUSINESS
• Better Customer Service: E-business has improved customer service. Many a
time on visiting a website, the customer is greeted by a pop-up chat window.
Readily available customer service may help in encouraging the customer to
know about the product or services.
• Reduces Transaction Cost: Websites are sufficiently loaded with directions to
facilitate stress free transactions. The mode of payments is predetermined,
promising security to the customer. All you are left with, as the proprietor of your
online business, is to download the requirement order and ship it.
• Flexible Business Hours: E-business breaks down the time barriers that locationbased businesses encounter, because the internet is available 24hrs a day.

HEE 2219: PRINCIPLES OF ENTREPRENEURIAL FINANCE
Trending!
Entrepreneurial Finance consists of knowing how to identify, develop and implement the appropriate financial strategies required to create and operate a new venture or significantly expand an existing enterprise. While Entrepreneurial Finance is useful primarily to new venture decision makers, it can be applied by an enterprising person or group that seeks to comprehend the financial implications of some action they are considering.
Entrepreneurial Finance is not Corporate Finance. Corporate finance is taught in most business schools, but it is largely irrelevant to most entrepreneurs.
