Nairaland / General / Edo Declares Thursday A Public Holiday For Coronation Of The Crown Prince by ajeleolowo: 4:11am On Oct 19, 2016
The Edo Government has declared Oct. 20 as public holiday in celebration of the coronation of the new Oba of Benin, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa.

Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, the Secretary to the State Government, said in a statement on Tuesday in Benin that the public holiday is in honour of Erediauwa, who will be crowned the 39th Oba of Benin.

According to the statement, the public holiday would ensure a hitch-free coronation and give Edo people the opportunity to partake in the historic installation of the new Oba of Benin.

The events leading to the coronation ceremony commenced on Nov. 8 and the state capital had been agog with preparations and activities for the coronation.

History has it that the title of Oba in Benin Empire was created by Oba Eweka I, the Benin Empire’s first ‘Oba’, said to have ascended power between 1180 and 1300.

The Oba of Benin, then, was the Head of State (Emperor) of the Benin Empire untila the British annexed the Empire in 1897.

Prince Ehenede Erediauwa on Tuesday chose his coronation name after defeating Edigin N’Use in the traditional Akhue game( marble seeds).

Erediauwa, will however, officially announce his name during his coronation on Thursday at Urho-Okpota in Benin.

The crown prince entered the shrine at the Edigin’s Palace, after playing the game of Akhue with HRH Kelvin Ekpe Edigin, the Edigin N’ Use and thereafter chose his coronation name.

Abieyuwa Edigin, a highly placed family member in the Edigin Palace told NAN that the Akhue game was the climax of all the coronation ceremonies.

He said the Akhue game was cultural and traditional requirements that must be fufilled by the crown prince before he could be crowned as Oba.

Abieyuwa explained that the former Oba also played the Akhue game with Kelvin’s father, Robert Edigin, before choosing the name “Erediauwa’’( I have come to strengthen and prosper my people) .

He said the tradition started in 1200 AD during the period of Oba Eweka, whose maternal grand-father, Ogie-Egor, lived in the nearby village of Egor, in the present Egor Local Government Area of Edo.

According to him, when Prince Oromiyan left Benin, he left his pregnant wife in the care of her father the Ogie (Duke) of Egor.

He said Oromiyan’s wife delivered a male child who was dumb from birth and was sent to the maternal grand-father at ‘Use’ for treatment.

“But as the child could still not talk after, words were sent to his father at Uhe, who then sent seven magical Akhue with which the dumb prince participated in the popular village game known as Akhue.

“And with only one seed remaining on the ground after every other player had failed to strike it, the young prince used the magical Akhue from his father and struck the last seed. “In his excitement, he spoke for the first time and exclaimed the word `Owomika’ (my hand has struck it) later corrupted to Eweka,’’ he said

She has become one of the most recognisable faces on Premier League benches, the woman doctor who Chelsea have relied upon to treat their injured players.

But in the space of only four days, Eva Carneiro’s relationship with Jose Mourinho has deteriorated so badly that we may not see her again.

On Saturday, Carneiro and her colleague Jon Fearn angered the Chelsea manager by rushing on to the pitch to tend to Eden Hazard near the end of the 2-2 draw with Swansea

Romance / Another 3 Persons Die After Drinking Ethanol “ogogoro” In Ondo State. Seller Fle by ajeleolowo: 9:18pm On May 14, 2015
Investigators and officers from Ondo State Police Command are working round the clock to unravel the mysterious death of three persons after consuming a local gin, popularly known as ogogoro at Oka Motor Park in Ondo town, Ondo State.


This is coming as the state government said last week that it had curtailed the outbreak of a strange disease which caused the death of 23 persons at Irele area of the state.

The government said the 23 who died at Irele consumed poisonous ethanol and banned the consumption of ogogoro across the state.

Vanguard gathered that the deceased persons in this latest incident included a member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, in the park, an electrician and another person working in the motor park.

It was learned that the three persons consumed the local gin at the park and immediately complained of stomach upset. Other members of the union reportedly applied local herbs to calm them down, but they soon became unconscious.

An eyewitness said they died before they could be rushed to a nearby hospital in the town, adding that the deaths were mysterious as other members of the union usually drank the same ogogoro.

Health / 12 Things You Didn’t Know About The Ebola Virus Disease by ajeleolowo: 10:34am On Aug 10, 2014
What is Ebola Virus?


Ebola virus disease (also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever), along with being one of mankind’s deadliest diseases, is also one of its most brutal. It causes extreme body aches, high fever, profuse vomiting, diarrhea and heavy internal and external bleeding, sometimes through body orifices and the pores of the skin. It is caused by a virus known as Ebola virus which was first identified in 1976.


Symptoms can manifest themselves between two and 21 days after exposure and usually begin with headaches and fever. There is no cure for the disease, which has been fatal in up to 90 percent of patients during some outbreaks, though the current outbreak has killed about 60 percent of those so far infected.


According the the World Health Organization, treatments include managing the patient’s fluids and electrolytes, as well as blood pressure and kidney function, all of which are in jeopardy as the infected bleed out of organs and even blood vessels.


Some Key Facts About Ebola Recently, the US Embassy put out a circular concerning Ebola which includes how to recognise it and how to prevent yourself from getting infected. Below are some of the key points of that circular


1) The suspected reservoirs for Ebola are fruit bats.


2) Transmission to humans is thought to originate from infected bats or primates that have become infected by bats.


3) Undercooked infected bat and primate (bush) meat transmits the virus to humans.


4) Human to human transmission is only achieved by physical contact with a person who is acutely and gravely ill from the Ebola virus or their body fluids.


5) Transmission among humans is almost exclusively among caregiver family members or health care workers tending to the very ill.


6) The virus is easily killed by contact with soap, bleach, sunlight, or drying. A washing machine will kill the virus in clothing saturated with infected body fluids.

This is serious, people can be very. Let me not say anything bad this morning. A Pastor in South Africa, Pastor Lesego Daniel makes his members to eat grass.

Pastor Lesego Daniel is the founder and Head Pastor of Rabboni Centre Ministries in Garankuwa TUT campus at Pretoria, and he said he was trying to prove that humans can be controlled by the spirit and they can eat anything to feed their bodies. I still wonder how he manage to convince his members to do this…

Entertainment / Jim Lyke Arrested In Ghana by ajeleolowo: 11:47pm On Dec 20, 2013
Nollywood actor, Jim Lyke, may have just returned to his old ways of being in the news for the wrong reasons. Jim was reportedly arrested in Ghana after being involved in a public fight. According to Ghanaian media reports, the event took place at the Crave Cafe at Adiringanor, East Legon, Accra, Ghana. Going by what the eyewitness said, the Nigerian actor who relocated to Ghana after his alleged ‘deliverance’ by Prophet TB Joshua, arrived at the cafe in a sport Chevy car to meet with another Nigerian who simply arrived earlier in a Range Rover, apparently to wait for Jim. Report also have it that the meeting became heated as Jim lyke and his friend argued back and forth over an alleged $10,000 and the argument later turned nasty which resulted in a fight that spilled into the street, hmm. It was gathered that as the fight raged on, Jim lyke entered his car and was about pulling out something suspected to be gun, when he was just prevented by the gathering crowd, while the other guy simply dashed off in his car only to come back with some policemen who arrested Jim lyke and took him away. Jim lyke returned to the cafe barely just twenty minutes later, giving the impression that the case had been resolved by the policemen. - See more at: http://naijaparrot.com/jim-lyke-arrested-in-ghana/
