History Of The Four Market Days In Igbo Land And How It Started. Market days in Igbo land are very significant so much so that the four market days I mentioned above are uniformly observed within every community in Igbo land. It was during the reign of Eze Nrijiofor I (1300-1390AD), the fifth Eze Nri in the line of succession that the Igbo tradition of four market days was instituted. According to Igbo historical records, one day during the reign of Eze Nrijiofor I, four wise strangers came to visit him at his palace. When they arrived, these four men pretended to be deaf and dumb. They did not say their names or their mission to Nri kingdom. They were welcomed by the king of Nri. When it's about to get to get dark, one of the servants in the palace, who is under the instructions of the king lead them to the visitors chambers , where they will probably pass the night... Later the king of nri with his kolanuts went to their chambers for discussion but the visitors didn't utter a word nor accepted his kolanuts. The king out of curiosity consulted his native doctors,who derived a way of getting the names of the said visitors. While they were at sleep,the native doctor sent a rat to the visitors chambers and when the rat got to one of the basket belonging to Eke, Orie who was still awake, unconsciously called Eke with the intention to tell him about the rat without knowing that he has revealed the name of his brother, this continued until all their names was unveiled that night. In the morning, the king went to their chambers, and as usual they pretended to be deaf and dump but the king after breaking kolanuts called them by their names. They were astonished as how the king would probably know their names. However they accepted the kolanuts and. After chewing the oji, they gave the King ite ano (four earthen pots) and directed him to keep the pots in front of the Nri Menri shrine outside the obu (palace) with each pots facing the sun. Eke, who was the spokesman of the visiting wise strangers, told Eze Nrijiofor I that the first pot was owned by him, Eke, the second one by Orie, the third by Afor and the last by Nkwo. He told the Eze that the four pots were sent down from Chukwu (God Almighty.) He instructed Eze Nrijiofor I that he and his people whom he ruled should be observing those names daily as market days, during which they should be buying and selling. These market days are used in Igboland to count Izu (Igbo native week). Therefore, Eke, Orie, Afor and Nkwo (four market days) make one Izu (week) in Igbo calendar. Eke later instructed the king to name every igbo child after the four market That is why we have igbo names as Okeke or Eke, Okorie, Okafor or Nwafor, and Okonkwo or Nwankwo. In the same order, female children should be given “Mgbeke’, ‘Mgborie’, ‘Mgbafor’ and ‘Mgbankwo’. Still practiced today.

#ON_THE_SIXTH_YEAR_REMEMBRANCE_OF_THE #DEATH_OF_MY_FATHER_CHIEF_KALU_UKO_KALU (A.K.A. Cartoon) Alias Sam Uko) Dear father, it is exactly six years you left us in this world, for the world beyond. Your life was a life full of examples, and fellow mankind. Till date, you are missed by everyone who ever came in contact with you. I’m consoled by the fact that your name remains indelible in this world, and in the hearts of us all. I have no idea what you are doing or where you are reborn. Six long years have passed by since you left this world but I still often find myself missing you badly here on Earth. 28th December 2012 was a very sad day in my life. I had never thought that you would leave me so soon. You know we had a lot of dreams at hand yet to be materialized. The kind of world we had imagined to live in but what an untimely tragedy befell us. It’s very sad that I had to let you go even before I was able to pay you back for everything you did for me as a father, protector and teacher. I woke up at 6 o’clock that morning in search of my daddy arrival from Lagos to Nkporo but to be faced with the sad news of your death. It’s been a long six years without you. As I observe this day in silence, the pain of that fateful day seems to have come back to surface once again. I am very sorry, father, that I could not be there beside you when you were fighting for life on that morning. I am sorry that I could not answer you when you called out my name several times before you left. It’s my greatest regret that I could not even serve you a cup of water when you needed it most. Today, I feel lonely and sad without you in my family. I wish if you were still alive to play with your grandchildren, tell them bed-time stories as you used to tell me when I was a boy, and teach them good values as you did to me before. But it’s sad that none of them could ever get a chance to hold your hands, sit on your laps and listen to your stories or play with you like their other friends who still have their grandfather. Despite all the differences and difficult times we passed through, you had been my greatest teacher, protector and a loving father. I have learned a great deal from you and I am always grateful for your sacrifices and compromises for me. You helped me shape my world and gave me strengths to stand on my own feet. You guided me whenever I tumbled upon some problems and you showed me the right path of life. You had been my main source of inspiration, courage and social security. You taught me how to compete with others and you taught me why and how to excel in studies. You also taught me many other things which I might have not been able to explore myself. So although you are dead and gone, father, the values and knowledge you have given me still flow in my blood and I will try to pass them on to your grandchildren too. We, as a family, are doing everything that could make you proud. Your rich legacies shall never die. I miss you so much, Dad, and I love you. Continue to Rest in Peace. You will forever be remembered by everyone of us in your family, brothers, friends and the entire lives you touched. You remain forever fresh in our minds. Rest on Daddy. Rest on Daddy. Rest On. May God reunite us once again someday on a new journey. Amen!

A salesman rings the door bell and Little Johnny answers. Salesman: "Can I see your dad?" Johnny: "No, he's in the shower." Salesman: "What about your mother? Can I see her?" Johnny: "Nope. She's in the shower, too." Salesman: "Do you think they'll be out soon?" Johnny: "Doubt it. When my dad asked me for the Vaseline, I gave him super glue instead." |
