You work hard and strive to do good deeds it will surely come with good fortune, either today or tomorrow.

Oh professor. We join the whole electorates of the Faculty of Arts, UNIZIK, to congratulate you on this NEW CAP wishing you more grace and strength as we wrap it up with a prophecy from Bob Marley-WHO THE CAP FITS

“Man to man is so unjust, children
Ya don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could beee your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy

Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind dem su-su(gossip) pon(upon) you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
And who the cap fit, let them wear it [repeat]
Said I throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I saying, "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Some will hate you, pretend they love you now
Then behind they try to e-li-min-ate you
But who Jah bless,no one curse
Then God will past the worse

Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people would run away
And who the cap fit let them wear it [repeat]

And then a gonna throw me corn
And then a gonna call no fowl
And then a gonna "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Some will eat and drink with you
And then behind they su-su pon you
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people will run away
Who the cap fit, let them wear it [repeat]
Throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I saying "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Bdddddddddddddat big ups to JAH”

The message is clear. Ahoy!

BRIEF EXPOSITION OF OTITE ANAM

By
OTITE ANAM Igbo folklore is of the opinion that Yam was a gift from Chukwu – God Almighty to Eze Nri as reward for his solving the riddle of the Igbo market days. Yam, variously regarded as the king of crops or the symbol of wealth in Igbo cosmology occupies an enviable place in Igbo socio-cultural as well as economic life. Thus in the Anambra River basin areas, the highest title a man can aspire to take is Oba – Yam king. Indeed, so central is yam to Igbo socio-cultural life that almost all Igbo communities celebrate the new yam festival. In Anam, the new yam festival is called Otite and it is usually celebrated in the month of August every year. It is during the Otite that Anamites thank their Gods for granting them a bountiful harvest. Otite is usually fixed by the ruling age grade in Anam – Okpokolo and it is they who meet to examine the Igbo lunar calendar so as to ensure that Otite holds on the sacred market day of Eke.  Every titled man is expected to sacrif...
