I have a question, does isese mean WORK IS DONE ? DDDDD
It means 'The ORIGIN of Customs'
Ìsẹ̀ [from the verb 'sẹ̀' which means to birth or originate] = origin

'ṣe [from the noun 'ìṣe' which means practice, culture, customs, tradition, behavior] = customs

Iṣẹṣe is the origin of our culture, customs, tradition, and practices
CultureAṣọ Òkè Documentation by Nigeriakan(op): 9:12pm On Jun 25, 2025
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒎𝒔
One of the most essential tools in weaving is the loom—the device on which fabrics are woven. Among Yorùbá weavers, the looms in use are generally either vertical or horizontal, each suited to different styles and traditions of weaving.

1. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦
The vertical or upright loom is used for weaving broad cloths that can be up to 25 inches wide—or even wider. This type of loom has only one heddle (Yorùbá: ọ𝘮ú 𝘢ṣọ), which helps in separating and lifting threads during weaving. (Don’t worry, I’ll explain more of these terms shortly.)

This loom is primarily operated by women weavers, and it is especially common among the Ọ̀wọ̀ people of Òndó State. In fact, during the course of this documentation, I have not encountered any male weavers who specialize in this kind of loom. However, both nale and female Ebira weavers in Ìbàdàn use this kind of loom.

Traditionally, the cloths produced on this women's upright loom were called 𝐤𝐢𝐣𝐢𝐩𝐚 [kíjìpá]. These cloths were once considered inferior to 𝐨𝐟𝐢 [òfì], the more highly regarded narrow-strip cloths woven mostly by men using the horizontal loom.

EducationAppeal For Help In Securing A Visitor Visa To Attend A Workshop In The UK by Nigeriakan(op): 4:02pm On Aug 07, 2024
I am a graduate student at a federal university. I applied for a grant at the British Museum and my application was approved. I was asked to attend a mandatory workshop in the UK early September.

I struggled here and there to gather the money to apply for a Nigerian passport and a visitor visa last month. Unfortunately, the Visa application was refused. I received the sad email yesterday, and since then I've been feeling too bad. One reason for the refusal was a doubt on my credibility, with a hint that I might not want to return to Nigeria after the one-week training. Sincerely, I have no such plan.

Now, I'd like to apply a second time, by next week. But the issue is, I'd spent much of my savings on the first application. I do not have enough money to apply again.

I want to appeal to good-hearted Nairaland members to please assist a brother in need with any amount. Thank you.

Also, if anyone knows how I can secure the visa, please help me.

Thank you.

Don't know why some Nigerians are wicked.

A Hausa okada rider mistakenly transfered 8k to my Opay account a few weeks ago. He called to tell me and I sent it back to him.

In fact I had to download Opay again coz I'd not used it for months.

It's a mistake anyone can make. Let's not do something we won't want others to do to us.

do Muslims and Christians stop people from coming during their own holidays? Thing reasonably for once
They do worse. They incite violence with their songs and dance around town. Muslims block roads on Fridays for Jumat prayers. Christians speakers that disturb a whole community on Sundays.

Sundays are holidays and Fridays are mini holidays.

If anyone needs a reasonable thinking here, it's definitely you.
