Ezhionum Kingdom is one of the communities that make up Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State.

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
The geographical location of Ezhionum can be explained throughthe physical boundaries it shares with other communities. In the north, Ezhionum is bounded by Amai; in the south by Abbi, In the east by Ogume and in the west by Aragba.

POPULATION DENSITY
According to the projected census figure of 1991, Ezhionum has a population density of about 15,240 people comprising of 8,000 females and 7,240 males.

TRADITIONAL SET UP
Ezhionum is traditionally made up of three (3) quarters namely: Aweka, Ogbe-Nami and Ogbe-Ofu. The three quarters consist of twelve (12) families with five (5) in Aweka, three (3) in Ogbe-Nami and four (4) in Ogbe-Ofu quarters.

OCCUPATION
The geographical location of Ezhionum places it in the tropical rain forest which makes the people completely agrarian by occupation. The crops cultivated for both subsistence and trading with neighboring communities include yams, cassava, maize, melon, pepper, groundnut, beans and plantain. The cash crops cultivated include rubber, palm-oil, kola-nuts, etc.

THE HISTORICAL ORIGIN OF EZHIONUM
Different historical sources and varying accounts of the elders were sought by the writers with a view of gathering some historical facts and finally presenting a summerized and streamlined historical origin of Ezhionum.

One of the accounts has it that the great grandfather of the founder of Ezhionum community and some other people originally settled in Benin. But due to incessant wars in the Benin empire, they left Benin and settled at Asaba near the western bank of the River Niger at about 1500 AD.

However, at the 1600 AD, war broke out in Asaba over who becomes the king of Asaba and the faction to which the grandfather of Ezhionum belonged ran to ask for the help of Benin w warriors who responded quickly but did not see their opponents who had hidden themselves inside an anthill. Most unfortunately, the invited Benin warriors started killing the faction that invited them based on the assumption that they lied to them.

This unquestionably led to the exodus of many people from Asaba amongst whom was a pregnant woman who according to one of the accounts finally settled at Ejeme and gave birth to a baby boy whom she named "Onumgbunum" which literally means "my mouth killed me."

Onumgbunum later became an adult and started an expedition further towards the west and after many years, he met a man called Akashiede who was living with his family at the present day Eziokpor and was accepted to live with them at about 1700 AD. The account further started that Akashiede has a daughter named Ezhie and a son named Ebu and the daughter was married to a man called Okpor with children. But Okpor later for sick and died and after some time, Onumgbunum, on the request of Akashiede took Ezhie as a wife in order to take care of Okpor's children and also have children through her.[url][/url]

In Nigeria, anything that spoil is spoiled, they don't think for repair that's generally our mentality.

Can you imagine the intending money to be wasted.



I remember vividly when my twinny wàs working in the barracks with Martin Luther teaching hospital, she said if those white oyibo travel back to thier country during those times if any machine spoil they will dump it and wait for the oyibo to come and rapair even it's 5 months.

Can you imagine? something they should repair and continue with.

Den full civil service.

Stingy, tight fisted, Olodo people with poverty mentality full there.

If ordinary bulb burn inside an office room, if the Oga does not buy new bulb for that room, even though its not the Oga that is using the office, nobody using the office room can buy new bulb.

Mtcheeeew... he's gonna insert a tube. Blow bawo.... oga ade stay your lane

Lexusgs430 commented jeje ... You could simply say.. "Oh no, he's gonna insert a tube, the tire can't blow" ... But rather you hiss and tell him to stay his lane.

Lexusgs430:
Is it poverty/negative economical conditions that warped our mindset like this.......

"Our mindset" ... Is a general, society term, not directed at anyone in particular. weyreypey shouldn't have picked offence at that to allude that lexusgs430 is poor because he uses Umidigi phones.

Even if he's using Itel, did you give him money to buy it?

Lexusgs430 deserves an apology for the tirade directed at his person

Let us learn to stay on topic, please. Thanks

Lovely morning guys. I need a very good hp laptop (preferably hp probook 640 g1 or elitebook 820 g1). 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, intel core i5. Budget is 60k max. Thanks.

To be fair .. to avoid being scammed.. to avoid buying laptop with hidden problems...

60k can only get you core i3 ... If you see core i5 for 60k, check it very well for hidden faults.

You can get Dell or Lenovo core i5 from 65k

Elitebook core i5 is about 90k

There are many factors involved in a lady not wanting to marry or date down. It is very easy to bruise a guy's ego when you are higher than him. And that might make the lady constantly walking on egg shells.

I once shared here how I had a date with a guy that I had been talking to. I drove to meet him while he took a taxi or public transport because he didn't have a car. We wanted to move from our meeting point to where we were going to hang out. Do you know that this guy refused to enter the car? We had to walk down there in the hot sun.

It was sooo obvious that he was uncomfortable with the fact that I drove and he couldn't just let me drive him. We didn't see after that.

Some guys cannot handle it. Who wants to keep apologising for being up if you are with a guy that has a big ego.

Where is ladies dey see all those useless guys sef?

There are many humble, nice and hardworking guys out there... Why is it only egoistic, womanising, gold diggers una dey see?

It's a cool vehicle.. balanced at high speed

But aluminium full the engine. If uneven road or speed bump break the engine bottom, you will have to drop the engine.

On smooth roads, you can speed as much as you like. But don't speed over gallop/speed bump, approach bumps with extreme caution and avoid bad road that can scrap the bottom of your engine as much as possible.

You're good to go

It's a simple decision: if he wants fame, playing time, respect but mixed with insults from time to time, and to avoid racism, doesn't care about trophies he should play for Nigeria.

If he wants prompt payment of wages and allowances, higher chance of trophies, doesn't care about racism or being on the bench most of the time, he should play for England.

Which trophy has England won since 15 years ago?

And how many trophies has Nigeria won?

[quote author=Yankee101 ArticleBeast post=92074375]You were employed and told you will exit in 24months.

1. What did you do with your money and time?
2. A good number had other jobs while others had spare time to do other things
3. Let's stop depending on the government for everything[/quote]You are ignorant.

Government parastals don't have quality manpower... What they have is old, mediocre civil servants everywhere.

Some public primary/schools have only 5 permanent staff (Principal/HM vice principal, 3 teachers) for a while school.

Some state governments have not recruit teachers as far back as 2005.... Their rural schools are relying on semi-literate community teachers to function.

The government is supposed to consolidate and build on Existing Npower beneficiaries... I mean, add more, not disengage.

Nigeria Army/Navy/Airforce recruit every year ... Npower can accommodate Batch A-Z if the government can think of of the box but they're just lazy.

Osinbajo/Afolabi/Maryam Uwais successfully managed Npower for three and half years without much issues.

But Sadiya Umar farouk, within few months, she wants to destroy everything because she can't think/innovate or she has personal sentiments.

So it's not really that Npower batch A, B,C,D is not feasible together... It's just that Sadiya Umar farouk is hell bent of sending them away.

Curious to know too

I know it's a 4 and year old thread

shaneroberts26:
OK. Thanks for the clarification bro but I would like you to elaborate more on this.
In this situation, the kids of the woman involved were forcefully taken away from her.The man took the two boys and left her with their 2 years old baby girl. The first boy, is about 5 years going to 6 while the second boy is around 4.Although the lady is working but she cannot carter for all the kids but isn't it appropriate for the law to grant her the custodial rights, since the children are still young and make the man pay child support and grant him visitation?
And also for the fact they aren't legally married?

How can a man

Born one
Born two
Born three ... With the same woman

And you're still saying they're not "legally married"... As if the man won't scream adultery if she has affairs when they're still together.

They're beyond legally married... They're flesh and blood
