While he flows smoothly, and mends brilliant lyrics and melodies which he incorporates into the music by featuring Chuba, it carries snapshots of his personal experience: he lost his Dad after a brief illness recently. Kenehimself's "35" is personal and unravels his vulnerabilities. However, he shares the experiences in hope you connect with the music even as he seeks to motivate someone with similar experience somewhere out there through the music.

From onset, Rivers women are known for traditional wrappers, it is their pride and identity. This rightly distinguished them from other women in the society, though tying traditional wrappers is almost becomimg a trend in this part of the world.
The ability of Rivers women to infect wrapper-syndrome modern women fashion is truly commendable. It has not only sustained this rich culture, it has also transcended it even to generations coming.
Nonetheless, we won’t fail to portray that traditional wrappers is the Rivers woman legacy.

History of Traditional Wrappers

One may want to ask how the relationship between the rivers woman and wrapper began; history told us that the colonial masters first landed in the seaports of the Ijaws (Bonny, Okrika, Kalabari etc.) and wrappers were one of the baits given to kings in exchange for slaves or as loyalty. We can imagine how prestigious wrapper was at that time; only the royal bloods were found clothed in it.
To women from other tribes and ethnicities, their modality of choosing wrapper for an occasion lies in colours and designs. For true Rivers women, each wrapper is symbolic, and can only be tied on specific occasions. E.g the Okrika’s, Kalabari’s, Opobo’s and Bonny’s have specific wrappers for burial ceremony, traditional marriage etc.

In some places, Bonny to be precise, there is a special ceremony carried out before women begin to tie specific wrappers. It is very serious and strictly adhered. A full born Bonny woman, who hav’nt underwent such ceremony can be embarrassed outside, if such wrapper was seen on her waist. But an Ikwerre or Efik woman can tie same wrapper anytime, anywhere, anyhow!

Names of Traditional Wrappers in Rivers State

The list of traditional wrappers is almost endless only few Rivers women who grew with their grannies could attempt listing ten. We would do well to list more; we have India, Loko, Damas, Krukrubite, Gom, Loko gom, Akwammiri (Akwette), Accra, Fun, Onungwa, Ikaki, George, Feni, Ikpo, Velvet and others.
Though every Ijaw woman ties any of these listed wrappers, there are some specially linked to specific ethnic groups. The Krukrubite, Loko are linked to the Kalabari’s, The India wrapper to the Bonny’s, while the Feni and Ikpo belongs mainly to the Okrika’s. And the style of tying them varies, an Andoni woman ties differently from an Ogoni woman.

Dynamics of Traditional Wrapper

Before you compare a western woman’s attire to that of a Rivers woman, here’s the current market price of some wrappers. A complete India wrapper ranges from a 150k to 300k; while an original yard of feni ranges from 15k to 20k.
It would interest you to note that a woman who want to tie a complete two waist of feni as it’s called would need 5-6 yards. Remember she would also need a blouse, shoe or sandals and other accessories to complete the dressing. When next you see a Rivers woman fully dressed in her native attire, give her kudos.

The reason why this heritage would live for eternity is because Rivers women can’t escape dressing up in traditional wrappers, especially when she is from the Ijaw tribe. Traditional wrapper await hers; her traditional marriage day, child dedication, father’s/mother’s/ husband or relative burial, except any of these is done in London, Amsterdam or Kuwait.
Truly traditional wrappers is a Rivers woman heritage. These wrappers are very valuable, that it is carefully shared amongst sister when their mother leaves earth. Those same sisters leave it for their children as their journey on earth completes too. Not only are the wrappers transferred; the pattern of tying it is also transferred.
Rivers women have visibly fought very hard in keeping this culture alive. If 20 Rivers couple is going for a church service etc. 17 of the women will dress in traditional wrapper while 19 of the men would wear western outfit. This is an evidence that Rivers women instill culture on their daughters more than the men. Congratulations to all Rivers women

IGOSLAPYOU:
Ikwerres should allow others to rule.

I taya for Them

For those who have visited any part of Rivers State in Nigeria and had the opportunities of tasting their meals will surely agree with this. It is almost impossible to have a meal in Rivers State without observing one or two sea food inside; periwinkle, shrimps or prawns, whelks, oysters, clams, fish, the list is endless. Considering the high nutritional values and health benefits of these seafood you would wisely want to ask, could that be the reason why Rivers people are very healthy, always fresh and rarely sick? The unhidden answer is yes! Join us as we unfold a few of those sumptuous seafood and their health benefits.

PERIWINKLES (ISAM)
Periwinkles (Isam) are only of the most popular seafood you could find in the state. Due to its availability, popularity and cost compared to others you currently find them in other states across the country, it would even shock you to know that Periwinkles from River State has found its way to America, Europe or Asia, guess who sent them there? Our caring Rivers mothers of course they want their children in diaspora to keep enjoying this rich seafood. They are very high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and low in fat.

PRAWN OR SHRIMPS (OPORO)
Oporo as popularly called is one of their major seafood in Rivers State. It can be boiled, fried and roasted. They can be used to cook rice, soup or served fried accompanied with drinks. Prawns have a very surprising fact; they are low in calories and fat than chicken but yet with much more protein. Prawns or shrimps contain magnesium which is known to play huge role in bone development, nerve and muscle function.

They also contain zinc, which is a good source for growing bodies and selenium a very important antioxidant.

WHELKS (NGOLO)
This is one of the sweetest, if you’re yet to taste this, hurry you have been missing. But note it’s of the high price unlike periwinkles (isam).

Whelks are excellent source of essential fatty acids that prevents the chance of cancer, heart diseases. It provides vitamins, proteins and mineral along with low amount of fat. This seafood due to its low content of calories is effective for weight loss.

CRABS
Crabs are excellent addition to a healthy eating plan, it’s a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids which helps to improve memory, decreases chances of healthy of having heart attack or cancer. It’s a good source of vitamins A, C, B12 and minerals like zinc and copper.

It also has chromium which is considered a useful mineral for those who have insulin resistance, as it may improve blood sugar metabolism. (The advantage of crab over other seafood is it almost all their benefit but without the risk of mercury poisoning.)

OYSTER (NGBE)
This one is not so popular; it can only be seen rarely in Riverine part of the state. But its nutritional value is high and superb. Oysters contain vitamins and minerals including selenium, manganese, vitamin C, B 12, copper, phosphorus and riboflavin.

They have amino acid score of 106, indicating that it is a complete/high quality protein, essential for building and repairing muscles and tissues.

COCKLES (IKPOPU)
Cockles are heart shaped bivalve sea creatures cooked and eaten for their high protein content, low in fat and carbohydrates, they are suitable for variety of diet plans. They are also low in calories, rich in protein, with 13.5 grams in each 100-gram serving. Consumption of protein is vital for good health; it provides the structure for your body’s cells and tissues.

They are also very low in fat like other seafood; none of the fat in cockles is saturated fat, those fats that increase your risk of heart diseases. So this is another rich one to look out for if you want to be healthy.

FISH
Most time you will hear medical doctor or nutritionist say it’s better to eat fish than eat meat. This is a simple and clear fact looking at the nutritional values of fish over meat. Fish is a food of excellent nutritional value with high quality protein and wide variety of vitamins and minerals including A and D, Iodine, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus. Oil in fatty fish are the richest source of a type of fat that is vital to normal brain development in unborn babies and infant and without adequate amount of these fatty acids normal brain development doesn’t take place. A true Rivers man would be uncomfortable to have a meal without fish for a full week.

Now you understand why Rivers People look so fresh and healthy. Not to worry, you can also look same by introducing the above listed seafood to your meals. We would be extremely glad to share in your testimonials.

duro4chang:
Me Nkor?

You no get money

As the 2023 General elections draws closer and closer, permutation for who takes over at the Brick House is the order of the day.

Naturally, in guessing who becomes the Next Governor of Nigeria’s treasure base, attention is mostly drawn to those in the good books of Rivers State’s major political gladiators; Nyesom Wike and Rotimi Amaechi.

Most Sellable Rivers State Individuals
Here’s a list of 4 Rivers men who have the inherent ability to govern Rivers State better. They are unifiers, development oriented, and goal getters.


Ifie Sekibo
Ifiesimama Melvin Precious Sekibo, fca, fcib, PHD, (born 18 April 1965) is a Nigerian banker and entrepreneur adept at returning moribund companies to the path of sustained profitability. He is the pioneer and currently the CEO and Managing Director of Heritage Bank, Nigeria’s most innovative bank. A post he held since 2012. Ifie is not a politician, but just like the case of Peter Obi in Anambra, he can change Rivers State positively if given the chance.


Chibudum Nwuche
Prince Chibudum Nwuche, one of Rivers State most reserved politician. The former deputy speaker the house of representative, is a nationalist and detribalistic administrator. With enviable and diverse wealth of experience, most especially his undented track record. The lawyer/politician is one among a handful of politicians who had served, but yet still have a good name. One can’t be wrong to consider him a worthy option for Rivers State’s number one job.


Victor Fingesi
Victor Tamie Fingesi; is an astute security expert and administrator. In 2019 elections, popular opinion has it that his governorship manifesto was one of the most solution based in Nigeria. Victor Fingesi is responsible for placing the Port Harcourt Polo Club in the league of A-list Polo clubs in the country. As a 2 term president, his tenure recorded gold. His humanitarian deeds also speak for him, no matter how hard he tries to stay private. Most solution he proffered to the current Rivers State government as an oppostion, was secretly adopted.



Tein Jackrich
Tein T.S Jack-Rich, After twelve years of hard work, founded J+G Global Gas & Oilfield Limited in 1998 and other subsidiaries to provide oil and gas-related services. Today he is the President/Founder of Belemaoil Producing Limited. The first indigenous oil Exploration and Production Company in Nigeria to emerge from an oil Producing Community in the heart of Niger Delta. Tein through his Foundation, awards scholarships to hundreds of students, in Europe, America, Asia and Africa. Needless to say more, regarding why we need a great employer of labour to govern a State were employment is scarce.
This is a call to look inwardly, as we prepare to change leaders in various capacities. Most times the best leaders are deeply searched.

Port Harcourt is one of Nigeria’s most unique cities, with super talented people as residents. The Garden City of Nigeria is beginning to take its rightful place, so far as entertainment and events is concerned. The likes of Agbani Darego, Joseph Yobo, Julius Agwu brought the City to world stage. But most recently, Burna Boy made Port Harcourt a resounding name in the league of world famous cities.


Maybe, we should remind ourselves that the first black African girl to win the Miss World is from Port Harcourt, likewise the first Nigerian to win a Grammy.

Such a City deserves to host headline concerts; Home-grown acts like Oma Lay, Dan Dizzy, Mr. Funny etc. started the assignment already, they all hosted their concert in the city of their birth last year. But the world awaits the Odogwu concert!




Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy has never hidden his identity, the Port Harcourt identity. Whatever affects his people does affect him too, he most recently joined the advocacy against soot, just like he vehemently did during the End Sars protest.


To cap up the love for his root, Burna Boy will be holding his yearly concert in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria beginning from this 2022! You guess is as good as mine, what an event that would be. Wondering why we are so certain? We got this filler from a direct burna boy source. One extra secret; Davido would be a surprise act, they both would end the long weighty beef in PH. When you begin to see this all over the news, do remember you first read it on Port Harcourt Magazine, Nigeria’s vogue!

It is called Nama Tibi not Isiagu

Penguin2:
Is that not Isiagu I’m seeing?

Those who try so much to divide Igbo and Ijaw ties and brotherhood have a lot of explanation to make.

Because it was supposed to be a traditional and cultural attire day and that man wore that, which means he was representing his culture and tradition.

Maybe there are Igbos in Bayelsa after all!

Wizkid must win Grammy award next year
