CULTURE AT ITS PEAK: THE "IRUKERE" AND ITS CULTURAL VALUE

Irukere fly whisks are fashioned of skin and hair from animals, particularly horsetail. The hair, which can be white or black, is attached by a leather handle or, in some instances, rubber to a stick that is inside. Irukeres are between 20 and 21 inches length from tip to tip. It is embellished with colorful crystals.

The Yoruba people, including their kings/chiefs, clerics, and traditional dancers, frequently wear irukere. The Yoruba rulers, who use it as a means of blessing the populace, are at the top of the list. The irukere is whisked to declare "it is done" after the monarch has finished a prayer.

When the Yoruba kings go out for special events, it is also a part of their outfit accessories. The phrase "k'ade o pe lori, ki bata pe l'ese, ki irukere pe lowo/di okin" is a common method for the Yoruba individuals to praise their king.

This is a method of expressing that the king should live a long life while also giving his ornaments some meaning.

Irukere is not just a common tool, but also a weapon of power, according to Yoruba traditional beliefs. It is a piece of jewelry worn by elders, kings, rulers, clergymen, and other people of note. It is also mostly used by traditional dancers and "ifa" diviners. Yoruba culture and customs are very rich. This is merely one of the instruments that the people use in their rituals.

OGBONGE HISTORY: HOW GHANA TAKE FREE?

Many natural resources in Ghana, formerly known as the Gold Coast, were divided into two categories: mineral resources and woodland resources. The Colonizers were the ones who discovered the mineral resources, which included gold, ivory, bauxite, diamonds, and manganese. Food and cash products are also grown. Because of the Gold Coast's abundant natural riches, there were numerous disagreements among the European nations about who should rule it.

Although the Portuguese were the first to settle at Elmina in the Gold Coast in 1482, the British seized control of some of the region in 1874. The term British Gold Coast was given to Gold Coast after it came under British rule. Following World War II, the British relinquished authority of the Gold Coast and other colonies in Africa.

Following the 1947 legislative election in Gold Coast, the United Gold Coast convention was the first to advocate for Independence. After winning the 1951 Gold Coast legislative election, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was elected to head the Gold Coast administration. On March 6, 1957, the Gold Coast, led by the "big six," formally proclaimed its freedom from the British. Gold Coast became named as Ghana.

BACKGROUND TORI: HAUSA OR FULANI; WETIN DEY CONFUSE YOU?

People of blended Hausa and Fulani ancestry are known as Hausa-Fulani. The majority of them speak a variety of Hausa, Fula, or both as their native tongue. They are mainly found in the Northern region of Nigeria.

While some Fulani assert that they are of Semitic descent, Hausas are native to West Africa. This indicates that "Hausaization" processes in the western Sudan region were likely both cultural and genetic in nature. The movement of Fulani people to Hausaland around the 14th century and their cultural assimilation into the Hausa society are directly responsible for the development of the Hausa-Fulani identity. Sheikh Usman dan Fodio successfully led a war against the Hausa Kingdoms at the start of the 19th century, establishing a unified Fulani Empire (anglicized as the Sokoto Caliphate).

Dan Fodio promoted inter-faith unions between the Fulani immigrants and the conquered Hausa states and locals, primarily other Hausa people, after the jihad; in addition, Jobawa, Dambazawa, and Sullubawa Fulani clans from Futa Tooro moved tothe area and intermarried with the predominantly Hausa local urban aristocracy, and they played a significant role in the linguistic, cultural, and ethnic blending of the Hausa-Fulani people. In Daura, Zamfara, Kano, Katsina, Zazzau, and Sokoto, the Hausa-Fulani make up the core and overwhelming majority of the populations as a consequence of this assimilation.

The primary language of Hausa-Fulanis is a variety of Hausa that comprises a continuum of regional dialects that are largely generally comprehensible. Over 100 to 150 million people speak hausa, making it the most widely spoken indigenous language in Africa and the eleventh most spoken language overall. Since the Trans-Saharan commerce, Hausa, which has many loanwords from other languages, has been spoken from Agadez in the heart of the Sahara Desert of Niger to Northern Nigeria. It used an Ajami script for many years, which served as the foundation for the academic heritage surrounding the language. After the Brits overthrew the Sokoto Caliphate, the writing was replaced with the Latin orthography of the Boko alphabets.
