The story of an Igbo hustler:

Joseph Chukwuka Ulasi, hailed from Nnewi in Anambra state. Born in 1890 and died 1944.

He was nicknamed "O ji ụkwụ eje Aba" because of his unflinching hustling spirit as a young Igbo boy determined to make it in life and of which he eventually did by becoming the most successful transporter from South East.

He regularly traveled on foot from Nnewi to Aba in mid-1920's in search of fortune (O ji ụkwụ eje Aba). At Aba he traded in textiles and produce, slowly and painstakingly building a solid asset base by setting up roadside stalls along the popular Aba Road. He would recruit apprentices from Nnewi at one stage, up to sixty. By 1933, he had built up a fleet of six lorries, which he deployed into a road haulage business which earned him a mail delivery contract for the Eastern Provinces. He made fortune from the Mail delivery contract which helped him to up his fleet of lorries from 6 to 14 as at 1935.

The name of his Transport Company is J.C Ulasi Motors, a household name in the 1930s. He became a Warrant Chief at Aba and died in June 1944. His kinsman Louis Odumegwu-Ojukwu was to succeed him as the King of the road haulage business by the formation of his legendary Ojukwu Transport Company in 1937. Chief. J.C Ulasi tremendous success as a transporter also inspired his cousin, Late. Chief Ejikeme Ilodibe of "Ekene Dili Chukwu" to emerge as a transport magnate. JC Ulasi died a wealthy Igbo transporter, he was the first Nigerian to venture in to Transport business and it played out well for him. Many others toed his path.

You have now known the story behind that popular nomenclature "O ji ukwu eje Aba"

so obsessed with the idea of teasing arthur morgan. just casually throwing my leg over his hips in the tent, settling down over them with my knees on either side, feeling the warmth of his hands on my thighs. leaning down and whispering “plan on sleepin’ first, you mind taking watch?” and watching that man CRUMBLE before sliding off and curling up in my bedroll

I hope this doesn't sound too mean or anything, but I'm just genuinely curious. Tau is a very timid and anxious lion who fears fighting and aggression. Ekene is a very aggressive lioness who would rather fight than talk and gets excited at the idea of killing a hyena. So...why does Tau love her and vice versa?

Because Ekene isn't hyper aggressive, slaughtering hyenas that aren't there, and kicking over strangers sand castles on a constant basis. She also isn't the only lion in this comic who gets thrills out of killing hyenas simply for fun. Keep in mind that Ekene currently is being aggressive because she is a mother to a very young cub confronting a stranger on their territory after letting him off with a warning at first, a warning that in her mind Silver blatantly ignored, and that he could potentially harm her mate and try to kill the cubs. And if he is willing to ignore that warning, then he should die. And just because Ekene wants to turn Silver and Sahara into chalk outlines, doesn't mean she treats Tau like shit or intentionally tries to make him uncomfortable- or was even always this way before becoming a mom. He's a soft boy, she is a muscle woman- He respects her and likes her and the feeling is mutual.

#Ask #This is completely unrelated to this ask #but I find it VERY interesting that people give Ekene grief for being aggressive #but in the same breath give Tau grief for not being aggressive #please guys not every lion have to have the same personality or dynamics #People don't even question why the lionesses stick with a abusive shithead like Kwame as much as they question this pride #I am sorry I am making it a little too obvious that I am a tad bit fustrated

Etai-Eken (Pitt Poetry Series) By Ed Roberson , 1975. First edition.

Etai-Eken is a legend told in a series, a cycle of poems, which is to say, told in different languages. The action of the poems in the poem is their moving in and out of the legend by the changes of access to the larger legend; an access of the present in the ancient, of the present’s knowledge and experience of it.

Ek ki Biçesin

Beklemek edilgen bir eylemdir, sonucu başkalarına bağlıdır, siz pasif sinizdir. Başkalarına bağlı bir şeyi beklemek hem yorar, hem yıpratır, hemde hayatın olağan akışına aykırıdır. Buna karşın Yapmak etken bir eylemdir. Aktif olarak hayata katılırsınız. Siz yaparsınız, siz yön verirsiniz,  zira hayat beklemeden yapanların, eyleme geçenlerin şekillendirdiği bir süreçtir. Ondan sebep beklemek…

Kolektif – Bir Büyük Dönüşümden Kesitler (2023)

Ülkesinde yeri olmadığını düşünen, ülkesini artık sevmeyen, tanıyamayan ve hatta ülkesine artık katlanamayan insanların sayısı, Türkiye’de çok can yakıcı bir biçimde deneyimlense de, dünyanın pek çok yerinde hızla artıyor. Bu kitlesel yabancılaşmanın hem sebeplerinden hem de semptomlarından biri, anaakım partilerin üzerinde anlaştıkları temel değer ve kuralları ifade eden siyasi merkezin çok…
