Becoming a Woman in Okrika (1990)

[tamaradoubraomonibeke]

MP - Interview Opobo (LO1)

Questions to ask my aunt

Why do they make women to do the ceremony even after death, is there any believed repercussions?

Do men have a similar tradition (Rich asked me during one of my tutorials and I had no idea)

Tribes that do fattening room (I know Igbo people do it)

Ask about languages.

Ask about beauty treatments.

Ask about education.

Ask about war houses

Any pictures during the fattening room?

Responses

1. **Significance of the Wrapper Tying Ceremony**

- In Opobo, where formal education was absent historically, the wrapper tying ceremony holds immense importance, especially for girls transitioning into womanhood. It symbolizes the onset of puberty and the beginning of maturity. Mothers play a pivotal role in educating their daughters about self-care and covering oneself as they enter motherhood. This ceremony involves dressing up and covering one's private parts, marking a crucial milestone in a girl's life. Traditionally, it includes a period of training and nurturing in the fattening room, where girls are taught various skills and traditional beauty care practices using herbs and native products. The ceremony also emphasizes the role of fathers and husbands in the process.

2. **Male Equivalents**

- Unlike women, men in Opobo do not have a similar tradition. Instead, they may participate in rituals such as henna application.

3. **Absence of Fattening Room Images**

- Pictures of the fattening room are scarce due to concerns about oil staining clothes during the ceremonial process, particularly affecting women's attire.

4. **Other Tribes Practicing Fattening Room Rituals**

- The fattening room tradition extends beyond Opobo to tribes like Okrika, Calabri, and Ijaw, with variations in its practice. It may occur after childbirth (Omugwo), as part of initiation rituals for virgins (Okrika), or in mourning ceremonies (Nembe).

Additionally, the Opobo social structure involves various levels of authority, with chiefs representing war canoe houses and Senibos overseeing smaller compounds. The Papas compound, notably associated with King Jaja's reign, holds the stool of Amayandabo, functioning akin to a prime ministerial role during periods of regency.

The vessel was arrested 174 nautical miles off the coast of Nigeria, approximately 320 kilometres, heading to Benin Republic. According to a statement by the NNS Base Information Officer, Lieutenant H. Ibrahim, the motor vessel had 13 crew: one Ghanaian and 12 Nigerians, onboard at the time of arrest. The Flag Officer Commanding Western Naval Command, Rear Admiral MB Hassan, was quoted in the statement, as saying that the vessel was carrying about two million litres of the suspected product without approval and had switched off its Automatic Identification System to avoid detection. Oil theft has been identified as one of the factors responsible for the inability of Nigeria to increase its daily oil production.

[ad_1] A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Friday disqualified 16 Rivers State House of Assembly candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the 2023 general elections. The court, however, upheld the candidacy of 16 state constituencies of the APC, Njenje Media News reports. The candidates cleared by the court to participate in the general elections are those of Emohua, Ahoada East 1 and 2, Ikwerre, Omuma, Ogu Bolo, Bonny, Asari Toru, Akuku Toru 1 and 2, Ogba Egbema Ndoni 1 and 2, Opobo-Nkoru, Abual-Odua, Oyigbo and Degema constituencies. The constituencies and their candidates disqualified are those of Andoni, Etche 1 and 2, Tai, Gokana, Eleme, Port Harcourt City 1, 2 and 3, Khana 1 and 2, Okrika, Ahoada West and Obio-Akpor 1 and 2 constituencies. The presiding judge, Justice Turaki Muhammed in his judgment dismissed a preliminary objection by the APC, on the issue of jurisdiction and locus standi and also ruled that the suit was not status barred. Justice Muhammed held that the PDP was able to prove to the court that the primaries of 16 APC state Assembly candidates were not monitored by Independent National Electoral Commission. Speaking shortly after the judgment, counsel to the APC, Emenike Ebete and that of the candidates, Chimenem Jerome, vowed to appeal against the judgment of the High Court. The judgment came 24 hours after the Federal High court in Port Harcourt dismissed a similar suit by the APC against the PDP House of Assembly candidates where it ruled that the court lacks the jurisdiction to hear the suit.
