History of Oron People.

Oron was in existence in the pre-colonial period in Nigeria and was formerly a part of the province called the South-Eastern state. Natives of this area speak the dialect also known as Oron. Most Oron people also speak and understand the Efik language fluently. The Oron also have some dialectical similarities with the Ibibio and Annang people, hence their communication in Ibibio and Annang languages is very proficient.

History has it that by 2370 BC Oron also known as {Oro Nation} had already been settled down in the present location known as Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria on the West Coast of African Sub Region, Akwa Ibom Gulf Line to Gulf of Guinea Atlantic Ocean South, after the Great flood (Noah`s deluge). The Community as at then and up until this moment is embedded with their dialect Language originated by them as far back as 2370 BC, not borrowed elsewhere or from the Bantus, Cameroun and/or Palestinian. The mass movements raided by Bantus the warriors, into many Communities did not mean that Oro people migrated from the Bantus, the Cameroun or Palestinians.

What if there were no black people in the world?



 
This is a story of a little boy named Theo, who woke up one morning and asked his mother,
 “Mum, what if there were no black people in the world?”
Well, his mother thought about that for a moment and then said,
“Son, follow me around today and let’s just see what it would be like if there were no black people in the world” mum said.
“Now go get dressed and we will get started.” Theo ran to his room to put on his clothes and shoes.
 His mother took a look at him and said, “Theo where are your shoes? And those clothes are all rumpled. Son, I must iron them”. However, when she reached for the ironing board it was no longer there.” You see SARAH BOONE, a black woman, invented the ironing board and JAN E, MATZELON GER, a black man invented the shoe lacing machine, oh well!’’ she said,
 “Please go and do something to your hair. “Theo ran into his room to comb his hair, but the comb was not there.” she said, “you see, WALTER SUMMONS, a black man invented the comb. Theo decided to just brush his hair, but the brush was gone. You see! LYDIA O.NEWMAN,

Three-person babies technique voted on by MPs




 I wonder what scientist are turning our world into. Am sure Nigerians wont even try to think of this.

 Baby

MPs will hold a crucial vote later to decide whether to allow the creation of babies using DNA from three people. 


They will have a free vote on the technique, which is aimed at preventing deadly genetic diseases being passed from mother to child.
The UK would become the first country to introduce laws to allow the creation of babies from three people.
It has sparked fierce ethical debate and senior Church figures have called for the procedure to be blocked.
However, if there is a "yes" vote in the Commons, then the first three-person baby could be born as soon as next year. It could eventually help about 150 couples a year.

Oyin


Oyin will be 5 years in May, at the checkout stand, she saw a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box. Mum please can I have them?  Mum quickly checked the tag and looked into her pleading eyes. N399! If you really want them, I will think of some extra chores for you so you can save enough to buy them for yourself. As soon as she got home she checked her savings box, N205! After dinner she did more than her share of the chores and so began a month long effort to complete the price. On her birthday,  Uncle TJ and Dad each gave her N100 and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace. Oyin loved the pearls. They made her feel dressed up. She wore them to everywhere; school, church even to bed. 

Oyin has a very loving Dad and every night at bedtime he would read her a story. One night he finished the story and asked Oyin, "Do you love me?" "Oh yes, Dad. You know that I love you." "Then give me your pearls. Oh Dad, not my pearls but you can have my baby doll, the lovely pink one. That's ok, honey, Daddy loves you. Good night. About a week later after story time, Dad asked again, Do you love me? Dad you know that I love you. Then give me your pearls. Oh Dad, not my pearls but you can have my blue gown and the matching purse. That's ok, sleep well, Dad loves you.

A few nights later when Dad came in, Oyin was sitting in bed, he noticed she was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek. What is it Oyin, what's the matter? With a little quiver she lifted her little hand up to her Dad. And when she opened it there was her little pearl necklace,  Here, Dad, it's for you. 

With tears in his eyes, Dad reached out and took the cheap necklace,  and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave it to Oyin. He had it all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her genuine treasure. Your heavenly father is asking you too, Do you love me?
