WHY ORA PEOPLE DON'T BOW TO OBA OF BENIN
Okpameh (also called Uguan) the son of Oba Ewaure left the Benin kingdom after he was banned for committing murder. He went up to the Northern part and settled at a particular place he named Odorlerene (somewhere in present-day Ora). Okpameh was a very powerful and renowned hunter, who was respected for killing the dreaded Leopard (Ekpen), (see attached photo). He took a wife a Uokha Lady who bore him a Son he named Ora Ekpen (because of the circumstances surrounding his birth). Ora Ekpen later bore sons that make up the communities in today's Ora.

Unpleasant Surprises. Content Warning.
I've distanced myself from everyone, and the weight of broken relationships bears heavily on me, a relentless erosion of my self-esteem. Despite my desperate grip on the fragments of laughter and beautiful thoughts, it's as if my patience finally gave in. The haunting separation from my own family, all for the sake of fleeting friendships and brotherhood, leaves a deep scar. Anything new only entices when it remains untouched by selfishness. In this journey of disbelief, I had companions aplenty, and every moment, every chapter shall find its place in my diary, their stories etched with truth. Only the names will be concealed, a veil of respect for those who reside in my memories.

Brief Modern History of Russia
Before 1917, Russian people’s life was miserable. The mostly agrarian country with a compulsory 25-year military service term for male peasants was fighting Germans in World War I and brewing in revolutions and pogroms since 1905. The Bolsheviks led by Lenin (a multi-lingual political Marxist and populist dreamer living in Germany at the time who had a bone to pick with Nikolas II, the Russian tzar) promised to take the country out of the war, redistribute the wealth by giving the factories to workers and land to peasants and to make people’s life better if they did the Revolution.

MY COMMUNITY
I come from Umunede, a conspicuous town in Ika Nation,Delta state,Nigeria with over a population of 22,611 (as at over 1991 Natuonal Population Census Figure). Umunede is no longer the traditional society it was one hundred years ago, when it was controlled and governed by ancestral spirits and cultural legends which underlined a mystical convertism in all espects of the community life.

The problem with change in any human community is that ot usually affects the identity and way of life of the people, not just human both animals and plants. And since development involves change, then we have a socio-cultural problem on our hands because the bewildering results induced by developmental transformations make development and constancy incompatible
