FOUR WRONG REASONS SMOKERS DON'T WANT TO STOP

FOUR WRONG REASONS SMOKERS DON'T WANT TO STOP SMOKING

"Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choices." - William J. Bryan (United States political leader) 1860 - 1925

Yes, it is a fact that many people who smoke enjoy doing so without giving it attention what might be the after effects. 

Smokers are liable of dying young they say. But none is God who is the giver and taker of life. 

Many smokers believe in God as the ultimate final decision maker when it comes to life and death. 

Still, it is good for one to know other effects of smoking to the body and to the brain as well. 

If you know these four reasons, your life would never remain the same.

These are the four reasons smokers don't want to stop smoking:

1. HIGHNESS OF BRAIN

First, smoking cannot make one know or act smarter than others. Bear it in mind.

Well, in the world of the unenlightened highness is a one time moment many want to be in always. 

Some people smoke alot of cigarettes and or India hemp today because they want to be high in the spirit of reasoning. 

They want to reason solutions to their problems out through inhaling dangerous substances inform of drugs, thinking or believing they are helpful to their soul and body.

Stop using harmful drugs and focus mostly on your natural and inner spirit motivations.

2. INTOXICATION OF SPIRIT SELF

Some other people have refused to stop intoxicating the spirit due to what they captured in the Bible - when the Wise Solomon get himself intoxicated with drinks.  But, this would not help anyone as well. 

Other people smoke just because they want to be intoxicated with drinks and other hard drugs. Many thinks, it would help them forget their sorrows and worries and life.

 No! it would never allow you to get, run or even escape the calamities of this world. Your inability to master your spirit self is the proplem. Seek knowledge. Ask God for wisdom. And ask questions to get solutions.

3. FRIENDS INFLUENCE

Many other smokers who truly want to stop but can't, is because of their friends influence. 

They are afraid and shameful of what their beautiful friends would say of them when they decline in such unstoppable habits. 

4. SEXUAL ENERGY

The remaining smokers don't want to quit due to sexual energy or power they think they derived from it especially when they smoke randomly. 

Smokers don't know how having sex imidiately after smoking drastically drains their brain. 

Kindly have sex while in your natural mode and feeling than be in the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Take courage. Be courageous. Be still and know YOU are God. We are gods! Trust yourself. You can be super human.

THREE CONFUSING WORDS - ARTISAN - ARTIST - ARTISTE

X-Base Craft

THREE CONFUSING WORDS 

ARTISAN

ARTIST AND

ARTISTE

These three words are powerfully connected to each other in meaning and sound. But they are not the same as it sounds. 

There are many other words that are confusing to the public that are not mentioned here. It would be taking care of in the next article. 

1. THE FIRST WORD IS ARTISAN: 

The word artisan is a noun and can be a person who is skilled at something mostly using his hands and brain. 

It can be said to be a skilled man or being creative in nature. If we say someone is an artisan, it simply suggest that the person is a craftsman. 

A Craftsman is a talented man. As long as hands and brain are involved and very active in action. 

What we should know is, we all are born to be crafty in our unique way.

2. THE NEXT WORD IS ARTIST:

The word artist is a noun and it's a person. For one to become an artist is totally different from becoming an artisan. 

To answer an artist means that one is involved in drawings and painting. 

This work of art is done from the inside brain. Visualization is mostly needed in this type of work. 

They are great men of imagination and thinking. It's also a talent and a  skill any man or woman can have. 

You can certainly be called a make-up artist - someone who beautify an object or a human body or face to look more attractive. 

But, you can be a wood caver and or fashion designer without the appropriate knowledge appliances which goes along way in setting one back due to lack of insight and creativity.

To be  complete  in all things, one need to seek development and never be weary in learning new skills.

3. THE FINAL WORD IS ARTISTE:

The word artiste is a noun and a person according to Oxford Learner's Dictionary.

 Who is an ARTISTE? 

According to Oxford, an artiste is a professional entertainer. 

He can also be seen as a singer, dancer, or an actor who happens to be appearing on stage often for public to watch or listen to him in a humorous or educative manner.

Knowing these differences, gives one the opportunity to know exactly where one falls in times of chosen a career.

"Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it" . Said; Pope John Paul I I

GREAT NAMES OF ACHARA ANCIENT KINGDOM

GREAT NAMES OF ACHARA ANCIENT KINGDOM



"A wise leader must learn how to ask questions and seek wisdom from the elders." - Batholomew Obienyi

Achara is the first son of Uturu in the ancient days and in the present.

Our elders let us know the great names of Achara people from the olden days of our fore fathers.

The three names means alot only to the ears that have understanding.

My fellow Achara people I greet you all. I want to say something but I would want to put it in writing not because I can write nor because I believe in this saying " the pen is mightier than the sword" . No, but I want to write just to paint my view on what I have seen and witnessed and heard from the elders of our great ancient kingdom of Achara.

My writing may not really mean anything to you but I  think to another it may mean the world. 

In history, as it is written that Achara is a name of a person in a rich organized family called Uturu. Uturu, according to history were once a great warriors' son named Ena. And no warrior ever liveth without being a winner.

To be at the first row is always a challenge. There's always a fight for a warrior's sons and daughters.

To become the first child in a family is like to become the only child who always faces danger. 

And if you are the only child, two great things faces you; to fight to live not to live to fight and to endure the scares and wounds given to you by others who claim not to be your enemies.

One of the elders said; 

"Achara But Ise Nngkpagidere Nnti"

Right from the beginning of time, Achara has been a strong spirit living in a blessed land. We have been to the people a tree of wisdom others hunger to have. To whom we abandoned, we have deeply seen what is beneath the ground.

Another elder stood up to say;

"Achara Bu Ala Mgbawara Abou Rachikwe".

It is after several discussion that one of the elders made the statement above. He said this in order to tell us how strong hearted the olden days Achara people were.

 Meaning, in the olden days, we don't tolerate nonsense, in the olden days, we have been the heir, in the olden days, we have been the magicians, in the olden days, we have been the wise, in the olden days, we have been the home of refuge for other people, in the olden days, we do what others fear to do, and  in the olden days, we are hard to be defeated. 

The elders try to encourage the young ones at heart to be strong and trust in God and obey the traditional laws and rules in doing things.

They confirmed that;

"Achara But Enya Aturu Nnlegidere Agu  Ya Nwo".

One of the elders said, truly, if we become a lion in this case, we can lose but let us turn to whom we are truly. We are Enya Aturu. 

We are the "Lamb Eye" in the eyes of the people.  We are the gods to our friends. Who are the friends of Achara? The other fowls. We have remained silent even though we are not afraid of war or communal battle. 

The elders have advised us not to beg again rather to arm ourselves with rules and laws of the land knowing fully well it's their woo who are faulty in abundance.

Another thing that looks like what others said is: 

"Akpata Atufo Ejiweye Abu Oghariaya Mana, Akpata Atufo Na Emenu Ubaam"

The words of the elders cannot be taken for granted.

There's a reason this statement was made.

Among the elders, there's nothing hidden and nothing common in their presence. They said exactly how it started and why it is happening. Yes, to be the first is always a challenge. You must and should give what you can afford to lose. In the other way round, you must be careful in what you say. 

Everything has dual meaning in the eyes of the wisdom elders. Your ability to choose the right one, that where the power of being a  super human start. 

        THE BEGINNING OF UTURU 

Ena, the founder of Uturu clan with his group settled at a place called Ekeukwu at a time nobody had ever inhabited there.

Enamgbedu, the father of Uturu, a great warrior and hunter, had other sons apart from Uturu,his first son. The other sons were 

Lolo- the present day Umulolo

Ochi- the present day Osuochi

Ama- the present day Eluama in Isuikwuato.

The Sons of Ena of all lived with him at Ekeukwu but after some times, three of his sons set off to live on their own and travelled afar and settled at their present location where they lived today, leaving their most elder brother - Uturu to take care of their aged father at Ekeukwu.

They often come back for a reunion from time to time at the instance of their aged father. They could come back from their different abode for his blessings and wise counsel. At certain time of the year, Ena other children would come down to Uturu to meet at Ekeukwu to pay homage to their ancestral home and perform the traditional rites  before  the great shrine( ERIMAFOR). On such occasions, they used to bring with them, among other things, the placenta of their children born during the year and present same before the ERIMAFOR - a sort of Census taking.

HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF IGBOLAND( UTURU IN PARTICULAR )

A man called Ena who was believed to be a farmer, hunter and a warrior  in search of a better settlement  came into the present Uturu in company of his great family and relatives.  He is believed to have sojourned from present day cross river state;many believed that he particularly migrated from Ogoja.

They first settled at the present Ekeukwu because of the serenity cos of the shades from the trees.

Ena has many wives but the first wife by name Mgbedi was most significant.  She was the person that told the household not to kill Azu ihuku on the premise that the noise from the fishes keep them company as though they have neighbours( no spirituality of any sort attached to it)

The sons of Ena are 

IMOBI

UGWU

OCHI

IBINA

OPAISIEKE

ABO N'EZE and

UTURU. 

Shortly afterwards another family led by a man called EDERENWOGBA ( EDERE OMOBA) came to settle  at same land. This led to a fight.

 UTURU  being young and unmarried  fought vehemently for his father against the Edere Omabas.  Edere Omabas were conquered and chased towards the present day Ebonyi  state.

Owing to victory brought by UTURU,  their  father Ena named the  community  after him. Thus the entire land answers UTURU till this day.

For him to fight more wars to conquer more lands he underwent several fortifications.  The last he did was to eat the bile of a lion which unfortunately killed him. He neither married nor had any child till death. He was buried along Amidi Ihiteokoko Road . During new yam festivals  the spot is decorated with white cloths till this day.

IMOBI and his brother UGWU moved to Achara( under a bamboo tree thus the name Achara at the present Achara Post office). 

Ochi moved to Ekpukpa

Opaisieke to Nvurunvu

Ibina to Ndundu

AboN'eze to Isunabo.

Due to the desire to have more lands UGWU took his children and moved to the present MBA UGWU such as

UGWUele

Ngodo

Ugwuogu

Anyim  children went to present Umuanyi.

Some of Ena relatives that came with him include

Edda in Ebonyi

Ochi( Isuoçhi)

Etc.

Imobi has several wives. The first wife gave birth to Idii(first son of IMOBI-Amidi)

Anyanwu(Amanyanwu)

Onuzo. 

Other wives also had sons  such as

Eziama

Okwe( Amokwe)

NNEJI (OGWAHIA)
