Queen Cleopatra

 📌 Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt. 


Cleopatra was a remarkable figure in ancient Egypt, known for her strategic abilities and political acumen. 


She was born in 69 BC and ruled Egypt alongside her father and later her brothers before eventually becoming the sole ruler. 


Cleopatra was highly educated, fluent in multiple languages, and known for her charm and wit.


One of the most famous aspects of Cleopatra's life was her relationships with two Roman leaders, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. 


These relationships were not only romantic but also politically significant, as they helped Cleopatra maintain her power and influence in the region. 


Cleopatra's involvement with these Roman leaders played a crucial role in the political landscape of the time.


Despite her efforts to align with powerful figures, Cleopatra's reign faced challenges, particularly with the rise of Octavian (later Emperor Augustus) in Rome. 


The Battle of Actium in 31 BC marked the end of Cleopatra's alliance with Mark Antony and ultimately led to her tragic end.


Cleopatra's legacy endures through history as a symbol of female power and leadership in a male-dominated world. 


Her story continues to captivate people worldwide, showcasing her as a complex and fascinating historical figure in the tapestry of ancient Egypt.

 SAN TRIBE. "The Bushmen of the Kalahari: Exploring the Rich History of the San Tribe" In the heart of Southern Africa lies a vast expanse of desert known as the Kalahari, where the San people, also known as Bushmen, have lived for thousands of years.

The word oriaku in Igbo

Image
 The word "oriakụ" originally didn't mean "Mrs". The title "Mrs" had no place in Igbo culture which is represented by language. Oriakụ was a name for both men and women in the past. How do I mean? In 1977, a book was published in Igbo Language by A. I.  Akọma, an Ngwa man. It's a drama text entitled "Obidiya". The man who killed Ọnụma— Obidiya's husband over a land dispute that ruled in the favour of Ọnụma was Oriakụ by name.. Obidiya sworn to avenge her husband's death.  I have read couple of literatures in Igbo backdated 60s and 70s, I realised that some names were unisex. Take for instance "Ụzọma". In the present-day Abịa and Imo, in some parts; Ụzọma is a masculine name. Then come to Ebọnyị State like in Ọhaọzara presently, Ụzọma is a feminine name. I used to think that Professor Inno Ụzọma Nwadike was a woman, not until I first spoke with him on phone 9 years ago. In some parts of ala Igbo, man and woman can be Ụzọm
