Godwin Ekejekwu Chikeluba

Chief Sir Godwin E. Chikeluba (born 1933 in Awka-Etiti, Anambra state) was a Nigerian businessman and philanthropist.
Godwin Ekejekwu Chikeluba was born on 12 November 1933 to George Ojukwu Ochigwe Chikeluba and Madam Virginia Mbayiaku Chikeluba in Iruowelle Village, Awka-Etiti in the present Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State. Following the sudden death of his father in a car accident, and the death of his mother a year later, Chikeluba went on to live with a series of family members, beginning with an uncle in Delta state and then a brother in Abia state, with whom he joined and assisted in early trade relations from 1948 to 1955.
After two years of independent business activities, Chikeluba became one of the three partners who formed the conglomerate G.M.O Group of Companies in 1957. The other partners were Michael Arinze and Okoye Igwe. The name of the conglomerate was an amalgamation of the first letters of each of their first names. Apart from importation of items from overseas, this indigenous conglomerate encompassed diverse branches including footwear, exercise books, bicycles, roofing sheets, plastic containers, and nail production. In the 1980s the conglomerate was partly responsible for the production of the uniforms utilized in the NYSC camps of that period. The Group also developed friendly relations outside of Nigeria. There were trade relations between groups and individuals from India, China, and Europe. The group faced its most difficult period after the Biafran war in the early 1970s. The company was low in capital and reserve, as most of which had been loaned to the defunct Biafran Government.
Chikeluba served as Vicar’s Warden and was involved in church development projects. His philanthropic gestures ranged from providing housing for widows to sponsoring education for students at various levels. He received the Knighthood of St. Christopher from the Anglican Communion. He donated to the construction of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, and to the establishment of the Iruowelle Development Club in his hometown.
Following the death of Chikeluba, the G.M.O conglomerate collapsed. He was also the founder and director of Petrogas Limited, a fuel station in Onitsha.
On April 11, 1990, Chikeluba was assassinated in his home in Lagos, under obscure circumstances. In remembrance of his philanthropy, his hometown of Awka-Etiti erected a statue in his honor, in the Eke-Market square in Iruowelle village. The statue was unveiled in early February 2017 and remains standing.
In 1991 the G.M.O. Group built the belfry of All Saints' Cathedral in Onitsha in his memory.

Abimbola Owoade

Abimbola Akeem Owoade (born 17 July 1975) is the 46th Alaafin, or traditional ruler, of the Yoruba town of Oyo and rightful heir to the throne of its historic empire.
Abimbola Owoade was born in 1975 into the royal family of Owoade-Agunloye, Agure Compound, Oyo Town, Oyo State to Rasaki Ibiyosi Owoade. Owoade is a paternal great-grandson of Alaafin Lawani Agogoja through his paternal grandfather Aderounmu Iyanda Owoade (who was a brother of Alaafin Ladigbolu I). Thus, he is a member of the Agunloye royal house as a great-great grandson of Alaafin Agunloye, and is a direct descendant of Alaafin Atiba.
In 1992, he completed his Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) at Baptist High School, Saki, Oyo State. He studied Mechanical Engineering at The Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Ogun State (1994–1997), and The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State (1999–2001), earning an Ordinary National Diploma (OND) and a Higher National Diploma (HND), respectively.

He worked briefly with Oceanic Bank Plc as a teller from 2003 to 2004. He later relocated to the U.K., where he earned certification as a Project Manager after completing his degrees. Before being selected as Alaafin, he most recently worked as a project coordinator at Manitoba Hydro in Winnipeg, Canada.
Since the demise of Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III on 22 April 2022, the selection process for a replacement has been contentious. In May 2023, some royal families protested what they described as their exclusion from the process. In January 2025, another faction warned the Oyo State Government against interfering in the selection process due to a pending court case.
However, on 10 January 2025, the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, approved the selection of Abimbola Owoade to succeed his second cousin twice-removed, (as they are both male line descendants of Alaafin Atiba) the late Oba Lamidi III. On 13 January, the state governor presented a certificate and staff of office to the new traditional ruler. He was coronated on 5 April 2025.

Nigerian Civil Service

The Nigerian Civil Service consists of employees in Nigerian government agencies other than the military and police. Most employees are career civil servants in the Nigerian ministries, progressing based on qualifications and seniority. Recently the head of the service has been introducing measures to make the ministries more efficient and responsive to the public.
The word "civil"" is derived from an old French word "civil", which means "relating to law", and directly from Latin word "civilis", which means "relating to citizen", while the word "service" is derived from an old French word "servise", which means "aids". The Nigerian Civil Service has its origins in organizations established by the British in colonial times. Nigeria gained full independence in October 1960 under a constitution that provided for a parliamentary government and a substantial measure of self-government for the country's three regions. Since then, various panels have studied and made recommendations for reforming of the Civil Service, including the Margan Commission of 1963, the Adebo Commission of 1971 and the Udoji Commission of 1972–74.
A major change occurred with the 1979 adoption of a constitution modeled on that of the United States. The Dotun Philips Panel of 1985 attempted to reform the Civil Service. The 1988 Civil Service Reorganization Decree promulgated by General Ibrahim Babangida had a major impact on the structure and efficiency of the Civil Service. The later report of the Ayida Panel made recommendations to reverse some of the past innovations and to return to the more efficient Civil Service of earlier years. The Civil Service has been undergoing gradual and systematic reforms and restructuring since May 29, 1999 after decades of military rule. However, the civil service is still considered stagnant and inefficient, and the attempts made in the past by panels have had little effect.
In August 2009 the Head of the Civil Service, Stephen Osagiede Oronsaye, proposed reforms where permanent secretaries and directors would spend a maximum of eight years in office. The reform, approved by President Umaru Yar'Adua, would result in massive retirement of Permanent Secretaries and Directors, many of whom are from the North. Stephen Oronsaye has said that his goal is for the Nigerian civil service to be among the best organized and managed in the world. Oronsaye retired in November 2010 at the statutory age of 60 and was succeeded by Oladapo Afolabi.
On November 10, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari summoned all the permanent secretaries to the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock and compulsorily retired 17 of them; their retirement in force with immediate effect.
For many years, the post was concurrent with that of Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

Gambus

Gambus (Jawi: ‏ݢمبوس‎‎‎ serapan Arab: قَنبُوس‎, rumi: qanbūs) ialah sejenis lut (kecapi) berleher pendek yang berasal dari Yaman dan tersebar ke seluruh semenanjung Arab. Ia berbentuk seperti buah pear yang dibelah dua dan ia merupakan sejenis alat muzik bertali tradisional di Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, dan Singapura. Sachs berpendapat nama gambus datang dari komuz Turki tetapi ia lebih mirip oud. Kepopularannya merudum pada awal abad ke-20 semasa pemerintahan Imam Yahya, imam mazhab Zaidi dan seorang pemerintah Yaman. Bermula abad ke-21, gambus diganti oud sebagai alat pilihan pemain lut Timur Tengah.
Gambus popular di negara-negara Asia Tenggara seperti Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, dan Singapura. Gambus mencetuskan genrenya tersendiri dan dimainkan dalam tarian Zapin, sebuah tarian tradisional di negara-negara Asia Tenggara yang mempunyai majoriti masyarakat Muslim. Ia dikenali sebagai gabusi di kepulauan Comoros dan gabbus di Zanzibar
Kepala ditukang dari kayu pokok leban dan seraya. Telinga-telinganya adakala dibuat dari kayu jati atau cengal. Leher 21 x 2 cm menggunakan kayu leban tetapi model lebih mahal lebih ditukang dengan kayu abnus, jati atau pinang, leher ini digamkan pada badannya.
Terdapat 12 tali yang lazim dipasangkan sepanjang badannya. Dawai besi tidak digunakan sebagai tali petik kerana dikhuatiri merosakkan badan kayunya, sebaliknya tali tangsi/joran atau nilon. Tidak digalakkan memetik tali gambus dengan kuku tangan tetapi dengan pemanting, pemanting lazim ditukang dari tanduk kerbau, tetapi kini ada pilihan mudah menggunakan sisa plastik dari sarung kaset. Tidak seperti gitar, gambus tiada mempunyai tulang penentu ruang nada pada alat tali (fret).
Gambus terdapat dalam pelbagai jenis iaitu dari gambus tiga tali sehingga gambus yang mempunyai 12 tali.

Senarai pangram

Berikut adalah daftar pangram, bentuk kalimat yang memakai semua huruf dalam alfabet.
Diurutkan dari yang terpendek ke terpanjang:
Pangrams which use all the phonemes, or phones, of English (rather than alphabetic characters):
أبجد هوز ترتيب الحروف العبرية والعربية من اللغات الساميَّة
জীবন পরিপূর্ণ হবে নানা রঙের ফুলে। কুঞ্ঝটিকা প্রভঞ্জন শঙ্কার কারণ লণ্ডভণ্ড করে যায় ধরার অঙ্গন। ক্ষিপ্ত হলে সাঙ্গ হবে বিজ্ঞজনে বলে শান্ত হলে এ ব্রহ্মাণ্ডে বাঞ্ছিতফল মেলে। আষাঢ়ে ঈশান কোনে হঠাৎ ঝড় উঠে গগন মেঘেতে ঢাকে বৃষ্টি নামে মাঠে ঊষার আকাশে নামে সন্ধ্যার ছায়া ঐ দেখো থেমে গেছে পারাপারে খেয়া। শরৎ ঋতুতে চাঁদ আলোয় অংশুমান সুখ দুঃখ পাশা পাশি সহ অবস্থান। যে জলেতে ঈশ্বর তৃষ্ণা মেটায় সেই জলেতে জীবকুলে বিনাশ ঘটায়। রোগ যদি দেহ ছেড়ে মনে গিয়ে ধরে ঔষধের সাধ্য কি বা তারে সুস্থ করে? (ditulis oleh Shyamal Chandra Das)
Pangram dalam bahasa Itali biasanya membuang huruf asing j, k, w, x, dan y.
Karena ada puluhan ribu huruf Kanji, pangram yang wujud menggunakan unsur-unsur bahasa ini cenderung terhad mencakupi huruf-huruf kana sahaja.
Banyak pangram yang wujud lazim dipakai, terutamanya dalam baku dipakai di Indonesia:
Dalam bahasa Melayu yang dipakai di Malaysia pula:
Since Norwegian orthography does not include c, q, w, x or z, except in foreign borrowings that haven't been naturalised, the possible pangrams including all the 29 letters of the Norwegian alphabet will require using two or more words with a distinctly foreign spelling.
(also applies to Croatian and Bosnian)
Even in the expansion, c is missing, only occurring as part of the digraph ch, which is a separate letter. Also f g j l q w x as well as accented vowels á ó and unaccented y.
Latin Uyghur: Awu bir jüp xoraz Fransiyening Parij shehrige yéqin taghqa köchelmidi.

Indesia

Page Templat:Kotak info bahasa/styles.css has no content.
Indesia adalah adalah sebuah istilah tidak formal yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan campuran budaya dan etnik antara warisan India Malaysia dan Indonesia.Ia digunaka untuk memaksudkan orang Pribumi Indonesia yang berkahwin dengan Orang India Malaysia terutamanya dalam konteks Malaysia pada masa kini. Istilah ini mencerminkan penggabungan pengaruh budaya, bahasa, dan etnik dari kedua-dua India Malaysia dan Indonesia, menghasilkan gabungan tradisi, adat, dan identiti yang unik. Gabungan ini amat ketara di kalangan masyarakat Tamil Malaysia dan masyarakat Batak Indonesia, dengan kebanyakan campuran ini berlaku pada zaman moden.
Secara sejarah, gabungan budaya ini muncul semasa penghijrahan besar-besaran masyarakat Batak Indonesia ke Malaysia pada pertengahan abad ke-21. Ramai individu Batak, terutamanya dari kawasan utara Sumatera, datang ke Malaysia untuk mencari peluang pekerjaan yang lebih baik dalam sektor perindustrian yang berkembang, terutamanya di bandar-bandar seperti Pulau Pinang, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, dan Johor Bahru.
Mereka yang berhijrah ini, kebanyakannya dari komuniti Batak, mencari pekerjaan dalam industri pembuatan yang pesat berkembang, menyumbang kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi Malaysia. Semasa mereka menetap di kawasan bandar, mereka bertemu dengan komuniti India tempatan, terutamanya komuniti Tamil, yang telah menjadi sebahagian daripada masyarakat Malaysia selama berabad-abad.
Lama kelamaan, penghijrah Batak-Indonesia ini dan masyarakat India tempatan membentuk hubungan dan berkahwin, mencipta identiti budaya dan etnik baru yang menggabungkan pengaruh Indonesia dan India. Gabungan budaya ini jelas dapat dilihat dalam kehidupan seharian keturunan mereka, yang menggabungkan elemen-elemen daripada kedua-dua tradisi India dan Batak. Anak-anak daripada perkahwinan ini membesar dengan pengaruh daripada kedua-dua budaya, menggabungkan bahasa, tradisi, masakan, dan amalan dalam satu identiti budaya yang unik dan harmoni.
Saat ini, keturunan dari pernikahan campuran ini mengidentifikasi diri mereka dengan akar India dan Indonesia mereka, merangkul warisan multikultural yang menjadi inti dari identitas mereka. Banyak individu dengan akar Indesia terus tinggal di daerah perkotaan seperti Penang, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, dan Johor Bahru, di mana pengaruh budaya India dan Indonesia tetap kuat.

Tarian Burung Enggang

Tarian Burung Enggang atau biasa disebut Tarian Datun Julud adalah sebuah tarian Suku Dayak Kenyah di Kalimantan Timur, Indonesia dan Sarawak, Malaysia. Tari Burung Enggang menjadi tarian wajib dalam setiap upacara adat Suku Dayak Kenyah. Tari Burung Enggang menggambarkan kehidupan sehari-hari burung enggang yang biasanya dibawakan oleh wanita-wanita muda Suku Dayak Kenyah.
Datun Julud dikatakan telah dicipta oleh seorang raja suku Dayak Kenyah di Apo Kayan bernama Nyik Selung, untuk melambangkan kebahagiaan dan rasa syukur kepada Maha Dewa atas kelahiran cucunya. Selepas peristiwa tersebut, tarian Datun Julud terus diminati dalam kalangan masyarakat sekitarnya dan terus berkembang ke kawasan daerah lain di Sarawak.
Seorang penari solo, seorang wanita yang berkaki ayam, biasanya memulakan tarian, bergerak secara spontan untuk mencontohi burung enggang yang sedang terbang. Dengan perlahan-lahan, penari menggerakkan tangannya, kaki dan tubuh, memberi tumpuan supaya kepala kekal tegak dan bergerak supaya mengekalkan anting-antingnya; perhiasan tembaga berat yang rebeh dari paras bahu panjang - daripada bergoyang terlalu banyak.
Selepas selesai menari, wanita lain mengambil tempat, dan ini berterusan sehingga semua wanita di rumah panjang masing-masing telah mengambil giliran mereka. Setiap kali, tarian itu dilakukan oleh sekumpulan sehingga empat wanita.
Pada masa dahulu, tarian ini dipersembahkan sewaktu perayaan kemasyarakatan bagi menyambut kepulangan para pahlawan dari berburu, atau sewaktu perayaan tahunan yang menandakan tamatnya musim menuai. Kini, tarian ini dipersembahkan pada hari-hari kebesaran atau untuk meraikan kedatangan pelawat ke rumah panjang terutamanya pelancong dari luar negeri. Kebiasaanya, tarian Datun Julud ini dipersembahkan pada waktu petang oleh sekumpulan wanita.
Tarian ini diiringi bunyi alat muzik sape dan dipersembahkan oleh penari-penari wanita, menggunakan kipas tangan anggun yang diperbuat daripada bulu burung kenyalang yang melambangkan sayap burung suci tersebut.
Penari biasanya memakai kain sarung berwarna-warni dan topi tradisional yang panjang, yang dihiasi dengan bulu yang menonjol yang melambangkan dewa. Untuk melambangkan sayap burung enggang itu, penari memegang kipas tangan yang diperbuat daripada bulu burung suci.
Di Long Busang pada masa kini, aksesori wanitanya telah diubah mengikut syariat Islam yakni para penari wanitanya bertudung dan mengenakan baju yang menutup bahagian lengan tetapi masih mengekalkan ciri-ciri anggun penari Datun Julud.

Голям чардак

Голям чардак е село в Южна България. Намира се в община Съединение, област Пловдив.
Намира се в Горнотракийската низина, в долината на река Пясъчник. Климатът е преходноконтинентален, а почвите са плодородни и богати на хумус.
До 1878 година името на селото е Български чардак.
Според свидетелства на посетили селото през 1861 година американски мисионери, той има 400 жители българи, като се отбелязва голямата им бедност. Селото има свой представител на Оборищенското събрание (1876), а негови жители взимат участие в Априлското въстание. От старото село стои само кръстът на старата църква Св. Никола. Новата църква Св. Петка е построена през 1850 г. Училището е построено от Стоил Кашилски. В Голям чардак е издигнат 20 метров пилон с кръст. На пилона вече се развява националното знаме с дължина 5 метра и ширина 3 метра, а през нощните часове се осветява от специално монтирани лампи. Починът на семейство Челибашки се посвещава на 100-годишнината от Балканската война, в която загиват 17 участника от Български чардак и е издигнат в съседство с паметника и паметните плочи с имената на загиналите за свободата на България.
Улиците не са асфалтирани, с изключение Републикански път III-606 и пътят Голям чарак — Съединение. Съществува черен път към Царимир, който пресича без мост река Пясъчник.
Съществуват автобусни връзки към Пловдив.
ОУ „Христо Ботев“ (закрито през 2008 г.), читалище „Обзорник“ (за известно време носи името „Стоил Кашилски“), основано през 1927 г., паметник на Съветската армия, здравен участък, целодневна детска градина „Авлига“, водоскок, хоремаг, пивница „Синдбад“, църква „Света Петка“ (1850).
Зърно и зеленчукопроизводство, животновъдство. По-голямата част от населението разчита на пенсии, социални помощи и отчисления от местния кооператив.
В селото има фурна към кооператива. През 2009 г. къпалнята е преустроена на универсален магазин.
Недалеч от селото се намира радарна станция МРЛ5-IRIS към Изпълнителна агенция „Борба с Градушките‟.
В селото има цех за пластмасови изделия „ДБ Ппластмаса технология“ ЕООД.
Обичаен за селото е карловският говор. Думата „картоф‟ се използва само в единствено число, често се използват следните думи: „балтия“, „бичкия“, „ваджия“, „галиба‟, „гачели“, „дали‟ (като „да‟ в отговор на „нали‟), „драгунка‟ „завана‟, „икиндия‟, „иклюк‟, „кина“ (късам), „кръпел‟ (сопа), „лани‟, „навартявам‟ (цапам), „налягам‟ (в основния ѝ смисъл), „нанка‟ (обръщение към дете), „омлатвам‟, „орталък‟, „постал‟, „сабале‟, „скаръщисвам‟, „сколасвам‟, „унука‟, „хортувам‟ и т.н. „Лук‟ и „чеснов лук‟ се използват за „чесън‟, за allium cepa се използва „кромид‟.
По улиците на селото няма означение за имената им и не е известно дали всички са наименовани. В интернет се срещат точни адреси на учреждения в Голям чардак, което показва, че все пак имена има, макар и да не се използват от местното население.
От 2008 г. в селото се извършва сметосъбиране и сметоизвозване.
Чардак

Чардакът е архитектурен елемент, характерен най-вече за старите къщи в България и Северна Македония, както и в Сърбия, който представлява издадено и открито към външната среда (градина, улица и др.) пространство от една сграда, оформено най-често на втория или по-горен етаж на старите къщи по населените места в България и някои други балкански страни. Той е подобен на терасата, но за разлика от нея, чардакът е покрит отгоре, а доста често и отстрани, т.е. има отворена една или най-много две страни.
Има много примери на сгради, особено в Жеравна, където чардакът (известен също като кьошк) се затваря и отпред с дървени капаци през зимните месеци.
В родопската къща е известен като пото̀н. Той има значителни размери, компенсиращ липсата на голям двор. Потонът е открит, остъклен или закрит с решетки. В по-ново време има няколко кьошка.
