KOKORI is one of the six suburban 'states' of the Agbon 'kingdom' in LGA Ethiope East, Delta State, Nigeria. The other 'states' are Okpara, Eku, Ovu, Orhoakpor, and Igun.[1]

Geography

Its land area is 196 square kilometres and is blessed with a period of downpour which lasts seven months (from March to October) and a relative five months of little or no rain (from October to February). It has twenty nine streets and roads; and it is surrounded by thirty village communities, including Samagidi a rapidly developing township. Network of streams and creeks cuts across different parts of Kokori territory. Three major streams are identifiable: the Omwe stream on Eku road, Iranzo stream on Orogun road and Erhanaka stream on Kokori – Ofuoma road.[2]

It is a hinterland bounded by Eku and Igun on the north; by Ugono, Orhomaru, Erhobaro, Ovara and Idionvwan villages all in Orogun, on the east; on the west by Isiokolo and Okpara Inland in Agbon 'sub-nation'; and by Awirhe in Agbara and Odovie in Ughelli on the south.[3]

The entire Kokori land is flat and situated in the evergreen tropical forest zone which is dominated by the oil palm tree.[4]

History

Kokori's original name was 'Ukori' and her people were called 'Uhwokori', an abbreviation of 'Ihwo-ru-Ukori'. The Uhwerun people changed the name to 'Tokori' when Agbon people led by Ukori, their ancestral father, migrated to stay on their land. British colonial administrators further changed the name to Kokori which she now bears. Five waves of migration birthed Kokori. First, from Benin to Asseh. Second, from Asseh to Irri. Third, from Irri to Uhwerun. A fourth migration graced the face of Urhobo history when they migrated to Isiokolo. In 1606 A.D, the incessant invasions and the conspiracy against the Kokori people because of the discord which bedevilled the four Agbon families- Okpara, Ukori, Eku and Orhoakpor- made Isiokolo turbulent and the Agbon families began to migrate to their respective present sites.[5]

Mentifacts

Kokori is cradle for the Igbe religion which began in 1858; founded by Ubiecha of Egbo Street in Kokori. Although it had no written constitution like the Decalogue of ancient Israel, it was able to mould Kokori society into one worthy of stay. The Igbe religion spread to many destinations beyond Kokori and the Urhobo nation at large.[6] In fact, based on its monotheistic vocation and puritan practices, it gained international platform – a congregation was established in London for the adherents in that destination.[7]

As regards her festivals, three festivals rear their terrific heads – Egba, Orerode and Ibi festivals respectively. The Egba festival celebrates the Egba fetish; the Orerode festival celebrates the ancestors of the Kokori people while the Ibi festival commemorates the gun fires that were fired against the invaders who threatened their sovereignty. The Egba and Orerode festivals are celebrated annually while the Ibi festival is celebrated once in a century.[8]

Demographics

Kokori people speak one tongue- urhobo. Kokori does not frown at intra-marriage and neither does it not smile at inter-marriage which enhances integration. In the first quarter of the twentieth century, Christianity was introduced to Kokori via the arrival of the Roman Catholic Mission in 1905 in Umiahwa quarter of the town; the Anglican Mission at Urhuokpokpo quarter in 1927; and the Baptist Mission in 1945. Thus, most of the people practice Christianity; some the Igbe religion which originated in Kokori in the pre-colonial era and found its way to the contemporary era and other parts of Nigeria; few, traditional faith; and, a very few, Islam.[9]

Administration

Kokori is divided into three administrative quarters- Alaka, Urhuokpokpo and Umiahwa. And the Okarorho is the administrative head of the town, in the absence of the Ovie. He rules by a council (Ehonvwore). The okarorho's spokesman is the otota who also is the spokesman of the town.[10]

Mineral resources

In 1958, Shell Petroleum Development Company carried out an exploration work which led to the discovery of crude oil on Kokori soil. She has over twenty oil wells and second best crude oil in the world by reason of its low sulphur content. In 1994, Kokori generated N68 billion for the federal government of Nigeria.[11]

“Is that seat open?”
a moments pause....
“I said, is that seat open?”

The man two seats away quickly got up and left instead of answering the guy’s question.
Who asks random people if the other seat at a sit-down restaurant is open? The questioner, a rather tall man with a thick brown beard and wearing a white tee with a rather large yellow stain towards the bottom, had been making a circuit of the room asking each table if their seat was open.

 Maybe I should just leave the room before the guy gets to me. I really hate these awkward moments with anybody and will do nearly anything to avoid them. In fact, I didn’t even really know why I was still here. I had finished my meal and was just sitting here drinking my coffee watching this guy make his way around..As he drew closer, I went back to my newspaper and flipped to the sports section, hoping he wouldn’t notice me.

“Is that seat open?”
“what?.... No, no it’s not open.” He sits across from me anyways and immediately grabbed my paper and started reading it. Everyone was staring. After about a minute in he looked up.
“I saw that no one was sitting with you and was planning on sitting with you a little bit after I entered the restaurant.” He calmly said this as he was turning my newspaper around.
“Why do you read the newspaper at night? Isn’t it typically more of an early morning ritual for people?” I just glared at him. Why can’t he just leave me alone?

“Why are you here, sitting with me? What if I was waiting for someone?” He ignored me and continued flipping through the news. This continued for at least another minute and I would’ve stopped him but honestly I didn’t even know how to go about stopping him. After a few moments he abruptly slapped the paper down and looked me in the eyes.

“I really like this restaurant, and I don’t like eating alone. You looked bored so I decided I would sit with you, besides who goes to a sit-down restaurant and eats alone?”

“Well, I enjoy eating alone; it allows me time to think.”

“You’re a pensive fellow; I bet you live by yourself” He said quickly as he was pointing at my bare left ring finger. “And, I bet you don’t have a girlfriend because who has a sit-down meal on a Saturday night by himself?”

“Two of us clearly.”

“Hahaha! You know I wasn’t planning on eating alone when I came in here. You did see me ask all of those people, didn’t you?” There was a pause as i drank my coffee and gave him the point. At this point i didn’t see a point in trying to take it from him.

“Tom, is it alright if i call you Tom? You look like a Tom.”
“My name isn’t Tom; it’s …” He just barreled on his way.
“Right Tom, I’m going to order a drink. Do you want a drink? You know what? I’m just going to get you one too. I hate drinking alone” As he said this he waved the waiter over and ordered two drinks and then looked back down at the paper for a bit.

“You know you didn’t have to buy me that. I make plenty of money from my accounting job and my name isn’t Tom; it’s....”

“Listen, I don’t want to sound rude, but i honestly don’t give a rat’s ass what your name is or what you do for a living. I just wanted to come here and buy somebody something.” The drinks came and he grabbed his and downed it in a few gulps. I just sipped at mine and stared across the table at him.

A drink later, he spoke up again.
“Am I making you uncomfortable?”

“Yes, well not really anymore.” Everyone had stopped staring, and i was approaching the end of my first drink.

“Why am I making you uncomfortable? Is it that I’m wearing this ugly, stained white tee when I came in or was it that you were one of the last tables i asked? (I assure you if you’re worrying that I chose tables in no particular order, so it is nothing against you). In fact, if you’ll permit me to say...”
“It doesn’t look like i have a choice.”
“No, no of course not. Anyways Tom, I was going to say that you would make a rather splendid first impression if you talked more. But back to my original question. Why am i making you uncomfortable?” I paused for a few moments and took a sip to buy me more time.

“well.... I don’t know. It’s just when i came here i was sort of making the decision to eat here by myself and then you showed up and ruined my night.”

“I don’t think that is the real reason and it insults me when you say that ‘i’ ruined your night. Tom ma’ boy, it was an admirable lie you told me there. I bet you don’t even realize it was a lie. Allow me to explain.”
“Please do.”
“You’re, quite simply, uncomfortable with me crushing your social norms. You’re so used to life just happening for you. I bet you majored in something that would be ‘useful’ outside of college and would have an immediate job waiting for you because you were too scared to try something different. And to top it off, I bet you really didn’t even necessarily make that decision yourself. You allowed yourself to get talked into it, just like you’ve allowed me to call you Tom for the past 15 minutes when your name clearly isn’t Tom.”

I was quiet for another minute thinking about what he said. As i was about to open my mouth with a reply, he launched onwards.

“I think you were alone tonight because you plainly haven’t just gone up and asked anybody out to come eat with you. You sat here with your paper killing time, really just waiting for someone, anyone, to come talk to you.” Another pause as he gulped down the glass of water the waiter brought, letting it spill all down the front of him in a rather disturbing manner.

 I quickly got out my wallet gave him five dollars.
“Thank you for the drinks but i really have to go.”
“Of course you do.... Goodnight Tom.”
“Good bye.”
I turned and hurried out into the night.

_Freja Nicholson lost her life to melanoma at just 18 years old. (Photo: Facebook/Freja Nicholson)_

Although the American Cancer Society warns that melanoma is one of the most common cancers in young adults, we are still surprised to hear of cases affecting those under the age of 30. But Jennifer Nicholson from Leeds in the U.K. wants people to know that it can happen to you. Her daughter, Freja, passed away from skin cancer last November at the age of 18.

She says fair-skinned Freja frequently spent hot British summers outside. “There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t wish I could go back and just take five minutes to put sun cream on her delicate young skin when I mistakenly thought there was no danger,” Jennifer told the _Mirror_.

Nicholson spotted a mole on her daughter’s back four years before she died, and it grew from small and brown to lumpy and black. Doctors cut out the mole and did a biopsy on it, but the mole tested negative for cancer. A couple of years later, when Freja was getting pounding headaches, doctors discovered a new lump on her arm. It measured five centimeters, extending under the skin. It was melanoma.

The cancer spread to Freja’s brain, as a scan revealed a stage 3 tumor and a poor prognosis. Doctors removed the tumor, but the cancer returned in the brain, breast, arm, and lung. Even while Freja was ill, her mother recalled that she was in good spirits. She helped raise more than $10,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust before passing away in late 2015.

“It was only then I remembered that mole on her back,” Nicholson said. “I asked if they were related and doctors gently told me I should in no way have let our guard down. … If I’d known, I would have had her covered from head to toe — even in the U.K. sun — but I never dreamt it could lead to cancer.”

Nicholson remembers being extra cautious when her daughters were on vacation, making sure they wore sunscreen with ample SPF. However, at home in England, she mistakenly believed the sun was not “fierce enough to kill.” She told the _Mirror_ that she still suffers from guilt, wishing she could have helped prevent Freja’s death — and she is urging other parents to help guard their kids from the harsh effects of UV radiation. “Don’t make the same mistake, because you will never ever forgive yourself,” she said.

Like most cancers, skin cancer risk increases with age, according to J. Matthew Knight, MD, section chief of dermatology at Orlando Health. “Pediatric melanoma does happen, though, and it is devastating,” he tells Yahoo Beauty. “I tell people that skin cancer acts kind of like lung cancer does with smoking. You don’t get it right away. All the sun damage that we accumulate in our youth ‘hides’ in our DNA for an average of 25 to 30 years until the skin cancer forms.” Sometimes, that timeline speeds up and results in terrible consequences.

It’s incredibly important to protect adolescents from the sun, says Knight. “Once the damage occurs, there’s nothing that can be done to reverse it,” he says. “You just have to follow up carefully with your dermatologist and hope to catch something as early as possible.”

One in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer, and Knight says 90 percent of those cancers are directly attributable to UV exposure. “On average, a person’s risk for melanoma [like Freja had], one of the most serious skin cancers that can be fatal, doubles if they’ve had more than five sunburns,” he says. Tanning beds should also be avoided completely, especially by teens. Using one before age 35 increases your risk of melanoma by 75 percent.

Knight says daily application of sunscreen with SPF 15 or higheris one essential tool for preventing cancer — but not the only tool. “You have to make use of cover-ups, protective hats and shirts, umbrellas, and seek shade during the sun’s peak hours or 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,” he says.

According to the CDC, only 13 percent of teen girls and seven percent of teen boys report swiping on SPF 15 sunblock when they’re outside on a sunny day. Over the past year, one third of teens between the ages of 14 and 17 have ended up with a sunburn, a major risk factor for skin cancer.

Nicholson does not want any other young people to suffer her daughter’s fate. She is determined to create a legacy for Freja and raise awareness about the risks of sun exposure. “I tell any parent to keep an eye on any moles on their children,” she told the _Mirror_, and “to do everything they can to protect the whole family from the sun, wherever you are.”
