Arondizuogu is a town inhabited by the Igbo subgroup, the Aro people in the Imo State of Nigeria.
Geographical Location[edit]
Arondizuogu is a group of sprawling communities with the largest area located in the land obtained from Umualaoma town (formerly Isiokpu). Some believe that this land was obtained by begging, trickery, guerrilla warfare and open massacre of people from Umualaoma. However, this is a matter of perspective.
Arondizuogu is in Imo State of Nigeria. Most of the wars were stopped by one powerful charismatic Patriarch of the host community (Isokpu) by the name Ezerioha Udensi of Obiokwara, Obinihu, Umualaoma(Isuokpu). Ezerioha has subsequently organised peaceful allocation or donation of land by different villages and towns close to Arondizuogu after cleverly discovering that Arondizuogu people cannot go back to Aro Chukwu.
Arondizuogu communities are spread out into three local government areas: Ideato North, Okigwe and Onuimo according to the various indigenous villages were the lands were obtained through the same means.
Arondizuogu was founded by the use of force by Mazi Izuogu Mgbokpo and Chief Iheme in the mid-18th century. Izuogu Mgbokpo was a charismatic slave merchant who came from Arochukwu to Awka in search of slaves. He was usually harbored by a friend from Umualaoma where he slept when going in search of slaves and with his goods (slaves. Iheme, himself, was his Chief Servant and he came from Isi-Akpu Nise, in Awka. .Iheme and his master Izuogu used all the arsenals at their disposal including the slaves, juju, guns and the equipments for securing slaves which they sold to the European slave merchants Arondizuogu people refer to themselves as "Izuogu na Iheme".
Early in the 19th century, Mazi Okoli Idozuka was an immigrant from Isi-Akpu Nise to Arondizuogu. As a great slave warrior, he expanded Arondizuogu's boundaries. He later changed his name to Okoro Idozuka, an Aro equivalent of his former name. He was a wealthy ruthless and almost conscienceless slave trader like Izuogu Mgbokpo but was also a great leader. Nwankwo Okoro was the first son of Okoro Idozuka. At the age of 21 he joined his father in the slave trade. *[1] By collecting slaves and war-captives he was able to build a very large family. When the British came, they made him a Warrant Chief because they believed he could subdue any body and collect the tax they desperately needed for they them. Until this day, Arondizuogu is the biggest former Aro colony and a land of immigrants settling mainly on the rich land.
Historical sites[edit]
Some Places of Interest in Arondizuogu include Mazi Mbonu Ojike Cottage (Village home of Nigeria's late "BOYCOTT KING"), Mazi Mbonu Ojike at Ndiakeme Uno; Uno Ogologo (a safe house built in 1887 for hiding children during the slave trade era); The Stone Palace (a storey building cast in stone erected by late Chief Green Mbadiwe, West Africa's first millionaire for his father,Umualaoma Nkwo Ochie (old Nkwo).
Mbadiwe Odum at Ndianiche Uno); Ngeze (legendary stream at Ndiakeme Uno); Ogbuti Ezumezu (exotic visitor's chamber of Ikeji music maestro Pericomo Okoye at Ndiogbuonyeoma Ofe Imo; LN Motel Plaza, Home Diamond Hotel (luxury hospitality rendezvous at Ndiawa); National High School, Arondizuogu (pioneer model school built by community effort and commissioned in 1951 at Ndiakeme Uno); Iheme Memorial Secondary School (second model school built by community effort and commissioned 1951 at Ndianiche Uno); Palace of The People (legendary country home of grandiloquent Nigerian politician, Dr. K.O. Mbadiwe at Ndianiche Uno commissioned by late Prime minister, Alhaji Tafawa Balewa in 1965); Upiti (expansive rice fields at Akeme Ohiauchu); Obi Omenuko, homestead of Igwegbe Odum (Omenuko), the hero of Pita Nwana's book; Ngene Okwe (natural spring at Ndiawa). Obi Ezerioha in Obiokwara, Obinihu (Agbualla) Umualaoma where the agreement for the peaceful donation of several portions of land presently occupied by Arondizuogu were signed not only by Isuokpu but also by other towns and villages that Ezerioha Udensi encouraged to donate land to Arondizuogu, thus significantly signifying transition from bestiality to civility; Ndiogbu onye oma (people famous for killing good and handsome or beautiful people and selling their relations to slave dealers).
Geography and people[edit]
Ndi izuogu live many local governments in Imo State. Although they have almost the same dialect with the group of Igbos in Anambra state, apart from Ndi Uche (the controversial first son of Izuogu)that still retain another dialect. The local Government they inhabit include Okigwe, Ideato North and Onuimo.
Arondizuogu is made up of 20 Towns and 10 Autonomous Communities. Each autonomous has its own "Eze" (as the traditional ruler recognised by the State Government are called) viz: Awa - Izuogu Autonomous Community (which is the Crown Head of Arondizuogu) with HRH Eze Oliver Mbadiwe Dike III (Eze Ozuomba) who succeeded his late father HRM Eze John Anyaogu Dike II (Ezediohanma), Ndiuche Autonomous Community with HRH Eze Jonas.E Uche, Iheme Autonomous Community with HRH Eze Kossman Ndubuisi Kanu, Ejezie Izuogu Autonomous Community with HRH Eze Dr. M.O. Kanu (Ochiri ozuo), Akeme Autonomous Community with HRH Eze Michael Nwosu(ugo ocha), Aro-Umuduru Autonomous community with HRH Eze Obioha Okereke, and Aro-Amuro Autonomous Community with HRH Eze Prof. Green Onyekaba Nwankwo as their traditional rulers.
There are 20 Towns in Arondizuogu. Some of these Towns claim to be the original sons of Izuogu while some are not aborigines to Izuogu. It is still controversial on the Issue of the first son of Izuogu. The Uche people (Ndi Uche)still claim to be the first son of Izuogu despite the fact that Awa (Ndi Awa)was taken and blessed by Izuogu as the first son.

Arondizuogu day[edit]
Instituted in 1948, 'Arondizuogu Day' which is an annual end-of year convention of people of Arondizuogu descent resident in Nigeria and the Diaspora. It is a day set aside to celebrate achievements, review challenges, and generally keep the flag of patriotism flying in the community. For the culture – loving people of Arondizuogu, the day is a special annual homecoming which they celebrate with much aplomb comparable only to their popular Ikeji Festival which is touted to be "the greatest carnival of masks and masquerades in Africa".
Ikeji cultural festival of Arondizuogu in Imo State is a popular festival that brings the Igbo speaking community around the world together. Its origin dates back to over five centuries and it is acclaimed as the biggest pan-Igbo cultural community festival with strong heritage, international recognition and is witnessed by thousands of people on a yearly basis. It is arguably the biggest cultural festival in Igboland. In contemporary times, each passing year has witnessed an increase in grandeur, display, dance, sophistication and an all inclusive participation of all Arondizuogu people and friends. The festival is marked with colourful display of different masquerades such as Ogionu, Mgbadike, Nwaaburuja and Ozoebune; prestigiously parading across the market square to the admiration of the public. The essence of the festival, which ranks among the best surviving traditional ceremonies of the Arondizuogu people, is to celebrate the harvest of the first yams. It serves to unify and foster ties among Aro people who are spread across the entire Igbo speaking states and part of Cross River state. It appeals to the entire Igbo speaking peoples both at home and in the Diaspora.
Ikeji is a four-day festival of propitiation, thanksgiving and feasting which is held annually in March or April. Reckoned with the Igbo calendar, these four days correspond to one Igbo week of four market days (Eke, Oye/Orie, Afo and Nkwo). Each of these days has a special significance and represents one of the several dimensions of Ikeji – a festival renowned for sumptuous feasting, fascinating masquerades, pulsating rhythms, and colourful performances. Traditional musical instruments used to accompany the masquerades are ekwe (wooden slit drum) of various sizes, ogene (metal gong), bells, maracas and oja (wooden flutes). The flutist is a very important element in the ikeji festival. He deftly communicates with the masquerades - weaving soulful melodies and blending esoteric messages into the intoxicating rhythm of the drums. Another interesting aspect of ikeji is the raconteur known as ima mbem - an imaginative tale delivered with a musical cadence that only the initiated can sometimes understand or comprehend. The importance of the flutist during Ikeji festival is very vital, for he communicates things hidden from the ordinary eyes to the masquerades, combined with soulful melodies, steps and gestures, "blending esoteric messages into the intoxicating rhythm of the drums" to the admiration of the crowd.
During Ikeji festival,ON THE LAST DAY, a ram is usually tied to a pole at a popular market square with a single thread.Somebody with the strongest protection from any juju of whatever type is expected to leisurely walk to the ram amids heavy attempt with juju from other people to knock him down, maim him or kill him.Only the brave can participate in, while the NOT SO BRAVE will either abstain from or remain with the crowd as spectators. Only the brave can stand forward from the crowd, one after another and approach the tree with a view to untying the ram. However, each contender will be attacked by forces which are beyond the scope of this article to explain, with a view to stopping him reaching the ram. If overwhelmed, he will beat a retreat back to his starting point. Until eventually, the bravest among the masquerades participating in the competition for that year's festival, after overcoming all odds, will reach the ram and untie it and take it, to a thunderous applause by the spectators. This will be followed by visits to his house by fellow kinsmen with food and wine for elevating the status of his village. Each year this is used to commemorate the person in Arondizuogu and neighbouring towns with the strongest juju or voodoo power.
Arondizuogu Patriotic Union[edit]
Arondizuogu Patriotic Union (APU) is the umbrella organisation of all Arondizuogu communities in Nigeria and the Diaspora. Established in 1932 in Aba, APU is one of the earliest and most enduring organs of community development set up by an Igbo clan in colonial Nigeria. The youngmen of Arondizuogu who laid the foundation for APU left their homes for the first time in the 1920s and early 1930s to seek a better life in the emerging urban centres of colonial Nigeria. They found themselves in social, economic and political environments different from the life they knew at home. Refusing to be intimated or alienated, they held on to that deep feeling of love for the community with which they grew up. They assembled at Aba on October 8, 1932 to aggregate ideas on how best to convey the concomitants of modern development with which they were surrounded in the city (such as wide roads, schools, hospitals, post offices, portable water, electricity, court rooms, etc.)to their village community.

Concert aria en
A concert aria is normally a free-standing aria or opera-like scene composed for singer and orchestra, written specifically for performance in concert rather than as part of an opera. Concert arias have usually been composed for particular singers, the composer always bearing that singer's voice and skill in mind when composing the work. Apart from only denoting loose arias for singer and orchestra, the term is also used to indicate arias which were specifically composed for insertion into already-existing operas, either as additions to the score or as substitutions for other arias. These are sometimes performed in concerts because they are no longer required for their original purpose, though they were not, strictly speaking, composed for performance in concert. The concert arias which are most commonly performed today were written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but there are many examples by other composers, such as: Son qual nave ch'agitata by Riccardo Broschi Ermina by Juan Arriaga Ah perfido! by Ludwig van Beethoven Der Wein for soprano and orchestra by Alban Berg Phaedra by Benjamin Britten Scena di Berenice by Joseph Haydn [ - ]

Golf Buzz
One of the great advances in golf over the past few years has been....in their marketing. Ads specifically, those awesome, fun, viral ads that companies such as Nike, Callaway, PING, Titleist and TaylorMade have been putting out in hopes that they invade everyone's Facebook and Twitter feeds. And guess what? They're working. People love them.
Certainly, commercials have always been important - but the way companies have "stepped up their game" in the last few years has shown the importance of the "earned media" impression. Hoping an ad catches the public fancy enough for them to "like, retweet or share" through their various social channels.
TaylorMade's lastest video, titled "Speed Police" is a great example of such an ad. From a first person perspective, it leads the viewer through a typical clubhouse, course, range and back to clubhouse via the eyes of a (mini) police car. The point? Actually, trying to enforce the need for speed (in clubs). (Perhaps a bit counterintuitive with police demanding speed, but it works here.) And, can't lie, the cameo by Miss Paulina Gretzky will probably help drive some social shares too, right?
Last year, Nike Golf led the way with their "Sorry Mr. Tiger" and "No Cup is Safe" ads. This year, you can expect to see a whole slew of similar ads - all more creative, clever and engaging than the last. And the winner of this blitz? Us, the consumer. We will laugh, smile and discuss them for months to come. Whether it directly leads you to the nearest pro shop to make a purchase or not, it will get you talking about a particular brand. And then, they are winners too.
Tell us, what's your favorite golf ad ever? Share with us on our Facebook page.

As the Waste Management Phoenix Open enjoys another raucous and enthusiastic crowd, I posed a question as to whether the fan experience at the annual party at TPC Scottsdale was actually a better "fan experience" than the uber-hyped Super Bowl.
It got me thinking. What are the best fan experiences in golf?
This seemed easy - or so I thought.
A fan experience can take many forms. Is it seeing top players (Hello Augusta!)? Is it being able to be loud and rowdy (Goodbye Augusta!). Is it seeing a beautiful course (Hello Augusta again!). Let's just define it as: something you'll enjoy, remember and treasure.
Here are five of my most notable, listed by date. But we want to know yours, as well. Join the conversation on our Facebook page.
The Waste Management Phoenix Open. Jan. 30-Feb. 2. It's a combination of Mardi Gras, a college pep rally, a Friday night bar crawl - oh, and some of the world's best players. All the attention (rightfully) is on the 16th hole where the crowd is always the star of the show, but the entire tournament, course and city is pretty much one carnival for the largest crowds in golf. If you believe that beer, sundresses and sunshine make for a good time - this is your event.
The Masters. April 10-13. What's the complete opposite of the Waste Management Phoenix Open? This. Meticulous grooming of the course, sweet tea and lemonade is often the drink of choice. Lots of blazers (look for the green ones!) walking the fairways. Great prices on food. You know virtually every hole on the course. And every golfer in the world wants to be there. There are more rules in place here (no running ... ever. No laying down, no cameras/cell phones on tournament days, etc.) but virtually every golf fan in the world is happy to abide. It's that awesome.
The Players Championship. May 8-11. Here it all boils down to one hole - the famous 17th. The island green has become more than a favored viewing spot, it has become a Shakespearean tragedy - being played 145 times (for two days at least), and again 140+ times on the weekend. The crowd sits on the bank and "ooohs" and "ahhhhhs" at every shot. The shot is so simple, and yet, no lead is safe. For sheer lump in the throat and kick in the gut intensity, watch a few groups come through this hole on Sunday. You'll remember it the rest of your life.

Play the ball as it lies!
Unless...it's on an alligator.
(Tip of the cap to my friend @ryanballengee for finding this gem (via mysuncoast.com).)
North Port, Fla., resident Jack Dupre was playing out at Myakka Pines golf course when he hit a somewhat wayward shot. A shot that could have very well ended up in the hazard ended up - well, in a different kind of hazard. Pretty sure it's a free drop (if you can get the ball).
His playing partners did what all good playing partners would do. No, not consult a rule book, call the pro shop, caution their friend about safety....no, they grabbed their phones and started taking pictures.

Recurring end date
How to I set the end date for a recurring task.
sybtax: every monday until june 10 2013
would the above complete on June 10th?
All responses
Hi Victor,
At the current moment it's not possible, but we will consider adding such an option in the future.
You're welcome to vote for this request in our Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote/showProposal/214/
For now, you can either delete the task or, before the last event occurs, set it to the single specific date in order to "complete" it.
Or, right-click on the task and choose "Move to history" or hold the SHIFT key while checking it off which will force-move any task to history.
I just ran into the problem. I need to call someone everyday at 2 pm for the next 4 days.
So I have to schedule a separate task for the next 4 days?
Or have you added this feature yet? Recurring events without end dates is a real shortcoming. :'-(
It has now been added, though using SHIFT and checking it off will remove it for good.
Thanks for the quick reply!
So there is no programmable end date; so I can't enter tue, wed, thu, fri. @ 2 pm. One has to do it manually when the task has been completed? :-S
My last reply was supposed to say has "not" been added. The SHIFT feature has always been there. That is the only option at this time.
Thanks for clearing that up. Really need that calendar app don't we. (star)
Is there an update on end date for recurring tasks? Would appreciate if this was enabled (unless it already has been added and I just haven't found how to put it to use)
Also wondering about if this has been implemented?? I really need the option of setting ie. every 7 day and end it at a specific date..
Any news about that?
Hi Brendon,
I'm also still wondering about this much needed feature as I expressed to Support in the couple of years I've been with ToDoist. I remember it was actually the second most sought after request when you had the Vote options. (Last time I checked this was taken down.)
I appreciate the nature of developing for multiple platforms, yet I'd still be curious for direct feedback from the development team as to what the issue with adding this might be. I mean it in fact should actually be relatively simple update - especially when compared to some of the more extensive ones that the developers have been able to incorporate.
Thanks in advance for the feedback from yourself, David or anyone else there 'watching'.

This vintage rhinestone brooch really packs a lot of sparkling punch with its large pear-shaped center stone surrounded by layers of navettes (marquis) stones. Not marked since Juliana (DeLizza & Elster) pieces were originally sold with only paper hang tags when they were new. Measures about 3" long including the twin stems and just under 2" wide. Condition is excellent with bright stones and virtually no plating wear.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXEL) announced today that the company has entered into an agreement with Deerfield Management, a leading healthcare investment organization and significant Exelixis stockholder, to provide Exelixis with up to $150.0 million in financing through a flexible credit facility. The funds can be drawn at any time over the next 18 months at Exelixis' discretion. Exelixis is under no obligation to draw on the facility and can terminate the facility agreement without penalty at any time. Funds drawn will be repayable five years after signing of the facility agreement and can be repaid in shares of Exelixis common stock, subject to certain restrictions, or cash at any time during the term of the agreement.
"This transaction significantly increases our financial strength and
flexibility over the next 18 months, even if we don't draw on the
facility," said George A. Scangos, PhD, president and chief executive
officer of Exelixis. "We expect that the next few months will provide key
insights into our pipeline, the future of our existing collaborations, and
potential new collaborations. The Deerfield facility gives us the time to
see our way through this period of major pipeline and business milestones
and puts us in a position of strength as we advance our various partnering
discussions. We are in discussions for a number of transactions, and we
want to make sure that we have the ability to work through our options,
taking into account the outcome of some of the important milestones that we
expect to reach later this year. Our objective is to maximize the long-term
value from the development of our pipeline and by having the Deerfield
facility in place, we hav
