Nigerian / African Broom (igbale)

Product Information

Going into voting day, some polls have Mr. Obi leading the presidential race. To win in the first round, a candidate must garner the most votes, including at least 25% of the votes in two-thirds of the country’s 36 states and the capital, Abuja. So a runoff election is a possibility.

Most Nigerians think of brooms differently today. In 2015, the All Progressives Congress (APC) crafted a new significance for brooms in the minds of Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora.Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” The Flying Broom ( Turkish: Uçan Süpürge) is a feminist organization in Turkey, deliberately evoking the associations of a Flying Broom with witches. The Early Broomers promised to bring about change; change in the social economic status of Nigerians, corruption perpetrated by the elite, poverty amongst the masses, deteriorating health care system, high unemployment rate, huge infrastructural deficit, and so on and so forth. It’s not that Mr. Obi, who is 61, is particularly youthful himself, though he is the youngest major presidential candidate by a decade. But in a country where young people have been pushed to the periphery by unemployment, corruption, and police brutality, Mr. Obi’s promises of clean governance and an outsider’s perspective have caught the imagination of a generation. His supporters call themselves his “Obidients.” The word "broom" derives from the name of certain thorny shrubs ( Genista and others) used for sweeping. [1] The name of the shrubs began to be used for the household implement in Late Middle English and gradually replaced the earlier besom during the Early Modern English period. The song Buy Broom Buzzems (by William Purvis 1752–1832) still refers to the "broom besom" as one type of besom (i.e. "a besom made from broom").

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism. Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. Certainly, popular discontent with Nigeria’s current leadership is running high. The country is currently in the grip of a massive cash shortage, because the government bungled the rollout of new banknotes. Violent crime is rampant, the economy is stuttering, and criminal gangs steal 20% of the country’s oil output. A distinction is made between a "hard broom" and a "soft broom" and a spectrum in between. Soft brooms are used in some cultures chiefly for sweeping walls of cobwebs and spiders, like a " feather duster", while hard brooms are for rougher tasks like sweeping dirt off sidewalks or concrete floors, or even smoothing and texturing wet concrete. The majority of brooms are somewhere in between, suitable for sweeping the floors of homes and businesses, soft enough to be flexible and to move even light dust, but stiff enough to achieve a firm sweeping action.
