Attribution of Oja and Ubo Musical Instruments to Igbo Page
[edit]Dear Sir/Madam: I noticed that there were no attributions of oja and ubo musical instruments to the Igbo page, in the Performing Arts section.
May I respectfully request, to account for both instruments, that the first paragraph of the section read as follows:
"The Igbo people have a musical style into which they incorporate various percussion instruments: the udu, which is essentially designed from a clay jug; an ekwe, which is formed from a hollowed log; and the ogene, a hand bell designed from forged iron. Other instruments include oja, a notched wooden flute; opi, a wind instrument similar to the flute made with animal, like elephant, horns; ubo, a thumb piano; igba, a wooden cylinder drum covered on one side with animal skin; and ichaka, a rattle chaplet bead, basket and metal types."(Umezinwa & Orajaka, 2019)."

Please let me know.

Semi-protected edit request: duplicate text in archaeology section
[edit]This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
In the subsection “History - Igbo-Ukwu archaeology”, the following text appears at both the beginning and end of the section:
“Glass production: Igbo-Ukwu has one of the oldest glass productions in West Africa. The archeology of Igbo-Ukwu had over 600 prestige objects including complex cast copper-alloy sculptures and more than 165,000 glass and carnelian beads.The most common glass among the 138 analytical results for Igbo-Ukwu beads is soda-lime glass produced using plant ash.”
Based on the context and the bold text in “Glass production”, it seems to me that the text belongs at the end of the section and the placement at the beginning is in error. Could someone check this? 96.240.151.206 (talk) 17:49, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
