WHY IS KOLA NUT BROKEN WITH A KNIFE IN IZZI LAND - NIGERIA



Reasons why the kola is preferably broken with a knife rather than by hand?  Many of the answers received   from the questionnaire  indicated that it is due to  health reasons, that is, for hygienically reasons as the immediate motive. Some people  say  it is because the   kola is sacred, and as   much should be treated holy  “sanctae sanctae tractate sunt” 

The popular  reason is that the kola is broken  with a knife as a mark of  honor to it because it is not    up to the size of a piece of yam which people bite  and  chew. The remote reason is essentially religious,  for people  who have  shed blood develop a “ strong   hand “  “aka ike”
and may not break the  sacred kola  for others using the soiled or profaned hand or   bloody hand. The  sacredness of the oji  stems from the fact that  oji is Izzi symbol of life
