OSHIMILI NORTH POLITICAL SPACE QUAKES AS IBUSA PHILANTHROPIST, OMELORA CHUKS OKONJI JOINS DELTA HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY RACE

- Floats Omelora Movement to advance his political career

- Emeka Esogbue

There are very clear indications that Ibusa philanthropist, and the Omelora of Ibusa, Sir Chuks Okonji has convincingly joined politics with the ambition to gun for the Delta State House of Assembly race. Pen Master on Monday, met with the young virile philanthropist who was full of laudable ideas, inside his Lagos office where they sat down to have discussions to this effect. Worried that things are not really as they should be, he believes that the youths carrying something to offer the society should come onboard to introduce new tactics which will help change the people's destiny.

The Omelora of Ibusa who hails from Umuodafe in Ibusa is a respected business tycoon with investments that cut across different sectors in the country.

Hailed by Oshimili North youths and called upon to join politics to deliver the people of Oshimili North, Chief Chuks Okonji has heeded the call and ready to serve his people in this capacity. On the strategies for employment, he told Pen Master that he was ready to give to the people, his services unconditionally and will deploy the best of Oshimili North hands to achieve his political aims. He pointed out the media as one of the viable and valuable tools that will aid his success at the polls. For him, it is politics without bitterness.

The Omelora Movement is asking the people for votes which will be ultimately utilized to better his society. Part of the campaign promises of the established businessman is to develop the communities of Oshimili North and also make Ibusa a centre for tile-making. Ibusa will become the commercial centre of tiles where all types of slabs of clay or other materials such as roof-tiles, glazed-tiles, stove-tiles, carpet-tiles and others will thrive and patronized. It will open up the community and give the teeming inhabitants around the Oshimili North, the opportunity to work and be patronized. He also spoke of his boisterous plans for Okpanam, Illah, Atuma, Ebu and other communities within the Oshimili North political fold.

The Omelora sees his ambition as founded on genuine services to the people as he is already established from spare parts trade, investment in hospitality business and oil and gas sector. Already, some youths of the community are celebrating the triumphant entry into politics by Chief Chuks Okonji, the Omelora of Ibusa as an opportunity for introduction of necessary change in the polity.

Philanthropist Omelora is an amazing man with a history of lots of charitable contributions to the social development of the society, a very kind man with achievements without the sound of trumpets. The political agitation in the country is such that new hands should be tried and it may well be favourable to Sir Chuks Okonji, the Omelora of Ibusa who is convinced on his career to work towards bettering the lives of his people. It is no magic but support from the people which he is humbly seeking. His party platform is outside the PDP and APC, which is a search for newer principles and ideologies.

DIAMOND JUBILEE AGE: 20 THINGS THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT FRED AJUDUA

DIAMOND JUBILEE AGE: 20 THINGS THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT FRED AJUDUA On January 21 2020, Pen Master paid Chief Fred Ajudua a scheduled visit at his Lagos-VGC Marble Dome Home, a large and imposing house sitting on a hill from where it vigorously engages public views and attention. On entering the house, Pen Master freely walked in and around, in the spirit of the love that always binds the people of Igbuzo. The man, Chief Fred Ajudua often described as the “Architect of Modern Ibusa” is unarguably one of the biggest fish in history to have come out of Ibusa even as it is said that nearly every Ibusa family has benefited from him one way or the other. Beyond what you know about him, there seems many sides you do not know. As the Igbuzo Chief celebrates his 60 th Year birthday, your Pen Master brings you the things you do not know about the highly influential Igbuzo Chief. Pen Master also dug into the Ajudua family photo depository all for your knowledge. Happy reading!

A SHORT HISTORY OF OBOLLO CLAN IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA

A SHORT HISTORY OF OBOLLO CLAN IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA By Emeka Esogbue Introduction Not many historical literatures on the Obollo people exist for the usual reasons associated with our people who prefer to write the history of mighty and populous peoples already enriched with volumes of historical accounts and records. Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents. However, it is within my historical concern that the rich history of this part of Igboland be adequately researched into, documented and preserved for the future generation. I do not hail from this part of Igboland but my historical background, interest and curiosity propelled me towards the acquisition of both oral and written information to put this material together. Geography The various Obollo communities comprising of Obollo Afor, Obollo Etiti, Obollo Eke, Obollo Orie and Obollo Nkwo are strategically situated at the regional bou

SEE HOW ANIOMA PEOPLE DRESS ON THEIR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE THE ERA OF USING OUR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE TO PROMOTE ATTIRES OF OTHER GROUPS IN NIGERIA IS GONE Today is Saturday, conventionally set aside for marriage ceremonies. Awareness on how our Anioma brides and grooms attire themselves during their traditional marriage has fast spread and entrenched. We no longer promote other group's cultural attires because we want them to promote our own instead. I say many thanks to our Anioma cultural advocates on this day because our labours to preserve as well as promote the good cultures of our Anioma society have never been in vain. Noticeable now is that in time of our traditional marriages, we costume ourselves in Akwa-Ocha which brings out our god-given beauty. A few moments after her traditional marriage in Umuodafe, Ibusa on December 28, inside the Agokei palatial home, I visited former Miss Amaka Thelma Agokei, the bride. I was rather late; but I met this beautiful bride t
