 Huxley Unumadu, Izomo of Umuebu Wins the King of Tradition award



- Dedicates Award to Gov Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State for Effective Leadership and Transformation


By Emeka Esogbue 


They say honour and good works do not go unrecognized as they breed value and respect and this is seen in Ugoesa Huxley Adiniebo Unumadu who was recently honoured in far-away Garden City, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. 


There seems no end of glorious awards and honours for the Izomo of Umuebu Kingdom in Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State. To those who know him closely well, Ugoesa Huxley Unumadu, the Senior Special Assistant to Gov Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State on Tourism and Culture is everything, the culture, and tradition of the Anioma nation, traveling to cart home nearly every available award from corporate bodies, the media, and government agencies around Africa. 


In the present Delta State administration, the Izomo is not only seen to have justified his portfolio but has taken the rich cultural heritage of the people of Delta State in general to Africa where he has also been honoured, he also appears to have stood out from among the appointment carriers of his fellow Ndokwa/Ukwuani kinsmen, reaching out and relating to other people outside the bounds of this immediate Ndokwa border. Put simply, with his tourism, arts, and culture portfolio, Unumadu has brought the Okowa administration and Delta State and Nigeria pride. 


This particular "King of Tradition" award is something to particularly take home. As the awardee stated, King of Tradition, awarded by Love FM Port Harcourt is special to his 25 years of journey of services in the culture and tourism business. 


"It is with profound appreciation and feeling of honour that I stand before this august organization to receive this remarkable Award. Yes, this award is very important to me because it is a fundamental testimony of my 25 years of involvement in culture and tourism development across the global village, especially in Africa."


In a country where everything is going political and other spheres no longer bears significance, the Okowa Aide on culture and tourism is also rooting for the promotion and sustainability of tourism. 


"We have come to a time in our national life where the leadership of this country must recognize that the customs and traditions of our. multi-ethnic Nigeria must be infused in national development plans for the positive outcome socio-cultural, economic and political cohesion to happen," he said in a statement after his honour with the award. 


However, the interesting turn-out is that Ugoesa Huxley Unumadu is dedicating this award to His Excellency, Dr.  Ifeanyi Okowa, the Governor of Delta State for effective leadership and transformation of the state. 


Congratulations to Ugoesa Huxley Unumadu, the Izomo of the Umuebu Kingdom from Pen Master.

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

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
