Assert Ibusa as Host Community in your Publications, GIWA President, Dr. Ajumeze tells Admiralty University

 Assert Ibusa as Host Community in your Publications, GIWA President, Dr. Ajumeze tells Admiralty University



- Emeka Esogbue


The President of the Guild of Ibusa Writers and Authors also known as GIWA, Dr. Henry Obi Ajumeze has appealed to the Management of the Admiralty University of Nigeria (ADUN), Ibusa in Delta State, Nigeria, to proudly assert the Ibusa name as the institution's host community.


Ajumeze, in a terse message made available to the executives of the Association via the GIWA executive platform, said, "Dear House, a particular matter keeps drawing my attention as something within our spheres of interest. It is the persistent refusal to assert our name as the bona-fide community in which Admiralty University is founded and sited," while urging the Management of the school to recognize the community as the host community in their publications.


Dr. Ajumeze, a renowned poet and lecturer in Theatre Arts, popular for his book, "Dimples on the Sand," who made this appeal on Wednesday further stated, "this act derides our communal sense of identity and undermines our historical geography."


"I believe we should put our acts together to speak to the Management in a pure sense of hospitality and utmost friendly disposition and relations that our community is peacefully known."


The information is available on the official website of the school reads that the main campus of the school is located on "100 hectares of land at Ibusa, about 20 kilometers from Asaba, the Delta State capital," a recognition for Ibusa though.


The Admiralty University of Nigeria, the only institution of higher learning currently located in Ibusa, the community with professors nearing one hundred in number, belongs to the Nigerian Navy with the main objective of expansion of knowledge in various specializations that include marine, logistics, management, forensic, and cyber security sciences. 



The Anioma public and beyond continue to praise the presence and activities of the institution, stating that the institution has uniquely brought standards to stay in their academic training in Nigeria with their giant presence and also opening up the area of its location to economic build-up. Dr. Henry Obi Ajumeze is one of the people satisfactorily grateful to the institution in this wise. 


The institution was attracted by Admiral Joseph Dele Ezeoba (retd), an indigene of Ibusa who was the Chief of Naval Staff in the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

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
