ENUANI ACADEMY: OMU ANIOMA HAILS VERONICA UFOEGBUNE

 ENUANI ACADEMY: OMU ANIOMA HAILS VERONICA UFOEGBUNE 



- Dr Emeka Esogbue


The Omu of Okpanam/Anioma and Nneoha, HRM Obi Dr Martha Dunkwu, has hailed Dr Veronica Ufoegbune who on Saturday unveiled the Enuani Language Academy to the world. 


Speaking on the development, HRM Obi Dr Martha Dunkwu said, "We have to thank God that we are alive to witness this measure of advancement of our people's linguistics."


"We have to preserve our dialect and not allow it to die," the Omu declared. 


"I wholeheartedly appreciate Dr. Veronica Ufoegbune for her quantum of contribution to advancing our people. Knowledge hoarded is Knowledge wasted."


"A million thanks are not enough to appreciate you, Dr. Ufoegbune. You have seen good days. My prayer is that you will see brighter days in good health, peace, and more progress."


On Saturday, PEN MASTER reported Anioma Daughter, Veronica Ufoegbune's project of the launching of the Enuani Language Academy website by the ace Enuani Linguist from the Issele-Uku community in partnership with Ndienuani TV. 


The cultural website of the Enuani people which came alive on Sept 16, 2023, at 7.00 a.m., PDT is embedded with the pictures of HRM Obi Dr. Dunkwu and other Anioma figures identified with the socio-cultural promotion of the Anioma Region.


The Omu Anioma has remained at the forefront of the promotion of Anioma culture and is globally acknowledged especially by culture scholars from around the world. The Omu Anioma has put Omuship, Okpanam, and Anioma on the global cultural map and is institutionally seen as Okpanam culture arrowhead by many within and outside the community.


In recent times, she has also been praised for advocating the coalescence of the Enuani communities to make identifiable progress in all areas possible hoping that the people's leaders will heed the call. 


Many believe that Ndienuani Language Academy will address the almost dying dialect of the Enuani Nation and also preserve the people's culture to enable the people to identifiably fit into global perspectives.

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
