Repair Asaba-Achala-Ibusa Road and receive my N250,000 gift -Man tells Gov. Okowa



Following the plight, endless and fruitless efforts of the people of Ibusa in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State in convincing the Delta State Government, over the years to fix the Asaba-Achala-Ibusa Road. Mr. Stephen Chukwumuanya Nwabudike a political enthusiast and indigene of the town has pledged to donate the sum of N250,000 (Two Hundred and Fifty thousand Naira), for the re-election bid of His Excellency, Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa if he takes it upon himself to repair the road
Mr. Nwabudike who made this promise known to fellow conversationalists in a group chat in popular ‘People of Oshimili North’, a Whatsaap forum, enthused that his pledge became necessary following endless pleas, failed promises and rumours that have accompanied the said road, yet the condition of the road has not changed a bit. The highly respected political analyst and commentator further stated that like many others, the repair of the road would make him a fulfilled person as his hometown is in danger of separation by the road that links them together.
Recall that this reporter had sometime, in the past, reported the near impassable state of the road with shots of photographs to represent its condition to the public, which people now avoid.
The Asaba-Achala-Ibusa Road that begins in Asaba, covering Achala and terminates in Ezukwu quarter of Ibusa is a very strategic Road that connects Ibusa with Asaba, the state capital. It is so strategic that that its reconstruction will open up another end of Ibusa with Asaba, with boisterous activities as a new beehive of social and economic activities will spring up. The road houses important heritages in the town that include the home of the Ikwele of the town and Oduche River, which the people depend on for their activities among others.  
‘With the road in a terrible terrible condition, the people of Achala, have become completely cut off from the rest of my people and the only way to reconnect them is to fix this road. Let His excellency, Governor Arthur Okowa come to our rescue’. Nwabudike concluded.

    The road should be constructed with the cement pavement technology,so as to ensure durability.It should be awarded to an indigenous firm,perhaps,of anioma root,given the preponderance of the anioma's in the proffesional sectors,as a result of their early contacts with the european explorers,missionaries and colonists.Besides,the oduche river,a tributary of the niger river,should be canalised,and an industrial jetty(A jetty with an industrial city),built within it's vicinity,so that ibusa would be transformed into an economic hub in the west and central african subregion,like onitsha,anambra state.Given,that ibusa is blessed with notable personalities in the realms of commerce and industry,like nnewi,anambra state,there should be concerted efforts to replicate the nnewi miracle in ibusa,with the likes of dr pat utomi,senator peter nwaoboshi,peter okocha etc,spearheading it

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...
