Miss Teen Anioma now to hold, Nov 11
Yinka Entertainment, organizers of the prestigious Miss Teen Anioma regret to inform you that due to unforseen circumstances, the grand finale of the Anioma cultural pageant otherwise known as "Miss Teen Anioma" has been postponed to Nov 11, 2017.
Meanwhile, preliminaries of this contest have already started as the girls in camp have been learning how to weave the Akwa Ocha fabric and preparing core Anioma traditional dishes such as "oseani", ujuju soup etc and learning the Anioma history. Here in camp, the spirit is very high as they are getting familiarised with the cultural practices of their Aniocha, Oshimili, Ika, Ukwuani/Ndokwa, Ndoni, Igbanke etc and are learning very fast. They are young but burning with desires to know more about our people.
They will pay visit to important tourist sites in Anioma such as Olona Ranch in Onicha Olona, Lander Brothers' Anchorage in Asaba, Nigeria's first colonial administrative headquarters building in Asaba, Okpuzu Waterfall in Ibusa etc and also perform community service in Idumuje Ugboko. The girls will also be guests to some Anioma monarchs.
As Idumuje Ugboko has decided to host this year's edition, Yinki Entertainment calls on the people of the community to come out en masse on Nov 11, 2017 to support the girls.
Once again, venue is Mount Ned Nwoko Tourist Resort, Idumuje Ugboko, Delta State.
Time:Red Carpet 10am-11am.
Main Event:12pm
Be There!

 Top Seven Ancient Powerful Societies that Shaped Nigeria’s History Compiled By Emeka Esogbue There were several ancient societies that shaped today’s Nigerian history. Here are the top most powerful ancient societies in what became Nigeria: 1. Kanem-Bornu Empire – Located in present-day Chad, Nigeria, Cameroun and Libya, the Kanem-Bornu Empire was one of the most powerful kingdoms in Africa and perhaps, Nigeria’s most powerful and influential kingdom.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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...

Umuezechime in Anioma: History and Identity Factor Resolved By Emeka Esogbue

Umuezechime in Anioma: History and Identity Factor Resolved By Emeka Esogbue Introduction Although the Anioma peopling the West Bank of the Niger River Basin have often been categorized as a people that wholesomely trace their origin to only one particular ethnic group of Nigeria by writers of history and other researchers from outside the Anioma region, numerous historical evidences drawn from the oral and written sources, and migration theories of the people confirm their heterogeneous origins. Evidently, all the peoples that now comprise the “Anioma” area originated from different ethnic groups of the Nigerian nation.   The above is confirmed by Osia (2012:6) who wrote: “History notes that the Anioma people trace their origins to various communities within Nigeria: Edo, Igala, Yoruba and Igbo. No history has proved these ancestries otherwise…” Esogbue (2015:14) further admitted that: “there is always tendency for researchers to an extent to assign the whole of...
