DECLINE IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITY POLICING IN IBUSA
ICDU Seeks Alternative Funding; Sets Up Committee To Look Into This.
By Emeka Esogbue
Saturday, September 29, 2018
Reports from Ibusa in Oshimli North Local Government Area of Delta State say there has been a steady decline in the financial support of the Ibusa Community Police otherwise known as ICP, by a corp of Ibusa sons and daughters over the past months, resulting in a backlog of unpaid allowances to the ICP Operatives. This disclosure was made recently in the community by Dr. Austin Izagbo, the President-General of the Ibusa Community Development Union (ICDU).
Sources from ICP who spoke to this reporter on anonymity believe that the continuous provision of financial assistance to corps of the Community Police by same charitable hands from the community has understandably waned, culminating in decline in productivity of the services rendered by these Operatives as currently witnessed. In his view, these set of selfless people have done their best for the community, holding forth in this area since the introduction of the security outfit. Alternative means of sustainability will improve their salaries as well as morale in the security duties.
When contacted by this reporter to speak further on this development, Dr Izagbo emphasized the consequence of the decline affirming that "there have been continous rise in reports of various acts of criminality in our community. There is thus an urgent need to check this ugly situation before it gets out of hand".
This reporter also gathered that driven further to find a way out of this problem, the Ibusa Community Development Union in implementing one of the decisions reached at its last National Conference in Ibusa concerning the state of insecurity in the community had in consultation with various stakeholders in the community constituted a technical committee to
liaise with the Obuzor palace of the community to fashion out a holistic people driven
platform, structure, logistic and infrastructural needs of the Ibusa Community Police to keep the operatives on the task.
This Committee is to be chaired by Chief Dr. Nosike Agokei with the following as members:
Chief Victor Uchunor, Mrs Philo Okonkwo and Hon. Pat. Mozea.
Others are Mrs Felicia Adun, Mr. Clement Nwanze and Mr. Ifeanyi Eze. Mr. Ngozi Kwusike Ifechukwude is the Committee's Secretary.
The ICDU President-General appealed to the sons and daughters of the community to send necessary suggestions to the Chairman or Secretary of the Committee, which will help them realize their terms of reference.

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...
