Tinie Tempah: UK's Biggest Rapper Of Today Is An Anioma Son From Asaba
By Emeka Esogbue
There seems no end to the blessings naturally enjoyed by the Anioma people of Nigeria in nearly every human endeavour.

This is Tinie Tempah. Making waves and breaking chats in the Diaspora, Tinie seems UK's biggest rapper of today winning and sweeping over nearly all the Nigerian and international awards available to musicians. Among these awards are Brits Award, Nigeria Entertainment Awards, BET Awards for the Best International Act among several others. Added to these are his four nominations in MOBO.
Born in South London, Tinnie was in his Nigerian homeland for the first time to perform in his first ever show in this country where he was watched by thousands of his fans including those who followed him down from the UK. The event recorded one of the biggest musical shows in Nigeria and this was in 2003.
Great guy with great charm, Tinie is a crowd puller any day whom top international musicians would want to engage every moment. First, he did an album, with a Glastonbury Stage appearance on Pyramid Stage with Snoop Dogg and also did a single titled "Wifey" then there was another one in 2010, "Pass Out" which hit number one on UK music chat.
After his performance with Rihana in 2010, his demand increased. However, he had "Frisky" another of his hit which made number 2 on music chat. "Disc Overt" would top the chat once again with reviews in hundreds. With collaborations with Goulding, Kelly Rowland, Ellie, Wonderman, Labyrinth and lots more, it is looking like all the international musicians want the sensational Tinie.
The 21-year old Tinie Tempah, birth-named Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu was born in South London on Nov 7, 1988 to Asaba parents.

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...
