ADDRESS BY ONOWU CHIKE EMEFIE
ICDU CARETAKER CHAIRMAN
IBUSA BRANCH
————————————————————-
Today I welcome sons and daughters of Ibusa to Ibusa Community Union Assembly. Ibusa is a town where celebration has a home; Ibusa is a town where culture has a root, but over the years there has been a watering down of certain basics because of moral malfunction which has DWARFED the identity of this great town.
We want to start a march to MORAL REARMAMENT and rectitude to bring back the greatness of the old – the age of Umejei and Chidi Nwoji; the great warriors. Greed, apathy, division and exclusivity are negative factors that will not advance the unity and progress we crave for.
Let us go into the inner recesses of our hearts, search our consciences and ask ourselves if we are contributing to the development of this town or taking advantage.
The choice is ours to make amends;
The choice is ours to unite Ibusa;
The choice is ours to lift her up.
Today Ibusa is THREATENED;
Today Isunambogu is not united!
Today Isunfuogujunni is no longer responding to the clarion call.
Today we shall call on God and the spirits of our ancestors to reawaken and rekindle our sensibilities to the realities of today to enable us chart a new course.
In the course of developing IBUSA, some names are loud – Onwa, Admiral Ezeoba and the new man on the block, Distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi. We hail and salute their dedication.
The past leads into the present and with a positive mindset the future would be remedied.
It shall be well with Isunambogu.
It shall be well with all of us.
May God lead the way.
Thanks.

ONOWU CHIKE EMEFIE.

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...
