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.

Top Seven Ancient Powerful Societies that Shaped Nigeria’s History

 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...
