HOW ANIOMA'S ANGELA LOKS STOOD IN GAP FOR GLOBAL CHRISTIAN WORSHIPPERS DURING THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWN


HOW ANIOMA'S ANGELA LOKS STOOD IN GAP FOR GLOBAL CHRISTIAN WORSHIPPERS DURING THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWN

-       Emeka Esogbue

Notable songstress, instrumentalist and expert in musical chorale, Angela Izegbu popularly called "Angela Loks" by her admirers took the lockdown vacuum to spiritually attach global Christian worshippers to God with the event she tagged "Organ Worship".  The Organ Worship of the globally-acclaimed singer provided Christians round the world the opportunity to glue themselves to what they had been missing due to the lockdown rules that shut them out from churches.

"I performed on the 8th of June 2020, a Sunday which in Catholic Holy Calendar is dedicated to the Holy Trinity being God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit", she explained to Pen Master shortly after the musical worship ended.

"This worship message was imparted though the organ to Christians of all denominations" said the Anioma Lady of songs now widely famous for her talent.

The well-known orchestrator who further stated that the organ is a liturgical accompaniment for religious worship was happy that by her inspiration, many worshippers found an opportunity to draw closer to God despite the COVID-19 challenges and its unfavourable impacts to mankind.

The notable singer from Ibusa in Delta State was assisted by Organist, Macartan Odeke who was also the Host of the ceremony. Angela Loks who currently enjoys the position of the Manager, Membership and Event, MUSON Centre is a force to reckon with in this endeavor.

The event focused on specially selected meditative and melodious hymns and high-pitched descents which were laced with one classical song from one of Handel’s oratorios also with cadenzas to show that even with the lock

down, voices for worshipping God remains intact and important. Once there is a will, there must be a way to worship God.

The Angela Loks show was an online event on Facebook and Instagram livestream because of the social distance rule. However, the attendance produced over 1 million viewers who watched it enjoyably from their homes.

The event which particularly took place at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria was a big huge success as confirmed to Pen Master by some of the viewers.

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...
