SENATOR NWAOBOSHI RETURNS THE CREATION OF ANIOMA STATE ON TRACK

By Emeka Esogbue

The Delta North Senatorial District representative at the Senate, Distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi at the Senate Committee On Constitution Review led by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, officially applied for the creation of Anioma State, supported by Anioma people.

The Distinguished Senator, has by this move set on path again, the biggest Anioma project in the civilization history of the people

Legislative Aide to the Senator, Awele Onokwai Snr who also confirmed the development today in Abuja wrote:

"The application, which drew commendation, applause and cheers from members of the Committee including the Deputy Senate President has generated even greater approval from notable sons and daughters from Delta State and beyond, including professor Oyevbaire, who, described the move as an "idea whose time has come"

He further gave huge credit to the region's traditional rulers, former Deputy Governor of Delta State, Chief Benjamin Elue and other Anioma sons and daughters for their genuine commitment to the Anioma cause.

The Ibusa people have since the days of nationalist, Chief Dennis Osadebay championed the Anioma cause of state creation with Senator Nwaoboshi becoming the second Anioma senator from the Ibusa community after Obi Senator Nosike Ikpo to officially move for the creation of the state in the country.

If Senator Nwaoboshi with the help of Anioma advocates succeeds, the feat is sure to leave his name on sands of time. Pen Master had a few years ago, in an article published in Nigerian newspapers reported that the proposed Anioma State is richer than more than 30 present states of the country in terms of oil.

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...
