 St. Thomas College Ibusa: The Establishment, Attempts to Liquidate it and the Fate of Survival Emeka Esogbue “It is ironical for the people of Ibusa that rather than pinnacle St. Thomas Teachers Training College to the elevation of a polytechnic or university eminence that it should expectedly be, it was downgraded to a same-sex school that it is now. If it is a bit of sardonic laughter that an institution of this magnitude, the senior, better equipped and first-conceived higher institution in the whole of Mid-West Region was downgraded, the policies of the government in which they have been spreading the birth of higher institutions across the state to the detriment of this one with quality facilities, ready for upgrade, is ill-starred in the modern educational history of the community and social advocacies of the people”. Emeka Esogbue Despite the historical enjoyment of the status of the first higher institution in the whole of the former Mid-West Region, the history of St. Tho...

 Between Igbo and Ijaw: The Historical Misplacement of Reno Omokri's View in Jaja of Opobo By Emeka Esogbue It looks like a historical misapplication and irrelevance, reading through respected Reno Omokri take to the historical course of a slave and master thesis, and Igbo and Ijaw social media presentation while using King Jaja Opobo to justify his primitivist case study. Worse still, the theory resurrected by him is far from constituting beneficence to the Igbo, Ijaw, or Nigeria as a whole socially, politically, or economically.

How does Omokri, a giant Nigerian politician historically benefit from whether Jaja of Opobo was a slave of the Ijaw or not in modern Nigeria and global 2021? It is needless to emphasize that the discipline of history is not an instrument of ethnic superiority, promotion of disunity, or determination of racial powers and preference. History is a Bible of lessons which one should study, ...

 ANIOCHA-OSHIMILI CHAIRMEN: APPROVE MONTHLY TOKEN FOR YOUR OMU  - Emeka Esogbue The time is here and now for the Aniocha North and South and Oshimili North and South Councils to pay the Omu token on monthly basis. With the campaign for votes, they move to Omu Anioma palace because they understand the role and influence of Omuship within the Enuani society but when elections have come and gone, they soon forget where they started.  Times have since changed and the government should recognize that the Omu should be catered for. We have a tradition, a woman leaves her husband and occupation because Omuship has called, a palace is built for her, with a retinue of domestic staff to cater for, and she takes up societal responsibility for her people's over all wellbeing.  She was formally in charge of markets within her vicinity but with foreign invasion by colonialists, she became stripped of this headship with the local government put in charge. The same council collects ...
