MOTHER AND DAUGHTER SUMMIT: NGO WORKERS, GAINING GROUND IN IBUSA


 MOTHER AND DAUGHTER SUMMIT: NGO WORKERS, GAINING GROUND IN IBUSA


With the recently held Igbuzo Singles Meet 10th anniversary program in Ibusa and the scheduled Mother and Daughter Summit billed to come up in the community, courtesy of Home of Mercy Foundation, it is looking like activities of NGOs are beginning to peak in the community where all attentions often focus on political arrangements and gains. 


Pen Master had on Saturday, during the Conference and Lectures, organized by Igbuzo Singles Meet Worldwide, advised the leadership of the community and other notable groups to embrace NGOs on youth development, noting that the community's stakeholders consider affairs of the youth as liabilities and stylishly avoid participation. 


"The Ibusa leaders should consider the future of the youth as the future of the community, knowing that the baton will be passed to them as guaranteed by nature. Any amount of proclaimed love for the community without the involvement of the youth is cosmetic" he said in his welcome address. 


"Those who drive youth NGOs in the community must be recognized and rewarded as a way to encourage their services and to improve the wellbeing of the youths. An annual youth conference should be instituted in the community. The youth need to be organized. 


Mother and Daughter Summit and Lectures is a charity event, scheduled to hold Inside the Elumelu Hall, Kefas Park, Ibusa on December 17, 2021. It is a non-political initiative instituted by Ms. Josephine Nwannabuogwu, the PA to the Oshimili North LGA on Child Rights and Women Mobilization and the Igbuzo Singles Meet, Anioma Zone has promised to send delegates to the programme.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.

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.
