The Igbuzo Singles Meet (ISM) Conference: What they said at the Conference


 The Igbuzo Singles Meet (ISM) Conference: What they said at the Conference


Hon Innocent Esewezie: I am determined to pursue and achieve the interest of the Ibusa Youth and will use ISM as a platform. Our youths especially women should be empowered. I had to put off my other engagement to be here to relate closely with our Ibusa youths. 


- Hon Esewezie, Oshimili North LGA Chairman


Emeka Esogbue: Our youths are in neglect. Ibusa should give priority to the affairs of the youths in the community. The branches of the Ibusa Community Development Union, the Ibusa leadership should take the lead. Our people should stop seeing our youths as liabilities while giving priority to politicians that they run to. Tactical avoidance of our youths is a denial of our future.


- Elder Emeka Esogbue, Founder, Igbuzo Singles Meet Worldwide (ISM)


Nnediohanma Ezinne Patricia Nnabuife: When we marry from our area, our children are not lost. I will work closely with Emeka Esogbue to support ISM to achieve its objectives. Our children should speak our native dialect outside the English.


Dr. Ruth Nwaobi-Nkeaka: The individuals and government have a role to play in curbing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among our people. 


- Dr. Ruth Nwaobi-Nkeaka, Medical Doctor and Resource Person at the Conference 


Chief Mrs. Rosemary Ikolodo: I am an Igbuzo woman and always proud of my community with her people.


- Chief Mrs. Ikolodo, Hon Grand-Matron, Igbuzo Singles Meet Worldwide


Pastor Felix Nzemeka: We should empower our Ibusa girl-child to discourage men from taking advantage of them in marriage. Poverty is what makes some men believe they want to favour our young girls with marriage promises


- Pastor Felix Nzemeka, a Canadian-based Awardee


Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Onianwah: Marriage in Igbuzo traditional clime is complementary. The man and woman contribute and the marriage works. I grew up to meet this in our Ibusa society.


- Dr. Onianwah, Researcher and Resource Person at the Conference

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...
