UBULU-UKU ONISHE, EMMA EJIOFOR SHARES DOCTORATE CONVOCATION PICTURES

 UBULU-UKU ONISHE, EMMA EJIOFOR SHARES DOCTORATE CONVOCATION PICTURES



By Emeka Esogbue

(Pen Master)


The Onishe of Ubulu-Uku Kingdom, Chief Emmanuel Ejiofor, Ph.D. has happily shared pictures from his recent convocation ceremony as a Doctorate Degree holder. 


The progressive Traditional Prime Minister of Ubulu-Uku Kingdom and Philanthropist, respected in Anioma for his enthusiasm in Anioma culture, and appreciative guide, steer and conduct of the Ubulu-Uku kingship was among the top brilliant graduands, proudly paraded on the convocation ground during the ceremony. 


Chief Ejiofor, the Delta State, and Nigerian ace Politician, one of the founders and a major financier of PDP before leaving the party, obtained his Doctorate Degree, majoring in Banking and Finance from the prestigious Madonna University, Okija, Nigeria. 


The academic being the first among the important politicians of Ubulu-Uku who has the sole authority to crown a king in the Ubulu-Uku Kingdom is now also one of the most educated politicians of Ubulu-Uku extraction, something to advantageously cheer about by his admirers, far and near.


Added to this recent feather is the usual aphorism in Ubulu-Uku society that whoever is crowned as the King by the Onishe, is the King of Ubulu-Uku. This shows how much power the Onishe wields in the culture as well as the internal political system of his Ubulu people as Ejiofor is a case study.


The Pen Master is honoured to bring you these pictures.


Congratulations to Chief Emma Ejiofor, Ph.D., and the people of Ubulu-Uku for putting the Anioma nation in good light.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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

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. Evidently, all the peoples that now comprise the “Anioma” area originated from different ethnic groups of the Nigerian nation.   The above is confirmed by Osia (2012:6) who wrote: “History notes that the Anioma people trace their origins to various communities within Nigeria: Edo, Igala, Yoruba and Igbo.
