 IKWELE CELESTINE OKAFOR, ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF ANIOMA BROTHERS FANS CLUB



- Emeka Esogbue


In an aftermath of an election, the Ikwele of Ibusa, His Eminence, Chief Engr. Celestine Okeibunor Okafor, on Friday night, emerged as the Chairman of the Anioma Brothers Fans Club. The Ikwele, a revered Ibusa traditional Chief, received the highest number of votes cast in a 3-day election that was held on the Group's forum as coordinated by the Anioma Brothers Administrators. 


Election flagged off on May 18, with Chief Engr. Celestine Okafor, Chief Daddy Okeleke, the Mgboko Isiga of Ibusa, Chief Austin Uwaonye Ndinwa, the Okemili of Ibusa, and Mr. Emmanuel 'Kwasa' Amatokwu, announced as the nominees of the newly formed Fans Club for voting by the Administrators. 


In the total of 48 votes received, Chief Celestine Okafor polled 35 and was subsequently declared the Chairman-Elect by Mr. Chuks Patrick Chubby who announced the result on behalf of the Anioma Brothers Fans Club. The Ikwele was followed by Chief Austin Ndinwa whose votes totaled 12.


Congratulatory messages have since started to come the way of the Ikwele with one of the contestants, Mr. Emmanuel Amatokwu sending the first goodwill message. 


"By now, the Ikwele would have won. If so, congratulations to Chief. This is another aspect of belonging to this Group. What benefit do we expect? It is good we have a good number of followers," he said.


Another member of the Fans Club, Mr. Oge Osinkor, popularly called "Daddy O" also sent him his goodwill message:


"Congratulations, Ikwele Isu Kingdom. I trust you will be a wonderful Chairman," the Ibusa political figure from Ogboli, wrote. 


Another contender, Chief Austin Ndinwa has also congratulated the Ikwele. 


The Anioma Brothers Band is a musical group, led by the Anioma Ekobe Music Maestro, Chief Ogbogu Okonji who hails from Ibusa in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State. It is yet clear when Chief Engr. Celestine Okafor, the Ikwele of Ibusa, described by the Group's Administrators as Chairman-Elect would be sworn in. The Ikwele is also yet to announce his acceptance speech at the time of filing this report.


Pen Master, your leading source in Anioma issues, beings you all the Anioma events as they happen. 


Stay with your Pen Master

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...
