Anioma radio personality and broadcaster, Miss Vivian Isioma Gbunnor has emerged the winner of the MMA Online Awards, 2002 in the Fourth Estate of the Realm as announced by the organizers on Monday. Isioma Gbunnor, popular for her presentation of "Uwa Anioma" now "Nnorkor Umunna," a programme in Anioma is noted for her brilliant performance of the programme considered endearing to her listeners, as far as the Southeast where the programme is also broadcasted to other Igbos. However, it has also been a source of inspiration and comfort to Anioma women that are most advanced in age.

The organizers of the award have said of her, "her programme on radio attracted the uniqueness, the awards sought to reward."

The Ibusa-born Deputy Head of Programmes and Newscaster with Bridge Radio 97.7 FM, Asaba who once told PEN MASTER in an interview that she finds joy in her presentations, was nominated by a college and overwhelmingly voted for by radio listeners.

"I am thrilled and emboldened by this award today and take the opportunity to remind our people that whatever a person does in life, does not escape the eyes of the people. We should therefore strive to do it very well because we are being watched and judged by the world," the lady popularly called "Adadiohanma" further told Pen Master in a telephone conversation.

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 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.

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...
