 OMU ANIOMA, PEN MASTER, OTHERS, REACT TO ISSELE-UKU'S IZU AFIA RITE: SALUTE OBI NDUKA FOR THE SUCCESSFUL OUTING



* The Young Obi, setting a Pace Worthy of Emulation - Omu Anioma 


* Monarch Making the Anioma People Proud is Obi Nduka - Pen Master


Notable personalities from Anioma have saluted the Obi of Issele-Uku, Agbogidi Obi Nduka following the monarch's Izu Afia outing in the community recently. Patrick Nweike Ochei, publisher of Anioma Trust Newspaper reported the Obi of the community as emerging from his inner chambers of the Issele-Uku Royal Palace on Friday, to perform his first official outing for the 2022 annual festival known as Ine Aho.



The King dressed in red royal apparel was seen publicly, buying some commodities and paying for them inside the community's Afor Market where he also paid homage to the Queen Mother, Omu at her shop. Reacting to this important rite that preludes one of the biggest festivals of the people of Issele-Uku, the Omu of Okpanam/Anioma, HRM Obi Dr. Martha Dunkwu remarked that the tradition and values of the Anioma people are unique. 


"The Omu is Queen Mother to all or Ezewanyi (female kings in charge of women)..."


"The Obi is setting a pace worthy of emulation. See class, see dignity, see respectability, see royalty at its best. I doff my hat for this Obi, who is prototype Obi of the 22nd century," the Omu said. Meanwhile, a prominent politician from Ibusa, Mr. Jude Adiefe had earlier heaped praises on the Obi, pleasantly surprised that he has grown into a great royal father. 


"Issele-Uku is one of Anioma's strongholds when it has to do with the preservation of our people's culture. This community with Agbogidi Obi Nduka is definitely our pride," Pen Master - Emeka Esogbue emphasized. 


There is no doubt that the Obi of Issele-Uku is at the forefront of good monarchical deeds in Anioma. The Anioma people can take pride in the personality of Agbogidi Obi Nduka of Issele-Uku Kingdom. I think we all have a king that our people can be proud of," he further said.



Prominent founder of Kinship ideology, Onowu Chuks Esogbue has also pointed out that Omuship is a beautiful gender and sensitive heritage. According to him, our culture must not die as we must keep the torch burning.

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...
