 I WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH OKPANAM YOUTHS, CHUKS OKONJI, DELTA HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY FAVOURITE ASSURES OMU ANIOMA ON HER 67TH BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY


- By Emeka Esogbue


The Delta State House of Assembly favourite in the forthcoming election, Sir Dr. Chuks Okonji has sent his congratulatory message to HRM Obi Dr. Martha Dunkwu, the Omu of Okpanam/Anioma.


The APM Delta State House of Assembly hopeful is delighted that within her period of Omuship of Okpanam and Anioma, the Okpanam has made so much impact on the traditional institution of Anioma. The Omu is a rare gift to the women folk, he said. 


"It is a thing of happiness that not only has the Omu united the Anioma women using Omuship as an umbrella but has given women a voice."


"Seriously, Omu Dunkwu has made women partners in the socio-cultural task of the Anioma society."


"Getting the likes of Omu Dunkwu is not to be easily expected in every generation. This makes her likes rare to find in any society."


"Not allowing our female traditional institution to die, is something we can be proud of in our Omu. I am aware that my Igbuzo community has an Omu and know too, the role played by the Omu of Okpanam."


"We are sisters - Okpanam and Ibusa and I hope to solidify this sisterhood. I recognize Okpanam as an important community of Oshimili North and Anioma as a whole and pledge to work closely with Okpanam youths if voted into office. This is why I call on the people to give me their votes."


Sir Dr. Chuks Okonji has promised to make his constituency proud of his representation if voted into office.

Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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

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.

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! ...
