 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.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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. No history has proved these ancestries otherwise…” Esogbue (2015:14) further admitted that: “there is always tendency for researchers to an extent to assign the whole of...
