As part of the efforts to enroll the Ibusa child in the ongoing West African Examination Council initiated by Pat Adigwe, Chief Roland Nwanze, the Onihe of Ibusa has made a donation of N1.5m. 


According to Mr. Pat Adigwe, the donation was made with the instruction that the organizers utilize it on the less privileged children who are willing to sit for the examination. 



"This is what we call pure love of Igbuzo. Everyone should join me to thank the Onihe while I pray for more supporters to come on board," Adigwe said in a statement on Umuigbuzor's Facebook page. 


Pat Adigwe who hinted that the target of the organizers is to register about 100 children, called on other Ibusa sons and daughters to support the initiative. 


The Umuigbuzor founder also announced the donation of N500,000 by an anonymous indigene of the community. 


A commentator, Vivian Ifechukwude Adiche Ajufo reacted, "God bless Onihe greatly. God bless you, Adigwe Pat for being a blessing to us all."  


Another commentator, Otoma Ukwa Andrew also said, "Igbuzo amaka. God bless the donors." 


Last year, Pen Master reported Pat Adigwe as one of the 13 Ibusa indigenes that touched the community in 2022. He was also a recipient of the year's mock award that also recognized Hon Innocent Esewezie, the Oshimili North Local Government Chairman, Chief Fred Ajudua, the Onwanetili Oha of Ibusa, Azuka Ashikodi, Femi Okafor, a USA-based lawyer, Barr Ifeoma Iloba and others.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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