- Emeka Esogbue 


Anioma music veteran and leader of Anioma Musik Makers Band, Onowu Onyeoma Diyoyo Okafor has finally relocated to Ibusa, his hometown where he hopes to continue to entertain his people with his Ekobe genre of music.


Onyeoma Diyoyo Okafor made this disclosure on Sunday to PEN MASTER in a telephone conversation. 


He said he was better and more fulfilled staying home to thrill lovers of his music. 


"Pen Master, what you heard is true. I am here fully from whence I have been serving my Anioma lovers and beyond with my kind of music. I move them to dance, enjoy my songs and give them happiness. I am roundly happy they are happy." 


Asked where he particularly was, the Diyoyo said, "it was better to stay closer to people who need my musical services than be far away."


"Pen Master, tell them that Diyoyo, the Music Maker is now with them in our Anioma. I have moved down to Ibusa."


"There is not much difference staying here anyway because I have to move from place to place and tour the nation to entertain them. It takes requesting my services to have and I am available to all."


Onyeoma Diyoyo Okafor is one of the most popular Ibusa traditional musicians alive today and also one of the earliest traditional performers. He was best known with Akalusia Abana Band which produced his hit songs thereby giving him popularity. 


His "Nnem Bu Nnem" album is currently doing well in the market.

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.

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.

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.
