 Loud in Ibusa: The Igwe Obosi will Attend the Obi Nweke's Diokpaship Event After he Read Pen Master's Ibusa-Obosi Ancestral Link


- Emeka Esogbue

On Saturday (tomorrow), all roads will lead to Ibusa, with Isieke clan as the event ground. Isieke, the ancestral root of some of the most prominent Igbuzo sons and daughters, many of who enjoy global recognition, will host important dignitaries from several other parts of the nation.

It is the venue of Obi (Eze) Adigwe Blacky Nweke's Ikpobata Umu (inaugural reception as the Diokpa of Umuekea), and the Nweke family is prepared to showcase one of the finest cultural 'fiestas.' It is here that his Ofor (traditional staff of office) will be confirmed. It will also empower his leadership of the Ekea descendants by progeniture, something everyone is already looking up to.

Typical of the rich culture of the Umejei's Igbuzo-Isu migrants, the traditional drums will be rolled out, and the guest will be enthralled with the best of Anioma culture.

PEN MASTER can confirm that Umu-Ekea (the descendants of Ekea), descendants of Amazon Ekea from Obosi in nearby Anambra State, one of the wives of Ezemesi, legendarily famed for her beauty and stupendous wealth, have concluded arrangements to entertain their guests.

Already many important guests have indicated interest in attending the historic program.

The more pleasant guest, a surprise, is the Igwe of Obosi in Idemili Local Government Area of Anambra State, Igwe Chidubem Iweka III, who has seen the flyer and read the Pen Master's interview of the celebrant forwarded to him by an Igbuzo son.

The Obosi community monarch was excited to find in Pen Master's published account on Obi Nweke that Ekea, an Obosi indigene, was the matriarch of Umuekea, an ancestral relationship that binds Igbuzo and Obosi, which he considers a historical fascination.

Obi Nweke, in line with the Igbuzo-Obosi kinship, had also once led a delegation of Ekea cousins of the Obosi people to the Igwe of Obosi during his coronation in Anambra State. Now, the traditional ruler of the Obosi ancient Kingdom will be glad to return the visit to his Ekea brothers and sisters in Ibusa.

Igwe Iweka, a student of history, would love to celebrate with his Ibusa West Niger kinsmen and settlers who left Isu to melt into Anioma nationhood with migrants from other regions. Thus, even at short notice, the traditional ruler will review his schedule to make the event.

PEN MASTER can exclusively confirm that His Majesty will make the event with a high-powered delegation, including the Ezewanyi, his wife.

Already, Pen Master has reported that HRM Obi Prof Louis Chelunor Nwaoboshi, the Obuzo of Ibusa, will be in attendance as the Special Guest of Honour.

Also expected at the event are Hon. Innocent Esewezie, the indefatigable Oshimili North LGA Council Boss and unstoppable award winner for his administrative prowess and leadership.

The men and women of the press will also be on ground to beam the cultural event to the world.

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...
