ENUANI ACADEMY: OMU ANIOMA HAILS VERONICA UFOEGBUNE

 ENUANI ACADEMY: OMU ANIOMA HAILS VERONICA UFOEGBUNE 



- Dr Emeka Esogbue


The Omu of Okpanam/Anioma and Nneoha, HRM Obi Dr Martha Dunkwu, has hailed Dr Veronica Ufoegbune who on Saturday unveiled the Enuani Language Academy to the world. 


Speaking on the development, HRM Obi Dr Martha Dunkwu said, "We have to thank God that we are alive to witness this measure of advancement of our people's linguistics."


"We have to preserve our dialect and not allow it to die," the Omu declared. 


"I wholeheartedly appreciate Dr. Veronica Ufoegbune for her quantum of contribution to advancing our people. Knowledge hoarded is Knowledge wasted."


"A million thanks are not enough to appreciate you, Dr. Ufoegbune. You have seen good days. My prayer is that you will see brighter days in good health, peace, and more progress."


On Saturday, PEN MASTER reported Anioma Daughter, Veronica Ufoegbune's project of the launching of the Enuani Language Academy website by the ace Enuani Linguist from the Issele-Uku community in partnership with Ndienuani TV. 


The cultural website of the Enuani people which came alive on Sept 16, 2023, at 7.00 a.m., PDT is embedded with the pictures of HRM Obi Dr. Dunkwu and other Anioma figures identified with the socio-cultural promotion of the Anioma Region.


The Omu Anioma has remained at the forefront of the promotion of Anioma culture and is globally acknowledged especially by culture scholars from around the world. The Omu Anioma has put Omuship, Okpanam, and Anioma on the global cultural map and is institutionally seen as Okpanam culture arrowhead by many within and outside the community.


In recent times, she has also been praised for advocating the coalescence of the Enuani communities to make identifiable progress in all areas possible hoping that the people's leaders will heed the call. 


Many believe that Ndienuani Language Academy will address the almost dying dialect of the Enuani Nation and also preserve the people's culture to enable the people to identifiably fit into global perspectives.

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.
