Brilliant Edward Abiagom from the Ibusa community was one of the top 20 performers on the list released by Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) in Abuja, the nation's capital.


The list, "Top 20 Highest JAMB Score for 2024/2025 Academic Session," shows Abiagom Edward C brilliantly sitting on number 16 out of the first 20 with a splendid score of 348.

Consequently, PEN MASTER carried out diligent findings which revealed that Abiagom Edward hailed from Anioma's Ibusa community and is the son of Mr. Ike Abiagom, Publisher of Grassroots Newspaper Publishers, a subsidiary of Newsbreeze Newspaper.

Subsequent inquiries disclosed that the University of Benin is the university of young Abiagom Edward Chinonso's choice, as requested and that he has selected Electrical/Electronic Engineering as his major.

Broken down, the UTME acknowledged-slip shows that the candidate, Abiagom Edward Chinonso with Reg No: 202441807707DF recorded Eng: 65, Math: 93, Phy: 95, CHE: 95; an aggregate of 348.

When contacted on the issue, sources from the community who spoke to PEN MASTER on the condition of anonymity said he was not surprised at the distinctive performance of Abiagom.

"The Ibusa people are known for their academic brilliance," he said.

"The colonial administration's early construction of educational institutions in the community facilitated the development of human capital in the community."

"Edward Abiagom deserves constant supervision since he has done Ibusa proud. People like him deserve to enjoy scholarship from our people to soar," he concluded.

In 2020, 12-year old Chika Ofili from the community made news for discovering a new mathematical formula and was honoured with TruLittle Hero Awards.

Edward Chinonso Abiagom hails from Isieke in Ibusa, Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.

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.
