  Empowerment Triumph: Naomi's World Uplifts Ibusa Youths, Certificates Presented with Jubilation 


Story By Emeka Esogbue


For the people of Ibusa in Delta State, it has been a season of empowerment in the community as participants graduated from Naomi's World youth empowerment program on Thursday. The 17-day empowerment initiative, which took place at the Umuodogwu Hall in the community, was a celebration of milestones as successful beneficiaries were awarded certificates upon graduation.



The graduates used the occasion to showcase their accomplishments by giving guests the opportunity to sample their delicious food and take home handcrafted items. Naomi's World equipped the young people with skills in baking, hair weaving, soap production, perfume, freshener, bleach manufacturing, and other areas, instilling a sense of self-reliance and survival instincts.



Notable attendees included Miss Isioma Nelly Okonji, the current Ambassador of the People of Oshimili North (POoN), and Miss Jane Ngozi Nwajei, who were present to support the youth initiative in the community.


When the program's forms became available, parents in the community contacted PEN MASTER to inquire about how to obtain them. One parent from Ibusa expressed amazement upon discovering that the program and forms were free.



Photos showed happy graduates cutting cake and proudly holding up their certificates.


The Naomi's World Youth Empowerment Program, initiated by Miss Naomi Dada Okoisor, is an annual event with a positive philanthropic impact on the youths of Ibusa.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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

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.
