 Your Asagbaship Carries Renewed Hope for Anioma - Obi Dr. Ajudua Congratulates Obi Prof Azinge


By Emeka Esogbue


Following the Asagba coronation, Obi Dr. Henry Ajudua 1 has sent a congratulatory message to Obi Prof Epiphany Azinge. 



In a message personally sent to PEN MASTER titled "Obi Prof Azinge's Asagbaship, Hope Rekindled in Anioma Future," Obi Dr. Henry Ajudua 1 appreciated the choice of the Asaba people in Obi Prof Epiphany Azinge, noting that collective support from the sons and daughters of Anioma will see to a fruitful reign, which will ultimately benefit the Anioma people. 


He stated that beyond Asaba, Obi Prof Azinge, the new Asagba, inspires new hope for the entire people of Anioma. 


"Anioma is now a 'regional village,' interconnected and interdependent with one another, where indigenes of all the communities are now closely linked and events in one community also have a significant impact on other communities of the region."


"It is for this reason that many outside Asaba are showing interest in the Asagba traditional position and rooting for Obi Prof Azinge." 


Obi Dr. Henry Ajudua 1 also took the opportunity to call on Anioma people to respect the traditional laws and customs of their communities as a way to culturally reposition Anioma. He said that increased accessibility and cultural exchange and diversity among the people will further promote the culture of the Anioma people.


Obi Prof Epiphany Azinge, SAN, a seasoned Lawyer was on Saturday, crowned the 14th Asagba of Asaba in a ceremony well attended by the people of the community.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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

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. No history has proved these ancestries otherwise…” Esogbue (2015:14) further admitted that: “there is always tendency for researchers to an extent to assign the whole of...
