Remember Our Years of Lamentation, Repair Ebu Road, Sir Ulakatu Begs Gov Oborevwori of Delta State


 Remember Our Years of Lamentation, Repair Ebu Road, Sir Ulakatu Begs Gov Oborevwori of Delta State


By Emeka Esogbue


Reprief may well come the way of the people of Ebu as Sir Ulakatu Philip, a concerned indigene of the community in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State, is urging Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to repair the long-neglected Ebu road. This road, built by Chief Denis Osadebey, the former Premier of the Midwestern Region, has been in disrepair for over a decade, despite its strategic importance to several communities, including Issele-Uku, Onicha-Olona, Ezi, Ukala, and Ebu 


Sir Ulakatu Philip plea comes after Ossai Ovie Success shared a list of the Governor's projects in Aniomaland on the Anioma Watch Social Association forum, a socio-cultural organization of the Anioma people. He emphasized that the road's neglect has rendered local PDP politicians voiceless, despite the community's consistent voting support.


Sir Ulakatu, a topmost retired Civil Servant recalled that the Ebu community produced the likes of late Israel Amadi Emina and other political heavyweights who contributed their quotas towards the socio-political and economic development of the present Delta State. 


Interestingly, Governor Oborevwori has demonstrated his commitment to road infrastructure development in Delta State. Recently, his administration commenced remedial works on the Old Umutu-Eku road, providing an alternative route to alleviate the suffering of commuters on the deplorable federal road 


Sir Ulakatu Philip, a respected voice in the community who is also a member of the highly revered Knight of St. John International (KSJI) believes that the Governor can win back the people of Ebu if he restores the road. 


"This road has become such a challenge to PDP in the state and the Governor, if he breaks the jinx, will also earn greater support from our Ebu people," he signed off. 


The situation between Governor Oborevwori's administration and the Ebu people's demands will unfold in due time. It's hoped that the Governor will win over the people's hearts by addressing their concerns, particularly the long-overdue repair of the Ebu road. This move would not only improve infrastructure but also demonstrate the Governor's commitment to his constituents.

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...
