Pen Master's 9 Ibusa 'Girls' Who Do Amazing Things

The Ibusa community is a vibrant hub of human capital, boasting an impressive array of successful individuals who have made their mark in various fields. Renowned figures like Pat Utomi, Fred Ajudua, Walter Akpani, Zik Zulu Okafor, Frank Atuche, Sebastian Adigwe, and Kingsley Obiekwu are just a few examples of the community's accomplished members.

While the achievements of Ibusa's men are well-documented, the community's women, particularly its young and talented females, have remained largely under the radar. To shine a spotlight on these unsung heroes, we present a showcase of 9 amazing women from Ibusa who are making waves in their respective fields.

1. Beverly Naya: Beverly Naya is an amazing 'girl' from Ibusa. The Nollywood actress who has featured in several movies is about the most popular Ibusa female face in Nollywood.

2. Bose Omolayo: Not many know that Bose Ogomegbunem Omolayo hails from Ibusa but the paralympic icon is from the community. Bose Omolayo is a world record holder in Paralympic Games who recently won a silver medal from the global competition and was decorated in Abuja by the wife of the President, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu. Although there were voices for the Ibusa community to honour her, nothing was heard from the community up to this moment. Bose Omolayo is an Ibusa 'girl' doing wonders.

3. Korea Obidi: Not many also know that the 33-year old songwriter, dancer and performer hails from the Ibusa community but indeed, Anita Chukwufumnanya 'Korra' Obidi, one of the world's best dancers is from the famous Obidi family of the community. Obidi is one of the Ibusa 'girls' in stardom today.

4. Ekene Nancy Umeh: Ekene Nancy Umeh is a sister to Korra Obidi. The healthy and adventurous cook who prevents illness with food is also one of the Ibusa bloggers with the highest number of followers on her Facebook page. Indeed, like Korra Obidi, Nancy Umeh, the Ibusa 'girl' makes things happen.

5. Nicki Moore: Born to Ibusa parents, Nicki Moore is breaking the movie grounds and making waves in the United Kingdom. She is about the best known Ibusa movie producer, churning out internationally-acclaimed movies that are watched by many in the United Kingdom, Nigeria and other parts of the world. Interestingly, the Ibusa 'girl' is near home and loves her Ibusa community. She takes interest in the affairs of her community.

6. Genevieve Nkem Nwajei who is better known by her pen-name, "Genevieve-Irene Nwajei is a creative writer with the recent work, "Soulful Thoughts." The University of Benin graduate of Banking and Finance, is noted for her ability to listen carefully then transform her clients' thoughts into that feeling as their own. Indeed, the Ibusa 'girl' is a committed writer.

7. Patricia Oyana: Patricia Oyana better known as "Patoski" is a Nigerian politician and media aide to Oshimili North Council Chairman. Patoski is not only consistent but has proven herself to be one of the best performing female political media 'girls' with amazing deeds. Many will obviously want to work with her.

8. Kobindi Ofili: Hard working Kobindi Ofili is a recent introduction to fruits and a healthy lifestyle, and the amazing Ibusa 'girl' is the best known in this endeavour. Ibusa-born Ofili is wonderful in oration, making herbal and fruitful delivery of the benefits of sweetish vegetables, petioles and rhubarbs to human health. For her, it is serious business.

9. Oluchi Tobechukwu: Oluchi Tobechukwu better known as "Oluchi Tobex Tobe-Chukwu" in the Nigerian sports sector, is a sportswriter. She seems the biggest Ibusa name actively involved in sports today. Incidentally, only four days ago, she bid farewell as Super Falcons Chief Media Officer, a position she held for four years. It was also a position that saw Nigeria's women national football team dominate the sports in Africa. Her last words were touching, "Thank you, Nigerians, the President and Board Members of the NFF, and everyone who supported, counseled, and criticized positively. I appreciate you all.” Although the Ibusa society rarely honours women, together with Bose Omolayo, Oluchi is one of the women deserving of the honour of the Ibusa Community Development Union Worldwide, Ibusa Women Professionals, Otu Ehulu Fulu, and the community's other recognized bodies. A society should honour people who excel in their endeavour or invite the people honour.

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.

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...
