Season of Love and Giving: Igbuzo Singles Meet Embarks on Charity in Ibusa Community

 Season of Love and Giving: Igbuzo Singles Meet Embarks on Charity in Ibusa Community



By Emeka Esogbue


The Igbuzo Singles Meet (ISM) Worldwide on Saturday carried out a charity outreach in the Ibusa community, Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State, as part of its commitment to love, compassion, and community service.



Led by the Vice-President of the group, Ms. Naomi Dada Okoisor, members of ISM went round the community to carry out the philanthropic exercise, reaching out to carefully identified families in need. Items distributed included bags of rice, tinned tomatoes, cooking oil, Knorr cubes, salt, and other essential food items.


The outreach was carried out with warmth and humility, as the items were presented with words of encouragement and prayers for the beneficiaries. Many of the recipients, most of whom were elderly, were taken by surprise, having not anticipated the visit or the gifts. The distribution covered the ten quarters that make up the Ibusa community, symbolically reflecting the traditional “ebo ili” composition that unites the town.



In appreciation, the beneficiaries offered prayers and blessings for members of the Igbuzo Singles Meet Worldwide, expressing gratitude for the timely gesture.


Founded in 2011 by Dr. Emeka Esogbue, who also serves as its President-General, Igbuzo Singles Meet Worldwide has grown steadily over the years. The group currently operates branches in Lagos and Anioma and continues to record successful marriages among its members, thereby promoting and strengthening Ibusa marriage traditions—one of the core objectives of its establishment.


One of the notable contributors to the charity outreach was Onowu Chuks Odume, a long-standing supporter of the Igbuzo Singles Meet Worldwide, whose generosity has continued to support the group’s humanitarian and social initiatives.

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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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

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! ...

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...
