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 Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents.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

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...
