 Umu Oshimili Social Group Embarks on Charity Outreach to Ibusa Healthcare Centre, Donates Relief Materials to Patients




By Emeka Esogbue


The Port Harcourt Branch of the Umu Oshimili Social Group on Monday carried out a humanitarian outreach to Okponta Healthcare Centre in Ibusa, Delta State, where it made donations to support patients receiving treatment at the facility.


The outreach team, led by Mrs. Justina Nneamaka Okwuoma, a prominent member of the Port Harcourt Branch, visited the centre to encourage patients and demonstrate solidarity with those facing health challenges. During the visit, members of the group also commended the healthcare workers for their commitment and diligence in providing care despite the challenges confronting the sector.


As part of the charity exercise, the group donated several bedspreads and sanitary pads for the use of patients. According to the group, the items were carefully selected to help improve hygiene and comfort within the healthcare facility, particularly for vulnerable patients.


Members of the Umu Oshimili Social Group described the outreach as part of their ongoing commitment to giving back to society and supporting community-based healthcare institutions. They noted that such initiatives align with the group’s broader vision of promoting compassion, service, and communal responsibility.


The Port Harcourt Branch has a growing record of charitable activities. In 2024, the branch visited an orphanage in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, a gesture that many observers now see as the beginning of an annual outreach tradition embraced by members of the group.


Umu Oshimili Social Group was founded in April 2022 by Onowu Roy Ogbolu from Ibusa. Its membership is drawn from various parts of Anioma, reflecting a broad cultural and communal base. The group currently operates four branches across the country and is guided by objectives that include fostering unity, strengthening friendship, and promoting cooperation among members from different communities within the Anioma region.


The group is presently led by its President, Mr. Basil Okwuokei from Illah, under whose leadership it continues to expand its social impact and commitment to humanitarian service.

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...
