 Top 18 Anioma Personalities And How They Love To Be Remembered - Emeka Esogbue A few well-known Anioma figures were asked how they would like to be remembered. Naturally, some of them felt compelled to respond with their wishes, while others, for various reasons, felt compelled to remain silent or to provide an explanation other than their actual response. PEN MASTER presents you with a list of notable Anioma people and the legacies they would like to be remembered for by the next generation in this motivating compilation.  HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED? "I would like to be remembered as a Marxist in Christ who was allergic to social injustice, nepotism, bad leadership in Nigeria and in other Third World countries; acts of bully, intimidation, domination and discrimination of all kinds, corruption and above all, blind followership. I would like to be remembered for being consistent in my fight against all of them." ----Comrade Ephraim Adinlofu, Social Crusader, Public ...

 DR EMEKA ESOGBUE AND I  Dr Emeka Esogbue aka Pen Master, Author, Historian, Media Consultant & Strategist, Art Afficionado and a community leader pursues whatever he believes in, with highest level of commitment. We have been relating for many years until we met at a book launch in Lagos on April 15th, 2017. The book: "The Story of Ubulu Kingdom" was written by Esther Wright. Before we met, he had known ourselves due to reasons I may attribute to our Mutual Intelligibilty.  We did not meet again but we relate everyday. The next place we would have met again would have been at the inaugural lecture organised by Anioma Watch Social Association, where I gave a lecture on the topic: "Preservation of Anioma Ancestral Heritage: A Fresh Look at the Indiscriminate Sale of Land" . No thanks for his flight cancelation that day.  The Ibusa born writer and publisher is blessed with a very strong native intelligence. Added to the native intelligence is his writing prowess. ...

2022 11 ANIOMA NATIVES, CURRENTLY BEHIND THE PROMOTION OF ANIOMA CULTURE Although the Anioma people are blessed with rich and unique aspects of culture, many of which cannot be found anywhere else, only very little were known of the people's culture before now. This was due to several reasons and one such implication was the near assimilation of the people until a set of people rose to the occasion.  However, with time, not a few natives started some projects and initiatives that assisted in preserving and promoting the people's culture. This compendium offers a list of some of these individuals from different parts of the region's communities.  1. Standing tall on the list is Arch Kester Ifeadi who needs no introduction to the cultural space of Anioma. Arch Ifeadi, an Architect by profession, is the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Contemporary Group with experience spanning over 25 years and still counting. He is a former Assistant Lecturer at the Universi...
