UMUEZE OKUNANO: The True Story

UMUEZE OKUNANO: The true story!

For those of us who may have heard the true story of Umueze Okunano, Please speak now for posterity's sake. There's been different versions of the people's history. One school of thought have told us that Umueze can be traced to Amodu as Nwa Ada Amodu married to ihunakwagu-Akpugo , who eventually was forcefully displaced in a misconception after the death of her husband. She and her offsprings returned to Amodu and we're settled Where we all know today as"Umueze"

The other version of the story, one can always hear from the Umueze people is that their own father, Umueze was the first born-son of Akegbe Ogwugwueze, hence they now bear his presumed surname "Eze"

Presumed because the name  Ogwugwueze is one name and the Umueze people should have gone by the name " UmuOgwugwueze" and not "Umueze" 

There are obviously some gaps as we can all see from the two illustrations. Therefore, Let's do justice to this by contributing constructively to put this part of our history straight. I will be tagging the Chairman of Awkunanaw traditional rulers council alongside other eminent authorities in Okunanoland to please do justice to this topic.

Let's Remember Chiji Agbo Today!!!

Image
Ten years on and it looks as if it was just yesterday. The memories about him remain evergreen because he lives in the hearts that he touched. And they are many! Neither a star nor comet heralded his birth on March 19, 1942 but the then rusty Amechi, Awkunanaw community in today’s Enugu State had the presence of mind to recognize that a child who would later shine brighter than star had been born. And 10 years ago when he joined the saints, beyond Awkunanaw, the world was aware that that a star had dimed but not his name, not his good deeds while on earth. The death of Chief Chiji Agbo brings to an end, an elegant era. Born to the family of late Chief Nwankwo Agbo and Madam Comfort Agbo, Chiji, a seasoned industrialist died on July 17, 2005. A man with a good heart, Chiji would rather surrender his last kobo to the needy rather than see the them suffer. As a landlord, he was an unusual one to his tenants who he treated like his own biological children. Chiji would ...
