History of Ohafia People and Culture

Abia

Ohafia is a town and local government area in abia state, Nigeria. It is an igbo speaking region. The ancestral capital of Ohafia is located in the village of Elu. The Ohafia Local Government Area also includes the towns of Abiriba and Nkporo.

Historcally, Ohafia people left Andoli and settled in Isi-Eke, from
where they ran away one night, when they heard the rattling
sound of calabashes. The sound was interpreted to mean that they were being
invaded which lead to a commotion, as some of them escaped toward Ngodo and others went towards Isuochi. At one point, some of them headed towards Abam leading the group heading to Abam, was a man known as Ezeama Atita, and two
sons called Uduma Ezeama and Onyereobi Ezeama. When they got to Abam,
Onyereobi's wife, who was heavy with pregnancy, could no longer walk. He,
therefore, remained in Abam with his pregnant wife, while the group

Tambuwal: God Bless The Police

The news on the defection of the outgoing speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressive Congress (APC) has become a matter of national discuss in the past few days, with analysts and commentators jumping in to share a piece of their thoughts. The polity went upscale when the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) withdrew the security details attached to Hon. Tambuwal.

First, it is important that every patriotic Nigerian give kudos to Hon. Tambuwal for repositioning the House of Representatives as a stakeholder in the Nigeria project. He deserves resounding applause for his dogged and relentless efforts in taking the legislative arm away from the stranglehold of the executive and repositioning it as a symbol of authority as against the coalition of yes-men.

“Do or die politics” also the preserve of the President?

“President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday urged political office seekers to shun desperation, saying that their ambitions should never be ‘do or die’ in the interest of the nation… Jonathan also warned the leadership of the party at all levels against the imposition of candidates for various offices”. Vanguard 01 11 2014

Since one can never really be sure which media report to believe and what might constitutespreading falsehood, I again start with a quoted report from the Vanguard media credited to President Jonathan. Reading the report cited in the vanguard news link above, it is easy to spot a double speak from the president and one begins to wonder if he finds time to reflect on what he says and does if only to bridge the ever expanding gulf between his words and deeds. On the surface, his appeal to party members to shun desperation is a sign of statesmanship, a noble call from a well-meaning leader and an acknowledgement of the

In Scavengia With Boko and Blokos Haram

Welcome to Scavengia.
Major cities - (1) Predatoria (commercial capital). (2)  Parasity (political capital).

Scavengia's national flag is a black rag. Black to signify a perpetual darkness that covers the land. Darkness that exists because this is what elite Scavengians prefer. They prefer darkness because under its cover, men and women can indulge all appetites without fear of being seen.

But all is not well in Scavengia.

For a number of years, people in the north-east have been terrorised by a group of men who call themselves 'boko haram'. But this is not the real reason why all is not well in Scavengia. While a part of the country has been under seige fom boko haram, the more insidious activities of blokos haram covers the entire geographical space.

FG Commended For Starting Job On Nkporo-Abiriba-Ohafia Road Project.I did Ohafia people Need Road?

Some traditional rulers in Abia have  expressed happiness over the commencement of the construction of the Nkporo-Abiriba-Ohafia Road in Abia to Osso Edda Road in Ebonyi by the Federal Government.
The rulers made the commendation in interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday, when the Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, launched the commencement of the job at the Abia end of the road.
They expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for awarding the contract for the project and said its completion would alleviate the suffering of the people.
Eze Patrick Ogbuagu, the traditional ruler of Nkporo Autonomous Community, described the commencement of the work as ‘’an answer to many years of crying for the government to come to our aid’’.
Ogbuagu, who described his community as predominantly agrarian, said that the road would help farmers to transport their farm produce to other parts of the state.
He said it was regrettable that a lot of farm produce rotted away after every harvest because of the difficulties faced by farmers in transporting their produce.
