The Political Development Of The Rural Village Of Umuchu To A Great City by investnow2013: 11:52am On Nov 20, 2016 |
BRIEF HISTORY OF UMUCHU Umuchu is a border town between Anambra and Imo State of Nigeria. It lies on the southwestern extremity of the present Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State. It is bounded on the south by Arondizuogu, Umualaoma and Akokwa in Ideato South Local Government Area of Imo State on the north, and northwest by Achina and Enugu Umuonyia respectively , in the west by Uga and Amesi, and in the east by Umuomaku, Umunze and Agho-Mmili River. It is about 8.5 kilometers from Uga at the Junction between Awka-Orlu-Okigwe-Onitsha roads. The town is located on a table land at a height of about 180 meters above sea level, which shelves down a valley eastwards where Umuomaku and Umunze are situated. The town has an estimated land area of 48.6 square kilometres with an estimated population of 310,000 making her one of the most thickly populated communities in Aguata Local Government Area. Umuchu is made up of three major traditional village-groups (section): namely, Ihitenato, Amanasaa and Okpu-na-Achalla. Each of these village-groups (sections) is again made up of villages and each village traces its origin to its own ancestral root. The Ihitanato is made up of Ugwuakwu, Umugama and Ozara-Akukwa and are settled on the western and north western parts of the town. The Amanasaa is made up of Ogu, Osete Umuilo, Umubogu, Umuojogwo, Umuojum, and Amihe villages; and they are found on the eastern and northern fringes of the town. The third village-group Okpu-na-Achalla with the largest, and of cause, the richest land area, is made up of Ibughubu and Achalla and is located on the southern part of the town. At the advent of the British Colonial administration, seven Warrant Chiefs were altogether appointed from the various villages. These were Chief Dimazoro Nsofor for Ugwuakwu, Chief Umeoduagu Anyida for Umugama, Chief Okwareke Okwarogo for Akukwa, Chief Ezenwata Ezeanyim for Imenano (i.e Ogwugwu), Ogu and Osete, Chief Unozo Nwekete for Amihe, Chief Mbachu Adowu for Ibughubu, Chief Muotolo Mbelu for Achalla. Others like Ogbogu Ezeanyanaso of Osete and Ikevu of Ibughubu were then recognised as headmen, but not warrant chiefs. Umuchu is thus, a community with a local administration system that is made up of the Igwe-in-council and the Umuchu Representative Assembly (URA) led by the Town President, all of whom are responsible for the internal affairs of the community. The community’s quest for a paramount and political Chief gave rise to the installation of Mr. I.O Ofobuike MFR, as the first Paramount Igwe of Umuchu on March 11, 1967, with the title of Ezeora 1 of Umuchu. Chief W.I.Ojiakor became the Traditional Prime Minister. At the passing on of Late Igwe I.O.Ofobuike MFR, and after his last Ofala, the Umuchu Community, on May 2003 unanimously crowned Chief Godson O Ezechukwu KSJ, JP, the Second Paramount Igwe Umuchu with the title name: Okwuloha 1 Umuchu. By Leo Nnoli Up coming Events Our plan for 2016, will be the second phase of Fund raising to continue to work on projects that benefits the Umuchu Community. We have identified both small and big areas where the community are desperate for help, such a water supply in Schools, Hospitals and sign plates in 14 villages in the town. We would be grateful for any help to achieve some of these We would welcome partners to help us, and please subscribe and look out for details on these, and how to join us You can also donate by using the button on the right for any of our projects. Kindly, let us know if you would want your donation for a specific project, we would welcome that and it will help us to prioritise according to the wishes of our funders.. · © 2016 UCAS · Designed by Techspaceone · Back to top 1 Like |

A visit to Eagles Farms, Umuchu, Anambra State by the Anambra State agriculture team has accentuated the fact that the entrepreneurial spirit of Ndi Anambra is the major ingredient that will transform agriculture in the state. Eagle Farms is a food processing and animal production company with equipment fabricated 100% in Anambra. Eagle Farms Cattle Ranch raises cattle within a confined perimeter and produces feed for the cattle within the farm. Therefore, the cattle do not need to wander about in search of pasture. The Ministry of Agriculture Mechanization, Processing and Exports is therefore calling on Ndi Anambra to invest in cattle rearing and drive innovation in this sector. Start small and grow big. The demand for beef is too much of a market to be ignored. Advisory services will be offered by Eagle Farms under guidance from the Ministry of Agriculture *On cattle grazing- nations that do not innovate will go extinct. Nigeria must get innovative now* 1 Like
