Awka-North and Awba-Ofemili: Undeniable part of Omabala family by Nick Ibeh - ITREALMS

Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

Preamble:
I seize this opportunity to appreciate everyone who has contributed to the ongoing discourse concerning whether Awka North in general - and Awba Ofemili in particular - is part of the Omabala region. 

As with every matter involving identity, history, and culture, the arguments have been balanced and rich, shaped largely by individual perception, understanding, and exposure.

Fostering understanding:
I was particularly impressed by the incisive, thoughtful, and educative contributions of our erudite sons - Comrade Fred Nwanna and Ozo Remmy Nweke. Your clarity of thought and depth of insight have illuminated many grey areas and helped foster greater understanding.
