On December 28, 2022, Ugbele women especially from Umudiudara made up of Umulolo, Umuiheamam, Umuojukwu and Ohewe kindreds will witness yet another give-away Christmas celebration by one of her illustrious sons, Chief Keonye Ahamefule, the Akushinanna 1 of Akah land and his wife, Lolo Oby Ahamefule, Ahudiye 1 of Akah.
The couple who teamed up under their charity organization known as Akushinanna and Ahudiye Foundation will on the said date empower and celebrate Christmas for the less privileged Umudiudara women. The event which will hold at the country home of the Ahamefules known as Southern Belt Settlement SBS, in Umulolo Ugbele-Akah will kick off by 10 am.
It can be recalled that last year, Umuaka Times reported the event thus, “The women were grouped into five, according to their years of marriage. This was to target the younger ones that were still vibrant in their businesses, for higher prizes.
The lottery started at 11:30am, when the women filed out to pick the tickets. They were told to keep their tickets intact and sealed until they were instructed to open it. They all obeyed and when all had picked from the big bucket, they were instructed to go back to their seats.”
Mrs. Akudo Dike emerged the star price winner with the sum of NGN75,000 followed by NGN50,000 winners. In the category of NGN20,000 were five lucky women, followed by sixteen others that won NGN10,000 each. In NGN5,000 and NGN2,000 were twenty five and thirty four women respectively”.
