| Late Chief Onowu uzorka obiosa |
After 28 years of his death and burial, family and friends of community leader, politician and socialite Chief Onowu Uzorka Obiosa has rolled out the drums to celebrate his life and times.
Obiosa was a
social and political figure acclaimed to be one of the builders of Ijesha
Surulere Lagos where he has a street named after him and in his home town of
Ndoni River state Nigeria where he was well known as Azaka 1 of Ndoni Kingdom.
As early as
2 pm on that day, friends and well wishers as well as family members had
started trooping into his palatial house to join in the “matters arising.”

| Late Azaka Ndoni |
In a
statement by Onyeka Obiosa, “Azaka believed in justice and equity and was
fearless. He died on May Day. It was on a Sunday 1st of May 1994.
This year fully coincided with everything about his death. It is a Sunday and
it is May Day. We decided to
worship God in our various churches then return to his house for light
refreshment. My siblings and I feel happy for the noble ideas he instilled in
all of us and pledge to keep his flag flying very high and at full mast”
Also speaking, one of his daughters Mrs Ojinika Owoseni decsribed her daddy "as one in a million".
