 Pen Master Unveils Photos of Cynthia Nwamaka Jibunoh, Set to Emerge as New Omu of Onicha-Olona

For the first time, Pen Master is unveiling photographs of Cynthia Nwamaka Jibunoh, the woman widely favoured to succeed the late Omu Ntoka, the former Omu of Onicha-Olona, and assume the revered traditional leadership position of the community’s female institution.

The development follows recent efforts by the Onicha-Olona community to revive its female traditional institution after a six-year interregnum. In the course of the process, Cynthia Nwamaka Jibunoh, an indigene of Idumu-Ozolumuna in the Ogbe-Obi axis of Onicha-Olona, has emerged as the leading candidate for the prestigious position.

Her anticipated emergence is significant, as the installation will restore continuity to an institution that has remained without an Omu for six years. If installed as expected, Jibunoh will become the latest Omu in the Anioma region, further underscoring the cultural importance of the occasion.

Pen Master presents three photographs of the woman at the centre of this historic development. The images capture her in both her pre-chalked and chalked states, offering readers a glimpse of the traditional rites and preparations associated with her impending installation.

The installation ceremony is scheduled to take place on August 28, 2026, in Onicha-Olona, where preparations are already gathering momentum ahead of the historic event.

As anticipation builds within and beyond the community, congratulatory messages have continued to pour in for Cynthia Nwamaka Jibunoh, her family, and the people of Onicha-Olona.

The expected installation promises to mark a new chapter in the history of the community’s female traditional institution and a significant moment in the preservation and renewal of Anioma cultural heritage.
