		When I came down to Onitsha, I still had the aspiration to see to the erection of another seminary, because the one provincial seminary we have, which is at Enugu, was crowded, and authentic formation of the seminarians was practically nullified by the huge numbers - 700 strong.
		Onitsha archdiocese, as a diocese, has the greatest number of seminarians, I presume to say, in the whole world, with 282 seminarians.
		And they proposed that Onitsha and Awka be the first dioceses where these seminaries could be erected, because these two dioceses have the greatest number of seminarians in the province.

	Onitsha Market Literature
		Emmanuel Obiechina, a prominent scholar of Onitsha market literature, argues that this African popular literature is "an integral, if unique and startling, part of the West African creative scene."2 These voices from the bookstalls of an African market enhance our understanding of other cultural contexts and provide valuable perspectives on a wide range of themes.
		The Onitsha collection at KU consists of an array of popular literature collected in 1966 by Thomas R. Buckman, former KU Director of Libraries.
		Onitsha market literature is grounded among the masses, and it is their voices that we hear in this amazing collection.

		Onitsha could possibly mean a people that left "On", or children of "On" or those that were given the responsibility to protect the purpose of "On" or it could be people who cut away from "On",i.e kewapu from 'On." I subscribe to the last view.
		Onitsha is the reestablishment of the ancient city of "On" in prophecy in compliance with the ancient city of On.
		What this group argues is that Onitsha people might have stumbled on their own religious or social practices which may be independent of similar discoveries in other parts of the world at the same or even different times.

		One of such uniqueness is the place of the traditional ruler, the Obi of Onitsha, that occupies the apex position in the kingdom and also a space in the contemporary Nigerian history.
		But of recent, this cherished Onitsha monarchy has become a weapon of disunity, ridicule and almost disintegration of the town, which houses the commercial nerve centre of Anambra State and a market touted as the largest in the whole of West Africa.
		It is believed in some quarters in Onitsha that because Achebe ascended the throne through controversial circumstances, those who officiated the installation became victims of mysterious misfortunes, as some of them joined their ancestors early.

		Onitsha is too important not only to Ndigbo but to Nigeria as a commercial nerve-centre to be exposed to this kind of crisis with other negative implications.
		Having said this, the crisis in the Onitsha royal stool over who is the true elected Obi is one of those issues which affects Igbo people and which Ohanaeze is bound to show interest in without necessarily getting itself involved in the conflict.
		Onitsha is an important commercial city in the land of Igbo and we want our people and their neighbours to do their businesses in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

		Knowing fully well the impropriety of their action both in law and Onitsha custom and tradition, they immediately went into hiding to avoid arrest and have resorted to issuing press statements and speaking with the media via cellular telephones from their hiding places.
		It is interesting that they waited for three years whilst Onitsha was successfully re-ordering itself under her new monarch before their suicidal bid to challenge Umuezechima in their selection of Obi Achebe.
		We, the indigenous community of Onitsha Ado N'ldu, will not stand by whilst our history, culture, tradition and all we have stood for are consigned to the rubbish bin by two individuals and their puppets.

		Onitsha tells the story of Fintan, a youth who travels to Africa in 1948 with his Italian mother to join the English father he has never met.
		Fintan is initially enchanted by the exotic world he discovers in Onitsha, a bustling city prominently situated on the eastern bank of the Niger River.
		In the words of translator Alison Anderson, Onitsha is remarkable for its “almost mythological evocation of local history and beliefs.” It is full of atmosphere—sights, sounds, smells —and at times the author’s sentences seem to flow with the dreamy languor of the river itself.

		It states that “The Struggle for Money” is “tired of love making and left it out entirely.” (1) In the introduction, Okafo pokes fun at the other pamphlets’ emphasis on lovemaking and rampant messages about pulling yourself out of poverty through hard work.
		However, it is clear that Okafo had a political message in mind that challenged the prevailing climate of the pamphlets and presumably Onitsha Market itself.
		The play opens with the central character’s father dying and declaring the injustices associated with a society where money is the only thing of importance.
