The Discussion Forum flagged-off with an informative and entertaining opening remark given by Prof. Amatokwu. In his remarks, he expressed his delight for the invitation extended to him by the Ibusa Like-minds Association, while acknowledging that the Discussion was a timely one. He further noted that Ibusa has always been in the limelight socio-culturally, and recounted how Ibusa recorded history in Ekumeku and Cassava wars. He described the military courage of Ibusa in the words of a British Anthropology who described how Ibusa utilized trenches to prosecute wars. He recollected the history of healthy competition between Ibusa, Asaba, Okpanam and Ogwashi-Uku in which Ibusa triumphed with the Nigerian number of military officers that prosecuted the Nigerian Biafran War, and the greatest number of professors from the town. According to him, Ibusa has emerged as the fountain head of Delta state.


On the culture of dressing in Otogwu attire which is fast dying out in Ibusa, Florence Bob-Okonkwo spoke on the need to make dressing in the attire to some traditional occasions compulsory. Professor Fidelis Amatokwu would further suggest that getting designers to be versatile in the art of Otogwu fabrics and moving it into the youth market in form of jeans, scarf, skirts, trousers, and generally as a beauty apparel will ensure that people buy them. To him, the Yoruba scholars popularized the Asho-oke attire, and Ibusa scholars can also do the same, if Otogwu is to remain with the Ibusa society.
