About Akah National Union, USA

Akah National Union - USA (ANU)—a nonprofit organization, is a union of the people of all the former 10 villages that were collectively called “Umuakah” (the offspring or descendants of Akah, their father) in the U.S. The former 10 villages are Ubah, Isiozi, Achara, Amiyi, Ugbele, Ibele, Umuele, Amakor, Obeakpu, and Obinwanne (order of seniority to be confirmed).

Each of the villages remains a constituency of Akah National Union -USA (ANU) irrespective of its present or future status. In other words, a constituent village remains so even if its status changes from village to an autonomous city or community.

Purpose of the Union

The members of ANU came together to be united as a people in the US, and to forge heads together to tackle down inter-village conflicts and the menaces of poverty, illiteracy, and inefficiency that have been weighing down on their people back home.

Umuakah of the former 10 villages is a rural community of approximately 52,000 people. Although, the town has produced many educated professionals who are resident in the US, it is rural, primitive, and poor. Due to ignorance or illiteracy of citizens, the town is surrounded by several crises—ranging from inter-village conflicts, unemployment, and the absence of well equipped health clinics, water, road networks, and clean school facilities. The villages are today disintegrated and deeply immersed in hatred among each other. The reason for the conflicts and all other social problems are poverty, illiteracy, and lack of modern administrative skills.

In order for the people of Akah in the US to be united, all members of ANU should have a stake in a commonly owned property or project. Hence, the call to embark on investments in real estate and other areas that have potentials for funding ANU’s programs and activities, which are consistent with ANU’s mission.

As members of the ANU -USA are dispersed all over the U.S., they are organized into branches by region. Among the present active branches are:

1. Akah National Union, Texas/Oklahoma Chapter
2. Akah National Union, Tri-State Chapter (NJ, NY, Connecticut)

4. Akah National Union, Southern California Chapter
