It was a great day in the history of Nembe Bassambiri (Opu Nembe) when the Royal House, Ogbodo Tamuno Group of Chieftaincy Houses went to the House of the Lord their God, to thank him for his goodness towards them.
The historic event took place at the First Baptist Church in the ancient city on Sunday, the 31st of December 2017, where the Chiefs, deputy Chiefs, elders the men, women and the Youths of the Royal House,  gathered and humbled themselves before the Lord God Almighty: acknowledging Him as their all and all in life.
At that thanksgiving service, the Chiefs also used the occasion to hand over the destiny of the Ogbodo Tamuno Group of Chieftains Houses for a dedication ceremony conducted by the Pastor in charge, Pastor Abbah, who spoke extensively on the rewards for individuals and or a group of people that  acknowledges God,  and offer sacrifices of  thanksgiving/ dedication  to Him for all His benefits, seeing the God factor as a trigger that enforces rest upon those who come to seek his face.
Pastor Abbah who commended the Ogbodo Tamuno Group of Chieftains Houses for  the unprecedented bold initiative of coming to God for thanksgiving and for dedicating the House to the protective hands of the Almighty, assuring them that whatever is dedicated into the hands of the Almighty is safe and secure and urged them to be steadfast in the faith and to continue their relationship with God anually by re-dedication.
