Renowned entertainment impresario popularly called Ed Jatto in the music industry is now ‘born again’ as he has just released a new album titled Fuji Praise into the music shelf. Jatto latest work which is said to be borne out of his love and desire for God’s works is a bang. When we asked why he went gospel this time, “Irrespective of your background or believe, a man must do something to praise God. Whatever or whoever a man may be, God is the greatest, the Supreme Being, the Creator of heaven and the earth. Not until I become born again before I can sing His praises, it just came naturally” He informed us. From all indications, good things seem to have been crawling in ever since his new belief about God as he has started a TV program called Jatto Live on Galaxy Television, Lagos, Nigeria. “Why I started this TV show is because of the interest the advertisers shown to it’. I conceived the concept and I told some of them before I blink my eyes, they have all jumped to it. Maybe becau

As one of the most cherished seeds by Anebira, Gorigo gift is the first most requested of an Ebira traveler arriving a destination from Ehi (home). 'Gorigo aami yo (where is my gorigo)?', his or her Ebira family, friends and colleagues would ask upon first sight. This is due to the rareness and unbeatable taste of the seeds. The Ebira koto accuses Ebira Tao of migrating from their Koto community for the sole objective of Gorigo planting. Wether this is true or a mere joke is no longer important. Today, Gorigo is hawked by young Ebira girls around Motor parks as Ebiras travel from home. Spiced with roasted beans or ground nuts, Gorigo is a delicious traditional food Ebiras hate missing. Its soup 'Epe gorigo' is usually served with hot pounded yams. Inspite of the fame attributed to the seed by Anebira, it is hardly found among Ebira communities outside of Ebiraland. This scarcity informed the decisioon for modernisation of the gorigo business. Ess Project Concept in conj

Ebira farmers are excellent in Yam farming. Mostly done through non-mechanised (manual) farming in the south western part of Nigeria like Ondo, Ekiti and beyond, the yam farming has become a reputation for Ebira farmers. Anebira are renowned throughout Nigeria for the primary occupation: farming which once provided employment for well over 95 percent of the adult population. Subsistence farming is labour intensive. Farmers rely on such implements as holes and cutlasses. The size of the family correlates to the size of the farm. Family hands are deployed in such farm routines as clearing, tilling, thinning, planting, mulching, weeding and harvesting.
