By Ismail M. Kabir

Honourable Abdulrahman Badamasuiy, a member of the House of Representatives who represented Adavi/Okehi federal constituency in the immediate past 7th National Assembly has released an illustrative evidence of his stewardship to his constituency barely two months after leaving office.

Hon. Abdulrahman Badamasuiy
In the magazine tagged Legislative Mandate of Hon. Abdulrahman Badamasuiy, the enigmatic lawmaker and astute politician described his tenure as a fulfillment of his desire to rescue the decaying infrastructure in his constituency.
In an appreciation message contained in the release, the lawmaker craved the understanding of groups, communities and individuals he could not touch directly in the course of his mandate at the green chambers of the national assembly, attributing his default to circumstances beyond his control, sayin that "we sincerely appeal to all individuals, groups and community that we could not touch directly to show understanding and appreciate the unprecedented passion we have exhibited in our intervention on decaying infrastructure in our constituency". 


He, however, affirmed the fulfillment of about 90 per cent of his campaign promises to his people as contained in his manifesto which was unprecedentedly presented publicly ahead of his election in the year 2011.

Among other laudable achievements of the lawmaker was the facilitation of job opportunities to about 14 youths from Adavi and Okehi local government councils among whom 12 are university graduates.

The case of Ahmed Awela, Murtala (Eti Bobo) among other Ebira youths

Ismail M. Kabir, Lagos. Between controversial existence and a contentious exit. There are various sides to a story. For an event that happens with few or no significant eye witness, the news come in different versions; some partially correct, others completely cooked up. In some cases, such non-witnessed event pass round as rumour until eventually confirmed. Rumour it was, when a phone call from Okene announced the death of two famous Ebira youths! They were killed by the Police, reported the news. Being on a Sunday when nothing too special should ensue save for the usual church services and social functions, the news sounded as the most unexpected, as a matter of fact, incredible! The thought of losing such youths on an ordinary day like Sunday undoubtedly was the reason for the astonishment. Not a single person of Ebira origin, within or outside the soil would believe such shocker upon first hearing. Text messages, phone calls and of course physical enquiries lingered, all in an atte

The Obege legend

In the earliest generations when the art of magic was yet a myth to the people, there was born a boy into a family of hunters in the village of Eika - one of the six communities that comprised the ancestral groups. He was believed to have been born with a leaf in his hand and to the elders of then, that was prognostic of what he would be - a native healer. And had grown up performing wonders. His kinsmen were all hunters, they would deny the boy the opportunity to follow them hunting, purely on age ground - and he was really too young to go hunting in the forest. They would leave him in the house with the women as they set out on their hunting expedition. But they had meet the young Obege in the forest roasting a fair member of the forest’s game, all alone - and unarmed! The elders had to defer to this wonderful boy. Obege as an adult was more than human. His fame had spread all over the land: he was a healer of most seemingly incurable diseases, he was a rain maker, assumed more divin
