    Shortly my biography of the Italian Missionary, Fr. Berengario Cermenati, is to be published. He worked in Okene. I am most anxious to include a photograph of Ibrahima, Atta of the Igbirra (1917-1954) who features in the Biography. I would be most grateful if anyone could send me a photograph (file attachment to email) or give me the address of any family member who might be able to help.
    My name: Rev. Fr Edmund Hogan (Lecturer, Tangaza College, Kenya).

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.

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 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.

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...
