The 2006 Census Coverage

The Team of EbiraView.com successfully carried out a photo coverage of The 2006 National Population Census across Ebiraland.

The enumeration activities were smooth witnessing general cooperation from the Ebiras as everybody came out to get counted. The awareness campaign undertaken by the local governments, Ebira associations and all other interest groups had a big impact on the turn out.

EbiraView team was virtually present everywhere around Ebiraland associating with the Census officials and the government alike. Supports were received from Adavi and Ajaokuta local governments while other local government pledged their support in subsequent events.

The excercise was perceived by many as one of the most successful of its kind in Ebiraland. Among those visited by EbiraView team were Adavi, Ajaokuta, Okene and Okehi local government chairmen. Others included the Controller of the National Popoulation Commission(NPC) of Okene, the external supervisors from the northern part of Nigeria to Ajaokuta, the council leader of Ajaokuta, supervisors of Okehi and Okene local governments, Members of Ebira Peace Project(EPP), Ebira youths associations members and others.

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!

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.

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...
