Towards a cashless Ebiraland

EbiraView plans to hold one of the biggest workshops in Ebiraland. It will focus on ATM and Cash cards; definitions, usage, security tips and other possibilities. It shall rally Ebira trades men, artisans, students and youths in general. Our objective is to reduce the movement of cash around Ebiraland and easing money transfer process from Ebira parents to their wards in higher institutions of learning across Nigeria.


Scheduled to hold at the newly built Okene Town Hall, the workshop is going to be first of its kind. Sponsorship is sought from Banks, Hotels, corporate individuals and well wishers to make this dream a reality. It is hoped that Ebiras without Cash cards (the ATM cards that allows cash transactions without necessarily having a bank account, an interswitch initiative) be provided with free cards at the venue. More detail coming soon.



It is noteworthy that as part of our committment to improving the status of Ebira youths, EbiraView has commenced campaigns for adoption of the ATM among Ebira youths. This is being done verbally, by email, sms and other media. This effort has resulted in acquisition of ATM (Cash) cards by many of our contacts. At the end of the workshop, Anebira, hopefully, will become the first community with the highest use of ATM cards.


For sponsorship request, please call Aliyu on 0802 943 1154.

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...
