The famous Ebira TV talk show, Ebira Opete from the stable of Ebira Opete Communications will begin airing from NTA Lokoja, Kogi state. The program, slated to begin Monday the 18th of August 2008 promises to take Ebiras by storm.
Speaking with EbiraView in Ikeja Lagos, program anchor, Mrs. Memunat Ozianahutu Mukhtar said the decision to broadcast from Lokoja was in response to the pressures from their teeming viewers to bring the program closer to the people who form the primary focus of the show. According to her, the positive response from some well meaning Anebira to their appeal for securing airtime at the homefront contributed to the commencent of the show in Lokoja. She however appealed to Ebiras home and abroad to ensure the sustenance of the program in Lokoja while stressing the need to take the program to major TV stations across the country.
Responding, his colleague, Musa Ozi Ohi described the step as 'too necessary at a time like this' stressing lamenting the lack of media coverage of the plight of Ebiras particularly the recent political/clannish crises that rocked the community for many weeks. He promised that airing Ebira Opete show from Lokoja will communicated the much desired peace message to Anebira young and old. He reminded Ebiras that the show will be a big opportunity to express their ordeals, views, experiences and equally showcase their products and services to Ebiras in particular and Nigerians at large. The program will be running every Monday between 1.30 to 2.00pm, he said.
It could be recalled that Ebira Opete/Ebira Kaneri were aired on Yotomi and TV3 cable satelites for several months before commencing same on NTA Kabba, Kogi state some months back. EbiraView has however partnered with the crew to deliver video clips of the program on Images of Ebira land to ensure a wider viewership by Ebiras particularly those in the Diaspora.
Wan o,
ReplyDeleteI am so elated and delighted that my kinsmen could come up with such an initiative as novel as this,this gladdens my heart and re-inforced my ancestal commitments to my root,Ebira.
There is a need to harness this platform to make peace overtures to all shades of Ebiras to have a new thinking and evolve a productive synergy that will allow Ebira take her pride of place in Kogi and by extension Nigeria.
I humbly wish to suggest that we have a day tagged AVINEBE annually,that could gather all manner of people of Ebira extraction to rub minds over prevailing issues as it affects our collective well being.
Once more kudos to the initiators of this marvelous web/interactive idea.

Wan o,
ReplyDeleteI am so elated and
gratified with this novel initiative.If well harnessed this platform could be exploited as a veritable tool to foster the much alluded unity towards making Ebiras no matter the clan,age,gender and religious affinity close ranks.
It could further be used to bring into the front burners prevailing issues as they hinder the full exploit of the potntials of all Ebiras at home and in the diaspora so we could claim our pride of place in Kogi and by extension Nigeria
I humbly wish to suggest that a day be set aside tagged AVINEBE where we could all gathered to celebrate
the values we share and nourish as a component of Nigeria.
Kudos to the initiators of this marvelous idea.
