We, the entire staff and management of EbiraView Media express our deep condolence to the family of our deseaced brother and very good friend, Comrade Yahaya Mamman Junior who passed on to the Lord today, Tuesday September 30th, 2014. Ebira youths will forever miss him as his untimely demise has left a big vacuum in youth activisim in Ebira land. Late Yahaya Mamman Junior was the former National President of National Association of Ebira Students (NAKOSS) and the Coordinator of Ebira Youths Peace Initiative Movement (EYPIM) which facilitated the much touted arms submission by warring youths in Okene in 2011. We beseech almighty Allah to forgive all his shortcomings and grant his gentle soul eternal peace. May Allah also grant his family, friends and loved ones the fortitude to bear the painful loss, ameen. Signed: Management

The ease of killing the proverbial snake can only be a quotient of the amalgamated focus and strength...
