The state of Ebira roads... part 1

By Ismail M. Kabir

As commuters are confronted daily with untold hardship while plying our badly deteriorated roads, EbiraView rolled out its cameras to capture the state of Ebira roads in recent time.

It is our hope that this worrisome state of the roads, especially the federal highways, attracts the sympathy and rapid response of relevant authorities.

We intend to cover the entire roads within the community.

Although there are ongoing efforts by concerned Ebira sons and daughters to draw the attention of the state government and federal roads mentainance agency (FERMA) to the delapidation, we wish to appeal to our readers to not only view but also share the link till it gets to the authorities.

Thank you.

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!

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. They would leave him in the house with the women as they set out on their hunting expedition. But they had meet the young Obege in the forest roasting a fair member of the forest’s game, all alone - and unarmed! The elders had to defer to this wonderful boy. 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
