Ebira ex-lawmaker releases evidence of his stewardship

By Ismail M. Kabir

Honourable Abdulrahman Badamasuiy, a member of the House of Representatives who represented Adavi/Okehi federal constituency in the immediate past 7th National Assembly has released an illustrative evidence of his stewardship to his constituency barely two months after leaving office.

Hon. Abdulrahman Badamasuiy
In the magazine tagged Legislative Mandate of Hon. Abdulrahman Badamasuiy, the enigmatic lawmaker and astute politician described his tenure as a fulfillment of his desire to rescue the decaying infrastructure in his constituency.
In an appreciation message contained in the release, the lawmaker craved the understanding of groups, communities and individuals he could not touch directly in the course of his mandate at the green chambers of the national assembly, attributing his default to circumstances beyond his control, sayin that "we sincerely appeal to all individuals, groups and community that we could not touch directly to show understanding and appreciate the unprecedented passion we have exhibited in our intervention on decaying infrastructure in our constituency". 


He, however, affirmed the fulfillment of about 90 per cent of his campaign promises to his people as contained in his manifesto which was unprecedentedly presented publicly ahead of his election in the year 2011.

Among other laudable achievements of the lawmaker was the facilitation of job opportunities to about 14 youths from Adavi and Okehi local government councils among whom 12 are university graduates.

ORIGIN OF THE FESTIVAL There are few accounts of how the festival started. However, the differences inthese accounts are not fundamental. Generally, Ireba Eku (masquerade cult) wasbelieved to have been formed under the divine instruction of God to check the excesses of women, apart from serving as ancestor worship. Myth has it that aftercreating man and woman as husband and wife, one day God sent for the man but hewas too busy to honour the call. Instead, he requested his wife to heed God’s call onhis behalf.

Sketch History of Ebira (Itopa Ebira)

ORIGIN OF THE EBIRAS An elder beats the Agidibo to salute the spirits (Photo by EbiraView) Ebira Tao is the largest of the several Ebira groups found in about 8 states of Nigeria including the Federal Capital Teritory (FCT). The other sister groups are Egbura Koto and Ebira Mozum (Kogi state), Ebira Panda, Ebira Oje/Toto (Nassarawa state), Ebira Etuno (Edo state), Ebira Agatu (Benue state) Ebira Oloko (Ondo/Oyo/Osun states). Written records about the origin of the Ebira people were those compiled from palace sources by the British colonial administrators in early 20th century. The Ebira, through oral tradition, trace their descent to Wukari (in the present Taraba state) where they were a constituent part of the Kwararafa confederation. In about 1680 AD, they (along with the Idoma and Igala) migrated out of Wukari a chieftaincy dispute. The Ebira later split into various groups and settled in different locations between 1680 and 1750 AD. The Eb...
