If His Excellency Will Listen… (2) by Michael Oluwashina

I must use this medium to first and foremost congratulate his excellency Alh. Yahaya Bello of his victory despite all hurdles surrounding the last gubernatorial election in Kogi state as it is written in the holy book that power belongs to God and he bestow on who he deem fit.

I must commend his excellency for his first decision by reinstating the sacked LG chairmen in Kogi state following a judgement of the court of appeal ordering the reinstatement, its a good development for the nations rule of law in a sane Democratic settings.

Considering the state of disrepair some public institutions in Kogi state have been from time past urgent attention and reformation is needed before the total collapse of the key governmental institution, and in carrying out this tedious task all hand must be on deck.

In my last article I pointed out areas in which Kogi state has been relegated development wise due to the mismanagement of the previous administration.

Kogi state is blessed with so many natural endowment but has nothing to show for it in terms of infrastructural development, payment of salaries, good road network and education. This and many more I strongly believed needs to be addressed urgently. In addressing this decay I have drafted a lot of solutions in which will help his excellency scored card in his first 100days in office and also policy that will boost the Internally Generated Revenue [I.G.R] of this beloved state. As a Kogite I am of the opinion that everyone is a stakeholder and we must all work tirelessly irrespective of our political affiliations to make this state great.

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...

The Obege legend

In the earliest generations when the art of magic was yet a myth to the people, there was born a boy into a family of hunters in the village of Eika - one of the six communities that comprised the ancestral groups. 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...
