In an appreciation message signed by its Public Relations Officer, Cmr. Ismail M. Kabir, the Okene chapter of the youth council described Governor Yahaya Bello as a "rare pacesetter in youth leadership building".

The council extolled the numerous leadership styles of Gov. Bello geared towards building the youth and women for various leadership positions, describing them as complete paradigm shift from the traditional politics where youth are usually relegated or used as tools for political thuggery.

"We have seen in Gov. Yahaya Bello the passion to invest in the youth. His flare for building young leaders is unprecedented in Nigerian political history. More youth are emerging daily as leaders in various fronts; a complete paradigm shift from the political style of his predecessors".

The council noted that it takes a true leader to build leaders, stressing that since Gov. Bello's searchlight continues to beam on next youth to elevate to leadership position, Nigeria youths should as a matter of collective interest drum support for him to lead the nation.

"As the call for youth leadership of this great nation gains global momentum, great Nigerian youth should rise in unison to support Yahaya Bello for a greater Nigeria in 2023. His leadership of this great nation, holds a lot of fortunes for the Nigerian youth", the council assured.

It could be recalled, among other gestures, that Gov. Yahaya Bello recently directed the Kogi All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure that women be given 40 percent slots in the local council election. This directive has not only produced at least 4 women councilors per LGA, it also ensured that women filled the position of vice chairmanship across the 21 local government areas in Kogi State.

In what appeared as an end of the year gift to the over 1.3 million Kogi youths, Gov. Bello directed the appointment of local government coordinators of the NYCN as the secretary to the newly elected chairmen across the 21 LGAs of the state.

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...

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).

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...
