Educational Outreach: Cmr. Mamman Boosts Students Morale Across Kogi Central

In a renewed vigor to revamp and reiterate the importance of Education sector in surmounting our current socioeconomic and security menace, Comrade O.A Mamman embarked on Educational Outreach across Kogi State, starting from his Local Government (Adavi) LGA. 

In today's world, it's not a gainsay that Education plays a vital role in addressing our societal problems. It's against this backdrop that the son of the soil (Comrade O.A Mamman) took a bold step towards revamping a ready decaying educational system. 

Comrade Mamman during his three days visits to three different government secondary school in Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State, began his journey at the Community Secondary School Ibeke (Kuroko) to Ebira Community Secondary School (ECSS) Ogaminana and rounded up at Adavi Community Secondary School (Adavi-Eba), where he met students, teachers and staff of the school. 

Comrade Mamman who acknowledged that it's not longer  news that the Educational sector is confronted by myriads of problems ranging from poor funding, poor infrastructure, inadequate classrooms, library, paucity of teachers and incentives, however emphasized the importance of looking beyond these ubiquitous challenges to strive strongly as there is no alternative to academic hard-work.
 
On that note, he donated some inspirational and motivational books; and also presented some writing materials (Exercise books and pen) as Souvenirs shared to the students.

The smiles on the faces of young students, teachers and staff of the school was priceless and assuring. And in his lecture notes, he encouraged and urged to always strife to be counted for what is right. 

Thank you for the unending demonstration of love and support, we'll never take it for granted.

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!

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...

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.

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...
