Easter Holiday: Foundation Donates Food to Poor And Vulnerable in Kogi Central

A non-governmental organization with its headquarters in Abuja, Zaks Foundation for Humanity (ZFH), rounded off the first phase of its monthly Nutrition Assistance Program (NAP), also known as Feed Me Programme, in Kogi Central, Kogi state, North Central Nigeria, during the Easter holidays. 
According to the Chairman of the NGO, A. S. Aliyu, ZFH is seriously concerned about the enormous deprivations and poverty challenges amongst the most vulnerable people in our communities, resulting in extreme hunger and the attendant poverty health challenges across the country. 
The organization, he said, has taken a bold step to tackle the menace of hunger, poor health and other indicators of multidimensional poverty through its monthly Nutrition Assistance Program/ Feed Me. ZFH, he said, believes that no single family in our communities should go to bed hungry. There is enough food for everyone on this planet but not everyone eats, he added. 

He said that ZFH provides monthly food assistance to more than 20,000 people and, in the past one month, has given food and Mosquito Nets to more than 3000 and 38,700 households respectively, in the North Central states of Nasarawa, Niger, Kogi and the FCT, in the first phase of the program, while Benue, Kwara and Plateau States would come next in the second monthly phase. 
He said that the NAP is just a short term solution to meet the immediate needs of the vulnerable people, and has gone a long way to help cushion the effects of hunger in our communities. 
He added that this short-term solutions are absolutely vital to making sure that the indigents and the vulnerable people in local communities have food to live off, while longer-term solutions in the areas of world changing solutions to poverty, tools for increasing agricultural and entrepreneurial productivity, social and behavior change communications to the most vulnerable are being introduced into these communities by ZHF. 
He enjoined individuals, groups, communities, the public and private sectors to join hands with ZFH to increase the reach and coverage of the organization in addressing these challenges nationwide by contacting the organization at www.zaksfoundation.org or call +2348029955448

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).
