Ododo: The unassuming Faithful Servant

 By Michael Onimisi Ajibade

Faithfulness is defined as fidelity, the act of being loyal and true; it is steadfastness in affection and allegiance to a person, a cause, or a belief. It is unwavering devotion to a friend, a vow, or a cause.

This is exactly the personae of a servant who stood reliably and outstandingly with his principal from the days of aspirations to The New Direction Government and The Let’s Do More administration.

And that faithful servant who is incontrovertibly unassuming is Alhaji Ododo Ahmed Usman the candidate of APC in the November Governorship elections.

Unbeknown to many, he was doing so much behind the scenes that the public did not know. Simplicity, humility, and humanity are his essential guide and watchwords. Ododo distinguishes  himself by being one of the less reverberating names amongst the members of the GYB administration yet the public acknowledged and adjudged him as one of the most generous and strategic givers GYB has nurtured, for his exemplifying philanthropic gestures, meekness, and silent political effectiveness even before he emerged as the candidate of APC.

Ododo’s impact on youth empowerment, community development, and engagement is second to none; a feat he emulated and mastered from his principal and mentor, Governor Yahaya Bello. He does this quietly according to the dictates of the holy books without letting the public know. How else can one be Godly and altruistic? 

He is mindful of what he says, what he does, how he does it, and when to do it. He is reliable and honest with his words by fulfilling all his promises and pledges. These are the fundamental qualities of the kind of leader we deserve at this critical moment, to consolidate the great achievements of GYB 

Ododo has demonstrated substantial evidential signs and values that he is a candidate whom we can trust to be faithful to every promise he has made by delivering greater dividends of democracy to the masses. Ododo’s mandate is a mandate that all well-meaning Kogites who desire a greater Kogi state and impactful dividend of democracy must support irrespective of religion, tribe, and other affiliations.
IT IS A PREMIER MANDATE! IT IS A PREMIUM MANDATE!! IT IS A MANDATE FOR RENEWED DIRECTION

The ultimate goal of this mandate is not just to win the election but to provide good leadership and governance experience that are amenable to the expectations of the people of Kogi State.

Ekuechi Festival Of Ebiraland

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. God gave her Irakwo (an egg-like object that contains the secrets of lifeand has the capacity to manifest supernatural powers) for her husband. Having dis-coveredits contents and being fascinated by them, she hid it in her uterus and laterswallowed it without giving it to her husband. She thereafter became quite powerful,performing supernatural feats as turning into any animal and changing back to ahuman being. She could instantly grow wings to fly around in astral travels.

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...
