His Royal Majesty Alh. Dr. Ado Ibrahim was born on Thursday 7th February, 1929 to HRH Alh. Ibrahim Onoruoiza Atta and Hajiya Hauwawu Ozianuva. He is one of the 148 children of his late father and an only child of his Mother. HRM Ado Ibrahim had a priviledged birth, and a disciplined upbringing with its emphasis on the work ethic. His father, according to him, gave his children educatiom, the glory of work and high integrity. This disciplined upbringing with its emphasis on the work ethic ensured that, rather than lapse into a scriptive explotation of the fact of their priviliged birth, the children will strive to achieve excellence in different vocations to meet the demands of a changing social structure. His enlightened father was a widely travelled traditional ruler of his time. By the late 1920s, he had toured West Africa, ZEurope, and Asia. He was a devout Muslim, nonetheless, he believed that the Northern Nigeria of his day needed both Quranic and Western Education.

For 20 years, he has flown some of the world's big aircrafts, conveying cargos from United States to Australia, Germany, Dubai, Taipei and the US military command. His experience as a flight captain and Flight accident investigator has taken him to major cities of nearly all the countries of the world. An origin of Ebiraland, Kogi state, Nigeria, Captain Abdul was born on the 15th October, 1966. He obtained his first degree from the University of Ibadan before udertaking training at the BOLIVAR AVIATION. TENNESSEE, USA; PAN AM TRAINING CENTER. MIAMI, USA; VARIG TRAINING CENTER. RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL; LUFTHANSA FLIGHT TRAINING CENTER. FRANKFURT, GERMANY; BOEING AIRCRAFT TRAINING. SEATLE, USA and NASA SPACE TRAINING CENTER, FLORIDA, USA. In his flying career, Capt.

Abiodun Anako was born in the Sixties in Okene, a provincial town in the North of Kogi State, Nigeria. The region with its rocky landscape and strong light became an enduring preoccupation of Anako an influence that can still be seen in his art. He can be considered as a member of the third generation of Oshogbo artists, having mastered a technique of drawing in pen and ink on an airbrushed background on ricepaper. The colourful result has a lyrical abstract quality that is both subtle and bold by turns. As a painter Anako was slow to mature because of his Father's vehement opposition to his son's chosen career. To win through eventually and ultimately to achieve his goal bespeaks the quiet discipline that he was able to impose upon himself and a forceful resolution of character. He has since gone on to exhibit his work throughout Nigeria and abroad in the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada and United States. He was a participant in the October Gallery's Six African Artists
