Oyiza Adaba; Celebrating a true Daughter of the Soil

Ebiras, though a minority tribe from the North Central region of Nigeria, are reknown for their excellence in whatever profession they belong. A common attribute of an average Ebira son or daughter is creativity; creativity that transcends all bounds. Such we have found in Oyiza Adaba. Who is Oyiza Adaba [ View her Gallery here ] Oyiza grew up in Jos, Nigeria with her 3 brothers and 3 sisters. She had the benefit of being raised in a successful family environment unlike the hardship that many in her county of a150 million people experience. With her mother being an administrative officer in Nigeria’s national broadcast television station and her father being one of Nigeria’s most successful TV personalities and later head of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Oyiza’s chosen career path came as no surprise. ‘I was born to be in media’, says Oyiza, who at an early age became fascinated with seeing her father anchoring the 7 o’clock news on Nigeria’s most popular television stati

ED JATTO SINGS FOR GOD

Renowned entertainment impresario popularly called Ed Jatto in the music industry is now ‘born again’ as he has just released a new album titled Fuji Praise into the music shelf. Jatto latest work which is said to be borne out of his love and desire for God’s works is a bang. When we asked why he went gospel this time, “Irrespective of your background or believe, a man must do something to praise God. Whatever or whoever a man may be, God is the greatest, the Supreme Being, the Creator of heaven and the earth. Not until I become born again before I can sing His praises, it just came naturally” He informed us. From all indications, good things seem to have been crawling in ever since his new belief about God as he has started a TV program called Jatto Live on Galaxy Television, Lagos, Nigeria. “Why I started this TV show is because of the interest the advertisers shown to it’. I conceived the concept and I told some of them before I blink my eyes, they have all jumped to it. Maybe becau

Towards a cashless Ebiraland

EbiraView plans to hold one of the biggest workshops in Ebiraland. It will focus on ATM and Cash cards; definitions, usage, security tips and other possibilities. It shall rally Ebira trades men, artisans, students and youths in general. Our objective is to reduce the movement of cash around Ebiraland and easing money transfer process from Ebira parents to their wards in higher institutions of learning across Nigeria. Scheduled to hold at the newly built Okene Town Hall, the workshop is going to be first of its kind.

Gorigo (beneseed or sesame seed) redefined

As one of the most cherished seeds by Anebira, Gorigo gift is the first most requested of an Ebira traveler arriving a destination from Ehi (home). 'Gorigo aami yo (where is my gorigo)?', his or her Ebira family, friends and colleagues would ask upon first sight. This is due to the rareness and unbeatable taste of the seeds. The Ebira koto accuses Ebira Tao of migrating from their Koto community for the sole objective of Gorigo planting. Wether this is true or a mere joke is no longer important. Today, Gorigo is hawked by young Ebira girls around Motor parks as Ebiras travel from home. Spiced with roasted beans or ground nuts, Gorigo is a delicious traditional food Ebiras hate missing. Its soup 'Epe gorigo' is usually served with hot pounded yams. Inspite of the fame attributed to the seed by Anebira, it is hardly found among Ebira communities outside of Ebiraland. This scarcity informed the decisioon for modernisation of the gorigo business. Ess Project Concept in conj
