A Perilous Voyage to (Oral) History

By Adinoyi Ojo Onukaba I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all members of Ihima Re-Union Group for inviting me to speak at this occasion. My special thanks goes to my brother, Razaq Obosi, for making sure that I honoured this invitation. I commend the spirit behind the establishment of this group which is meant to promote peace, mutual understanding and the development of our community. Any platform that allows us to talk about how to advance our common interests as well as how to manage our differences is always preferable to the one in which we fight ourselves. Therefore, we must keep this group alive and transform it into a formidable platform for the unity, progress and development of Ihima. Throughout history, the harbingers of change are usually no more than a small group of committed and dedicated individuals. So let us never under-estimate the power that this group wields in the age of instant communication which makes it possible for millions of people to sh

There are certain things i feel beautiful and good - which should top other priorities - and i must crave for them, doing the right thing at the appropriate moment is one of those. It is only a fool that will fold his arms and watch his father's house being abuse by selected political rapscallions and remain silent. The reason we are this poor as a state is not really because we don't have natural and human resources, a point validated by his Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello when he unambiguously stated that "Kogi has no business to be poor" and vibrantly campa
