Written by Noble Onoshovwe    At the turn of this century, when men were talking about millennium bug, Y2K scare, and glitch, Providence was putting together a unique gift to humanity. And to further stun the human race that amidst it's shortcomings and imperfections, something near perfect, a genius with utmost humility that will impact humanity positively is here, he was birthed on the first day of April 2000, and since then, the beautiful journey had begun. Abdulmumeen Jimoh, the enigma of our time, is from Okene, Kogi state, and just like the meaning of the state's name in Hausa, Mumeen is flowing a river of blessings into the state. In 2017, he emerged the champion in the youth category at the Prestigious Godswill Akpabio International Scrabble Classic. He was also chosen to represent Nigeria at World Youth Games in Australia in 2018, but missed it due to delay in paper works.

By Engr. YUSUF MOMOHJIMOH ONDEKU AUGUST 30, 2022 On behalf of my family, I congratulate His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the Executive Governor of Kogi State for making this 31st anniversary a remarkable milestone.   I commend the many officials, public servants, politicians, opinion molders, volunteers and the founding fathers whose dedication and sacrifices made the creation of the state and certification possible under challenging conditions and serious politicking. After 31yrs, that State, which beguiled national interests, political interests, regional interests, ethical interests and agitations of all sorts is enjoying deep bonds between her people, shared values, and shared common interests in democracy, security, mutually beneficial trade, and respect for human rights.   The cooperation between the Ebiras, the Igalas and the Okuns has improved our governance, public health, livelihoods, security, and environmental protections within the three (3) senatorial dist

My dear fellow compatriots of Ebira nation, no doubt, the last two days or so have been very trying for all well-meaning Anebira and, by extension, friends of Ebira across the nation who are well-informed of what the true Ebira man represents and stands for, and therefore have chosen to stand by us firmly. Ultimately, it was indeed a moment that attempted to put to test our age-long values of honesty, industry and abhorrence for evils in their forms, not minding the few black sheep that are inherent in every community.

It essentially reinforces, before the world, the aversion of the Ebira man for evil and anything untoward for his fellow human.  It goes without saying that had the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) exercised minimal diligence in his reportage of the feat by the concerned operatives, the resultant confusion sa

1. Ebira Youth Congress (EYC) is miffed by the abject connection of Ebira youths to the recent Owo church onslaught in Ondo state as may have been confirmed by authorities.  2. It is quite a thing of great concern and unfortunate event to have supervened amidst the prevailing security threat daring the federation. We uphold the undeniable sanctity of human life and any contravention can naturally stand to face the resistance of the prosperous Ebira people. As the act stands wholy condemned, we are appealing to the government at all levels to beef up security architecture that lives and properties may be safe and criminal suspects, brought to book.  3. For any proactive Chief Executive, the unpredictability of situations in the country today should beckon to extra work on security, which is an agenda taken very seriously by a subsisting Ebira Governor in Kogi state. Just as the Ondo State Governor himself attests, Ebira people are a very good people, hospitable and hardworking wherever
