BRIEF HISTORY OF OZI AGUVA, OZI ATTAH, OZI EDE

*BRIEF HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF UHUAMI (A.K.A OZI-EDE, OZI-AGUVA, OZI-ATTAH) CLAN OF ADAVI IN EBIRA LAND BY: SAKA ABDULBAKI (A.K.A Bakilium De' Erudite) "Odeyi-Ani'uhuami Gamji" Modified on 1st January, 2018. Revised on 1st November, 2018. Members of the various clans in Ebiraland are descendants of the children of Itaazi. Itaazi had five (5) son's named (Adaviruku/Ohizi, Ododo, Obaji, Uga, Ochuga/Onotu). Ohizi (Adaviruku) had five children who are progenitors of the five traditional Adavi clans named after them. Historically, One of the sons of Adavi referred to his dwelling-place as Uhuami (my Abode). People opted to call him “UHUAMI” which becomes more popular than his other name like Aguva, Ede, Attah e.t.c. He was the third of Adavi’s sons (Upopuvete, Uka, Uhuami, Aniku and Adeika). The seniority order of five Adavi sons had being maintained. In 1934 “Otaru” the Great father of late Attah of Ebiraland performed his last annual entertainment. He normally does this by dividing six big pots of local guinea corn wine fermented at his residence. He used to invite all Adavi sons and give this entertainment in order of seniority of Adavi sons and last to the other beneficiaries. Before his last performance in 1934, he normally gives this wine to Upopuvete, Uka, Uhuami, Aniku and Adeika which is the seniority order of the five clans of Adavi. He however passed away in 1935. Like his other brothers did, Uhuami, left Adavi-Eba to settle in the hilly portion of Iruku Uroko (forest of Iroko trees) now known as Ukuroko (Kuroko). His younger brother followed suit and settle in the valley of the same forest which was why he adopted the Ani Iruku (People of the forest) now Aniku. Uhuami married only one wife through whom he was blessed with five sons (Osovosi, Upata, Ohemi, Ozzi and Ekko). And a daughter (Onyi-hie). The descendants of these sons from Uhuami clan of Adavi who founded and settled at Kuroko, Inoziomi, Ipaku, Ebogogo, Karaworo, Iresuhua and part of Eika Ohizenyi while other still remain at Adavi-Eba. His daughter married Iyewe (Etodo) of Eika who settled in Uhuami land at Ikaturu. GEOGRAPHICAL LANDMASS: Uhuami clan landmass stretching from Okene General Hospital to the total petrol station at Idakoyibo. They share boundary with Aniku from GRA to Ebogogo. Uhuami also share boundary with Eziadeika fom Ipaku –Ebeba up to Enyi Asese of Kuroko Uvete down to Ateba. They also share boundary with Eziehinka of Ogu clan at the terminus of Ohizenyi stretching from Ikaturu Eba to Oyeye, Emani Hill, Arikete, Idoporipo, Ihioriho, where they have middle boundary with Aniku (Ihioriho is part of Uhuami landmass). The landmass continued from that spot to Ure, Oguara, Etenyi e.t.c to Ohuagura which is at the Eastern flank with Eganyi people. Towards the Northern part lies a stretch of landmass belonging to Avasa clan of Eika Ohizenyi particularly late Akoko family of Avasa. In summary Uhuami landmass right from Eika Ohizenyi lies in the middle of Ezuka landmass and Aniku landmass. Ebira land use law of the early 16 century from the national achieves. Kaduna and the British imperial Museum between 1842-1914 will attest to this historical claim. ASOVI OF UHUAMI CLAN (the bird of victory of Uhuami Clan): As a clan symbol, Uhuami has a flying bird landing on a rock because a bird called “ASOVI” guided our ancestors to victory during the ancient communal war while the rock symbolizes the hill-top domain of the ancient time. UHUAMI A.K.A (OZI-EDE) CLAN ADAVI LGA: History has it that Uhuami a.k.a Ozi Ede is the third child after Ozi Apasi and Ezuka of Adavi whose descendant dominantly occupies Adavi LGA of Kogi State of Nigeria. Uhuami is said to settle along the bank of river where specie of fish called “EDE” are found. People near and far comes to the river to hunt for fish (Ede). They then nick name the Uhuami people living at the bank of the river as Ozi Ede (Children of Ede). The fish was so important in the life of the people in the area that it became a source of pride to Uhuami people hence adopted Ede an Eulogy. This eulogy (Ede) was further adopted as a title which culminated to a title first level by late Adai Aputu Atevese. This stool was abandoned after the death of Aputu Atevese. The Uhuami been proud and want in hold high its past resolved to upgrade the title to chieftaincy status to make their chieftaincy stool of the clan three. The stool are Adeika, Aguva and Ede. The three stools are to be rotated among the five children of Uhuami and no one of the children is expected to hold two of the stool at a time. Uhuami clan also agreed that Upata sub clan should first sit on the stool and H.R.H Mr. Ibrahim John Musa was chosen to be crowned as the Otaru Ozi-Ede of Uhuami Clan Adavi LGA kogi State. NOTABLE HISTORICAL MASQUERADES IN UHUAMI: Notable historical masquerades (Eku or Aneku) owned by uhuami clan purposefully for annual entertainment, celebration, and cultural display etc includes; Onogidi-Kuroko (Aneku Onogidi of Uhuami) and Aregenu Obanyi-Kuroko (Aneku Aregenu Obanyi of Uhuami), Adebira-Kuroko (Aneku Adebira-kuroko) etc. The maskurades is majorly oversees by the Custodians in Uhuami-clan and likewise the elders in the clan who are spiritually gifted. The advent of the maskurades by the ancestors who are spiritually oriented has become a historical event in which all members of Uhuami clan can easily trace their origin of life and historical events of Uhuami clan of Adavi, in Ebira land. The first costodian of Aneku Aregenu Obanyi-Kuroko usually titled Odenya te' ku (Odenya te' ku Aregenu Obanyi-Kuroko) was a popular man in Ebira land in person of Adai. Pa. Ojatuhuwo, who was a remarkable man in Uhuami clan, and belong to Ekko lineage(Abara) in Uhuami A.K.A (Ozi-Ede) which history has it to be the 5th son of Uhuami. Hence, Custodian Adai Pa. OJATUHUWO has remain a great hero in the history of Uhuami clan in Ebira land. THE PROMINENT CULTURAL FESTIVALS (ECHE-OZI ETE) USUALLY CELEBRATED BY UHUAMI CLAN: The Ebiras have several annaul cultural festivals. Three of the most prominent ones are: 'Echane', 'Eche Ori' and 'Ekuechi'. ECHE-ANE: This is an annual masquerade festival celebrated in rotation from one district to the other in Ebiraland (between April-June). In the past, it was only during the period of the festival that betrothed girls were given away in marriage to their suitors. That is why the festival is called 'Eche-ane' (women festival). Masquerades, though carried long canes, came out primarily to entertain people and received gifts in return. It is regrettable that this very popular and interesting festival has been bastardized and now a source of constant breach of peace. ECHE-ORI: 'Eche Ori' is a new yam festival celebrated only in two districts in Ebiraland. These are Ihima and Eganyi. During the festival, traditional worshippers make sacrifices in the secret groove of 'Ori' (deity) high up in the mountain to show gratitude for its protection and provision of bounteous harvest. The worshipers carry long canes with which they whip one another in turns without anyone exhibiting any sign of pain. This is a mark of strength or manhood. Another important attraction of the festival is the delightful 'Echori' music in which female singers feature prominently. Only after this festival can one eat or sell new yams in the market as it is a taboo to do so before the festival in Ihima and Eganyi. EKUECHI: This is a night masquerade festival which marks the end of the Ebira calendar year and the beginning of a new one. Ododo is popularly acclaimed to be the initiator of this masquerade festival. The 'Akatapa' masquerade in heralding the beginning of the festival often say "Irayi ododo osi gu, Irayi akatapa osi gu eeeh! Osa yeeeh!" which means "the year of the Ododo has ended; the year of Akatapa has ended. Here is another year". The festival begins with a festival eve in which folk singers (ome ikede) perform to the delight of both men and women. The following day, the real festival in which masquerades sing and dance to entertain people from dusk to dawn takes place. It is restricted to men only so all women stay indoors throughout the duration of the festival. All dead relatives are believed to return to a earth on a visit this night, so, women prepare delicious 'Apapa' (bean read) and he-goat meat for the visitors. The women also, at times, leave monetary gifts with the men for the visiting dead relatives. Trust men, the meals and gifts are properly and neatly delivered to the beneficiaries who only the men have the privilege of seeing and interacting with, that night.

N-Power 8-month Debts To Be Paid Soon — Program Manager

The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation has recovered funds held by the N-Power consultant for several months. The National Program Manager of N-Power, Mr Akindele, made this known following a meeting held with representatives of N-Power beneficiaries. “The good news is that the funds have been recovered yesterday and you will be getting your money soon. Payment for N-Power Beneficiaries Batch C who have been owed for eight months will begin soon,” he said. The National Program Manager revealed that the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, has been working round the clock to stop irregularities within the scheme and other social investment programmes.

“These irregularities have made the common man to lose faith in the ability of Government to provide social safety cover for its population but Dr Betta Edu is engaging all necessary steps to resolve these issues and deliver the Renewed Hope Mandate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Nigerians. “Many irregularities which hitherto had sabotaged the smooth implementation of the Program are being addressed. It would be recalled that on assumption of duty, it was noted that many beneficiaries did not receive payment for their monthly allowances while monies were been held up by the consultant managing the enrollment and payment system whose contract had long expired. The good news is that the money has been recovered and it would allow for payment of beneficiaries,” Akindele added. He noted that these and more were the irregularities, which the Minister was committed to resolving so as to create a good foundation upon which the Renewed Hope N-POWER will expand to reach five million young Nigerians. The National Program Manager, therefore, called on young Nigerians to be patient as the restructuring was in their best interest and it will lead to expansion of the program to accommodate millions of young people.

Chelsea vs Leicester City Highlights: Raheem Sterling double as Blues beat Foxes with 10 men

 Thomas Tuchel is aiming for his first win at Stamford Bridge this season against a Leicester side who have made a slow start to the season

It's the Wesley Fofana derby, no! The N'Golo Kante derby, no! The Ben Chilwell derby. Whatever player who Chelsea signed from the Foxes you feel most appropriate, both teams come into this game under pressure.

Leicester have already conceded the most in the Premier League so far with eight goals, only being kept off the bottom by their single point on the opening weekend against Brentford. Chelsea's home form was pretty poor in the Premier League last season and they failed to beat the Foxes in the same fixture back in May.
