The Nupe Day As Tool For Cultural Revival And Unity

Bida, the headquarters of Nupe people in
Niger state would be at standstill today
Wednesday, 26th June as the Ninibo Nupe
Foundation celebrates yet another annual
cultural day. Already the activities marking
this year’s Nupe Cultural Day which is the
11th in the series since the event
commenced in 2009, have commenced with
prayers in mosques and churches across
Nupe land last Friday and Sunday
respectively.

<a href="/2019/05/the-history-of-nupe-people.html"> The History Of The Nupe People</a>

This year’s event according to the Etsu
Nupe, who is also the chairman, Niger state
Council of Traditional rulers, would focus on
prayers as part of contribution to tackling the
raging insecurity across the country.

<a href="/2019/08/the-brief-walk-into-land-of-kukuruku.html"> The Brief Walk Into
The Land Of Kukuruku Hills (Etsako
Central)
</a>

The idea for the annual celebration itself was
muted by the Nupe elders and elders through
the tribe’s foundation to revive its declining
rich cultural heritage and prevent its
language from total extinction. The event
therefore lined up yearly programmes which
include lecture series on topical issues
concerning Nupe’s history, culture and
development; merit awards; agric exhibition
with the intent of promoting agriculture
potentials in Nupeland. Others are durbar,
sporting competition, turbanning of deserving
individuals who were conferred with
traditional titles of the land, boat regatta,
cultural shows and fishing competition
amongs others.

The choice of June 26th is of immense
historical significance. It was the day in 1869
which saw the defeat of invading British
Army in the hands of Nupe Calvary at Ogidi
in the present day Kogi state during the reign
of Etsu Bubakar (Abubakar). The gallantry
displayed by the Nupe army halted the
British’s army’s advance and to take the
Sokoto Caliphate and eventual overrun of
what is today Northern Nigeria.

</a>

Eleven years down the line, the Nupe
foundation is marching slowly but steadily
towards its destination. First, through the
annual event, Nupe land is gradually
witnessing a cultural rebirth and even
renaissance of some sort. Each year since
2009, the annual event do witness what
historians referred to as the reenactment of
Ndakogboya and Igunu masquerade’s with
their various dance steps.

Although the mystery surrounding Igunu
commonly known to the Nupe and Yoruba is
still unknown but a school of thought
believed that they are giant masquerades
that are initially part of a cult form to fight
witchcrafts. Alapini was said to be the head
of the hierarchy of Igunu priest which include
Elefi, Olohan, Oloba, Aladafa and Oloje,
which together led a colonization expedition
to Yoruba land, where the masquerades
were also believed to be introduced. 
It was said that with the near complete
Islamisation of most of the Nupe areas
following the incursion of 1830s, the
performances of traditional ceremonies and
culture declined and with it, the extinction of
the revered masquerades.
Today, the Ndakogbaya and Igunu returned
through a revival effort to dazzle the guests
at each event.

Masquerade</a>

Nupe people could be said to be
more united now than they were before with
the annual event serving as the unifying
platform. Each year during the event,
dignitaries from various tribes with which
Nupe shared historical link, flood Bida from
Katsina, Kano, Sokoto, Borno, Yoruba and
Igala land among others. The Kingdom’s
many cousins from Dibo, Ganagana, Kakanda, Bassa'nge, Chekpan, Kupa , Abawa were also always on ground
to identify as Nupe.

<a href="/2019/06/the-history-of-gbagyi-people.html"> The History Of The
Gbagyi People
</a>

Beyond the cultural renaissance and unity,
there seems to be conscious efforts and
interests by the youths in learning the Nupe
language through the efforts of the
foundation. In fact the Etsu himself has been
at the forefront in advocating for the
reintroduction of indigenous languages in the
nation’s education curriculum by concerned
authorities.

In his address during the inauguration of the
organising committtee for the 10th Nupe Day
celebration, the Etsu said such gesture
would be an antidote to the near extinction
of indigenous languages.
Chief among the issues on the list of the
Foundation’s demands with the Federal
Government is the call for the dredging and
utilisation of Baro Port which has been
completed and exploration of petroleum
products among others.

</a>

In spite of all that the Foundation has done
and is still doing, Nupe foundation still hopes
to continue its push towards attainment of a
State for KinNupe.
Through its ambitious ICT drive, the
Foundation In 2016 launched the ground
breaking ceremony for KinNupe ICT Centres
across all the LGAs in Nupeland. The
intention is to provide ICT infrastructure for
educational as well as research purposes of
Nupe communities.

The Foundation hopes to create an
educational fund from where it can be able
to sponsor sons and daughters of KinNupe
in science, technology and humanities
courses in the near future amongst other
efforts.

The Nupe Day As Tool For Cultural Revival And Unity

The Awori People Are One Of The Real Indigenes Of Lagos

A former Federal Commissioner for
Works , Alhaji Olufemi Okunnu (SAN ),
in this interview with TOBI AWORINDE ,
describes Lagosians as accommodating
but deserving of respect.

Is it true that Lagos is no man ’ s land?

There is no place called ‘No Man ’s
Land’ in the world . Every parcel of
land has its own history . Lagos has its
own history and the original inhabitants
of Lagos – the Aworis – settled over 500
years ago . I have said it many times
recently that Lagos has its own
indigenes. The Aworis were the first
group of settlers who inhabited Lagos
city and suburbs. Maybe some centuries
after , there was the invasion by the
Binis, the Edo- speaking people, who
invaded Lagos and set up their own
institutions. In fact , the obaship of
Lagos has a lot to do with the Benin
Kingdom. So , the Binis also invaded and
settled in Lagos . Oba of Lagos is of Edo
or Bini origin , not Yoruba , and all the
other chiefs, who came with the first
oba , that is, Ado — I am talking of a
group of white - cap chiefs called
Akarigbere — also are of Bini origin .

ALSO SEE: 
<a href="/2019/08/the-brief-walk-into-land-of-kukuruku.html"> The Brief Walk Into
The Land Of Kukuruku Hills (Etsako
Central)
</a>

The Akarigberes include the following
chiefs: Eletu Odigbo, Eletu Iwashe,
Eletu Ika , Ologun Agbaje , Ologun
Adodo, Eletu Awo, Ologun Agan,
Ologun Atebo , Ologun Igbesodi and
Ologun Ide Okoro . All these were Binis
or Edo- speaking , with their families ,
and they settled largely in the Isale Eko,
Idunmota and Idunshagbe parts of
Lagos Island . When you hear of
Idunmota, Idunshagbe , Idunmaigbo,
Idunmagbo , etc ., ‘Idun ’ means area —
Bini origin . They, not Yorubas , settled
there. Apart from the Akarigbere class
of chiefs, there were also the Abagbon
class of chiefs, who came with Ado,
again Binis : Ashogbon (war chiefs),
Bajulaiye (‘Bazuaye ’ as they call it in
Benin today), Saba , Bajulu , Bashua
(which is another form of ‘ Bazua ’). They
were all Bini or Edo - speaking, not
Yoruba .

Are you saying that the Binis too can
claim ownership of Lagos ?

What I’m trying to emphasise is that
Lagos , in terms of indigenes, is not only
the Yoruba , although they don ’t speak
Bini language now because they have
all abandoned Bini language ; it is not
spoken among them . They are all
Yoruba - speaking like the Fulani , who
conquered the Hausa . The Kano people
don’ t speak Fula ; they speak Hausa , the
language of the conquered . So , you
don’ t hear the Bini , who settled in
Lagos some three centuries ago ,
speaking Bini any longer. They speak
the language of the people they found
there.

<a href="/2019/06/the-history-of-gbagyi-people.html"> The History Of The
Gbagyi People
</a>

So , who owns Lagos ?

The Idejo class of chiefs in Lagos are of
Awori origin . They are the land - owning
class of chiefs . They owned Olumegbon
(the whole of Ajah belonged to the
Olumegbon chieftaincy family); Oniru
(the whole of Victoria Island ); Ojomu ,
next door to Ajah (there is Oba Ojomu
now); Elegushi (the land being at Ikate );
the Onisemo . The whole of Apapa
Peninsula used to belong to the Oluwa
family. The British compulsorily
acquired the whole of Apapa and paid
compensation to them . The Ojora of
Lagos (that is Ijora ) were the original
settlers . Apart from the Aworis and the
Binis, you have another wave of
immigrants to Lagos .

ALSO SEE: 
<a href="/2019/07/ireku-ajinomoh-nupe-invasion-of-ebira.html"> Ireku Ajinomoh (Nupe
Invasion of Ebira
Land)
</a>

The Tapa and Nupe people from Niger
State were another class of immigrants
into Lagos . Again , they spoke no
Yoruba , but they were even more
Yoruba than the Yoruba . They married
(from the Yoruba ) and settled . A good
number of us — I have Nupe blood .
Part of my blood is Nupe . By way of
speaking, part of it also Bini ; and part
of it also Yoruba – Owu, Abeokuta – and
some other strands from other parts of
Yoruba land . So , Lagos is a microcosm
of ethnic groups. You can ’t say it is 100
per cent Yoruba . Mark you ; there are
Yoruba - speaking (settlers ) apart from
the Aworis, (like ) the Ijebus in Ikorodu ,
in Epe. There are Eguns also in Badagry
division , who are indigenes; they are
not Yoruba . Then you have mass
migration also from Yoruba land – Ekiti,
Ijebu , Ijesha , and all such – you have
them there. When you talk about Agodo
Egba, for example , that is the
homestead of Egba settlers . And Agodo
Egba is the heart of Isale Eko. The
Ogundinmus come from that area.

Lagos , like I said, is a microcosm and it
is also very cosmopolitan . To say Lagos
is no man ’ s land is like saying Nigeria is
no man ’s land . The people who settled
in Lagos — the Saros , the freed slaves
who came from Freetown , Sierra Leone;
those who came from Brazil , the freed
slaves from Cuba, are in the Aguda
(Brazilian Quarters ) part of Lagos
Island. They are all indigenes of Lagos .
So, anybody who says Lagos is no man ’s
land does not know what he or she is
talking about . The person knows
nothing about Lagos .

ALSO SEE: 
<a href="/2018/12/list-of-nupe-villages-and-towns-in.html"> The List Of Nupe Villages And
Towns In Niger State, Kwara
State And Kogi State</a>

It is the nature of Lagos . Some of them
settled elsewhere but about the
Brazilians, most of them settled in
Lagos . They didn’ t settle neither in
Ijebu Ode nor Ibadan because Lagos is
by the sea ; so , a good number of them
came to Lagos to settle .

Was Lagos originally part of Western
Nigeria?

Lagos is older than western Nigeria .
You heard me talk of five centuries ago ;
the present Lagos State was colonised
by Britain in 1861. There was no
Western Nigeria at that time; so , Lagos
is older than Western Nigeria . Western
Nigeria didn ’t come into being until
about 1938 when the Southern
Protectorate , created by Britain in 1900,
was split into two. Southern
Protectorate was split into West and
East and in 1938, we had the Western
provinces, small divisions like Ijebu
Ode Province , Egba Province , Oyo
Province , Ondo Province and other
groups of provinces but Western
Nigeria was created only in 1938. Lagos
was created as a British colony in 1861.
So, Lagos is older than Western Nigeria
by 78 years. The Western provinces
then became Western Region in 1946
under the Richards Constitution . The
provincial system, the Western
provinces, came in when Sir Bourdillon
was governor of Nigeria and Western
State came into being only in 1967. So,
Lagos is by far older than the rest of
Nigeria as a colony .

<a href="/2019/05/the-history-of-nupe-people.html"> The History Of The Nupe People</a>

What made the settlers from Benin, Brazil ,
Nupe and all these other places come to
Lagos ? What was the attraction ?

Why do you think the original Lagosians
do not seem to be defending the heritage
of Lagos ?

They are very much defensive of the
heritage . Take ‘ Eyo ’ festivals for
example; that ’ s when you see an old
Lagos . They are defensive but they are
fewer in number compared to non -
Lagosians. The number is dwindling
and the percentage is getting smaller .
What you had before in the majority of
the people, indigenes of Lagos
becoming 70 per cent , 60 per cent , 40
per cent . The population of Lagos State
is estimated to be around 18 million .
The indigenes are only a microscopic
minority. I don’ t think we are up to five
per cent of the population of Lagos
now. That is the disadvantage we have,
non- indigenes virtually taking over the
governance of Lagos .

There is this issue about the original
Lagosians not having enough
representation in governance...

Democracy is a game of numbers , and
personally , I would wish for Nigeria a
democracy in which an indigene of
Lagos could be governor of Kano State
and a man from Calabar or Sokoto will
be the governor of Lagos State. That is
my own dream and the dream of
people of my own generation . 
Unfortunately, politicians have messed
up the whole country and are talking
too much about ethnicity . Old Lagos
didn’ t know about any ethnicity . 
 There
was a saying that ‘ Eko gba ole, o gba
ole’ (Lagos accommodates the thieves
and lazy people). All manner of people
from different parts of the country
settled in Lagos and were welcome . I
am not talking of the indigenous people
like the Tapas or Binis but I am talking
of the people in the past 100 years. And
Lagos , until 1950, spoke for Nigeria and
still speaks for Nigeria . Nigerian politics
is Lagos politics . There was no Nigerian
politics outside Lagos until 1950. Lagos
spoke for Nigeria . So the cankerworm
of ethnicity has now eaten deep into
our flesh that everything is reduced to
ethnicity . We didn’ t worry at all about
where you came from in the old Lagos . 
When I was growing up , Dr . Nnamdi
Azikiwe was elected the first Lagos
member in 1946. I wasn ’t told , I saw it ,
I was there. That was 1946. I was 13
years old in primary school. He was
from Onitsha , an Igbo man , but Lagos
people adored him and they voted for
him . I heard Dr . Olorun - nimbe was a
Lagosian, while the third member ,
elected in 1946, was Prince Adeleke
Adedoyin from Shagamu. 
Unfortunately, you now hear of
Ohanaeze and Afenifere. I want people
to talk more of PDP , APC, political
parties, not ethnicity . Ethnicity divides
Nigeria , it divided us in compartments .
Igbo this way , Yoruba that way and
Hausa this way, Efiks behind. You can
never build one Nigeria and Nigeria can
never be great until we reduce
ethnicity to cultural matters.

Of The 19th Century By
Ndagi Abdullahi</a>

Would you say a former Lagos State
Governor , Bola Tinubu, should be
commended in this regard ?

I’m commending nobody because the
emphasis in Nigerian politics today is
ethnicity . Afenifere should not be
existing now. If you talk of Yoruba
culture, Oduduwa , yes . Afenifere was
formed by a group of former Action
Group members when political parties
were banned in the 70s during the
military rule. Once the ban was lifted,
they transformed into Unity Party (of
Nigeria ) under (Chief Obafemi )
Awolowo. Afenifere should have
disappeared completely . If you want to
talk about Yoruba culture , that ’s a
different thing . But Afenifere as a group
talking about politics is a form of
division . The same applies to Ohanaeze
and Arewa . They should not be in
politics or they should disappear from
the political scene. If you want to
promote culture , I’m with you . They
should not make political statements.
They should leave politics to political
parties. Ethnicity divides us.

<a href="/2019/07/video-ndako-gboya-nupe-masquerade.html"> VIDEO: Ndako Gboya Nupe
Masquerade</a>

India , with a population of 1. 4 billion ,
doesn ’t emphasise ethnicity . An Indian
is an Indian anywhere in the world .
They wouldn ’t say , ‘I’m from Madras ’
or ‘ I am Gujarati ’. Nigerians should be
proud to be called Nigerians anywhere
in the world . We are not proud . We
prefer to identify ourselves as Fulani, Nupe, Efik , Ibibio , Ijaw, Tiv or Hausa . Why?
The Chinese , who make up the most
populous country in the world , don’ t
say , ‘I am from Shandong ’. 
Nigerians
should now learn to refer to themselves
as Nigerians . We are not growing
economically, politically , socially or
culturally. We can ’ t grow. We won’ t
grow.

Are you happy that there are Igbo in
Lagos holding elective offices?

In Lagos where I grew up , there were
Igbo councillors but they didn ’t contest
elections on the Igbo platform . They
contested election on the platform of
the Democratic Party founded by
Herbert Macaulay in 1922 and the NCNC
in 1944 because most of them belonged
to that alliance . In those days, there was
no ethnic consciousness . There was
Nigerian consciousness .

Do you think Nigeria as a whole needs to
borrow a leaf from Lagos ?

I think so . If Nigeria were Lagos , what a
glorious country Nigeria would be .
What a prosperous country Nigeria
would be for Nigerians to refer to
themselves and (for them to ) be known
as Nigerians , not Ijaw , Hausa, Igbo ,
Yoruba or Edo ; where I can contest
election anywhere in the country and
hope to win.

<a href="/05/the-first-professor-in-nupe-land.html"> The First Professor In
Nupe Land</a>

But there are Lagosians who believe that
only Lagosians are qualified to hold
political offices in Lagos .

Not the people of Lagos , not the
indigenes. The indigenes, as I’ve told
you , are very accommodating . The only
thing is that you don’ t push them out.
What they are resisting is being pushed
out of their birthplace . They are willing
to live with anybody; they have no
choice: Freedom of movement of
people of this country .

There was a controversy over the choice of
Prof. Wole Soyinka as the chairman of the
Lagos @50 planning committee because of
his Ogun ancestry . Did you see it as an
issue ?

I saw it as an issue and my advice to
the governor at that time was to call
the indigenes and make peace with
them . The protesters are being left out
completely . We don’ t leave people who
can trace their ancestry back over 500
years. So, there was an issue that ‘yes ,
we ’re celebrating but don’ t leave us
out’. That ’s what they were saying , and
especially, as I’ve said earlier , (Lagos is )
a cosmopolitan area . I would wish to be
asked to head a celebration (committee )
in Enugu or Onitsha . I look forward to
the day — not at my age now — to be
asked to head a committee in Kano,
Sokoto, born and bred in Lagos , just as
I would wish to see , as there used to
be , a Mallam (Umaru) Altini from the
North as mayor of Enugu in the 40s .

Besides ethnicity , politicians use
religion to divide us. That is not Lagos
of old . In the Lagos of those days, you
would find Muslims taking part in
Christian festivals . You would find, in
those days, Christians taking part in
Muslim festivals . There ’ s an old friend,
about 94 years old now, a Christian,
who said he used to derive pleasure in
eating rice or mosa which people used
to take to the mosques in those days for
early morning prayers. As Muslims , on
New Year’s Day or Christmas Day, some
of us would gather in front of the
Cathedral Church at Marina . We were
one people, different religions . But
today, they’ ve brought religion into
politics .

<a href="/2019/01/nupe-timeline-by-ama-ndagi-abdullahi.html"> The NUPE TIMELINE By
Áma Ndagi Abdullahi</a>

The Christian Association of Nigeria has
been overdoing it lately , which is bad.
Muslims have endured over the years
and have also absorbed some Christian
values and practices . In many ways , the
governance of Nigeria is Christian.
Muslims don ’t protest. So, I feel that the
CAN leadership today is dividing this
country and (there should be ) less talk
of Nigeria being a member of the
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation or
Sukuk (Islamic banking). Most of the
people who support Islamic banking
outside of the country are Christians . So
what ’s wrong with Islamic or Christian
banking?

Akiolu, Ambode, Okunnu fault claim that
Lagos is no man ’ s land 
Speakers at the Lagos History Lecture
yesterday explained that the Awori are
the original indigenes of Lagos .

They also described the claim that Lagos
is no man ’ s land as erroneous .
Deliberating on the theme , Lagos : 
yesterday, today and tomorrow,” the
keynote speaker and panelists
maintained that the Awori were the first
occupants of Lagos though the city over
the years had evolved , accommodating
different tribes .

<a href="/2018/12/san-bushmen-people-world-most-ancient.html"> San
Bushmen People, The World Most
Ancient Race People In Africa</a>

The keynote speaker, Dean , College of
Humanities and Social Sciences , Al -
Hikmah University , Prof . Hakeem
Danmole , said : “ The unparalleled growth
that Lagos has witnessed over the years
is a product of having been blessed with
men and women of vision, who have
been able to effectively anchored
developments in the state .”

Providing an insight into the history of
Lagos , Danmole said Lagos Island, called
Eko by the indigenous population is a
name with an origin in two well known
traditional but controversial accounts . 
“ Nevertheless, it is important to note that
one version of the name relates to the
advent of Awori , while the other is
connected to Benin adventures in
Lagos .”

ALSO SEE: 
<a href="/2019/06/the-hairstyles-in-african-culture.html"> The Hairstyles In African Culture
</a>

Despite this controversy , Danmole
maintained that it is certain that the
Awori settled in Lagos earlier than the
Benin , which eventually subjugated the
emergent settlement. 
According to him : “ Written records insist
that Olofin , the leader of the Awori at
Iddo divided Lagos among his children. 
Although many versions exit with regards
to the number of children Olofin has,

Danmole further said that unlike the
Awori, the accounts of Benin ’s relations
with Lagos were fundamental to the
evolution and eventual administration of
the emergent settlement. 
His narrative that the Awori are the first
occupants of Lagos was supported by
other speakers , including Governor
Akinwunmi Ambode , Alhaji Femi
Okunnu , Senator Habib Fasinro and Oba
Rilwan Akiolu. 
They all said it is erroneous to say Lagos
is no man ’ s land .

The Brief Walk Into The Land Of Kukuruku Hills (Etsako Central)

There are many tribes in the southern part of
Nigeria who owe their origin to the Great Benin
Kingdom, the Etsako / Nupe is one of them.

According to oral tradition, the present-day Etsako
people were once integral to the Benin Kingdom.

Invasion of Ebira
Land)
</a>

But sometime around the 15th century, angered and
disgruntled with the monarchy of the then reigning
Oba, there began a mass departure from the Benin
Kingdom by this tribe who first encamped at the
Obadan/Okphiaghamen Community. 
The settlement was about 30 miles away from
Benin City.

Bushmen People, The World Most
Ancient Race People In Africa</a>

However, it was common in those days for the Oba
to give chase to his fleeing subjects in other to
bring them back to his dominion.

Confronting this possibility, the fleeing people of
Etsako decided to go beyond the Oba's reach. They
left their encampment of 13 years and went further
into the hinterland to settled at Aviele, which is
today Etsako West local government area.

Also known as the “KUKURUKU’S”, a name derived
from the Kukuruku Hills which was a defence
barricade for the people during the inter-tribal wars
and the historical Nupe invasion, the people of
Etsako are part of the Afemai’s 
A nationality that comprises of the Akoko Edo’s, the
Owan’s and the Etsako people.

It is important to note that for a long time the
Etsako people were integral with Akoko Edo and
Owan. And so it was until the urge for greater
autonomy led to another exodus; thereby splitting
the community into various segments as they
migrated to different directions from the Aviele.

<a href="/05/the-first-professor-in-nupe-land.html"> The First Professor In
Nupe Land</a>

Nevertheless, the biggest group of this community
remained together. They are the Etsako nation of
today. And despite the division, they still hold on
strongly to the spirit of oneness. 
These are the twelve autonomous clans in Etsako.

Another interesting thing about the Etsako people is
their name. Literally, Etsako means 'people who
have chopped off their teeth'. 
Customarily, it is expected of men who married
young women to inflict some bodily mark as a
means of identification. 
This they did by chopping off part of their incisor
with either a knife or a chisel. Though it wasn't a
painless procedure. The thought that it bespoke of
their status as virgins made them love it.

Towns In Niger State, Kwara
State And Kogi State</a>

Occupation 
 60% population of farmers, farming is the
predominant occupation of the Etsako people.
However, the presence of water also creates room
for fishermen. 
There are also hunters as well as specialist
blacksmiths.

Hard work is largely intrinsic to their tradition. And
such is their love for it that it is said a lazy man
should not be found in their midst. 
Be that as it may, with globalisation and it's
influence, there is a steady decline in such
vocations, as more and more of the Etsako people
seek out white collar jobs.

<a href="/2019/05/the-history-of-nupe-people.html"> The History Of The Nupe People</a>

Belief 
Before the advent of Christianity and Islam, the
Etsako people were originally practitioners of the
African traditional religion. 
But with the arrival of the missionaries, many got
converted to those religions, this accounted for why
Christianity is predominant in this region followed
by a large concentration of Muslims mostly in the
Auchi, Agbede and the Okpella axis.

</a>

It is important to note that with the coming of
westernization, a greater part of Etsako has become
one of the most vital commercial hubs in Edo
state. 
Auchi is home to one of the best the best tertiary
institutions in Nigeria. There is also a strong stone
mining industry and cement factories as well.

Ireku Ajinomoh (Nupe Invasion of Ebira Land)

The Nupe invasion of Ebiraland in the late
nineteenth century was an offshoot of the Fulani
Jihad of 1804, spearheaded by Usman Dan Fodio.
The spread of the Jihad was a sort of war action.
The Sokoto jihadist conquered the Nupe Kingdom,
who in turn took it upon themselves to Islamize
the Ebira. The Nupe invasion was therefore in the
pretext of spreading Islam.

ALSO SEE: 
<a href="/2019/05/the-history-of-nupe-people.html"> The History Of The Nupe People</a>

It is common knowledge however, that slave-
raiding and the ambition to plunder and loot were
their main motivating factors. The Nupe first
invaded Ebiraland in about 1865. The Ebira
effectively damned the tide of the invaders, then
came another massive but equally abortive
invasion variously put to have occurred in 1875 or
1885. The Nupe warriors assisted by their Ilorin
and Ibadan cohorts attacked Ebiraland through
Ihima. The Ebira again emerged triumphant.

ALSO SEE: 
<a href="/2018/12/list-of-nupe-villages-and-towns-in.html"> The List Of Nupe Villages And
Towns In Niger State, Kwara
State And Kogi State</a>

The success of the Ebiraland in defending their
“ete ohiku” was due to a number of factors. The
Ebira were very brave people who would prefer to
die than to allow foreigners (ani ikinami) to laud it
over them. Their skill with bow and arrows
buttressed their bravery while the hilly nature of
their environment proved an added advantage over
the Nupe who fought on horse-back.

ALSO SEE: 
<a href="/2018/12/san-bushmen-people-world-most-ancient.html"> San
Bushmen People, The World Most
Ancient Race People In Africa</a>

The gods of Ebiraland did not go to sleep when
their ‘children’ were being threatened by external
invaders. Either by coincidence or supernatural
design, the invaders disturbed the hive of a swarm
of bees on the hill housing “Ori Ihima” deity. The
bees stung and stung, forcing the invaders to beat
a hasty retreat. For his saving grace, the “Ori
Ihima” was acclaimed as the divine force that
preserved the independence of the Ebira until the
colonial wind of change swept over Ebiraland in
1903-4.

Of The 19th Century By
Ndagi Abdullahi</a>

The war had some consequences on the whole
Ebiraland. It disturbed farming, thereby causing
famine in the land. Some of the Ebira captives
during the war were sold into slavery and slave
raiding (ako) became widespread even among
indigenes.
