This is good but I thought it was Ebira. This is because I am Anebira. Am I now Anegbira? I know the meaning of Ebira is good, virtuous character. What is the meaning of Egbira? Someone should help please.

Don't get me twisted, young man. I Neva said the name "Ebira" has not been bastardised to "Egbira". I am against you saying it is anglicisation. Do you really know what Anglicisation is? "/gb/ sound is not in English phonetics.

For instance "Igbo" is anglicised to "Ibo".
Okay, I get it now. Thank you.

No ebira guy alive can snatch my gf, I like the ebiras of okene as they are a bit friendly compared to the ones in mozum(Bassa local government) who are killing Bassa tribe that are the owner of the local government.
Mind you am from kogi state, I'm only stating the fact.

Below are screenshots of reactions of an overwhelming majority of the members of a pan-Igarra WhatsApp group as regards this imposition Ebiras have done and termed a gazette. So this whole thing is dead on arrival it will not stand. Igarra people are already constituting a team of lawyers to challenge this crappy gazette.

Yes,
It's a self explanatory simple sentences.
The BASSA tribe are the owner of BASSA local government.
But the ebiras that are staying in Mozum(one of the towns) in Bassa local keep attacking the Bassa indigenes in the local government.

And I asked you how? ..because you said so? Because it's called BASSA? Because they have the highest population.. how?

I know it's typical Nigerian character to make unfounded claims and ignorantly persist, so I do not bother trying to educate anyone but for sake of FACT, what if I told you that the Mozum are Landlords of the Bassa in ACTUAL sense. Your response would be....?

No, it's not because it's called Bassa, but because the truth will always be what it is no matter the narratives or what people choose to believe.

And again, you said Mozum are the landlords of Bassa? For real?? How
I think you're educated enough to have wade yourself out of the mentality of always hijacking people's land which ebiras are known for.

Good. I will explain with FACTS. You may ACCEPT or DENY?

First, the town of Mozum (Imozu) has been in existence ever before any Abatsa (Bassa) ever stepped foot in there.
Secondly, the Bassa komu came in from Nasarawa where they fled from Jihadists.

Thirdly, it was indeed the Mozum King (Ohiogba) who bore the pain to select individuals of the various Bassa komu clans in Nasarawa, then transport them with HIS canoes across the River Benue to Kogi State to save them from extinction.

Fourth, on getting to Kogi State, the Mozum King again sought permission from the Attah Ig.ala which was granted to settle your ancestors in the wider Igal.aland.

Not only that, he (Ohiogba) allocated lands to each of these Bassa clans on behalf of the Attah which still holds true till this day. In fact, BASSA LGA capital of OGUMA is an eb.ira word for a type of MAT upon which your ancestors lay on arrival as refugees... should I go on?

Did you TRULY not know of this or did your parents/elders hide these facts from you for cultural or political convenience ?

Now that I have said mine, I go back to my original question, and you can tell me YOUR truth...

HOW ARE THE BASSA TRIBE THE OWNER OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Or, in perspective, how are the Ebira of Mozum 'hijacking' the same lands THEY allocated you?

Me as an unsentimentalist, I have never heard of any narration near been similar to your own narration, but I'm standing tall to say it boldly that what you just wrote up there is lies because am certain you are not a witness to what you said for it's what you were told.(Summarily BASELESS).

That aside, can you tell me why the ebiras keep invading the Bassa Land?
What is the cause of this conflict??

For sentimentalism, I usually do not expect anyone in todays 'one-nigeria' to agree to any idea that puts them in less favourable position whatsoever, especially one who CLEARLY has no idea of their own History!

That I have to be alive in 1860 to witness well documented events for myself in order to be FACTUAL is nothing but a Joke! ...so much for the much vaunted education. I don't even need to mention how absurd it is to outrightly label a subject matter as 'LIES and BASELESS' simply because you have never heard them before. Your IGNORANCE has not a thing on me buddy.

As per the conflict, my understanding is that it is a spillover from another much longer conflict from Nasarawa between the same two groups. Ordinarily, this is unfortunate but still quite comprehensible. But then, there is some dissonance when you consider the peculiar history of cordiality I outlined with MOZUM and the BASSA KOMU, in contrast to what we have today with peddling all sorts of wild claims.

REMEMBER, I engaged you NOT even because you chose to slander a people you are in direct conflict with as anyone can say what they like, but because of the malicious MISINFORMATION you spread and GASLIGHTING tactics you employed to spice it... and you're still yet to respond to my initial question but I know you won't because you have no idea what you say or why you're saying it. That's just something you do!.

Either way, this particular rhetoric I recognize from some weird social media spaces which deserve to remain there. Once you leave that bubble into the REAL WORLD, these lies won't go unchecked.

You're welcome.

You seems to be intelligent compared to many ebiras I have met and engaged. Like Aimato(ebira guy) who was my secondary school classmate back then in Bassa LG kogi, he publicly condemned the attacks the ebiras are carrying out on the people of Bassa.

But you haven't still answer me, what the cause of this conflict is?

I already told you its a spillover of a longer running conflict in Nasarawa (to the best of my knowledge) that was a carried over to Kogi state.

I refuse to accept your narrative that it is SOLELY the Mozum that are doing the hijacking, attacking etc. the Ba.ssa must be doing same too especially coming with this mentality of WE'RE THE OWNER, and then turn around to place the entire blame on the Mozum. This is GASLIGHTING.

We all know Bassa LG was created in 1976 following recommendation of some govt panel that non-ig.ala speaking people's be given their LG.

I'm not from there BTW, not here to take sides either, but I read up to understand. Most of what I wrote is available if you do a google search. Ultimately, sincerity would go a long way in ending this conflict.

This time the watery mess leaking from your cranium didn't lead you to tag me an egbira person. Keep oscillating in misery as you ponder my tribe. Dyslexic, unproductive wizard. Ole lagos.

How many productive shop owners have you harassed today, bloody wizard. Thief. Maybe we should start sending your people who occupy offices outside the southwest home. Mr limestone and Quartz. F00l at 40!

Now keep digging my post, maybe you could see something worth trolling with. Coven dwelling born bastard. Bloody wizard.
How can you ever be egbira, they are not envious of Yorubas na, but I'm sure you're very related to those cannibalistic degenerates in the landlocked east and at the same time a militant living in the creeks.

How can you chase them away, when you're nothing but a fisherman living in a mosquito infested creek and all you do is get intoxicated to get away from your miserable lonely incel life...btw I'm not yet up to 25 years but ik I'm already more successful than all the Kaikai drinking beta males im your lineage.

And in your most pathetic delusions, you think we have any reason, whatsoever to be envious of the yoruba? Dream on, coven dwelling son of a wizard.

You're right, we don't have a general concensus code of hate and envy like you envious and greedy cunning thieves. So, I can't chase them away. But be rest assured that your opportunistic and greedy disposition have caught the eye of many.

A yoruba was chased from PTI Effurun, not quite long after he was imposed on the institution by your well known act of nepotism. Slowly but surely, we're getting there.

You belong to wateriest side of your father's alcohol saturated semen. How else does one explain your emotional and psychological vulnerability? You're such a daft. From your father is yoruba, your mother is itsekiri, I don't live in lagos and now you're 25, what is left to spew about your identity just because of a faceless guy who subjected you to online pressure on a faceless forum.

You're a disgrace to men, epecine wuss! Little wonder the tiny primitive fulanis could convert 50% of your people who share same weak genes as you to Muslims.

Cursed be the nurse who announced your birth as a male child. And cursed be the ground that swallowed the foreskin of your circumcision! You're worse than a pussý.

Pressure from you?? grin grin grin oh you're so deluded you militant boy, I have no reason to hide those info's, like I said I'm aggressively proud of my ethnicity, you can't even mention yours because you know you're tribe is something to be ashamed of.

Oh yeah you're envious of the ethnicity that's superior to your kind in all aspects of life, how miserable can it be to claim you have 'Oyel' but it's all dominated by the ethnicity you envy, the best you can produce in your miserable lineage is a gateman in the oil companies in your own ancestral land, while others are fishermen living miserably in the mosquito infested creeks.

You're not only a disgrace to men but to humanity, a miserable lonely incel whose whole existence is hating on women just because his cum dumping LovePeddler of a mother failed him... Little wonders to how every ethnicity in the country dominates your 'Oyel' while you do nothing but lament on a faceless forum. Cursed be to the harlot and fisherman that circumcised you, cursed be to the harlot that conceived you.

Like your fathers yielded their dignity to the conquering fulanis, so also have you yielded and emulated my jabs. It pales in comparison to the original author. It shows I'm hitting your deepest emotional defences. The times others dominated the oil industry is long over. Thanks to James Ibori, the Ogidigbo 1 who put a stop to many acts of thievery. Wike is doing a good job in taking the initiative.

Shame and false pride will never make you admit the torture you're going through but your pretence is too elementary to do a cover up job.

The first day your mother was admitted in the hospital for STDs infections, her vagina discharge was so dark that the lab specialist could swear it was pure unrefined crude oil. And the undies she wore that night was sent to the ECDC (European Centre For Disease Control) in France for further scientific investigation. That's to me, a tribute to the madingo Bender you call your mother.

I even learnt the narrow bridge separating her kpekus and anus was ruptured by a foreign expatriate who is famous for fvking black women in a violent manner. grin grin grin
