The Gbagyi People by Adudavidlee(m): 10:47pm On Jun 16, 2016 |
We arrive in Abuja in no time, from Kaduna, and on entering, we spotted the Gbagyi Woman (statue). Gbagyi people are Sauka indigenes and they speak Gbagyi. They are different from Bassa people, though they always maintain close neighbourliness with them because their forefathers had cordial relationships with Bassa people. We inquired into why their women carry heavy loads on the shoulders instead of head, and we learnt two reasons why: 1. That it was a method used by their progenitors which has been found convenient, AND 2. Oral tradition believes that carrying heavy loads on the head amounts to retarding the human capacity to think and reason appropriately.
