Ebira people and strong head are like bread and butter. But there was this ebira girl i met while i was serving... Ohisa. Beautiful, smart, inteigent, diligent and very compassionate. I still feel I should have brought her home as a bride or stayed back in LKJ because of her

They share some words with Yoruba. Sometimes the meaning will be the same, most time, it's the exact opposite

Do you even know what Anglicisation is?
You are not vast in English phonetics. There is no "gb" sound in English phonetics. Nothing like anglicisation here.

Had it been the former was the correct one, you would have been right to say it's anglicisation.
Even me confuse for the guy matter

One of my favourite set of people. They are very real and loyal but can be very stubborn, even their girls.....good lovers and very beautiful.

They are always looking gentle until yhu step on their toes .....dem go give yhu hot hot


Very protective and good to have as friends. Once yhu hear Adai, ah, yhu don belong be that.

They will fight for yhu like say yhu be their real blood. I love them as friends. Very jovial and intelligent too , once yhu are their friends, they're always there for yhu.

You're quite right....they are stubborn, but they are true to their words and are very loyal to their friends

Very true. In fact,those who attended some multicultural northern universities like ABU zx in the 90s can attest to this. They were majorly the lead causes of religious unrest in the varsity then. Highly fanatical.

Reason why I wasn’t surprised when the media once reported of ISWAP base in kogi.

No. They’ve never been and Yorubas never claimed them. But they’ve been living in the west for long. They love yorubas a lot and we love them too. I know Yoruba men that are married to their women and vice-Versace. Their women are usually very loyal and disciplined. They’re very kind, strong and useful people I’ve ever met. You’ll hardly find them committing crimes. They talk less, do more..

They’ve worked for me before when I was into transport business. They all did well. Loyal to the core. Infact, I rewarded their loyalties. After they paid me half of the of my money, I told them not to worry about the remaining money. I really like it when I meet loyal people..

We love them a lot. They’re always seeing work here in the west. You’ll hardly find a jobless Egbira cuz work is always available for them cuz they’re very modest.

Egbiras are great people..
