Ebira Vonya International 2008 Scholarship Award

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

I am deeply touched with the success of the scholarship award that took place in Adavi Local Government Area on November 29, 2008. I will like to seize this opportunity to congratulates all Ebira in the Diaspora and Nigeria for coordinating this event. My special thanks goes to Engr. Isiaka Arudi and Nathaniel Ochu for masterminding the smooth running of the event. You earn our respect. My thanks also goes to Alhaji (Engr.) Usman Anivasa for making it home to attend the event with his wife.

My ultimate respect goes to Justice Usman Bello, All the Ebira OHIS and other Ebira Leaders that attended the occasion. We cannot be more happy to see that we have wonderful Ebiras who are looking for the progress of our Fatherland. Those of us outside the Country believed strongly that we shall one day return home and embrace our Fatherland. Don't ask what Ebira can do for you, but ask what you can do for Ebiraland and your Country Nigeria.

With that in mind, let us not identify our selves as Ozidu, Ozuka, Ozimoye etc, but instead, identify our selves as Anebira. This clannish divides need to be rooted out of our land. It has not help us to progress at all, it only divides us. Don't be ashamed to say to anybody that Ebira Vonya. By the special grace of God Ebira will be Vonya (Amen).
