I was elated when i went through my mails and got a lot of encouraging words and responses to my mail from some of my viewers, I just want to say: a very big thank you, I appreciate it.
Do watch out for the "Flashback on NYSC in Kogi State" next week; a summary of the last Community Development project carried out by the Foundation in Lokoja, Kogi State. Thank you.
But before then, let me tell you a bit about the state - Kogi, which is being presenlty governed by his execellency Alhaji Ibrahim Idris.
Kogi is a state in the north-central zone of Nigeria. It is popularly called the confluence state due to the fact that the confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue occurs there. Its capital is Lokoja. There are three main ethnic groups in Kogi: Igala, Ebira, and Okun; with the Igalas being the largest ethnic group in the state. There are many mineral resources in Kogi, including iron, petroleum and tin.
The state was formed in 1991 from parts of Benue State and Kwara State. Among its many languages are the:
Ø Kakanda spoken by the Kogi LGA
Ø Kupa spoken by the people in Kogi LGA, around Abugi (52 villages)
Ø Ebira spoken by the people in Kogi LGA
Ø Bassa spoken by the people of Bassa LGA's
Ø Igala spoken by the Ankpa, Idah, Dekina, and Bassa LGA's
Ø Nupe-Nupe Tako spoken by Kogi LGA
Ø Oko-Eni-Osayen spoken by the Okene LGA, Ogori and Magongo towns, ten miles south southwest of Okene
