A people of great hospitality, blessed with a great kitchen and clothing plus a high profile traditional music status. I bring to you Ibira people of kogi state.We begin our tour with the life and culture of Ibira people. Like most men will agree, food is man.
We all know pounded yam but with the Ibira people, it is made into a very delicious delicacy. It is either eaten with 'egusi' (melon seed) soup or mostly 'ebatu' (garden egg) soup. The preparation of this meal is quite simple and straight forward. Also, 'elibo'(peels of dried cassava) is also eaten. It (elibo) is sometimes mixed with guinea corn and dried before being grinded and cooked.
DRESS STYLE.
In the olden days, the people of Ibira land were mostly farmers (civilisation they say has come). The men wore 'Ovente' (a piece of cloth wrapped around the waist and between the legs). The ladies wore 'aso-eke' (a cloth made manually by weaving). This was and is still used in carrying babies on the back. Still to come, music from ebira's best and quotes. *wink* you will surely like it.
