Brief history of Koton Karfe Emirate . By His Royal Majesty Alh.Abdulrazaq Isa-koto. Kogi ( Koton-Karfe ) The forgotten cradle of Egbira civilization. It is bassically a fishing and farming community, which also had a rich history of iron smelting. But a title holder in the Igwu kingdom said “nobody wants to be a blacksmith these days,” so the huge deposits of iron ore beneath the foothills remain largely untapped. Sadly, their iron smelting heritage for which they became popular has almost gone into extinction. No single blacksmith was found in Koton Karfe, when our reporter sought to see one. The Ohimegye ofIgwu (Koton Karfe), His Royal Majesty Alhaji Abdulrazak Gambo Isa Koto, said Igwu kingdom is one of the oldest kingdoms in North Central Nigeria, spanning over 400 years.

SALUTE TO THE EGBURA WOMAN

Image
SALUTE TO THE EGBURA WOMAN Like a thick rope She ties together the whole home The connecting road between the old and young She is the strong breed The Egbura woman. She hangs on the wings of loyalty and faith No matter how hot the wind of disagreement and anger blows She never falls on the hard floor of anger and disrespect She is a lawful immigrant who crosses no border without clearance The white dove never darkens That is the Egbura woman. See this lioness like a lion Her heart of iron yet so tender In it flows plenty milk of kindness A stream that never dries in all seasons Gbede full of life and ripe with life.
