The long-anticipated Yala culture-based publication, OGRIGBO MAGAZINE, is set to be officially unveiled in a grand ceremony.
This maiden edition, themed “Standing Tall on Deep Roots,”** delves into the rich histories and origins of various tribes in Yala Local Government Area (LGA) and beyond. It serves as a treasure trove of cultural preservation and pride, offering readers an opportunity to reconnect with their heritage while celebrating the resilience and contributions of Yala people to society.
Highlights of the magazine include:
Historical Chronicles: Detailed accounts of the histories and origins of Yala tribes, preserving the stories of the past for future generations.
Profiles of Yala Legends: A curated compilation of Yala’s Legendary Icons of the Pristine Era—individuals whose remarkable achievements shaped the cultural and historical landscape of Yala LGA.
Trailblazers: A celebratory list of Yala indigenes who have excelled in various fields, blazing trails and bringing honor to the community.
Prestigious Personalities: Insightful entries on notable individuals from Yala LGA who have attained distinguished positions in different walks of life.
The launch ceremony promises to be more than just an unveiling. It will also feature the conferment of awards and recognitions on deserving families and individuals. These honorees, keenly nominated and thoroughly scrutinized by a committee of reputable and objective minds, represent the values of excellence, patriotism, and human-capital development. This initiative is designed to inspire Yala sons and daughters to strive for greatness and foster unity and pride in the community.
The team behind Ogrigbo Magazine aspires to make this cultural and historical publication an annual tradition, continually documenting the evolving narratives of Yala people while celebrating their milestones and achievements. The team is led by Jerome Alex, a trained philosopher of Yala extraction, who has been very keen about the evolutionary dimensions of humanity.
You are cordially invited to join this team in unveiling the first edition of this patriotic endeavor—a publication that not only connects the past with the present but also lays a foundation for a brighter future.
Let us stand together as Yala people, proud of our heritage and united in our pursuit of excellence.
