Yesterday, September 10, we premiered A Road from Ogbomoso to Jos simultaneously in Ogbomoso and Jos. It was a moment to rewind the story of Ogbomoso migration to Jos and to reflect on how generations of Ogbomoso people left home, travelled north, built communities, established businesses and made a life for themselves on the Plateau.
The date for the beginning of Ogbomoso migration to Jos varies in accounts, particularly because the earliest records are limited. The documentary therefore relies largely on oral histories, including accounts from people who were born in Jos in the early 1900s and witnessed or inherited these stories firsthand.
In Jos, Johnson Okunade received members of the Ogbomoso community and indigenous people of Plateau who came to watch the film. I learnt that Ogbomoso Parapo came with two full buses, while the Chairman of Jos North L.G. and his wife; Chief Jide Olagbemiro, the current Oba Yoruba in Jos; and many others were also in attendance. Let's look forward to the official release from Jos.
In Ogbomoso, I had the privilege of receiving young and old, guests and dignitaries who came to see and learn about the journeys of those who came before us and how Ogbomoso people built lives and communities far from home. It was an honour to welcome representatives from Ogbomoso Parapo; the Departments of Linguistics and Nigerian Languages, LAUTECH; Department of History, LAUTECH; Kabiyesi Gbolagunte Oyeniran Olaosebikan, Onifedegbo of Fedegbo; Emeritus Professor Omotoye Olorode; Professor Akin Oyetade; Mr Benjamin Onigbinde (of Sigvent Ltd); TAMPAN Ogbomoso North, South, Ogoluwa, Surulere, and Oriire; Sweet Home Arrival Society, made up of Jos returnees in Ogbomoso; Badero Soun Group; and other groups who joined us. We are grateful to Oluseun Onigbinde Resource Centre for hosting the Ogbomoso screening.
May Ogbomoso continue to prosper wherever her people find themselves under the heavens.
