[00:00:25] news wherever the big news stories happening we're get up to
[00:00:28] aggregate.

[00:00:49] of they were eat like
[00:00:53] of royalty, effortless,
[00:00:56] assured and proud.
[00:01:01] from palace corridos to bustling
[00:01:04] markets from sacret
[00:01:07] mosks to high
[00:01:09] of provide gatherings, the z commands attention
[00:01:13] without saying a
[00:01:14] word,
[00:01:19] it is not just headware, it is
[00:01:25] of in presence, once humble inform,
[00:01:29] the... has grown into a national emblem of
[00:01:32] sophistication, it patterns whispering stories
[00:01:36] of heritage, patience and
[00:01:38] precision, each
[00:01:42] curve,
[00:01:45] in each of color, each stitch carefully
[00:01:49] chorographed like a cultural
[00:01:51] symphony,
[00:01:59] here in May douguri the cap find its
[00:02:02] heartbeat. In modest
[00:02:06] workshops, artisans bent over
[00:02:09] fabric like poets over
[00:02:12] of verses, threatening not just needles,
[00:02:16] but
[00:02:16] legacy.
[00:02:20] Ours meld into days as
[00:02:23] of colors intertwine, forming intricate motives
[00:02:27] that equal the resilience. and elegance
[00:02:31] of the
[00:02:32] of Kanenburno
[00:02:36] heritage, the needle
[00:02:37] dances, the fabric
[00:02:40] listens and
[00:02:44] slowly master peace is
[00:02:47] born,
[00:02:57] ya kamata a ce ka sami hula irin wannan mai kyau kasa a kan. Designer cap
[00:03:01] is a proud symbol of style and culture in northern Nigeria made
[00:03:05] right here in Maidugri. From here I export this caps to
[00:03:08] countries like England, Saudi Arabia, Niger and
[00:03:12] Cameroon, showing the quality and skill of our own people. The business is
[00:03:16] driving and very much profitable. Premium caps sell from
[00:03:20] 80,000 nar to over 100,000ira, while simpler designs
[00:03:24] go for 20,000 nar to 25, naking them both
[00:03:27] valuable and accessible. You cannot
[00:03:31] find an authentic Zana cap anywhere else but here in Medigry.
[00:03:35] I've spent over 25 years in this craft, supplying
[00:03:39] customers across Nigeria and
[00:03:41] a beyond. Niger republic, Cameroon, Saudi Arabia,
[00:03:45] China, and even the United States. For us, it's more
[00:03:49] than business, but heritage. We passed the skill down to our wives
[00:03:53] a and children, ensuring the tradition leaves on. Each Zana cup
[00:03:57] is a work of patience and precision. taking one to two
[00:04:01] months to complete a
[00:04:03] a single quality design. Today the zander
[00:04:06] cup rests on distinguished heads, quietly
[00:04:10] announcing status and
[00:04:12] style. From Nigeria's vice
[00:04:17] ti presidentimagina, the
[00:04:20] billionaire philanthropist Muhammad Indemi, a
[00:04:24] constellation of influential figures. It has become
[00:04:28] a signature of north. and
[00:04:30] excellence,
[00:04:36] to see it is to see borneau, it
[00:04:40] is to embody
[00:04:42] pride, in
[00:04:45] borno, for so many years our people used
[00:04:49] to wear zap uh as part
[00:04:52] of their tradition as part
[00:04:54] of their culture as well as well as as part
[00:04:57] of uh earning respect. for because you are
[00:05:01] incompleted, you don't have cap on your head, so that was how
[00:05:04] it originated, it came all the way uh from
[00:05:08] from Yemen, so as I i said earlier,
[00:05:12] it is just a collection of pieces of different
[00:05:16] colors of clothing, they cut it small, small,
[00:05:20] small, and then they put it together to make it
[00:05:24] cap, but nowadays our people are using different colors
[00:05:28] of threat to make zand cap, as
[00:05:32] you are now, if you are you out cap, even if you go to the
[00:05:36] palace or any other big mass place with your cap on your head
[00:05:39] intact like this, they will say, okay, bz is
[00:05:43] around, og is around, but if you are, if you
[00:05:47] don't have your cap on your top,
[00:05:49] you know, on your head, sorry, if you don't wear cap,
[00:05:52] you know, they will see you one kind, they say, ah, where are you
[00:05:56] from,
[00:06:01] and on social media, the z has
[00:06:05] found new
[00:06:06] runway.
[00:06:13] young man draped in flowing caughtens,
[00:06:16] peried with confidence and charisma, turning
[00:06:20] tradition into trend, the message
[00:06:23] unmistakable, culture is not
[00:06:26] fading, it is
[00:06:28] evolving,
[00:06:35] a state long shadowed by conflict,
[00:06:39] the zap rises like a quiet rebellion,
[00:06:42] rewrited narratives through color,
[00:06:46] craft and creativity.
[00:06:50] every capsol is more than a
[00:06:52] transaction, it is
[00:06:54] testimony, story of
[00:06:57] resilience, a stitch of revival and a
[00:07:01] thread of hope. it fills local
[00:07:05] enterprise, empows young artisans
[00:07:08] and preserves heritage that refuses. to
[00:07:12] be forgotten, from the dusty roads of
[00:07:16] Maidugari to the polish red carpets of
[00:07:20] Abuja, the zap travels
[00:07:23] gracefully, confidently like an
[00:07:26] ambassador dropped in
[00:07:28] dignity.
[00:07:33] so the next time you see the zap, look beyond
[00:07:37] the fabric, listen closely, because within
[00:07:41] those straight l story of people of a
[00:07:45] culture that refuses to whisper when it can
[00:07:48] boldly
[00:07:49] shine.
[00:07:53] how do look? of course stunning as
[00:07:56] always, jessie tofida, tvc news, my
[00:08:00] dugery
[00:08:10] brought to you by remedly. Send money home,
[00:08:14] safely with
[00:08:15] remedly,
[00:08:27] deep in the outsket of Lagus lies town
[00:08:31] the time almost forgot, welcome
[00:08:34] to known as the city of
[00:08:38] refuge.
[00:08:51] In the 1800s, this was a sanctuary for those
[00:08:54] fleeing war, today it's a home to the biggest
[00:08:58] serming relocation in West Africa. The
[00:09:02] only festival that brings attention to this
[00:09:05] community is,
[00:09:09] vibrant reminder of identity, resilience. and
[00:09:13] heritage.
[00:09:21] It took us about three hours to drive
[00:09:24] ekwe. The journey into Agowa tells
[00:09:28] its own story, long roads, quiet
[00:09:31] surroundings.
[00:09:38] Life here is simple.
[00:09:45] For many residents, agowa feels far removed from the chaos
[00:09:49] of central Lagus, the pressure and the relentless
[00:09:53] pace of city
[00:09:54] life. The first move to
[00:09:58] what resettlement began in 1999 during the
[00:10:01] administration of then governor Bola Chinubu,
[00:10:05] vision carried forward decades later and executed under
[00:10:09] governor Babajideson wolu. It led to the movement.
[00:10:32] This is one the largest sawmill relocation in west
[00:10:36] africa, well two years after the sawmillers who were
[00:10:39] relocated from the Okubaba area of Ebutemeta
[00:10:42] yaba area of Lagos States say the journey has been an
[00:10:46] interesting
[00:10:47] one.
[00:11:03] Here a new way of life has taken
[00:11:06] shape, ford through adaptation, survival
[00:11:10] and necessity. Razzaq Morgaji, a wooden
[00:11:14] photo frame caver is one of many who made the
[00:11:18] move, and some people don't want to come here, later they still
[00:11:20] come, because the if nothing,
[00:11:24] they don't if they don't. person for one place and that place nothing there again, what
[00:11:28] are you waiting for there? they say they give them
[00:11:31] some and estate, so this and
[00:11:35] we are seeing it, but as the small small association under
[00:11:38] something, they are not give us anything, nobody can fight government, want
[00:11:42] to fight
[00:11:42] government,
[00:11:47] compensation was promised, but for many it never
[00:11:50] matched what was lost, what we needed from the government was that okay you
[00:11:54] want to rela us okay, where we are coming
[00:11:58] from, we have our sheds, we have our
[00:12:01] waterfronts, we have our offices, and all these
[00:12:05] things have been provided by the government, those that want to move
[00:12:08] moved, you not everybody want a
[00:12:12] change, you lot of people believe that ah, at this point can
[00:12:16] i change, so some didn't come, new ones
[00:12:19] joined, like before we burn our saw dust, and you burning saw
[00:12:23] dust near the turmilan breed is not held. for the environment
[00:12:26] itself so that okay we need to we
[00:12:28] need to move to new place and once the government have provided me with what i
[00:12:31] want so what do i need to go back there again today
[00:12:35] boats carry their livelihoods log
[00:12:38] choose people rewriting how business is
[00:12:42] done but the story doesn't end with the
[00:12:46] samiles another relocation is on the
[00:12:49] horizon
[00:12:54] communities built
[00:12:55] on
[00:13:02] water now face displacement again, the
[00:13:06] lagos government and the state assembly agree on one
[00:13:09] thing, those leaving on these water fronts must
[00:13:13] move, but beyond this decision, questions
[00:13:16] remain, the
[00:13:20] directive of Mr. Governor, we are working
[00:13:22] together.
[00:13:29] community, however,
[00:13:30] anybody.
[00:13:45] It is from the executive, we are just there to say
[00:13:47] they should hurt demolition until further directly from they have
[00:13:51] complied recommended 100 houses for them making 300. houses for
[00:13:55] 100 for Makoko, 100 for shokunro and 100 for making
[00:13:59] 300 houses. The government should relocate the remaining people of
[00:14:02] Makoko, shogruro anuoko agbon communities to the low
[00:14:06] cost housing stage, which will be built for them at
[00:14:09] ago,

[00:15:06] We are now see that the vision that has come is a greater
[00:15:09] vision, how we corporate, we work together, because
[00:15:13] nobody wanted to live
[00:15:16] a nonsense life, we wanted to live a greater life, like

[00:18:03] The main occupation is fishing.
[00:18:07] president say they have kept the sanctity the water for many years
[00:18:11] and they say they are not exactly open to having people build
[00:18:15] the houses on water. not everyone is
[00:18:18] ready, there are affairs of overcrowding,
[00:18:22] pollution and losing what makes this place
[00:18:24] home.

[00:19:33] The question remains what part of a will be dressed out for
[00:19:36] them? and will history once again make this town
[00:19:40] refuge or something else entirely?
[00:19:44] concerns over education, healthcare,
[00:19:47] security and cultural identity brought me
[00:19:51] back second time to agowa.
[00:19:55] this time to the palace of oba wolaabi momsen, the
[00:19:58] abowa of agbowa ikusi kingdom, it says the
[00:20:02] doors are open. very peaceful community, no doubt
[00:20:06] about that. and
[00:20:10] we welcome people from all works of lives,
[00:20:13] you know, whether you are indigen or non-indigen,
[00:20:17] you are welcome to, because
[00:20:20] we cannot do it alone, we need all hands to be on deck, and
[00:20:24] that is why we are looking forward to receiving the people from
[00:20:28] makoko, to come here, settle down here and be
[00:20:32] doing their business, and i can assure them that their business we trive
[00:20:36] here in. because we have water front
[00:20:40] and that is what they need essentially for
[00:20:42] their business or businesses if you like,
[00:20:46] and the local government agrees, more infrastructure. facilities
[00:20:50] are coming up
[00:20:51] we have okobaba timba village here and i know some them
[00:20:55] even though they are fishermen they are very they
[00:20:58] work par when they were at makoko to so they are coming here
[00:21:02] they are coming to do their business and nobody will harass
[00:21:06] them nobody will harass them when they come and work here
[00:21:10] so yeah security wise we don't we
[00:21:13] don't they are coming because i know they are coming
[00:21:17] someone they are coming with some them who
[00:21:21] are uh
[00:21:24] who are not responsible, so let me not use criminal, but the are
[00:21:27] we have security that are in place are
[00:21:31] ready to combat any criminality that will be
[00:21:35] coming along with them, this is on ground, just like legos,
[00:21:39] security officials speaking off camera, describe a
[00:21:43] system they say is solid, familiar,
[00:21:46] reliable even as the population shifts.
[00:21:53] This is agowa secondary school, here continuity
[00:21:57] becomes possible, a chance to stay in one place long
[00:22:00] enough to learn, to grow and to keep up with an education
[00:22:04] system that is constantly evolving, compared to
[00:22:08] the challenges of learning on water where movement,
[00:22:12] weather and access often interrupt the school
[00:22:15] day, schooling in agowa ofer something more
[00:22:19] stable, opposite the
[00:22:23] school stands the agowa primary health center,
[00:22:26] quiet, modest or essential,
[00:22:30] commissioned by walianamon, the LCDA chairman, the
[00:22:33] closest to the water side and the lifeline for the
[00:22:36] community, inside the pharmacist on
[00:22:40] duty speaks with calm assurance, the facility may not
[00:22:44] see overwhelming crowds, but it is equipped to care
[00:22:48] for those who walk through its door. here life begins
[00:22:52] and is sustained, they do come,
[00:22:55] okay, they do come, especially on Tuesday, Wednesday like
[00:22:59] this, that's is the
[00:23:02] immunization, so for pregnancy
[00:23:05] women and children, problem we are having with them
[00:23:09] is, in some cases if they come like that, to
[00:23:13] get drugs, we always like advise them,
[00:23:16] like preach to them before they get the dr and most cases
[00:23:20] disease that disease is common is common
[00:23:23] there due to the beside
[00:23:26] water disease
[00:23:28] like at times um diarrhea cf
[00:23:31] katar sometimes malaria sometimes severe
[00:23:35] malaria at times so it's common
[00:23:39] there and for them to come outside we have difficulties with
[00:23:42] them as dusk settled decided to
[00:23:46] spend the night in agoa not just to observe but but to
[00:23:50] better understand how the town functions beyond the
[00:23:53] daytime when routines are less structured,
[00:23:57] there's no fair, shop remains open into the late
[00:24:01] hours, groups of young people laughing,
[00:24:04] gathering, talking and enjoying their evening like
[00:24:08] any other community. agowa
[00:24:12] and its surrounding areas exist within a broader coastal
[00:24:16] and riverian ecosystem and with proper plan
[00:24:20] infrastructure can be developed to support fishing and
[00:24:24] related economic activities. The question is not
[00:24:28] whether alternatives exist, but whether there is sufficient
[00:24:31] willingness from all stakeholders to explore and
[00:24:35] refine them collaboratively. For
[00:24:39] now, agowa stands at crossroads a town
[00:24:42] once devend by refuge, now learning again how to
[00:24:46] receive those with nowhere else to go.
[00:24:50] but this time at what
[00:24:52] coast tvc
[00:24:56] news
[00:24:57] licos

[00:25:15] you by remedly send money home safely
[00:25:19] with remedly
[00:25:27] November
[00:29:35] every clash of ideas begin the same
[00:29:38] way,
[00:29:39] differences
[00:29:43] would be disagreement, two voices, two views,
[00:29:47] standing apart or an argument, a battle to win,
[00:29:51] to prove or to conquer, both are born from
[00:29:55] differences, one can open the door to respect, sound, are you
