[00:01:01] from sacred mosks to high
[00:01:04] of provide gatherings, the zanna cap commands attention
[00:01:08] without saying a
[00:01:09] word.
[00:01:13] it is not just headware, it is
[00:01:20] of in presence. once humble inform, the
[00:01:24] zener cap has grown into a national emblem of
[00:01:27] sophistication, it patterns with. stories
[00:01:30] of heritage, patience and
[00:01:33] precision, it
[00:01:37] curve,
[00:01:39] in each of color, each stitch carefully
[00:01:43] chorographed like a cultural
[00:01:46] symphony,
[00:01:54] here in Maiduuguri the cap find its
[00:01:57] heartbeat. In modest
[00:02:01] workshops, artisans bent over
[00:02:04] fabric like poets over
[00:02:07] of verses, threatening not just needles,
[00:02:10] but
[00:02:11] legacy.
[00:02:14] Ours meld into days as colors
[00:02:18] of intertwine, forming intricate motives
[00:02:22] that echo the resilience and elegance
[00:02:26] of of the canenburno heritage.
[00:02:30] The needle dances, the
[00:02:34] fabric listens and
[00:02:38] slowly masterpiece is
[00:02:41] born,
[00:02:52] ya
[00:02:52] kamata a ce ka sami hula irin wannan mai kyau
[00:02:54] ka
[00:03:00] here in May togri, from here, I export this caps to countries
[00:03:04] like England, Saudi Arabia, Niger and Cameroon, showing the
[00:03:07] quality and skill of our own people, the business is thriving and
[00:03:11] very much profitable, premium caps sell from 80,000 nar
[00:03:15] to over 100, while simpler designs go for
[00:03:19] 20,000 to 25, naking them both
[00:03:22] valuable and accessible, you cannot
[00:03:26] find an authentic Zana Cup anywhere else but here in Medigry. I've
[00:03:30] spent over 25 years in this craft, supplying customers
[00:03:34] across Nigeria and beyond,
[00:03:36] of Niger Republic, Cameroon, Saudi Arabia,
[00:03:40] China, and even the United States. For us, it's more than
[00:03:44] of business, but heritage. We passed the skill down to our wifes and
[00:03:48] children, ensuring the
[00:03:49] of tradition leaves on. Each Zana cap is a work of patience and
[00:03:53] precision, often taking one to two months to complete a
[00:03:57] a single quality design. Today, the Zana
[00:04:01] Cup rests on distinguished heads, quietly announcing
[00:04:05] status and style. From
[00:04:09] Nigeria's Vice President, Kashim
[00:04:11] ti Shetima, Burna state governor, Baba Ginazulum, the
[00:04:15] billionaire philanthropist Muhammadu Indemi and a
[00:04:18] constellation of influential figures, it has become
[00:04:22] a signature of northern
[00:04:24] excellence.
[00:04:31] To see it is to see burno, it
[00:04:35] is to embody
[00:04:36] pride. In
[00:04:40] borneau, for so many years our people
[00:04:44] used to wear Zana cap, as part
[00:04:47] of their tradition, as part
[00:04:48] of their culture, as well as well as as part
[00:04:52] of uh earning
[00:04:54] in respect, for
[00:04:55] of because you are incomplete, you don't
[00:04:56] of have cap on your head, so that was how it origin. nated, it
[00:05:00] came all the way from from from
[00:05:03] in Yemen, so as I i said earlier, it is
[00:05:07] just a collection of pieces of different colors
[00:05:11] of of. clothing, they cut it small, small, small, and then
[00:05:15] they put it together to make it cap, but
[00:05:19] nowadays, people are using different colors of
[00:05:23] threat to make uh z, as you
[00:05:26] are now, if you are your out, even if you go to the
[00:05:30] palace or any other big mass place with your cap on your head
[00:05:34] intact like this, they will say okay baranzi is
[00:05:37] around, oga is around, but if you are if you
[00:05:41] don't have your cap on your top, on your head,
[00:05:45] sorry, if you don't wear cap you know, they will see you one kind,
[00:05:49] they say, ah, where are
[00:05:50] you
[00:05:56] from, and on social media vap has
[00:05:59] found new
[00:06:00] runway,
[00:06:07] young man, dropped in flowing caughtens, pair
[00:06:11] it with confidence. and charisma turning
[00:06:14] tradition into trend, the message
[00:06:18] unmistakable, culture is not
[00:06:21] fading, it is
[00:06:23] evolving,
[00:06:30] a state long shadowed by conflict, the
[00:06:34] z rises like a quiet rebellion,
[00:06:37] werrited narratives through color,
[00:06:41] craft and... activity,
[00:06:44] every cup sold is more than a
[00:06:47] transaction, it is
[00:06:49] testimony, story of
[00:06:52] resilience, a stage of revival and a
[00:06:56] thread of hope. it fills local
[00:07:00] enterprise, empows young artisans
[00:07:03] and preserves heritage that refuses to
[00:07:07] be forgotten, from the dusty roads of
[00:07:11] maydugory, to the polish red carpets of
[00:07:14] Abuja, the zana cup travels
[00:07:18] gracefully, confidently, like an
[00:07:21] ambassador dropped in
[00:07:23] dignity.
[00:07:28] so the next time you see the zana cap, look beyond
[00:07:32] the fabric, listen closely, because within
[00:07:36] those straight lies story of people of a
[00:07:39] culture that refuses to whisper. when it can
[00:07:43] boldly
[00:07:44] shine,
[00:07:48] how do I look? of course, stunning, as
[00:07:51] always, Jesse tofida, TVC News,
[00:07:54] myjugory,
[00:08:05] brought to you by Remedley, send money home,
[00:08:08] safely with remedly.
[00:08:21] Deep in the outfit of Lagos lies town
[00:08:25] that time almost forgot, welcome
[00:08:28] to known as the city of
[00:08:32] refugee.
[00:08:45] In the 1800s, this was a sanctuary for those
[00:08:49] fleeing war. Today, it's a home to the
[00:08:52] biggest some relocation in West Africa.
[00:08:56] The only festival that brings attention to this
[00:09:00] community is thereke a
[00:09:03] vibrant reminder of identity, resiliance and
[00:09:07] heritage.
[00:09:16] It took us about 3 hours to drive
[00:09:18] ekwe, the journey into agowa tells
[00:09:22] its own story, long roads, quiet
[00:09:25] surroundings,
[00:09:33] life here is
[00:09:34] simple,
[00:09:40] for many residents, feels far removed from the chaos
[00:09:44] of central lagas, the pressure and the relentless
[00:09:48] pace of city
[00:09:49] life. The first move
[00:09:53] towards resettlement began in 1999 during the
[00:09:56] administration of then governor Bola Chinubu,
[00:10:00] vision carried forward decades later and executed under
[00:10:03] Governor Babaji Deson Wolu. It led to the movement the
[00:10:07] Okubaba plank market from the dense heart of Ibuche
[00:10:11] meta to Disevolving settlement, now known as
[00:10:15] Timberville
[00:10:16] agbawa.
[00:10:27] This is one the largest some relocation in West
[00:10:30] Africa. Well, two years after, the smillers who were
[00:10:34] relocated from the Okubaba area of Ebuche Meta,
[00:10:38] Yaba area of Lagos States, say the journey has been an interesting
[00:10:42] one.
[00:10:58] Here a new way of life has taken
[00:11:01] shape, forged through adaptation, survival
[00:11:05] and necessity. Razzaq Morgaji, a wooden
[00:11:09] photo frame caver is one of many who made the
[00:11:12] move, now some people don't want to come here, later they still
[00:11:15] come, because the if nothing, they not, if there
[00:11:19] is
[00:11:19] one pursue person for one place and that place nothing there again, what are you waiting
[00:11:23] for there, they say? and give them some million and
[00:11:27] estate so so this and we are seeing it but as the
[00:11:31] small small association under something they are not
[00:11:35] nobody can give us fight
[00:11:35] anything government want to fight
[00:11:37] government
[00:11:42] compensation was promised but for many it never
[00:11:45] matched what was lost what we needed from the government was that okay you
[00:11:49] want to relocate us okay where we are coming
[00:11:53] from we have our share we have our
[00:11:56] waterfronts, we have our offices, and all these
[00:12:00] things have been provided by the government, those that want to move,
[00:12:03] moved, not everybody want a
[00:12:06] change, lot of people believe that, at this point can
[00:12:10] i change, so something come, new ones
[00:12:14] joined, like before we burn our saw dust, and you burning saw
[00:12:17] dust near the turn breed is not healthy for the environment
[00:12:21] itself, so that okay, we need to we need to move to new place and
[00:12:25] that provided me with what i want, so what do i need to go back there again?
[00:12:29] today, boats carry their livelihoods,
[00:12:32] log, choose, people rewriting how
[00:12:35] business is done, but the story
[00:12:39] doesn't end with the samilers, another relocation
[00:12:43] is on the
[00:12:44] horizon,
[00:12:51] maoko, shogoro, okuakpọ,
[00:12:55] communities built on water now face displacement
[00:12:59] again, the legos government and the state
[00:13:02] assembly agree on one thing, those living on these
[00:13:06] waterfronts must move, but beyond this
[00:13:09] decision, questions
[00:13:11] remain, the
[00:13:14] directive of Mr. Governor, we are working
[00:13:16] together, ni
[00:13:20] wokan mo for now, titi ti ma fi agree pẹlu awọn community,
[00:13:24] however
[00:13:39] It is from the executive, we are just there to say
[00:13:42] they should demolition until further directly from they have
[00:13:46] complied recommended 100 houses for them making 300 houses for
[00:13:50] 100 forako, 100 for shokunro and 100 for making
[00:13:53] 300 houses. government should relocate the remaining people of
[00:13:57] makoko, shogruro and communities to the low
[00:14:01] cost housing estage, which will be built for them at agbowa
[00:14:04] ẹkorodu. Agbowa is under
[00:14:08] ẹ. So, please let's know that. Gẹgẹ bi se

[00:15:00] We are now see that the vision that are come is a greater
[00:15:04] vision, how we corporate, we work together, because
[00:15:07] nobody wanted to leave a nonsense
[00:15:11] life, we wanted to live a greater life like
[00:15:14] those who are living the duples,
[00:15:18] whatever, we too we need, okay, reason of our
[00:15:22] occupation, that's why we are water. For
[00:15:26] months, voices resisted, now they ask for
[00:15:29] something simpler, fairness. Many families
[00:15:33] are still without shelter, sleeping in canos of
[00:15:37] rajar wooden structures: where is
[00:15:41] the place he want to
[00:15:44] locate our people for, where is the
[00:15:48] money our people asking for them as a
[00:15:51] compensation? we we are not go call any
[00:15:55] lawyer or any Io to

[00:16:11] Some
[00:16:11] have started moving, oters stay back, holding to
[00:16:15] hope.
[00:16:21] Hearing, adjusting is not
[00:16:24] easy.

[00:17:58] occupation is fisin. Well, the residents say
[00:18:02] they have kept the sanctity the water for many years
[00:18:06] and they say. exactly open to having people build
[00:18:09] their houses on water, not everyone is
[00:18:13] ready, there are affairs of overcrowding,
[00:18:16] pollution and losing what makes this place
[00:18:19] home.

[00:19:27] The question remains, what part of agbowa will be dressed out for
[00:19:31] them, and will history once again make this town
[00:19:35] refuge or something else entirely?
[00:19:38] Concerns over education, healthcare,
[00:19:42] security and cultural identity brought me
[00:19:45] back second time,
[00:19:49] this time to the palace
[00:19:51] of
[00:19:55] kingdom, it says the doors are
[00:19:58] open, very peaceful community, no doubt about
[00:20:01] that, and we welcome
[00:20:05] people from all works of lives. you know, whether you are
[00:20:09] indigen or non-indigen, you are welcome to
[00:20:13] Agwasi, because - we cannot do it alone,
[00:20:17] we need all hands to be on deck, and that is why we are looking
[00:20:20] forward to receiving the people from Makoko,
[00:20:24] you know, to come here, settle down here and be doing their business,
[00:20:28] and now I can assure them that their business will thrive here
[00:20:31] agwasi, because we have waterfront, and that is
[00:20:35] what they need essentially for. their business or
[00:20:39] businesses if you like, and the local government
[00:20:42] agrees, more infrastructural facilities are coming up, we
[00:20:46] have okobabatimba village here, and I know some them...
[00:20:50] even though they are fishermen they are very they work par when they were
[00:20:54] at makoko to so they are coming here they are coming to
[00:20:58] do their business and nobody will harass them nobody will harass
[00:21:02] them when they come and work here so security
[00:21:06] wise we don't we don't i said they are coming
[00:21:10] because i know they are coming some of they are coming
[00:21:13] with some them who
[00:21:16] are who are not responsible
[00:21:20] so let me not use criminal, but the we have
[00:21:23] security that are in place are ready
[00:21:27] to combat any criminality that will be coming
[00:21:30] along with them, this is on grand just like legos, security
[00:21:34] officials speaking off camera, describe a system they
[00:21:38] say is solid, familiar, reliable,
[00:21:42] even as the population
[00:21:43] shifts,
[00:21:47] this is agowa secondary school, Here continuity
[00:21:51] becomes possible, a chance to stay in one place long
[00:21:55] enough to learn, to grow and to keep up with an education
[00:21:59] system that is constantly evolving, compared to
[00:22:03] the challenges of learning on water where movement,
[00:22:07] weather and access often interrupt the school
[00:22:10] day, schooling in agowa offers something more
[00:22:14] stable, opposite the
[00:22:17] school stands the agowa primary health. center,
[00:22:21] quiet, modest, but essential,
[00:22:24] commissioned by Wali Anomon, the LCDA chairman, the
[00:22:28] closest to the water side and lifeline for the
[00:22:31] community. Inside, the pharmacist on
[00:22:35] duty speaks with calm assurance, the facility may not
[00:22:39] see overwhelming crowds, but
[00:22:41] it is equipped to care for those who walk through its
[00:22:44] doors. Here life begins and is
[00:22:48] sustained. They do come. Okay, they do
[00:22:51] come, especially on Tuesday, Wednesday like this,
[00:22:55] that's is is the immunization, so for
[00:22:58] pregnancy, women and children,
[00:23:02] problem we are having with them is, in some cases, if
[00:23:06] they come like that to get drugs, we always like advise
[00:23:10] them, like preach to them before they get the drug, and
[00:23:14] most cases that disease is common is
[00:23:17] common there due to the... beside
[00:23:20] water,
[00:23:22] like i times um dia, cf,
[00:23:26] katar, sometimes malaria, sometimes severe
[00:23:30] malaria at times, so it's common
[00:23:33] there, and for them to come outside, we have difficulties with
[00:23:37] them, as dusk settled, decided to
[00:23:41] spend the night in agoa no, not just to observe, but to
[00:23:45] better understand how the town functions beyond the
[00:23:48] daytime, when r are less structured,
[00:23:52] there's no fair, sharp remains open into the late
[00:23:56] hours, groups of young people laughing,
[00:23:59] gathering, talking and enjoying their evening like
[00:24:03] any other community. agowa
[00:24:07] and its surrounding areas exist within a broader
[00:24:10] coastal and riverine ecosystem, and with
[00:24:14] proper planning, infrastructure can be developed to support
[00:24:17] fishing and related economy. activities, the
[00:24:21] question is not whether alternatives exist, but whether there
[00:24:25] is sufficient willingness from all stakeholders to
[00:24:28] explore and refine them
[00:24:31] collaboratively. for now, agowa
[00:24:35] stands at cross roads a town wants defined by
[00:24:38] refuge, now learning again how to receive
[00:24:41] those with nowhere else to go, but this
[00:24:45] time at what
[00:24:47] coast. TVC
